FoxPoints Inc. Privacy & Security Policy

At Fox Points Inc., we value the trust of our customers. To earn your trust, we respect your privacy in handling personally-identifiable information relating to you and your transactions with us, whether through our Fox Points Inc mail-order catalog business operated in the United States, or on one of our many Internet Web sites and stores operated in the United States. This Privacy Statement describes the personally identifiable information we gather about you, what we do with it, the safeguards we have in place to protect it, and how you can control our use of it.

What sites are covered by this Privacy Statement?

This Privacy Statement applies to all Fox Points Inc.-owned Web sites and domains ("FederalOfficeXpress.com & www.FOXsupplies.com").

What personally identifiable information does Fox Points Inc request?

We collect personally identifiable information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the site, complete an application, request a catalog, place an order, enroll in a promotional or rewards program, give us a telephone call or send us a letter or e-mail. This personally identifiable information may include your name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, last 4 digits of credit card number, expiration date, and other optional demographic information.

In addition, we may need to collect other personally identifiable information, such as your age and/or social security number when you elect to participate in various promotional activities we offer. This is done only to verify that you are of an age legally required to participate and enables us to provide necessary documentation with regard to possible tax liability surrounding a promotion award. After submitting this information, we do not process this information for our own use and we do not share it with any third parties.

You may browse our web site without supplying any personally identifiable information, but we will need to collect personally identifiable information to process your orders or to send you offers or information that you request.

What about web site "cookies"?

While our Web site(s) and stores do not currently make use of "cookies", we reserve the right to use this technology in future updates. In the event that we choose to implement this technology, in order to use our web site(s), your computer must accept the use of cookies, which are small data files that are stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies do not contain personally-identifying information and do not give us control over your computer. Some of our business allies whose sites are accessible from our site may also use cookies, but we have no access to or control over these cookies. The information that we store in cookies is used to track your activity at our web site and to access your individualized settings (such as your online shopping cart) to make your visit more convenient and to make it unnecessary for you to re-enter this information when you make return visits to our site.

How does Fox Points Inc use personally identifiable information about me?

The personally identifiable information that you voluntarily provide to us will be used to process your orders, and may be used to identify you within our systems. We may use your email address or phone number to contact you if we have questions about your order. We may also use your email address, fax number, phone number or address to notify you about new services or special promotional programs, or send you offers or information. It is our strict policy to NOT sell, rent or share our customer information with any 3rd party, for any reason except those listed in this privacy statement. For more information about our mailing lists and promotional program subscription option, see the section regarding special programs and our Opt-In/Out options.

With whom might Fox Points Inc share personally identifiable information about me?

We will not disclose personally-identifiable information about you to others except as disclosed in this Privacy Statement or as specifically authorized by you at the time the information is collected.

We may contract with third parties to provide specific products or services to you. For example, we use a credit card company to process credit card applications, issue credit, verify, bill, and collect payments when you make a purchase with a credit card; an outside shipping company to ship orders; outside direct mail and catalog vendors to provide customers with product and sale information; and we use outside service providers to operate our web site and to send e-mails to customers and prospective customers. These service providers are provided with only the information that they need to perform their functions and are not permitted to use or disclose your personally-identifiable information for other purposes without your authorization.

We may share your personally identifiable information within the Fox Points Inc family of businesses – including our mail-order catalog, and online operations – in order to send you information and to cater to your shopping preferences.

We may enter into marketing relationships with other companies that provide services or information that we believe may be of interest to Fox Points Inc customers. We may share non-identifiable aggregated information with these companies. We will not disclose your e-mail address, telephone number, or credit card account information for these purposes.

To make online shopping more convenient for you, our Web site(s) may provide access to other companies’ web sites or co-branded web sites that may be designed to look similar to our web site; these sites are fully operated by the other company. If you request additional information or order products or services from one of the companies featured on our web site, that company may provide us with the information you have given to them (except in the case of credit application information, financial background or health information, which we do not receive from such partner companies). We are not responsible for the content appearing on these companies’ web sites or for the privacy practices of these companies. We encourage you to read the privacy policy on the other company’s Web site if you have any concerns about how information may be collected or used. If you make a purchase or request a service from a partner company that you access through a frame on our web site, information relating to that transaction will be available to us as well as the featured company.

We may share personally identifiable information with law enforcement or other entities as required by law or as we reasonably determine to be necessary to protect our rights or the rights of others, to prevent harm to persons or property, to fight fraud, or to enforce our web site terms of use. Personally identifiable information may be transferred as an asset in connection with a merger or sale (including any transfers made as part of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding) involving all or part of our businesses.

Does Fox Points Inc conduct special programs that use personally identifiable information?

We occasionally conduct surveys, contests, or other promotional programs that involve the collection of personally-identifiable information, and we may send promotional emails to such participants from time to time. Participation in these programs is completely voluntary, so that you have a choice whether to disclose the requested information without limiting your ability to place orders for products and services. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as gender, zip code, or age). Contact information will be used to notify participants of the outcome of such promotions. Survey information may be used or disclosed for purposes of monitoring or improving the performance of our catalog or Web site operations.

We generally do not market to or collect information through our Web site from children under age 13. If we conduct a special online program that is open to children, children under age 13 will be permitted to participate only with the consent of a parent or guardian or will otherwise be given the opportunity to participate without the need to provide personally identifying information.

How can I limit the use and sharing of personally identifiable information about me?

You may decline to receive promotional e-mail from us. Every promotional e-mail we send contains instructions and an Internet link to opt out of future e-mail promotions. You may also opt out of promotional e-mails by sending an e-mail request to customercare@foxsupplies.com or by calling us toll-free at 1-888-828-7258.

You may ask us to refrain from providing personally identifiable information about you for marketing purposes to other companies with which we have marketing relationships and you may request to be removed from our catalog and mailing lists, all by calling us toll-free at 1-888-828-7258, by writing to us at Fox Points Inc, Marketing Services, 752 Aloha Street, Seattle, WA 98109, or by faxing to us at 1-888-828-7278 or 206-682-9558.
