Privacy Statement
This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for
http://www.totalsolutionsonline.com.
Information Collection and Use
Total Solutions is the sole owner of the information collected
on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information
to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this
statement. Total Solutions collects information from our users
at several different points on our website.
Registration for Sales and Referral Inquiries
In order to use some portions of this website, a user must
first complete the registration form. During registration
a user is required to give their contact information (such
as name and email address). This information is used to contact
the user about the services on our site for which they have
expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide
demographic information (such as income level and gender),
and unique identifiers (such as social security number), but
encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience
on our site.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the users hard
drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie
is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information
while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the
cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie
on our site, the user would not have to log in a password
more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If
a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The
only drawback to this is that the user may be limited in some
areas of our site. For example, the user may not be able to
participate in any of our Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly
Drawings that take place. Cookies can also enable us to track
and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience
on our site.
Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site
(for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to
or control over these cookies.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site,
track users movement, and gather broad demographic information
for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally
identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our
partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal
information that can identify any individual person.
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit
card processing company to bill users for goods and services.
These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally
identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
We partner with another party to provide specific services.
When the user signs up for these services, we will share names,
or other contact information that is necessary for the third
party to provide these services.
These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable
information except for the purpose of providing these services.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware
that we Total Solutions are not responsible for the privacy
practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be
aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements
of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by this Web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for
contact information such as name and email address.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users
via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or
contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has
a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and
shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip
code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify
the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used
for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction
of this site.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users
information. When users submit sensitive information via the
website, your information is protected both online and off-line.
All of our users information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is 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. Every quarter, 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 customers information is protected.
If you have any questions about the security at our website,
you can send an email to info@tswebhosting.com.
Supplementation of Information
In order for this website to properly fulfill its obligation
to our customers, it is necessary for us to supplement the
information we receive with information from 3rd party sources.
For example, to determine if our customers qualify for credit, we may use their name and social security
number to request a credit report. Once we determine a users
credit-worthiness, this document is destroyed.
Special Offers
We may send all new members a welcoming email. Established members 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 communications. Please
see our choice and opt-out below.
Site and Service Updates
We may also send the user site and service announcement updates.
Members are not able to un-subscribe from service announcements,
which contain important information about the service. We
communicate with the user to provide requested services and
in regards to issues relating to their account via email or
phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If a users personally identifiable information changes
(such as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our
service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update
or remove that users personal data provided to us. This
can usually be done by emailing
our Customer Support.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to opt-out
of having their information used for purposes not directly
related to our site at the point where we ask for the information.
Users of our site are always notified when their information
is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our
users can make an informed choice as to whether they should
proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on our homepage so our users are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances,
if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated
at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way
of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not
we use their information in this different manner. We will
use information in accordance with the privacy policy under
which the information was collected.
