Privacy

Marine Super Store is committed to respecting the privacy rights of our customers and all visitors to our web site. We take this matter very seriously, and have instituted many policies and procedures to ensure that none of your privacy rights are ever violated. The following outlines Marine Super Store’s privacy policy and details the measures we have taken to safeguard and protect your privacy, while providing you with a unique and rewarding online shopping experience.

What information does Marine Super Store collect?

Marine Super Store only collects and stores your personal information when you create an account on our web site or when you sign up to be notified of special deals or promotions on our site. An account is created when you do one of two things: make a purchase on Marine Super Store, or register for an account on Marine Super Store. When creating an account, we ask you for your first and last name, your e-mail address, and an automatically generated password will be sent to you (this can be changed at any time in the accounts section). If you are making a purchase, we will additionally ask you for your billing address, delivery address, and credit card information.

At Marine Super Store, our system may also gather information about the areas you visit on our site. We do not use any of this navigational data about where you — as an individual user — go on the site. Nor would we share any of this data with any outside company other than perhaps consultants or service providers of Marine Super Store who were assisting Marine Super Store in serving you better – of course, to the extent that we would ever share any of that information with a consultant or service provider, we would only do so if that party agreed to protect your private information by adopting a privacy policy at least as stringent as our own. We do use navigational information in the aggregate to understand how our visitors as a group use Marine Super Store so that we can make our site better. We do not and are unable to keep track of where you go on the World Wide Web.

At Marine Super Store, we also review what kinds of products appeal most to our customers as a group. This statistical information helps us improve our offerings in the same way that other companies change their catalogue based on what sells best. We may also use information about the kinds of products you buy from Marine Super Store to make other marketing offers to you, if you have opted in to receive our emails. Except as provided above, as required by law, or in the event of a merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of Marine Super Store’s assets, we will not sell or otherwise share any of your purchase information with any third party without your permission.

What does Marine Super Store do with this personal information?

Your information is used to process your orders and personalise your shopping experience on our site. By storing your personal information, Marine Super Store is able to shorten your checkout process. We may also use information about the kinds of products you buy from Marine Super Store to make other marketing offers to you, if you have opted in to receive our emails.

Does Marine Super Store share any information it collects with outside parties?

We consider the information you choose to share with us personal and confidential. We may use information about the kinds of products you buy from Marine Super Store to make other marketing offers to you if you have opted in to receive our emails. We may share this information with consultants or service providers to help Marine Super Store serve you better. Of course, to the extent that we would ever share any of that information with a consultant or service provider, we would only do so if that party agreed to protect your private information by adopting a privacy policy at least as stringent as our own. Except as provided above, as required by law, or in the event of a merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of Marine Super Store’s assets, we will not sell or otherwise share any of your purchase information with any third party without your permission.
