Privacy
This privacy policy applies to the use of candlepowertech.com.
Here at CandlePower Technology we want to make your online experience enjoyable and safe. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we want you to fully understand our policy and the terms and conditions surrounding the use of that information.

Information Collected and Tracked
CandlePower Technology collects two types of information about users:
Optional user-provided information, e.g., voluntary submissions. Voluntary submissions include information submitted to request information, to subscribe to our digital media, to participate in our message boards or forums and from participation in polls, surveys and warranty exchanges.

Additional information is gathered through tracking and aggregation of information derived mainly by tabulating page views throughout our site. This information allows us to better adapt our content to user needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand the demographics of our audience.

Usage Tracking:
CandlePower Technology may collect user traffic usage characteristics throughout its Website. We do not correlate this data with individual user information. CandlePower Technology may analyze usage statistics according to a user’s domain name, browser type and MIME type by reading this information from data contained in the user’s browser.

CandlePower Technology may collect and catalog search terms that users employ in searching our site, but this tracking is not associated with individual users. We may use tracking information to determine the areas of our site most important to users based on the characteristics of usage of those areas. We will not track what any particular individual user views, but rather the performance of each page. This helps us to build a better web-based experience for you.

Log Files & Cookies
This Website utilizes industry standard analytics packages that gather limited information on visitors to our Website automatically and stores this anonymous information in server log files. This information may include IP addresses, browser type, basic IP information, referring pages, operating system used and time/date stamps. This information does not identify individual users; it is used only for website administration, as well as for analysis of website usage and trends.

CandlePower Technology may place a “cookie” in a user’s browser files. Cookies are very small text files that are stored on personal computers for reference purposes. “Cookies” do not contain personal information. Cookies do not read data off a user’s hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. This information enables CandlePower Technology to relate usage of our site to information that has been specifically and knowingly provided.

Cookies may be used to provide easier and faster access to website features such as logins and/or repeat visits. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you have submitted while on our site. In certain instances, CandlePower Technology advertising systems may deliver a one-time cookie to better track ad impressions and click rates.

There are two types of cookies that CandlePower Technology employs — session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session ID cookie expires when your browser is closed. A persistent cookie may stay on a user’s hard drive for an extended period. Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate our site. Persistent cookies can perform such activities as storing your password for forums or blogs so you do not have to sign in every time you visit those areas and/or may be used to enable us to track and target the interests of our users so as to enhance the overall experience of using our site.

Having Cookies placed on your computer may be prevented by turning them off in the user’s browser. For instance, the user’s browser may be set to give a warning before cookies are accepted, at which point a user may reject them. Cookies need not be turned on to use this site. However, cookies may need to be turned on to participate actively in blogs, polling and surveys.

Registration & Use of Personal Information
Registration is not required in order to use or access this website. However, registration is required for warranty validation purposes. Registration information will only be used for internal purposes and will not be provided to any third parties.

If you do fill out a survey, form or testimonial on our site and provide us with personally identifiable information, be assured that any such information provided will not be shared with any third-party organization except with your express consent.

CandlePower Technology may use information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience on our website, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users. We may use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters or to enable users to participate in polls and surveys. We are planning to send out information to subscribers intermittently. CandlePower Technology will never share mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.

CandlePower Technology may create aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns. CandlePower Technology may also track search terms entered in a Search function as one of many measures of what interests our users. CandlePower Technology will not track which terms any particular user enters. Specifically, CandlePower Technology does not track what any particular individual user reads and will not disclose any information about any individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.

We also provide visitors to our website the opportunity to opt-in to receive communications from us. Communications may include digital publications, product promotions and any other information that we feel may be pertinent to the visitor. You may opt out of receiving any, or all, of these communications by emailing us at support@candlpowertech.com, by clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any email we send to you, by replying to any email we send you and entering the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line.

By using this Website, you consent to the collection and use of this information by CandlePower Technology. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we disclose it.

Access to Personally Identifiable Information
If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer wish us to possess your information, you may request correction, updating or deletion of your information by emailing us at support@candlpowertech.com. You also may make your request by phone or postal mail at the address/phone number indicated at the end of this privacy policy.

Security
We follow accepted industry standards to protect any personal information you have provided to us. Please be aware that no method of electronic storage can ever be 100% secure. As is the case with any organization — we are not in a position to guarantee the absolute security of your information.

The security of your personal and financial information is extremely important to us. We insure confidentiality and security in our online shopping experience. For instance, we employ various firewalls and other security tactics to keep your information secure. We do not store your complete credit card information on our internal web server. Once you place your order, the order is sent to our main order processing system using a private system. Once your order is completed it is entirely deleted from our web records. While there is risk inherent in every Internet transaction, be assured that we work hard to ensure that risk is minimal. We take your financial security seriously and have employed measures to ensure that online shopping on our website is safe for all customers.

Credit Card Authorization and Capture
When you place an order with CandlePower Technology we authorize your purchase by verifying that your card has the available funds. Authorizing your card confirms you have the funds available for purchase. Your credit card provider sets aside those funds so you may not spend it on anything else. CandlePower Technology then captures the funds for purchased items when they are pending shipment (when the items are boxed and ready to be picked up by shipping company). If an item is back ordered for 29 days or more, CandlePower Technology will capture $0.05 (5 cents), before the 29 days are up so as to keep the authorization from expiring. If an order is expected to ship later than 90 days and earlier than 120 days, CandlePower Technology will again capture funds before the 90 days are up.

Do not use email to send us your financial information; email is not a secure channel.

Please submit any questions you have about our security procedures by emailing us at: support@candlpowertech.com

Legal Disclaimer
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process served on our website.
