Information Collection and Use
Information Collection from Saber Hacer Web Sites.
Saber Hacer is the owner of the information collected on www.saberhacer.com, and all other web sites owned by Saber Hacer or any one of its affiliates (collectively, "Saber Hacer Web Sites"). Saber Hacer collects information from our users at several different points on our Saber Hacer Web Sites, including our landing pages.
Information collected by third party advertising companies
Our advertising may be served by third party advertising companies which may deliver a cookie to you so the ads you see can be tracked and ensures that you are not shown the same ad too many times. Saber Hacer does not provide these third party advertising companies with any personally identifiable information such as your name, address, email address or telephone number. However, these companies may use non-personally identifiable information about your visits to Saber Hacer and other sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party advertisers may use cookies, web beacons, clear GIF(s), pixel tags web bugs, action tags, or similar technologies to help present such advertisements, and to help measure and research the advertisements' effectiveness. Our third-party advertisers may also use cookies, web beacons, clear GIF(s), pixel tags, web bugs, action tags or similar tracking technologies on our website without the serving of any advertisements If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, see below.
Ordering
When you order Saber Hacer products in any authorized manner, you must provide contact information (such as name, e-mail, and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number and expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customers' orders. If we have trouble processing your order, the information is used to contact you. We may present offers to purchase products from our marketing partners on the Saber Hacer Web Sites. If you also purchase goods or services from a marketing partner in connection with an offer posted on the Saber Hacer Web Sites or via other authorized vendors, you authorize us to share your financial information (including your credit card information) with the marketing partner.
Information Use
When filling an order, Saber Hacer uses your personal information to process and review order(s) for our products. Once you have submitted an order for one of our products, we use your information internally to process your order(s), and to personalize Saber Hacer mailings based on your interests. Saber Hacer usually does this through the periodic mailings sent to your postal address (typically along with your product order) or to your e-mail address alerting you of special offers, newsletters, and commercial offerings that may be of interest. In order to provide services that better meet your needs, we also may supplement the information that you provide to us with other information that we receive from third parties.
Registration
In the event Saber Hacer requires you to register on-line in order to use certain areas of the Saber Hacer Web Sites, a user must first complete a registration form. During registration a user is required to give contact information such as name, zip code, and e-mail address. We use this information to contact the user about services on the Saber Hacer Web Sites that we believe may be of interest. In other areas of the Saber Hacer Web Sites, such as when registering for the affiliate program, users must provide additional information, which can include full address, a user name, password, web site information, and, in some cases, a social security number or tax identification number so that we can comply with federal laws. Participation in these areas of the Saber Hacer Web Sites is completely optional.
Saber Hacer Web Sites Profile
We store information that we collect through cookies, log files, clear gifs, and/or third parties to create a profile of our Saber Hacer Web Sites users. A profile is stored information that we keep on individual users that details their viewing preferences. Consequently, collected information is tied to the users' personally identifiable information to provide offers and improve the content of the Saber Hacer Web Sites for the user. This profile is used to tailor users' visits to the Saber Hacer Web Sites, and to direct pertinent marketing promotions to them. We may share your profile with other third parties, mostly in aggregate, but occasionally your profile is shared together with your personally identifiable information.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the Saber Hacer Web Sites user's computer, which is tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates.
A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user's hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions at (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q278835 for Internet Explorer and http://help.netscape.com/kb/consumer/19971020-3.html) for Netscape.
By setting cookies on the Saber Hacer Web Sites, users would not have to log in with a password more than once, thereby saving time while on the Saber Hacer Web Sites. If users reject the cookies, they may still use the Saber Hacer Web Sites. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of the Saber Hacer Web Sites. For example, the user may not be able to retrieve account information or use some of our community features. Persistent cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on the Saber Hacer Web Site. See the "Profile" section.
Some of our business partners may use cookies on the Saber Hacer Web Sites. However, we have no access to or control over these cookies once we have given permission for them to set cookies.
Log Files
Like most standard site servers, we use log files. This includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser types, Internet service providers (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform types, date/time stamps, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the Saber Hacer Web Sites, track users' movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses can be tied to personally identifiable information to enable our web-based service.
Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
We or our third-party partner companies employ a software technology called clear gifs, aka Web Beacons/Web Bugs, that help us better manage content on the Saber Hacer Web Sites by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. Clear gifs are invisible on the page and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Clear gifs can be tied to users' personally identifiable information. Clear Gifs can "work with" existing cookies on a computer if they are both from the same web site or advertising company. That means, for example, that if a person visited "www.companyX.com", which uses an advertising company's clear gif, the site or advertising company would match the clear gif's identifier and the advertising company's cookie ID number to show the past online behavior for that computer. This collected information would then be given to the advertising company or site. To learn more about our use of clear gifs, please contact us via e-mail, phone, or postal mail at the addresses above. In addition, we, or our e-mail deployment partner, may use clear gifs in our HTML-based e-mails to let us know which e-mails the recipients have opened. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt out of these e-mails, please see the Choice/Opt-Out section. This privacy statement covers use of clear gifs by this site only and does not cover use of clear gifs by our partner companies or their third party advertisers. For information about third-party partner companies' use of clear gifs, please visit their sites directly and review their online privacy statements.
Communication from Saber Hacer
- Special Offers and Updates
In the event Saber Hacer requires you to register on-line in order to use certain areas of the Saber Hacer Web Sites, we will send all new online users a welcoming e-mail to verify password and user name. Established users will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we present the option to not receive these types of communication. Please see the Choice/Opt-out section below. - Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name, zip code, and e-mail address. Out of respect for our users' privacy, we provide a way to opt out of these communications. Please see the Choice/Opt-out section below. - Service Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service-related announcement. For instance, if our online service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we may send users e-mail. Generally, users may not opt out of these communications, though they can deactivate their account. However, these communications are not promotional in nature. - Customer Service
We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account, we reply via e-mail or phone, in accordance with the users' wishes.
Sharing
- Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law or we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on Saber Hacer LLC or any of our affiliated companies. We will also release specific information in special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of the security of the Saber Hacer Web Sites, or a physical or property threat to you or others. - Third Party Intermediaries
We may use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies may or may not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. - Service Providers
We partner with other third parties to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these particular services, we share name or other contact information, such as address and/or phone number that is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These third parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services. - Business Transitions
In the event Saber Hacer goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users' personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. Users will be notified via e-mail and a prominent notice on our site for 30 days prior to a change of ownership or control of their personal information. - Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to opt out of having their information used for purposes not directly related to the Saber Hacer Web Sites. Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications may opt out of receiving these communications by sending us an email at remove@saberhacer.com or via fax at (310) 491-9625 . After you submit your opt out request, we will remove your e-mail address from our database within ten days. Please note, however, that under certain circumstances, if you "opt-out," you may not be eligible for certain benefits for which a name, e-mail address, telephone number or other personal identification information is needed.
Links
The Saber Hacer Web Sites may contain links to other sites and we will, on occasion, create relationships or associations with third party companies, where we host their content, or vice versa. Please be aware that Saber Hacer or any of its affiliated companies are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave the Saber Hacer Web Sites and to read the privacy statements of each and every site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by the Saber Hacer Web Sites.
Surveys, Sweepstakes & Contests
From time-to-time the Saber Hacer Web Sites offer users the opportunity to participate in surveys or contests. We may request information from users via surveys or contests but participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information such as name and shipping address and demographic information (such as zip code). Contact information will be used and shared with the contest or survey sponsors to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of the Saber Hacer Web Sites. Users' personally identifiable information may be shared with third parties but only in accordance with our privacy policy.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about the Saber Hacer Web Sites, we ask him or her for the friend's name and e-mail address. Saber Hacer will automatically send the friend an e-mail inviting them to visit the Saber Hacer Web Sites. Saber Hacer stores this information for the purpose of sending e-mails and tracking the success of our referral program. The friend may contact Saber Hacer at remove@saberhacer.com to request the removal of this information from our database.
Security
When users submit sensitive information via telephone or via the Saber Hacer Web Sites, their information is protected both online and off-line. When our online registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted using SSL. All information entered into our order forms will be encrypted when you submit the information page. To learn more about SSL, follow this link: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/S/SSL.html.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, all of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is also restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Periodically, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy and what they can do to ensure our users' information is protected. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure, locked facility.
Supplementation of Information
We sometimes supplement the information we receive with information from third-party sources.
Enhancement of Marketing Profile
We may purchase third-party marketing data and add it to our existing user database to better target our advertising and provide pertinent offers we think our users would be interested in. We use this information to enhance or overlay the "profile" of individual users. This aggregate marketing data is therefore tied to the users' personally identifiable information.
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating
Personal Information
If a registered customer's contact information changes (such as zip code, phone number, e-mail, or postal address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate his or her personally identifiable information. This can usually be done by e-mailing our Customer Support at customersupport@saberhacer.com or by postal mail at the contact information listed below.
