Internet Privacy Policy
It is Electronics Supply Company’s policy to
respect and protect the privacy of our customers and the users of www.eskc.com.
Through this Internet Privacy Statement, we want to reassure users of
www.eskc.com that we will not sell, share, or rent user information to others
in a manner different than as set forth in this Internet Privacy Statement.
Placing Orders and Information Collection
Electronics Supply Co. collects information from the users of www.eskc.com only
at the time an order is placed on our site.
In order to fulfill the requests from www.eskc.com users when placing an order, the
user may be requested to provide contact and/or credit card information. If we
have trouble processing an order, a request, or completing a delivery, this
contact information will be used by Electronics Supply Co. to contact the user.
Gathering and Sharing of Information, Links to External Websites
We use a credit card processing company to bill purchasers of goods and
services from www.eskc.com. Depending upon the goods and services being
ordered and where they are being shipped, we may also use outside suppliers
and/or delivery companies to assist us in fulfilling and delivering orders. We
share with them the information necessary to enable such card processing,
fulfillment, and delivery of goods (i.e. – name, address, and as appropriate,
payment information).
We
may provide personal identifying and account information in special cases such
as enforcement of our Terms of Site Use, or as required by law or legal process
to protect and defend the rights and safety of our Site and its users. This
includes exchanging information with other companies for purposes of fraud and
credit risk reduction.
Our Site also contains links to external Internet sites, which may be operated
by an external party. They may have privacy practices that differ from those
here at www.eskc.com. When you click on links that take you to such external
sites, you will be subject to their privacy policies. We encourage you to
become familiar with that party's privacy policies as these may differ from
those utilized on our Site. Please note that this privacy statement applies
solely to information collected by Electronics Supply Co. on our Site and,
while we strongly support the protection of privacy on the Internet, we cannot
be responsible for the privacy practices of other Websites, uses of the
information collected by other Websites, or the content of those other
Websites.

this Internet Privacy Statement and www.eskc.com Terms of Use INCLUDING ALL
LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES PROVISIONS which are an integral part hereof. The
user consents to the collection and use of this information by Electronics
Supply Co. as disclosed in this Internet Privacy Statement. We may revise this
Internet Privacy Statement or www.eskc.com Terms of Use at any time by updating
these postings. By using this Site you agree to be bound by any such revisions
in effect at the time of use and should therefore periodically visit this page

Security Information
Strong precautions are taken to protect the information of the users of our
Site. When users submit sensitive information via www.eskc.com, that
Information is protected both online and off-line.
We take credit card information security seriously and use a variety of
technical solutions to make shopping safe at our Site. Furthermore, your
information is encrypted and is protected utilizing the industry standard
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption software. While on a secure page, such as
our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape
Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to
un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also
protect user- information off-line. All of the information of our Site's users,
including the sensitive information mentioned above, is maintained in a
restricted section in our offices. Only those of our employees who need the
information to perform a specific job (for example, our account or customer
service representatives) are granted access to personally identifiable
information. Furthermore, our employees are kept up-to-date on our security and
privacy practices.
If you have any questions about the security at our Site, you can send an e-mail
to orders@eskc.com.
Cookies
You may have heard of the term "cookies." Cookies are routinely used by
most, if not all, E-commerce merchants, including Electronics Supply Co. A
cookie is a piece of data stored on a user's hard drive through the Web
browser program containing information about the user which enables us to
track and personalize the Site to enhance your experience. For instance, by
setting a cookie on our Site, we can provide you with storage of items in
your shopping cart between visits. However, if a user rejects the cookie,
they may still use our Site although we will be unable to provide our users
with the personalized shopping experience we can offer using the cookie
data. Electronics Supply Co. stores only your customer information and not
payment information. If you have any questions about our use of cookies,
please contact us at orders@eskc.com.
Special Offers, Account Updates and Opting Out
Electronics Supply Co. occasionally sends our customers and the users of
www.eskc.com announcements and updates, which contain important information
about www.eskc.com and service offerings which we believe to be of value to our
customers and users. In order to do this, we may enhance or merge the
information we collect on www.eskc.com with data from third parties for
purposes of marketing products or services to our customers and users.
We may communicate with the users of www.eskc.com via e-mail, telephone, mail,
or fax in order to provide requested services, content, product information,
notification of special offers, or in regard to customer service issues
relating to an account. The users of www.eskc.com are always given the
opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their online information used for purposes
not directly related to www.eskc.com at the point at which we ask for the
information or when they receive an online requested promotional communication.
