Privacy Policy
We have organized our web sites so that you
will not be required to identify yourself or reveal any personal information
in order to view our web sites. At times, we may ask you to provide
information about yourself or your company in order for us to better serve
you. If you choose to provide this personally identifiable information, we
will use it in accordance with this Privacy Notice. We provide this Privacy
Notice to answer some of the questions you may have about the types of
information we may collect from our web site and what we may do with that
information. By entering this web site, you are consenting to the terms of
this Privacy Notice. This Privacy Notice only applies to data collected on
the eagleone.com web site. Eagle One Industries is an operating unit of The
Valvoline Company and a division of Ashland Inc. ("Ashland"). Other
individual web sites of Ashland may have privacy notices tailored
specifically for activity on those web sites and the terms of those privacy
notices may differ from this Privacy Notice.
Changes to
this Privacy Notice
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Notice at any time without
notice to you. The most current version of the Privacy Notice can be
reviewed by clicking on the "Privacy Notice" hypertext link located at the
bottom of the web pages on this web site. Your use of this web site may also
be subject to additional terms outlined in the
Terms of Use and elsewhere on
this web site.
What
information do we collect?
We understand that you expect to learn about our company when you visit this
web site. Similarly, we hope to learn about your needs as a current or
potential customer or shareholder through your visits to this web site. On
some of our web pages you may be able to ask questions and register to
receive information. On these pages, we will ask you for the personal
information necessary for us to respond to you, such as your name and
contact information. You may decide against participating in data collection
by not sending us information that you consider private.
We request information from you on our order
forms for Eagle One merchandise. Here a user must provide contact
information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like
credit card number and expiration date). This information is used for
billing purposes and to fill customers' orders. If we have trouble
processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with
the user. Contact information may also be used for marketing and promotional
purposes and is subject to the opt-in/out processes described on or linked
to each form.
From time to time our site requests
information from users via contests. Participation in these contests is
completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to
disclose this information. Information requested may include contact
information (such as name and shipping address) and demographic information
(such as ZIP Code and age level). Contact information will be used to notify
the winners and award prizes. Contact information may also be used for
marketing and promotional purposes and is subject to the opt-in/out
processes described on or linked to each form.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to
information about the user to help our web site "remember" information about
you when you return to our web site, such as your preferences for our web
site and user passwords. We use both session ID cookies and persistent
cookies to help you use our services more easily and to help us keep track
of certain information so that we can continuously improve our web site and
our service to you. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser,
the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file
stored on the user's hard drive for an extended period of time. Our cookies
cannot read data off of your hard drive, cannot read cookie files created by
other web sites and cannot track any personal information about you that you
do not choose to provide to Eagle One. You may be able to set your browser
to erase a cookie, reject a cookie or notify you when you receive a cookie.
If you erase or reject a cookie, you may still use this web site.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet
protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks
to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the
aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
What do we do
with this information?
On occasion, Eagle One Industries will provide opt-in opportunities to our
users in order to receive product updates, promotional opportunities, and
other information from Eagle One Industries or other parties. At the point
of signing up, it is clearly disclosed to users of our site when their
information is being used or collected by any outside parties. We do this so
our users can make an informed choice as to whether they should proceed with
services that involve an outside party or not.
Users who no longer wish to receive our
e-mails or promotional materials may opt-out of receiving these
communications by clicking here on the
"unsubscribe" link and editing their preferences.
We store information that we collect through
cookies, log files, clear gifs, and/or third parties to create a profile of
our users. A profile is stored information that we keep on individual users
that details their viewing preferences. Consequently, collected information
is tied to the users personally identifiable information to provide offers
and improve the content of the site for the user. This profile is used to
tailor a user's visit to our Web site, and to direct pertinent marketing
promotions to them. Your profile is shared in aggregate form only.
Will
information be sold to third parties?
We will not, without your permission, sell the information that you give to
us to third parties. We may, however, allow third parties access to the
information you give us in order to provide you the products or services you
request (such as shipping companies or credit card processing companies).
These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable
information for any secondary purposes.
What is "Share
This Page/Tell a Friend"?
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about
pages of our site or promotions, we ask them for the friend's name and
e-mail address. Eagle One will automatically send the friend a one-time
e-mail, personalized on behalf of the referring friend, inviting them to
visit the site. Eagle One stores this information for the sole purpose of
sending this one-time e-mail.
What security
measures are in place to protect my information?
This web site takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When
users submit sensitive information via the web site, their information is
protected both online and off-line. When our order forms asks users to enter
sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security
number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the standard
encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as
our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of web browsers such as Netscape
Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to
un-locked, or open, when you are just "surfing." While we use SSL encryption
to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power
to protect user information off-line. All of our users' information, not
just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our
offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job
(for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are
granted access to personally identifiable information.
Hyperlinks
We may provide you with hyperlinks to other web sites. Please be aware that
we cannot guarantee or vouch for the data collection practices of such other
web sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements for
those linked web sites.
Privacy of
Children
This web site is not designed for, or directed to, children under the age of
13 and will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from
individuals in this age group. We encourage parents to take an active role
in their children's online activities and to talk with their children about
disclosing personally identifiable information to web sites.
