As the Web grows, privacy becomes a bigger issue to those who use the Internet.  We at URLMerchant are as concerned about this as you are.  URLMerchant has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy.  The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this site.  We treat our visitors as we wish to be treated, with respect for everyone's privacy.  We strongly recommend you examine the privacy statements of any domain name brokerage firm you choose to do business with.

There may be cookies used on our site.  What is a "cookie?"  A cookie is a technical term for a piece of information that's sent by a Web server (such as urlmerchant.com) to a browser (such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer) and then back again from the browser to the Web server.  This can happen with or without your knowledge, depending on how you have set up your browser.  At no time is any information other than that original "cookie" taken from your computer. 

Again, we take the use of any information from our clients very seriously.  Our site's e-mail form requires users to give us limited contact information (like their e-mail address).  The more information you may choose to submit, the better we can serve you. Ultimately, you choose what you want us to know.

We use customer contact information from the e-mail forms to send the client information and updates as the customer requests.  If the customer requests, the customer's contact information is also used for future contact.  Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the delete/deactivate section below.

Our site uses an online order form for customers to directly communicate with URLMerchant.  While, in the course of contact, we collect visitor's contact information (like their email address) and financial information (like their account or credit card numbers), that information is not automatically added to our database for future mailings; our customers can make that choice!  (Note that unlike many sites, we have that choice automatically set to "NO"- again, the customer must make an active choice for us to archive their information.)  Contact information from the order form is used to send orders to our customers.  Financial information that is collected is used to bill the client for products is held in a password-protected, secure environment offline.

Any information we collect is kept off-line, in a password-protected database.  Only employees of URLMerchant have access to this database.  We have never, nor will we ever sell or share this database to anyone for any purpose.  If you ever request us to remove you from this database, you are removed immediately and completely, and no information is kept. If we make any hard-copy print outs of addresses or other information, we shred the papers when we are done.

We do not e-mail visitors unless they have first submitted an e-mail asking us a question.  Those people are not added to any e-mail list unless they ask to be.  We do not "harvest" e-mail addresses for mailings, either from visits to our sites, or from the web at large.  You have to specifically ask to be added to our mailing list!

We do take our clients privacy very seriously, and we do all we can to protect that privacy.  If you have any other questions about how we handle the information you give us, just drop us a line!

Just browsing our site, it is possible for us to gather some information about your browsing experience.  We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site.  An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web.  Web servers -- the computers that "serve" up Web pages -- automatically identify your computer by its IP address.

When guests request pages from URLMerchant, we log their IP addresses and the time those pages were requested.  It is important to note, that this information may be used to subpoena additional user information from the owners of these IP addresses in the event any sort of litigation erupts.  Never assume that you are completely anonymous and cannot be identified by your IP numbers.  We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable.  This means that a user's session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us.

As a general rule, URLMerchant will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below.  

URLMerchant may also disclose account information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) URLMerchant's rights or property, other URLMerchant users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.  URLMerchant may disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.
