This Internet Privacy Notice covers Johnson Power Vac, Inc.'s treatment of personally identifiable information that we collect when you are on our site or using our services.  This Privacy Notice also applies to JPV, Inc.'s treatment of any personally identifiable information that our business partners share with us.  This Internet Privacy Notice does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to people that we do not employ or manage.

We take reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable information as you transmit your information from your computer to our site and to protect such information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.  JPV, Inc. has full SSL security in place for all orders submitted through our internet site.  When you enter the checkout area of our store, you are in the secure portion of the JPV, Inc. website.  This can be verified by checking that the URL in the address window of your browser changes from http:// to https:// and you will be able to see that you are in a secure, encrypted mode by noticing that in Internet Explorer a lock icon appears on the status bar and in Netscape the security lock icon on the button bar and on the bottom of the page is now locked.  All transactions that involve personal and credit card information use a secure, encrypted connection ensuring your privacy. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free.  In particular, e-mail sent to or from this site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail.  Moreover, where you use passwords, ID numbers, or other special access features on this site, it is your responsibility to safeguard them.

To provide additional information for our visitors and customers, Johnson Power Vac may from time to time provide links to other sites which we feel contain pertinent or useful content.  These sites are carefully chosen; however, since they are not maintained by JPV, Inc., we cannot guarantee the quality of information, or be held responsible for any inaccurate or misleading content which might be present on these sites.

JPV, Inc. may collect personally identifiable information when you visit or use our pages.  We automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, cookie information and the page you requested.  This information may be used for three general purposes: to customize the content you see, to fulfill your requests for certain services and information, and to contact you.

We respect your privacy when you provide JPV, Inc. with information while you are online at www.johnsonpowervac.com.  We feel it is important for you to understand what information is collected about you during your visit and what we do with that information.  This Internet Privacy Notice is designed to tell you about our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information that you may provide via this site and certain related services.  Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using, or submitting information, to this site.  Your visit to www.johnsonpowervac.com is subject to this Privacy Notice and to our Conditions of Use.  This site is intended primarily for use by residents of the United States.

JPV, Inc. is completely dedicated to protecting the privacy of visitors to our site who voluntarily provide us with on-line information about themselves.  We do not trade, sell, or loan personal information, such as e-mail or standard mailing addresses, phone numbers, etc., to any other company or organization under any circumstances.

By using this site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy Notice.  Whenever you submit information via this site, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Internet Privacy Notice.  If you would prefer that we not collect any personally identifiable information from you, please do not provide us with any such information.

This site and its contents are intended for property owners, and homemakers.  It was not our intention that children under the age of 18 make use of this site. We will not knowingly collect information from site visitors that are not considered to be adults.

Like many Internet sites, this site actively collects information from its visitors both by asking you specific questions and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via e-mail, and feedback forms.  Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and so on).

Some areas of this site may require you to submit information in order for you to benefit from the specified features (such as order processing) or to participate in a particular activity such as a promotion.  You will be informed at each information collection point what information is required and what information is optional.

As you navigate through a Web site, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol addresses, cookies, Internet tags, and navigational data collection.

We use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses on this site. An IP Address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information. We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to our site, and to administer and improve our site.

A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web site sends to your Web browser that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences.  We do use "cookies" on this site.

"Internet tags" (also known as breadcrumbs, single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the Web site server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor's computer. We use Internet tags at this site. These tags have been placed on various pages of the site, and indicate how many times a page is opened and which information is consulted.  We do not collect or seek personally identifiable information through these tags.

"Navigational data" ("log files," "server logs," and "clickstream" data) are used for system management, to improve the content of the site, for market research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors.  This site uses navigational data.

Except as otherwise stated, we may use your information to improve the content of our site, to customize the site to better serve the intended audience, for our marketing and research purposes, to communicate information to you (if you have requested it), and for the purposes specified in this Internet Privacy Notice.

If you provide personally identifiable information to this site, we may combine such information with other actively collected information unless we specify otherwise at the point of collection.  We will take reasonable measures to prevent personally identifiable information from being combined with passively collected information, unless you consent otherwise.

Any changes to the Johnson Power Vac privacy notice will be promptly communicated on this page.  This Internet Privacy Notice was last updated on 06/20/2005.
