Barcade.com uses information that
we collect from our visitors to personalize and improve your visit at
Barcade.com. We gather the following types of information:
Information you give us: Barcade.com collects any information which
you enter on our Web site. This information is normally provided when you
search, buy, participate in a contest, sweepstakes or on-line survey, or
when you communicate with any of our departments such as customer service,
sales or technical services through our Web site, telephone, mail or fax.
You also provide information when you establish an account with us.
Examples of the type of information you may supply us with include your
name, address, telephone number, credit card information, e-mail addresses,
and financial information such as your Social Security number. In some
instances, we ask you for other people's names and email addresses for the
sole purpose of fulfilling your specific request to email certain specific
information as part of our "email a friend" feature.
Automatic Information collected by us: We (or agents on our behalf)
collect anonymous information from visits to our sites through the use of
"Web Beacons." Web Beacons are simply web page elements which may
employ cookie technology that enable us to record anonymous data about
visits to or transactions made on our web site. This anonymous information
is sometimes known as "clickstream
data." We may use this data to analyze trends and statistics to
improve your online experience, or customer service. No personal data is
collected through the use of Web Beacons on our sites. Through the use of
cookies, we may also collect and analyze the IP address used to connect
your computer to the Internet; computer and connection information such as
your browser type and version; operating system and platform; purchase
history; confirmation when you open e-mail that we send you; and the URLs
which lead you to and around our Web site including the date and time. Your
browser allows you to reject cookies and software is available from third
parties which will allow you to visit our Web site without providing this
information. You are welcomed at our Web site if you use this software but
we will not be able to offer you our personalized services and we will be
unable to accept any orders from you.
Orders: If you place an order we use a secure order form which
requires you to provide contact, billing, and financial information. This
information is transmitted to your credit card company to authorize your
purchase. At certain times we may offer financing options with or without
third party participation. If you use a financing option, information
provided by you (such as your address, birth date, social security number,
and credit card number) may be used to request a credit report from third
parties or may be sent to a third party for processing. You will always be
informed of this at the time you select any available financing option. All
information obtained from you in the course of transacting orders is used
for the purpose of fulfilling your order in a timely manner and for
communicating the status of your order with you. Additionally, upon placing
an order, you will begin receiving both the Betson-Imperial Parts catalog
and the Betson.com email newsletter unless you opt-out of either or both by
clicking here or calling us at 201-438-1300.
Email Newsletter Subscription: If you request an email newsletter
subscription or enter a Barcade.com sponsored sweepstakes, we employ a
double opt-in subscription program. Upon registration, you will receive a
confirmation email to the email address you gave us with a link contained
within it or instructions for completing the subscription process. You will
not be fully subscribed to the newsletter until you click through the link
in the email we sent you or otherwise follow the instructions contained
therein. In order to make our emails more relevant and useful to you, our
servers may receive a confirmation when you open email from Barcade.com.
Sharing
of Information with third-parties:
Independent Contractors: We may employ other companies or
individuals to provide certain services to us such as analyzing customer
lists and data, providing marketing assistance, or consulting services.
These third parties will have access to the information needed to perform
their functions but cannot use that information for any other purpose. Any
3rd parties who use our data will be fully bound by this privacy policy. In
no event will the data being used by any unrelated third party include your
email address.
Orders: We will never share any telephone number(s), e-mail
addresses, or credit card information which you have given us with any
marketing partner(s) or any unrelated 3rd party. We may, however, share
your name and postal mailing address with a few carefully selected
marketing partners. You may opt-out of sharing this information at any time
by calling our customer service department at 201-438-1300.
Aggregate information: We provide aggregate information to some of
our business partners. This information does not allow them to identify you
individually in any way.
Credit card companies and shippers: When you buy something from us
we send your credit card information, name, billing address and the amount
of your purchase to your credit card company to verify and authorize the
purchase. Your name, telephone number and shipping information must be
provided to third party shippers such as UPS, Federal Express and the
United States Postal Service to deliver your purchase. There also may be
instances in which we drop-ship orders directly to you from one of our
manufacturers or suppliers. These drop-shippers are only given your name,
postal address, and telephone number for the sole purpose of fulfilling
your order.
Third Party Transaction-Level Data: If you visit our site from a
third-party site the third-party site may be able to access select information
from your individual transaction information. In order to track and credit
your transaction the third-party site may give you a unique code, cookie or
graphic which will uniquely identify you. This will only happen if you link
directly from a third party site to our Web site. Any transactions made at
our Web site while such a code is active will be reported back to the third
party site. We will only report non-personal information to these sites
such as the date of the transaction, the product(s) purchased and the
amount spent. We will not report any information to these third party sites
that will allow them to personally identify you and will never share your
email address with any 3rd party. The presence of a 3rd party navigation
bar atop our site is an indication that the third party site may be able to
see your activity on our site
Link to Third Party Site: Our Web site contains certain links to
third party sites, such as our vendors. Barcade.com is not responsible or
liable for the privacy practices or content found on these sites. We
suggest that you check the Privacy Notice of each site you visit.
Catalog Requests: When you request a catalog from Barcade.com we
share your name and postal address with a 3rd party fulfillment company for
the sole purpose of sending you the requested catalog. This 3rd party does
not store the information nor does it use this information for anything
other than its intended purpose.
Information about
Third Parties:

that operate as its affiliates; however, Barcade.com has not control over
their activities. Betson.com will immediately cease doing business with any

Law Enforcement
and Protection of Users:
We will release personally identifiable information to
third parties and organizations when we believe it is appropriate for us to
do so to comply with the law. We will also do so to cooperate with law
enforcement investigations, comply with court orders or subpoenas, protect the legal rights of us and our users, or when we
believe it is needed for fraud protection and/ or credit risk
reduction.
Business Transfer:
H. Betti Industries has been in business for 70 years. Barcade.com
is a division of H. Betti Industries. However, in the unlikely event that Barcade.com
is sold, has its assets acquired or transferred, whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, or merges or becomes affiliated with
any other division, individual or entity, any customer information owned or
under the control of Betson.com may be one of the transferred assets.
Security:
We employ the latest 128-bit encryption technology in
all areas of the site which require you to provide your
personal or account information, including online ordering, order status,
catalog request and most contest forms. Your name, your personal
information and especially your credit card number are safely stored in our
proprietary systems behind our firewall. Once you type your personal
information, it is sent instantly, encrypted, directly to our order
processing system which is on a server separate from our internet server.
To make sure you have the latest security features on your browser, you may
want to download the most recent version of your favorite browser, which
should have full SSL support.
Choice/Opt-Out:
Our Web site gives you the opportunity to opt-out of
receiving marketing communications from us. If you no longer wish to
receive communications from us you may opt-out by calling 201-438-1300.
SSL Data Encryption
Our Barcade.com website is registered with site
identification authorities to enable your browser to confirm our security
identity before any transmission is sent. With this technology, the
identity of our site is automatically confirmed behind the scenes prior to
the transmission of any customer information requested to complete an
online order and ensures that your data reaches your intended target or
your browser notifies you (prior to your sending any personal information)
that the potential receiving site looks suspicious and should be avoided.
Security Guarantee If you are using a security-enabled browser (such as
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 2.1 or greater, or Netscape Navigator
version 2.0 or greater), the information you send us regarding your
purchase is encrypted, making it extremely difficult to read even if it is
wrongly intercepted. At Betson.com, we utilize industry-standard Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of: potentially
sensitive information such as your name and address and other critically
sensitive information like your credit card number. Standing behind our
security technology, we also provide our Website Security Guarantee,
further ensuring that you are protected every time you buy online with us.
