The following Privacy Policy applies only to the RadioShackEgypt.com web site and
information provided by you or otherwise collected online through
RadioShackEgypt.com. For the privacy policies applicable to information collected in
our stores or by other means, see the sign posted in stores titled, "We Value
Our Relationship."
We are concerned about privacy
Your privacy is very important to us. RadioShack respects and protects the
privacy of its visitors. In this document, we explain how we use the information
you supply us. If we update our privacy policy, all revisions will be posted on
this page. We reserve the right to change the privacy policy at any time.
Information collection and use
Two types of information may be collected when you visit our web site,
information that you knowingly provide us (called personally identifiable
information), and information that is obtained from your visit but is not
directly associated with you (called non-personally identifiable information).
Personally identifiable information
Personally identifiable information may include information that you provide to
us by requesting information, when registering for special offers or programs or
when you purchase products online. This may include your name, address
(including billing and shipping addresses), telephone number, e-mail address,
organization, city, state and zip code. We may use this information, to process
and ship orders, to contact you about the status of your order, to contact you
with answers to your questions, or to provide information about new and exciting
products, services, promotions and corporate-related information. We may use
mailings, telephone calls and e-mail to contact you.
You also may create an account through RadioShackEgypt.com at any time by providing
your email address and creating a unique password. An account is not required to
visit our site or to place an order through RadioShackEgypt.com. Creating an account
allows you to save order information, order history, track the status of your
orders and set your ordering preferences. For your privacy and security, we do
not store credit card or Gift Card numbers in your account. You may change saved
account information at anytime. Simply visit the Your Account page, log in with
your email address and password.
For those customers who purchase products from us online, additional personally
identifiable information such as credit card information will be collected. This
information is collected in order to process your order.
For those customers who register for special email offerings, we may use the zip
code you provided to email special offers that apply only to your area.
We are committed to the protection of the privacy of our customers and visitors.
While in the checkout process of our online store, we make use of 128 bit
encryption via digital IDs provided and certified by
VeriSign, Inc. These IDs
enable our commerce site to conduct authenticated, strongly encrypted online
commerce. Customers can submit credit card numbers or other personal information
to our site with the assurance that they are doing business with us (not an
impostor's "spoof" of our site) and that the information which they are sending
to us cannot be intercepted or decrypted by anyone else.
If you wish to receive more personalized information from RadioShack or change
anything about your profile such as your interests or e-mail format, please
click on the links available at the bottom of any of these special offer e-mails
or visit the Your Account page.
Non-personally identifiable information
Non-personally identifiable information is collected without any direct
association with you specifically. In the normal course of using RadioShackEgypt.com,
we may collect information about your habits and usage of our sites.
Our web sites may contain technologies known as action tags, web beacons or 1x1
pixel gifs. These employ a common internet technique used to compile aggregated
statistics about the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, common
navigation paths within the sites, types of browsers and platforms that access
the sites and the average connection speeds used to connect to the sites. This
information is used to enhance the online experience of our customers. These
technologies do not use or collect personally identifiable information, such as
names or address, and do not link online actions to an identifiable person.
An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer when you are using
the Internet. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP
address. RadioShack collects IP addresses for the purposes of system
administration, to report aggregated information and to audit the use of our
site. If we are required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court
order or subpoena, we will provide these IP addresses to the proper authorities.
Information sharing and disclosure
Agents, employees and contractors of RadioShack who have access to personally
identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner
that is consistent with this Privacy Policy and the high standards of the
corporation.
- Information about you specifically will not be used for any purpose other than
to carry out the services you requested from RadioShack and its affiliates. All
of our affiliates have agreed to maintain the security and confidentiality of
the information we provide to them.
- We will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to anyone at
any time.
- We will not use any personal information beyond what is necessary to assist us
in delivering to you the services you have requested.
- We may send personally identifiable information about you to other organizations
when:
|
|
- We have your consent to share the information (you will be provided the
opportunity to opt-out if you desire). For example, if you opt-in for emails we
will share this information with our marketing provider.
- We need to share your information in order to provide the product or service you
have requested. For example, we need to share information with credit card
providers and shippers to bill and ship the product you requested.
- We are required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or
subpoena.

