point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

III.The Way We Use Information:
Purpose of Use of Your Information
We use the information you provide about yourself
when placing an order only to complete that transaction. In the
course of completing these transactions, some of your personal information
may be shared to perform functions on our behalf, such as package
deliveries and credit card processing. Also we may release personal
information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with
law, or to protect the rights of Ocean Electronics, our users, or
others. This includes exchanging information with other companies
and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Standing Accounts
The information we require to fulfill your order or
complete a transaction is used exclusively for that purpose. Additionally,
however, our customers may choose to register for a standing account
so that their personal identifiable information may be quickly retrieved
when they revisit oceanelectronics.com. Opening an account is not
required to complete a transaction with us. Providing personal information
as part of an account registration is purely optional. Information
provided as part of an account registration is password protected
to limit access only to the registered user. Further, password and
user information is encrypted and electronically secured.
Purpose of Use of Gift Information
We use the information you provide about yourself
when placing an order only to complete that transaction, including
shipping the product and confirming delivery. As with your personal
information, we do not share this information with outside parties
except to the extent necessary to complete these transactions.
Purpose of Use of Return Email Addresses
We use return email addresses to answer the email
we receive. These addresses are not used for any other purpose and
are not shared with outside parties.
Aggregate Information
We use non-identifying and aggregate information to
better design our website and to share with advertisers. For example,
we may tell an advertiser that a certain number of individuals visited
a certain area on our website, but we would not disclose anything
that could be used to identify those individuals.
Sale & Sharing of Personally Identifiable Information
We are not in the business of selling information
about you to others. We do not participate in bulk e-mail solicitations
(spam). Ocean Electronics does not use or share the personally identifiable
information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the purposes
described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out
or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
IV. Our Commitment To Data Security
In General
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy,
and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place
appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard
and secure the information we collect online. All pages where personally
identifiable information is collected are protected with 128bit
SSL encryption technology. Any information provided as part of an
account registration is also encrypted and electronically secured.
Duration of Retention & Destruction of Information
We may retain personal information as appropriate
to comply with law, or to protect the rights of Ocean Electronics,
our users, or others. Personal information recorded in hardcopy
(e.g. invoice, receipt, purchase order, or credit card authorization)
may be retained for up to three years from the date of purchase.
V. Our Commitment To Children's
Privacy:
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially
important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information
at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no
part of our website is structured to attract children under 13 years
of age.
VI. How You Can Access Or Correct
Your Information
You can access all your personally identifiable information
that we collect online and maintain by either logging into your
standing account (if established) or by contacting Ocean Electronics
Customer Service via email, phone, or postal mail. You can correct
factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending
us a request that credibly shows error. Personally identifiable
information will be released only upon reasonable verification that
the requestor is the subject of the information sought or is authorized
by law to examine the information provided for a third party. To
protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps to verify
your identity before granting access or making corrections.
VII. How To Contact Us

these privacy policies, please call us at (732) 281-2628 or send
