Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on Draperinc.com or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, however you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for purposes such as responding to your requests, customizing future orders for you, improving our business and communicating with you.

In addition, we may also use standard software to collect non-identifying information about Registered Dealers and other visitors to our web site, such as:

• IP address (a numeric address given to servers connected to the Internet);
• Web browser used;

Automatic Information.
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses Draperinc.com. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at Draperinc.com if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.

E-mail Communications.
To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Draperinc.com if your computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list to lists received from other companies in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers. When you send e-mails to us, you are communicating with us electronically. You consent to receive communications from us electronically. We will communicate with you by e-mail or by posting notices on Draperinc.com. All agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your account, password, and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

Does Draper share the information it receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, but we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described herein and with subsidiaries Draper controls that either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.

Agents: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. These agents have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but they may not use it for other purposes.

Promotional Offers: Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of Registered Dealers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your information. We do not give your information to other companies for their direct marketing use.

Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy companies, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Draper or all of its assets are acquired, customer information will be one of the transferred assets.

Protection of Draper and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Policies and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Draper, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.

In addition to actions and disclosures specifically authorized by statute or authorized elsewhere in this Web Site Use Agreement, Draper shall have the right (except where prohibited by law notwithstanding your consent), but not the obligation, to monitor content on Draperinc.com and to disclose any information to protect their respective rights, property and/or operations, and where circumstances suggest that individual or public safety is in peril. You hereby consent to, and expressly waive such rights as you may have under any laws or otherwise to limit or prohibit such actions or disclosures.

With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information. Draper reserves the right to resolve system problems using means including, but not limited to, examining accounting logs and other records, accessing an account's mailbox and any other means necessary to ensure proper functioning of the system. Draper does not guarantee the security of any data on the system including data transmitted using secure servers. Draper assumes no liability for the loss of private or confidential material. Draper customers should be aware that no computer system/network is completely safe from system failures or intrusions by unauthorized parties, and therefore no sensitive material should be passed through the network.
