OUR COMMITMENT TO DATA PRIVACY
This Privacy Policy relates solely to the
online information collection and use practices of
the Orchid Web website located at

Policy
may be updated from time to time to reflect our ongoing commitment to data privacy.
Your use of this website indicates to us that you
have read and accept our privacy practices, as
outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you have any
questions or concerns regarding this Privacy
Policy, please contact us.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit our website, you may provide us with
two types of information: (1) personally
identifiable information that you knowingly choose
to disclose, which is collected on an individual
basis, and (2) general user information that does
not contain personally identifiable information,
which is collected on an aggregate basis as you
browse the website. In some cases, if you choose
not to provide us with requested information, you
may not be able to access all of our website's
content or services.
Personally Identifiable Information You Choose to
Provide.
We may ask for certain personal information from you
for the purpose of providing to you content and/or
services that you request. For example, if you
indicate an interest in receiving service
literature, you are asked to submit information such
as your name and e-mail address, which we retain on
file, so that we may send you the information that
you requested. We may retain a record of users
who have contacted us in order to respond properly
to questions or concerns and for purposes of future
communications.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information We Collect.
Cookies and Web server logs: Similar to other
commercial websites, our website utilizes standard
technology called "cookies" and Web server logs to
collect information about how our website is used.
Cookies are a feature of Web browser software that
allows Web servers to recognize repeat visits to a
website and user preferences. Cookies are small
pieces of data that are stored by a user's Web
browser on the user's hard drive. Information
gathered through cookies and Web server logs may
include the date and time of visits, the pages
viewed, time spent at our website, and the websites visited just before and just after our
website. This information is collected on an aggregate
basis.
You can, of course, disable cookies on your computer
by indicating this in the preferences or options
menus in your browser. However, it is possible that
some parts of our website will not operate
correctly if you disable cookies. You should consult
with your browser's provider/manufacturer if you
have any questions regarding disabling cookies.
HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We use your personally identifiable information to
provide you with the information or content that you
have requested, and, in some cases, to contact you
about our programs, products, features or services.
If you no longer wish to receive information from us, you may send
us an email through our "Contact Us" to change your
preferences.
We use non-identifying information collected on our
website in the aggregate to better understand your
use of the website and to enhance your future
experience. For example, we may use the information
to improve the design and content of our website or
to analyze the programs and services that we offer.
We may provide access to your personally
identifiable information when legally required to do
so, to cooperate with police investigations or other
legal proceedings, to protect against misuse or
unauthorized use of our website, to limit our legal
liability and protect our rights, or to protect the
rights and safety of visitors to this website or
the public. In those instances, the information is
provided only for that limited purpose.
We will not share your personally identifiable
information in ways unrelated to those described
above without providing you with an opportunity to
opt out of such use or otherwise prohibit such
unrelated uses.
DATA SECURITY
We take reasonable steps to maintain the security of
the personally identifiable information that we
collect, including limiting the number of people who
have physical access to our database servers.
However, no data transmission over the Internet can
be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly,
we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any
information that you transmit to us.