Use of Cookies and Applets
Cookies and applets are small text files that are placed on your computer's hard
drive by our servers to identify your computer. Cookies and applets are only
read by the domain that placed them there and are unable to execute any code or
virus. We may use cookies or applets to recognize you when you visit our sites,
to personalize your experience and generally to serve you better. We do not use
cookies or applets to track your activities once you leave our web site.
You may delete these files from your computer at any time. You can set your web
browser to notify you if such information is about to be placed on your
computer, and you can choose the option in your web browser to refuse it. If you
refuse the information, you may not be able to make full use of the features on
our web site.
Kids under 13 years of age
RadioShackEgypt.com does not seek to collect identification information about kids
under 13 years of age. If we discover such information, we will delete it. Thus,
we typically retain no identifiable information about kids. However, if a parent
believes his/her child has provided us information, simply call and that we
delete it. In order for us to find the information in our databases, you will
need to provide us with the following information which will only be used to
search our databases and deliver confirmation to you:
- Parent's Name
- Address
- Telephone Number
- Email Address (for confirmation)
- The name of the child (if you suspect a nickname was used, please provide it)
- If the child shares time at two addresses, you will need to provide us the
second address also, along with any email addresses for the child.
In order to request deletion of identifiable information that RadioShack may
have unintentionally collected about your child, please mail us.
Please inform the service agent that you wish to delete your child's
information, and supply the service agent with the necessary information as
stated above.
Confirmation that information which identifies your child has been deleted will
be delivered to you by e-mail, regular mail, or telephone.
PLEASE NOTE: Deleting your child's information will likely make it impossible
for us to notify you or your child in the event of a recall of a product he or
she purchased in violation of our policies. So if your child purchased ANYTHING
from us in spite of our efforts to prevent it, you may not wish to delete all
information. Instead, you may simply request that we correct the information by
correcting the name in our records to your name rather than your child's.
In consideration of young users, it is our intention to adhere to the
Better Business Bureau's "Children
Advertising Review Unit" (CARU) guidelines, including its guidelines on
advertising. When you communicate with RadioShack, we make every effort to
ensure your privacy and safety. As an added precaution, however, we still
encourage parents to monitor their child's use of the Internet, and to help us
protect their privacy by reminding them never to exchange personal information
with this or any other web site without the assistance or express written
permission of a parent or other responsible adult.
Links to and from RadioShackEgypt.com
Our web site contains links to and from other web sites that are not operated or
controlled by RadioShack. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRIVACY PRACTICES OF,
AND USE OF CHILDREN'S PERSONAL INFORMATION BY, WEB SITES THAT WE DO NOT OPERATE,
and our privacy policy does not apply to these sites.
"Email a Friend" or "Email your Wish List"
If you elect to use our "Email a Friend" or "Email your Wish List" service for
informing a friend about our site or products you are interested in, we may ask
for your email address, your name, the email address and the name of your
friend. RadioShack will automatically send the friend a one-time email on your
behalf. RadioShack does not store this information. It is only used for the sole
purpose of sending this one time email.
We will not condition access or participation in an activity
RadioShack will not condition a user's access or participation in an activity on
giving out more personal information than what is considered reasonably
necessary for the activity.
Co-branded offers
From time-to-time RadioShackEgypt.com provides some co-branded offers, for example to
apply for a RadioShack Credit Card or to manage your AnswersPlus Account. In
these cases the user is directed to another party's website. The use of data
collected through that website is governed by it's own privacy policies.
Sweepstakes and contests
From time-to-time, we may request information from you through contests or
sweepstakes. Participation in these contests or sweepstakes is completely
voluntary and the user has a choice whether or not to participate. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name, address and phone
number). Contact information gathered from contests and sweepstakes will be used
to notify the winners and award prizes. We use a third party to pick the
contests and sweepstakes winners.
Demographic information such as the users birthdate may be requested, this is
used to validate the age of the contestant when the rules of the contest specify
a minimum age requirement. Users who enter the contest may also choose to
receive marketing communications from RadioShack. The user may elect to
"opt-out" of this communication at the bottom of each email.
How changes to the privacy policy will be communicated
If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes to this
privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our
users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under
what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
If however, we are going to use users' personally identifiable information in a
manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users
by posting a notice on our web site for 30 days.
If users have questions or concerns regarding this statement, they should
contact RadioShack Online Privacy by email
marketing@radioshackme.com. |
