PRIVACY POLICY

We at Rodriguez Guitars know that you care about how your personal information is used and shared. Our goals are to inspire the confidence of the users of our Web site. This privacy policy discloses how we collect, use and share information gathered about you on our Web site. We hope that this disclosure will help increase your confidence in our sites and enhance your experience on the Internet.

INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM YOU WITH TECHNOLOGY

The Rodriguez Guitars website collects some information about you using technology, so it may not be obvious to you that it is being collected. That information may include your IP address, your domain server, your type of computer, your type of web browser, and statistical information regarding the pages that you visit. As is the case with many sites, the Rodriguez Guitars website logs your IP address and uses standard technology called “cookies”, which are small data files that are downloaded onto your computer when you visit the Site. Cookies automatically identify your browser to the Rodriguez Guitars server whenever you interact with the Site. We use cookies and the information they provide to improve our services and the quality of your experience with the Site. If you prefer not to allow us to collect “cookie” information, you can disable the cookies by turning them off in your browser, although some areas of the Site may not function properly if you do. We do not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information. This means that your session will be tracked, but you will not be personally identified. Rodriguez Guitars sites use information collected through technology to make our site more interesting and useful to you. For example, statistical information can help us track which areas of a site are more popular, so that we can better customize content to the interests of our visitors. We will combine information collected using technology with personally identifiable information only to identify a visitor in order to protect our service, site, Guests or others, when required by law, or when needed to help resolve a technical issue a Guest may be having while viewing the site.

We only send this type of cookie to your browser when you have provided your consent for us to save your profile information.

If you communicate with us, we may retain this correspondence to improve our products, services, and the Site, and for other disclosed purposes. We may use information you provide to us in order to send you updates, such as notifications of changes to the terms of our services or important information about our services and products.

DOES RODRIGUEZ GUITARS SHARE INFORMATION WITH COMPANIES OR OTHER ORGANIZATIONS NOT A PART OF RODRIGUEZ GUITARS?

You are one of the most valuable assets of our business. We aren’t in the business of selling information about our Guests. However, if there is a value for our Guests, we will share your information or send you messages on behalf of another company as described below. We will also share information for security reasons.

Companies That Are “Standing in the Shoes” of Rodriguez Guitars

Sometimes we hire companies to help us deliver products or services, like a shipping company that delivers a package. In those instances, we need to share your information with them. These companies are basically “standing in the shoes” of Rodriguez Guitars, and they are allowed to use the information only to deliver the product or service upon approval of Rodriguez Guitars only.

Companies Offering Promotions, Products, or Services

On occasion, we offer promotions–like sweepstakes or free subscriptions–in conjunction with a sponsor. We will share your information with the sponsors if they need it to send you a product, such as a magazine subscription or contest prize. We may share your information with those sponsors so that they can send you other special promotions they offer, but only if you give us your permission to do so, and we will share it only with that specific sponsor. In addition, Rodriguez Guitars occasionally sends e-mail promotions out to our customers on behalf of third-party sponsors. In this instance, we don’t share your name with the third party–we do the mailing for them. Again, we only send these promotions to you if you’ve given your permission by signing up for our e-mail list.

Content Partners

Sometimes we may provide a link to content that is created by a third-party Web site. In some instances the third-party sites will collect information in order to facilitate the transaction or to make the use of their content more productive and efficient. In these circumstances the information collected may be shared between Rodriguez Guitars and our third-party sponsors. Third-party sponsors may also have their own privacy policies posted on their Web sites.

Links to Other Outside Web Sites

Our Web site may contain links to outside Web sites with which we do not have affiliation, partnership or other cooperative agreement. Rodriguez Guitars does not share your personal information with those Web sites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those companies.

