system variables

We may record your system variables, such as your IP address, host name, browser type, operating system, etc., to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. This information may be used to help identify you and your shopping cart, track referrals, prevent or report incidents of credit card fraud, or for other purposes deemed reasonable and necessary.

cookies

Our sites use cookies to save you time by not having to re-enter information and to store items in your shopping basket between visits. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information.

registration and order forms

Site registration and/or order forms may require customers to give us contact information (like their name and email address) and financial information (like their account or credit card numbers). We use customer contact information from the registration form to send information about our company and to fulfill delivery of ordered products and services. The customer contact information is also used to contact the customer when necessary. Financial information that is collected is used to check the customer's qualifications for registration and to bill the customer for products and services. Unique identifiers (such as social security numbers) are collected to verify the user identity and for use as account numbers in our record system.

Potentially sensitive information (e.g., credit card numbers) is collected through secure server connections.

Non sensitive information may be e-mailed to Alta representatives or agents. This e-mail is generally not encrypted. As such, there is a remote possibility that the information could be intercepted by third parties. Visitors always have the option to provide this information in an alternative format.
