At Brownells we won't sell, trade, or
share your personal information with anybody; it's as simple as
that. If you are interested in reading about the specifics of our
policy, they are explained below.
Thanks.

Brownell
Brownells Privacy Policy as of January 1, 2003.
This policy is subject to change in accordance with the terms
set forth in this policy.
1. Brownells Privacy Pledge To
You
At Brownells, we
pride ourselves on satisfying you in every way we can. That is why
close attention is paid to the way we handle your personal
information. When you provide us your name, e-mail, phone
number,
address, credit card number, or bank account number, you can be
assured it
will not be shared with anyone that doesn't need it to process
your
order. We do reserve the right to permit official use of your
information in the result of a subpoena or a legitimate legal issue.
2. The
Information We Collect and How We Collect
It
This section is broken
down into four areas of our website. - A
Non-Registered Visitor
When you use our website
without signing in (visiting anonymously), we do not collect any
personally identifiable information about you. Our web server does
automatically log the visit information of IP addresses including,
but not limited to length of visit, domain, subnet, pages visited,
and number of clicks through.
- Registered (Member) Areas of the Site
For a
visitor to use the registered or member areas of our
site, they must provide personally identifiable information so our
online staff can communicate with them regarding online orders.
This information includes,
but is not limited to, your name, phone number, e-mail address,
home address, and shipping address.
- Survey & Service Improvement Area of the
Site
Some visitors enjoy helping us improve our
website by participating in activities that include, but are not
limited to, surveys and online focus groups. These activities may
require additional forms of tracking so we can adequately manage
and collect the information that is generated. In certain
circumstances, we reserve the right to share such information with
marketing agencies, including, but not limited to, our advertising
agency and our web-marketing consultants, for their expertise. To
participate in these activities, visitors must meet these two
qualifications: 1. They must be a registered member; and 2. Agree
to the rules and qualifications set forth by each specific activity.
- E-Mail
Your e-mail address is used to
correspond with you regarding the following things: 1. Answers to
questions from our sales, customer, and technical support staff. 2.
Promotional/marketing messages that you may have opted-in to
receive. You can view and change your personal information (e.g.
"I no longer wish to receive e-mail promotions in my e-mail box
from Brownells") and preferences at any time by logging into the
site and accessing the My Account tab.
3. Cookies; Which Ones We Set
& How They Benefit You
Brownells sets single-session cookies, which are
necessary to operate features such as, but not limited to, user
login, online ordering, stored shopping carts, and credit card
information access. Without the use of cookies we wouldn't be
able to offer you these timesaving, value-enhancing features. We
also set a persistent cookie that stores your login id if you have
selected the Remember Me option during the sign-in process.
4. We Do Not Share Your
Information
We do not
share your information with anyone outside Brownells unless it is
a request that is in the interest of the law or certified government
agencies (e.g. subpoena or legal reasons). We share your
information internally at Brownells for the sole purpose of
processing your order.
5. Here's How We Ensure Your Highest
Security
We always
protect your information from the outside by not sharing it unless
we are required to do so by law. We have streamlined our
order-taking process, thereby reducing the number of internal
people who see your information.
6. Former Customers
We do not share information
about our former customers with anyone (except in response to
subpoenas or for other legitimate legal reasons).
7. Changes
In This Policy
If our
privacy policy changes, and it effects the way your personally
identifiable information is collected, stored, transmitted or
disclosed to any third parties, we will provide advance notice of
the change using the following methods:
- Notification of the change will be posted on our web site
for a minimum of thirty days before the change takes
effect.
- An email will be sent to the address associated with your user
account at least thirty days in
advance to notify you of a policy change.
- You will always have the opportunity to opt-out of
any changes to the policy.
If you have questions, comments, or want your user account
deleted, please e-mail us at CustomerService@br
ownells.com or call 800-741-0015.
Thank you,
Brownells - Selection. Service. Satisfaction.
