PRIVACY POLICY

Dear Visitor:
We want you to know how we handle the information you send us via the internet. The internet is a dynamic, continually changing environment. Within that spirit of dynamism, our Privacy Policy will evolve and change.
We strive to keep you informed by updating this Privacy Policy as our procedures change. This Policy was last updated on September 15, 2001. We invite you to review our Policy regularly to stay informed.

To make your visit to JohnWSheetz.com more productive, to improve our Web site and to tailor your future visits to your preferences, we collect certain visitor information.

AUTOMATIC COLLECTION

Our Web server automatically recognizes only the visitor's domain name (not the e-mail address). The visitor's browser and platform type (e.g., Netscape browser on a Microsoft platform) are recorded.

Cookies
We use cookies to record the visitor's session information (such as the visitor's shopping selections when ordering) and to record user-specific information on the pages the visitor selects for viewing.

E-mail Addresses
When visitors send us e-mail, we retain their e-mail address. We retain the e-mail addresses of those visitors who give us their e-mail addresses when they place orders. We do not contact visitors by their e-mail address except to confirm an on-line order, if the purchaser requests e-mail confirmation, or respond to a sender's e-mail query.

Visitor-Keyed Information
We retain information provided by our visitor, such as registration information, transaction information (e.g., dates on which customers made purchases, amounts and types of purchases) and contact information (e.g., name, address, phone number).

Our visitor also has the ability to correct inaccuracies in contact information and unique identifiers. On request with verification, we will give the visitor a reminder with unique identifier information (e.g., customer number or password).

Telephone Numbers
Visitors who give us their telephone numbers on-line will only receive telephone contact from us with information regarding orders they have placed on-line.

Ad Servers
John W. Sheetz & Sons does not have arrangements with any ad server companies for this Web site.

Security
We use industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving customer data
exchanged with our site server. All other data transfer is conducted through a secure phone line.

Children's On-line Privacy
We ask that children do not submit information to us without the consent of a parent or guardian. The Children's On-line Privacy Protection Act took effect April 21, 2000 and pertains to Web sites directed toward children less than 13 years of age. JohnWSheetz.com does not collect information on any person under 13 years.

Disclosure
If required by law, court order or in the good faith belief that disclosure is otherwise advisable, we may disclose your information.
