Personal information
In general, you can visit Std-Success on the Internet without telling us who you are and without giving any personal information about yourself. There are times, however, when we may need information from you.
You may choose to give us personal information in a variety of situations. For example, you may want to give us information, such as your name and address or e-mail id, to correspond with you, to process an order, or to provide you with a subscription, or to submit an inquiry form. You may give us your description of your education and work experience in connection with a job opening at Std-Success that you wish to be considered for. We intend to let you know how we will use such information before we collect it from you; if you tell us that you do not want us to use this information to make further contact with you beyond fulfilling your requests, we will respect your wishes. If you give us personal information about somebody else, such as a spouse or work colleague, we will assume that you have his or her permission to do so.
Using and Sharing Personal Information
The following paragraphs describe in more detail how Std-Success may use your personal information and with whom we may share it. Depending on the type of Std-Success Web site you are visiting, one or more of the paragraphs may apply. For example, if you order a product from an Std-Success Web site, your information will be handled as described in such paragraphs as fulfilling Your Transaction Request and Marketing Use.
Marketing Use
The information you provide to Std-Success on certain Std-Success Web sites may also be used by Std-Success and selected third parties for marketing purposes.
Std-Success Human Resources Web Page (including Careers)
In connection with a job application or inquiry, whether advertised on an Std-Success Web site or otherwise, you may provide us with information about yourself, such as a resume or curriculum vitae. We may use this information throughout Std-Success and its related entities for the purpose of employment consideration or your inquiry. Except where you tell us not to, we will keep the information for future consideration within 6 months.
Information Security and Quality
We intend to protect your personal information and to maintain its quality. We implement appropriate measures and processes, say using encryption when transmitting certain sensitive information, to help us to keep your information secure and to maintain its quality.
Supplementing Information
From time to time we may supplement information you give us via an Std-Success Web site with information from other sources, such as information validating your address or other available information about businesses. This is to help us maintain the accuracy of the information we collect and to help us provide a better service.
Cookies and Other Technologies
What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a tiny piece of text asking permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. If you agree, then your browser adds the text in a small file.
If you have set your browser to notify you before accepting a cookie, you will notice that std-success.com requests a cookie to be set on your computer. Its purpose is to let us know when you visit our site. This cookie, by itself, only tells us that a previous std-success.com visitor has returned. It doesn't tell us your e-mail address or who you are. If you want to give us that information later via registration, that's your choice.
Why is Cookies Persistent?
If the web server does not detect a Unique ID for your session, it will generate one and send it to the client in the form of a cookie. So, if you accept the cookie, you only get it once. If you do not accept the cookie, it will try to send you one with every hit until you accept it. This means every page and item on that page you request from std-success.com will come with a cookie request unless you already have one.
Are All Cookies The Same?
No. On the std-success.com site we have two kinds; temporary and log cookies. Temporary cookies are necessary to maintain the user session and tell our server which page to pull up next. The traffic log cookie tells us what pages are being used and which ones aren't. This helps us make improvements to the site to better meet your needs and cut down on pages that don't get used.
So What Does A Cookie Do For Me, The Visitor?
There are several immediate advantages on std-success.com that you can see through the use of cookies. For example, the std-success.com support area retains your service tag number between visits. When you return, you'll notice that the service tag number for your computer is already typed in.
When you are browsing in the store, you can add items to your shopping cart and return several days later to pick up where you left off, with the items still in the cart.
Also, special offers from ad banners and special access areas of the site will soon be easier to use with the cookie technology. Overall, cookies help us give you a better Web site to use, by letting us monitor what's working and what isn't through site traffic analysis. In the future, a cookie may allow you to tell us what information you prefer to read and what you don't. For example, if you're a business customer, we can advise you on content specific to your needs.
Why Do I Need to Know This?
Because we want you to know why we ask you to accept a cookie. We want to be sure you understand that accepting a cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any personal information about you. We know that a lot of people have concerns about cookies, but in talking with many of our users, we feel that the benefit we both gain from their proper use is worthwhile. We value the relationships we have with our customers and future customers, so we respect these concerns.

If there are updates to the terms of Std-Success's Online Privacy Statement, we will post those changes and update the revision date in this document, so you will always know what information we collect online, how we use it, and what choices you have. For material changes to this Statement, Std-Success will provide notification to affected customers.
