on an aggregate basis. None of
this information is associated
with you as an individual.
2.
How Do We Use the Information You Provide to Us?

our business activities, providing customer service and
making available other products and services to our customers
and prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also use

3.
What are Cookies?
Cookies
are a feature of Web browser software that allows Web servers
to recognize the computer used to access website. They
are small pieces of data that are stored by a user's Web
browser on the user's hard drive. Cookies can remember
what information a user accesses on one Web page to simplify
subsequent interactions with that website by the same user
or to use the information to streamline the user's transactions
on related Web pages. This makes it easier for a user to
move from Web page to Web page and to complete commercial
transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your
online experience easier and more personalized.
4.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
We
use website browser software tools such as cookies and
Web server logs to gather information about our website
users' browsing activities in order to constantly improve
our website and better server our customers. This information
assists us to design and arrange our Web pages in the most
user-friendly manner and to continually improve our website
to better meet the needs of our customers and prospective
customers.
Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics. The
information in the cookies lets us trace the paths followed by users to our
website as they move from one page to another. Web server logs allow us to
count how many people visit our website and evaluate our website's visitor
capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture your individual e-mail
address or any personally identifying information about you although they
do permit us to send focused online banner advertisements or other such responses
to you.
5.

we may also use the information we collect to notify you

of your desire not to receive these offers by sending us
an e-mail request at info@FourSockeye.com.
6.
How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
When
you send confidential personal credit card information
to us via our website, a secure server software (PayPal)
encrypts all information you input before it is sent. The
information is scrambled en route and decoded once it reaches
the PayPal payment processing site.
Other e-mail that you may send to us may not be secure unless we advise you
that security measures will be in place prior to your transmitting the information.
For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential information such
as Social Security or account numbers to us through an unsecured e-mail.
7. Employee Access,
Training and Expectations
Our
corporate values, ethical standards, policies and practices
are committed to the protection of customer information.
In general, our business practices limit employee access
to confidential information and limit the use and disclosure
of such information to authorized persons, processes, and
transactions.
8.
How Can You Access and Correct Your Information?
You
may request access to all your personally identifiable
information that we collect online and maintain in our
database by e-mailing info@FourSockeye.com.

Do We Disclose Information to Outside Parties?
We
may provide aggregate information about out customers,
sales, website traffic patterns and related website information
to our affiliates or reputable third parties, but this

10.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We
may disclose information when legally compelled to do so,
in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the
law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights.
11.
