Shar-Ka-Tana encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from Shar-Ka-Tana so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. Shar-Ka-Tana is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Shar-Ka-Tana and Shar-Ka-Tana family of Web sites.

Use of your Personal Information

Shar-Ka-Tana collects and uses your personal information to operate the Shar-Ka-Tana Web site and deliver the services you have requested.

Shar-Ka-Tana may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

Shar-Ka-Tana does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Shar-Ka-Tana may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Shar-Ka-Tana may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries.

Shar-Ka-Tana keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within Shar-Ka-Tana, in order to determine what Shar-Ka-Tana services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within Shar-Ka-Tana to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Shar-Ka-Tana Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Shar-Ka-Tana or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Shar-Ka-Tana; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Shar-Ka-Tana, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The Shar-Ka-Tana Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Shar-Ka-Tana pages, or register with Shar-Ka-Tana site or services, a cookie helps Shar-Ka-Tana to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Shar-Ka-Tana Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Shar-Ka-Tana features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Shar-Ka-Tana services or Web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

Shar-Ka-Tana secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Shar-Ka-Tana secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

Shar-Ka-Tana will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. Shar-Ka-Tana encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Shar-Ka-Tana is protecting your information.
