What information does Trusted PC Components collect from you?
In order to better provide you with numerous products and services, Trusted PC Components collects two types of information about its visitors: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using our site. Any information you provide to us at this site when you establish or update an account, shop online or request information (i.e. name, address, email address and telephone number) is maintained in the strictest confidence. Trusted PC Components does not share this information with any third parties. Personally Identifiable Information Personal information is requested when you order a product or service, enter contests or sweepstakes, fill out surveys, and send us feedback. Personally identifiable information may include your name, billing address, shipping address, telephone number, email address, and credit card or other payment information. This information allows Trusted PC Components to provide you with better and more personalized services on our site. Non-Personally Identifiable Information Non-personally identifiable information does not in itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based upon where you shop on our site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. For example, this information may include the Web site's Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.