Purchase or Sale of Businesses

Online business is still in a very early stage and is changing and evolving rapidly. As Rodriguez Guitars continually looks for ways to improve our business, we may buy or sell a company. If we buy or sell a business, the names collected will likely be transferred as a part of the sale. Information about registrants will be used in the aggregate. However, if we buy a business, we will honor the requests that customers made of that business regarding e-mail communications. In the event that we sell a business, we will do everything in our power to ensure that the e-mail communications requests you made of us are honored.

Organizations That Help Protect the Security and Safety of Our Guests and Our Sites

Rodriguez Guitars will disclose information about individual users to governmental or judicial authorities or law enforcement agencies, or to other individuals or entities in response to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process. Further, Rodriguez Guitars may share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities or suspected fraud, or to enforce or apply the terms and conditions of our agreement.

YOUR RIGHTS

Access and Correction

You have a right to know about the personal information that the Rodriguez Guitars website holds about you. You also have a right to correct, amend or delete such information if it is incorrect. If you wish to exercise these rights, please contact us by post or e-mail at the address shown in the “Contact” section below.

Opt Out

From time to time, we may notify you of special promotions, changes to our Site, new product lines or new service offerings, or products that we think may be of special interest to you. If you decide you no longer want to be notified of this information, you can change your choice to NO on the “MyAccount” page.

SECURITY

The Site incorporates appropriate safeguards to protect the security, integrity, completeness, accuracy and privacy of the personal information we have collected, and we have put in place reasonable precautions to protect information from loss, misuse and alteration. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as required and only authorized individuals have access to the information you provide us. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

You hereby acknowledge that neither Rodriguez Guitars nor Guitar Center is responsible for any intercepted information sent via the Internet, and you hereby release us from any and all claims arising out of or related to the use of intercepted information in any unauthorized manner.

EXTERNAL LINKS

The Site provides links to various Web sites maintained by third parties. When you click on one of these links, you will be transferred out of our Web site and connected to the Web site of the organization or company that maintains such site. Even if an affiliation exists between our Web site and a third party Web site, we exercise no control over linked sites. Each of these linked sites maintains its own independent privacy and data collection policies and procedures. If you visit a Web site that is linked to the Site, you should consult that site’s privacy policy before providing any personal information.

 

TERMS AND MODIFICATIONS TO PRIVACY STATEMENT

By using the Site, you signify your agreement to the terms of our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, you should not use the Site. Rodriguez Guitars may modify this privacy statement at any time. If a material change is made to this Privacy Policy and/or the way we use our users’ personally identifiable information, then we will post prominent notice of the nature of such change on the first page of this Privacy Policy and also on our home page. You are responsible for reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically to ensure that you are aware of any changes to it. Your continued use of the Site indicates your assent to any changes to this Privacy Policy.

CHILDREN

The Site is not directed to children, and Rodriguez Guitars does not knowingly solicit information from any child under the age of 13. Should a child whom we know to be under 13 send personal information to us, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child (or a parent or guardian) to inform him or her that we must have parental consent before receiving his or her personal information.

WHAT CHOICES DO I HAVE ABOUT RODRIGUEZ GUITARS COLLECTING, USING, AND SHARING MY INFORMATION?

It is possible for you to use much of our site without giving us any personally identifiable information. Also, as mentioned above, there are ways to limit the information collected through technology–though some of our features won’t work if you decide to do this. For the safety of minors, we request that children under the age of 18 not fill out any personal information on our Web sites without first receiving the approval of a parent or guardian.

WHOM DO I CONTACT WITH QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PRIVACY POLICY?

If you need further assistance, please send an e-mail message with your questions or comments.

WILL YOU MAKE CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY?

Our business changes constantly. This privacy policy may also change as we see the need for updates. Use of the information that we gather now is subject to the privacy policy in effect at time of use. We reserve the right, at any time and without notice, to add to, change, update or modify this privacy policy simply by posting such change, update or modification on the Web site. Any such change, update or modification will be effective immediately upon posting on the Web site. You should check our Web site frequently to see the most recent version of this privacy policy.
