Gabriel Services and its affiliates recognize the importance
of protecting the privacy of all information provided by
users of our web sites, subscribers to our services,
recipients of our e-mail newsletters and all other customers
of our products and services. We created this policy with a
fundamental respect for our customers’ right to privacy and
to guide our relationships with our customers. This Privacy
Statement discloses the privacy practices for all products
and services owned by Gabriel Services.
Information Collection and Use
Gabriel Services collects information from our website
users, subscribers and other customers. In this section of
our Privacy Statement, we describe the type of information
we collect and how we use it to provide better services to
our customers.
Registration and Ordering
When using some of our websites and signing up for certain
selected services (such as email subscriptions, ordering
products, listing items for sale or free, etc. ), users may
be asked to first register. During registration, users are
required to give their contact information (such as name,
e-mail address, mailing address and phone number). For
internal purposes, we use this information to communicate
with users and provide requested services, and, for our
website visitors, to provide a more personalized experience
on our sites. We also may collect demographic information
(such as job title and purchasing responsibilities, company
information and professional certification). We use
aggregate demographic information about our audience to
improve our service, for marketing purpose. Many of our
products and services are free to subscribers who meet
certain demographic criteria. For our services that require
payment (such as certain events, products and
subscriptions), we also collect credit card information
(such as account name, number and expiration date), which is
used for our or our agent's billing purposes only, and is
not otherwise shared.
E-mail Newsletters
If users wish to subscribe to our e-mail newsletters, we ask
for contact information (such as name, e-mail address and,
occasionally, demographic information). We use this
information in the same manner as we use contact information
in the registration and ordering process described above.
Recipients of our newsletters can unsubscribe using the
instructions listed at the end of the e-mail newsletter.
Surveys and Contests
From time to time we invite web site users and other
customers to provide information via surveys or contests.
Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the website user or other customer therefore
has a choice whether to disclose requested contact
information (such as name and mailing address) and
demographic information (such as zip code or job title). In
addition to the other uses set forth in this policy, contact
information collected in connection with surveys and
contests is used to notify the winners and award prizes and
to monitor or improve the use of, and satisfaction with the
website or other Gabriel Services product or service.
Subject to the given customer’s preferences (as described in
the "Permission" section below), such information also may
be shared with third party sponsors of such surveys or
contests.
Interactive Features
At some of our sites, we may offer interactive and community
features such as discussion boards, bulletin boards and user
profiles. Note that all personal information sent or posted
via such features becomes public information for which we
are not responsible.
Tell-A-Friend
If customers elect to use our referral service for informing
a friend about our sites and services, we may ask them for
the friend's name, job title and e-mail address. Gabriel
Services will store and use this information to send the
friend an invitation. This information may also be used to
provide information about our company and related products
and services. The friend may contact us as specified in the
tell-a-friend message to request that no further
communications be sent.
Communications with Us
We have features where our customers can submit information
to us (such as feedback forms). Where such submissions
include requests for service, support or information, we may
forward them to our agents, as needed, to best respond to
the specific request. In addition, we may retain e-mails and
other information sent to us for our internal administrative
purposes, and to help us to serve customers better. Please
note that letters to the editor, testimonials and similar
submissions may be made public.
Communications from Us: Service Updates, Special Offers
To best serve our customers, we may send updates that
contain important information about our products and
services. For example, we may send new members a welcoming
message, and verify password and username for our
password-protected content. We may also communicate with a
customer to provide requested services and for
account-related issues via e-mail, phone or regular mail. In
addition to such service and product-essential messages, we
offer our customers the option to receive information about
our company, related products, services and special deals.
Users, however, can choose not to receive these
communications from us, as set forth in the "Permission"
section below.
Automatic Data Collection
Our web sites, newsletters and, from time to time, certain
other products and services may have features that
automatically collect information from customers, to deliver
content specific to customers’ interests and to honor their
preferences. This information assists us in creating
products and services that will serve the needs of our
customers.
For example, we may use "cookies," a piece of data stored on
the user's hard drive containing information about the user.
Cookies benefit the user by requiring login only once,
thereby saving time while on our web site. If users reject
the cookies, they may be limited in the use of some areas of
our web site. Additionally, we may note some of the pages
the user visits on our web sites and via our email
newsletters through the use of pixel tags (also called clear
gifs) and web beacons. The use of cookies, pixels and web
beacons enable us to track and target the interests of our
users to enhance the experience on our sites and via our
email newsletters. In addition, some of our business
affiliates use cookies on our web sites and in our email
newsletters, in ads or promotions. However, we have no
access to or control over these business affiliates'
cookies; we urge users to read their privacy policies for
information. We also use an email delivery and marketing
company to send emails (including newsletters) for which you
have registered (or otherwise agreed to receive). Web
beacons and cookies may be used in such email messages to
help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and how
customers use our web sites and other products and services.
For our internal purposes, we may gather date, time, browser
type, navigation history and IP address of all visitors to
our web sites. This information does not contain anything
that can identify users personally. We use this information
for our internal security audit log, trend analysis and
system administration, and to gather broad demographic
information about our user base for aggregate use. We may
combine demographic information supplied by a customer at
registration with web site usage data to provide general
profiles, in aggregate non-personally identifiable form,
about our customers and their preferences in the content of
the site and advertising.
With Whom Your Information is Shared
We do not share your personal information with any
person or company outside the Gabriel Services family of
services.
Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads
on this site. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to
serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and
other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of
the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content
network privacy policy
California Privacy Rights
Currently, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits
those customers that are California residents to request
that Gabriel Services not share your personal information
with third parties for their direct marketing use. To make
such a request, please write us at:

Security
We use reasonable precautions to protect our customers'
personal information and to store it securely. Sensitive
information that is transmitted to us online (such as credit
card number) is encrypted and is transmitted to us securely.
In addition, access to all of our customers' information,
not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is
restricted. Only employees who need the information to
perform a specific job (for example, a billing clerk or a
customer service representative) are granted access to
personally identifiable information, or ad operations and
circulation managers. Finally, the servers on which we store
personally identifiable information are kept in a secure
environment.
Returns Policy
Due to the custom manufacture of items ordered, we cannot
accept returns. Defective or damaged merchandise will be
replaced if noted on the bill of lading at the time of
delivery.
Links
Our web sites contain links to other sites. Gabriel Services
is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of
such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when
they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of
each web site to which we may link that may collect
personally identifiable information.
Notification and Changes
If we change our Privacy Statement, we will post those
changes on this page so our users are aware of what
information we collect, how we use it and under which
circumstances, if any, we disclose it. Users should check
this policy frequently to keep abreast of any changes.
