Cookies & Logs

When you view the Website, we may store some information on your computer’s hard drive. This information will be in the form of a “Cookie.” “Cookies” are information files which your web browser places on your computer when you visit a web site. iS® uses cookies and session IDs to authenticate a user as he or she navigates various parts of the Website. Cookies and session IDs may also be used to automate data entry functions. For example, cookies may be used to enable users to move through the Website without having to retype the user’s password. iS® does not obtain personal information via cookies or session IDs, and does not link any data collected through cookies or session IDs to any personal information. Most web browsers automatically accept Cookies and session IDs, but you can change your browser to prevent that. Without accepting a Cookie or session ID, your use of the Website may be affected.

When you view the Website, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.

For California users: Please note, the Website is not presently configured to respond to DNT or “do not track” signals from web browsers or mobile devices.

Disclosure of User Information to Third Parties

In addition to the use of information described above, iS® reserve the right to disclose information provided by users (including Personal Information) as follows:

Disclosure By Law. You acknowledge and agree that we may disclose information you provide if required to do so by law, at the request of a third party, or if we, in our sole discretion, believe that disclosure is reasonable to (1) comply with the law, requests or orders from law enforcement, or any legal process (whether or not such disclosure is required by applicable law); (2) protect or defend iS®’s, or a third party’s, rights or property; or (3) protect someone’s health or safety, such as when harm or violence against any person (including you) is threatened.

Disclosure to Third Party Service Providers. We may share your information with third party service providers to perform functions on our behalf. For example, distributors of iS®’s products and services in your particular locale, outsourced customer care agents or technology assistants may need access to your information to provide goods and services for you. Your information will be treated as private and confidential by such service providers and not used for any other purpose than we authorize.

Data/Information Transfer As a Result of Sale of Business. In the event that iS® is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, iS® reserves the right to sell or transfer user information (including Personal Information) as part of any such transaction. To the maximum extent allowable by law, the Privacy Policy will apply to the user information as transferred to the successor entity. However, user information submitted after a transfer to a successor entity may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by the successor entity.

Website Security

When you place orders on the Website, your order information, including your card number and delivery address, is transmitted through the Internet using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL technology causes your browser to encrypt your order information before transmitting it to our secure server. SSL technology, an industry standard, is designed to prevent someone other than operators of our Sites from capturing and viewing your Personal Information. Since any order information you provide to us on the Website will be transmitted using a secure connection, if your Web browser cannot support this level of security, you will not be able to order products through our Sites. The most recent versions of popular internet browsers supporting SSL technology may be downloaded for free from developers of such programs – including Microsoft Internet Explorer® and Google Chrome®.

Please note that data that is transported over an open network, such as the Internet or e-mail, may be accessible to anybody. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted via such open networks. When disclosing any personal information via an open network, you should remain mindful of the fact that it is potentially accessible to others, and consequently, can be collected and used by others without your consent. In particular, while individual data packets are often encrypted, the names of the sender and recipient are not. A third party may therefore be able to trace an existing bank account or relationship or one that is subsequently created. Even if both the sender and recipient are located in the same country data may also be transmitted via such networks to other countries regularly and without controls, including to countries that do not afford the same level of data protection as your country of domicile.

Password-protected areas of the Website can be accessed only with a valid user name and password. Each password owner is responsible for keeping the password confidential and safe, as iS® has no control or responsibility for this type of user information. If the password may have been stolen or might otherwise be misused, it is the responsibility of the password owner to notify iS® immediately for further action.

Your data may be lost during transmission or may be accessed by unauthorized parties. We do not accept any liability for direct or indirect losses as regards the security of your Personal Information or data during its transfer via Internet. Please use other means of communication if you think this is necessary or prudent for security reasons.

International Users

The Website is exclusively hosted in the United States. If you are a user accessing the Website from the European Union, Australia, Asia, or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure, that differ from United States laws, please note that you are transferring your personal data to the United States which does not have the same data protection laws as such other regions. User information (including Personal Information or “personal data” as defined by foreign laws) collected through the Website may be stored and processed in the United States, and by using the Website, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your home country.
