IPEC and its affiliates have a strong commitment to providing excellent service to all of their customers, including respecting their concerns about privacy. We understand that visitors to our Site may have questions about whether and how this Site collects and uses information. This statement informs you of the privacy principles that govern Ipec.com. This statement contains numerous general and technical details about the steps we take to respect your privacy concerns. As described in this Privacy Notice, we do not authorize the selling or renting of your personal information to unaffiliated third parties for their business purposes.
By using this Site, you accept the practices described in this Privacy Notice, which is effective as of October 26, 2005, and is a part of the Conditions governing the use of this Site. To the extent we amend our Privacy Notice from time to time, your use of this Site after such amendments constitute acceptance of those amendments going forward.
Browsing and Transaction Processing: As you navigate within our Site, we will be collecting and tracking personal information, either through direct inquiries about you (such as your name, address or e-mail address) or by using data-tracking software which tells us which parts of the Site you have browsed.
In addition, if you make an information request, a product sample request, or purchase any of our products, we will ask you for information such as your name, address, telephone number, financial information, such as your credit card number, and e-mail address to process your request. We will use your personal information to process your requests. This includes contacting you to confirm your request, fulfilling the request and, if applicable, shipping your order.

Use of Information: We treat the information you provide to us as confidential information; it is, accordingly, subject to our company's security procedures and strict corporate policies regarding protection and use of confidential information.

We may give these entities access to our customers' personal information to perform these functions for us and do not authorize them to use that information for any other purpose. Additionally, it is possible that IPEC, part of IPEC's business or one of its affiliates could merge with, acquire or be acquired by another business entity and your personal information could be among the assets transferred.
We reserve the right to share personal information about you with our affiliates in the course of our business operations. We also reserve the right to share personal information about you as required by law or in cooperation with legal authorities and to enforce the Conditions of this Site or to protect the rights, property, or safety of IPEC, its affiliates and its customers.
