Sicaria may use cookies and web beacons to enhance your visits to our website. Cookies are pieces of data assigned by a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive that uniquely identify the browser on your PC. Cookies do not store personal information about you, unless you knowingly provide it. Cookies can store non-personal information, such as what websites, pages, or advertisements your browser has accessed. Cookies enable our systems to gather information about your navigational patterns through the site. We may use cookies to store information and personalize your experience with our website. For example, cookies allow our website to recognize your browser as a previous visitor, and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while you were previously browsing our website. Our cookies can also store your password, personalize pages, and keep track of selections.

A web beacon allows us to capture certain additional types of information about a visitor's actions on a web site, such as a visitor's cookie number, the time, date, duration and number of page views, a description of the page where the Web beacon is placed, and details about any items that were purchased. We may use web beacons to collect non-personal information about your use of our website and the websites of selected sponsors and advertisers, and your use of special promotions or newsletters.

We do not link non-personal information from web beacons to personal information without your permission.

Personal Information

While you are not required to submit any information to our Site, if you do not provide the requested information, you may not be able to access or use some of the features and functions of our Site and we may not be able to provide you with certain services. Although you do not have to provide us with any information to visit our website, you may not be able to fully utilize all of the services on our website if you choose not to provide certain information. Sicaria uses your personal information to complete transactions, respond to your requests, deliver the products and services you request, and notify you of promotions, updates, or special offers that we think may interest you. If you are already receiving Sicaria.com emails and no longer wish to receive such communications, simply follow the "unsubscribe" instructions that appear in every email. If you do choose to give us personal information through our website, we will collect and retain that information.

Non-Personal Information

When you use our website, we may also collect "non-personal information." We consider "non-personal information" to be information that, by itself, cannot be used to identify or contact you personally, such as demographic information (your age, gender, income, education, profession, etc.). Non-personal information may also include technical information, such as your IP address, the type of browser you are using, the websites you visit immediately before and immediately after you visit our website, and other anonymous data involving your use of our website. Non-personal information may also include information that you provide us through your use of our website, such as the terms you enter into the search functions of our website. We reserve the right to use or disclose non-personal information in any way we see fit. We use aggregated non-personal information about our users to understand our website's demographics, such as the percentage of male and female users, the geographic distribution of our users, the age ranges of our users, a combination of these or other demographics. We may also use the personal or non-personal information we collect to analyze how our website is being used, and to improve the content of our website, and marketing and promotional efforts.

Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to secure the confidentiality and security of your personal information, prevent unauthorized access, and maintain data accuracy. However, there is always some risk in transmitting information electronically. The personal information we collect is stored within databases that we control. To guard your information, our website uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL encrypts your credit card number, name and address so only Sicaria is able to decode your information. Please note that e-mail is not encrypted and is not considered to be a secure means of transmitting credit card information.

Third-Party Disclosure

Sicaria may share information with carefully selected vendors and business partners with whom we work (Collectively, "Site Affiliates"). This includes companies that perform marketing services and other business operations for us (including providing goods and services to our users, as necessary to complete transactions you request). All companies that act on our behalf are contractually obligated to keep all information confidential and to use the customer information only to provide the services we ask them to perform for you and us. On a limited basis, we may also disclose your personal information to certain Site Affiliates for their use in contacting you, when we reasonably believe their products or services are complementary to your interests or Sicaria's business. We restrict access to personal information to Sicaria.com employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services.

Third Party Advertisers

We use third-party advertising companies to deliver specific advertisements to you, which appear on pages throughout our website. These companies collect non-personal information about your visits to our website and other websites in order to provide advertisements about products and services that may be of interest to you. These companies may also aggregate your non-personal information for use in targeted advertising, marketing research, and other similar purposes. These companies may place their own cookies on your computer. If you want to prevent a third-party advertiser from collecting and using this information, you may visit each third party advertiser's website directly and opt-out.

Collecting Information from Children

Sicaria will never knowingly request, collect, or distribute personal information from any person under 13 years of age without prior verifiable parental consent. Users of our Site are required to be at least 18 years old, and any user under 18 is not an authorized user. If you are under 18, you may use our website only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. If we become aware that an individual is under the age of 13 and has submitted any information to Sicaria for any purpose without prior verifiable parental consent, we will delete his or her information from our files.

Policy Changes

This policy replaces all previous disclosures we may have provided you about our information practices. We reserve the right to change this policy, and to apply any changes to information previously collected, as permitted by law. If there are material changes to this policy or our information practices change in the future, we will notify you by posting the policy changes on our website for 30 days.
