COLLECTED INFORMATION AND USAGE
IFC collects and uses information you provide to us or that we learn from your use
of this web site. We are not in the business of selling information about you. IFC
does not share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing
purposes. We may share your personal information where it is necessary for us to
complete a transaction or do something that you have asked us to do. Whenever we
may need to share your personal information, we try to provide you with the information
you need to make informed reasonable choices.
IFC collects and uses personal information from you in several ways:
- Web Site Usage. IFC, or IFC authorized service providers, may observe
your activities, preferences, and transactional data (such as your IP address and
browser type) relating to your use of this web site. While we may collect or log
this information, we generally do not identify you or match this information with
your other personal information. We may use this collected or logged information
to diagnose web site technical problems, or to facilitate your use of the site.
IFC, or one of our authorized service providers, also may use this information to
track aggregate traffic patterns throughout this web site. We do not set any “cookies”
through our website.
- Online Transactions. If we offer you the opportunity to purchase
products online and you choose to purchase such products or if we offer you the
opportunity to track your product inventory with IFC, you may be asked to share
personal information in order to complete a transaction. When you purchase a product
online or track your inventory with IFC online you may be asked for information
needed to complete your order, contact you to confirm the order, operate our online
inventory service and provide related customer service. This information is used,
for example, to effect your transactions, to create and share aggregate reports
about these transactions, and to perform credit fraud screening services for transactions
between you and IFC and/or our authorized service providers.
- Children. Children under 13 should not send any information about
themselves to IFC. If a child under 13 submits information through any part of the
IFC web site, and we learn the person submitting the information is a child, we
will attempt to delete this information as soon as possible. Because we do not knowingly
collect any personal information from children under 13, we do not use or disclose
such information to third parties.
- Non-Public Areas. We will ask you to provide personal information
through a registration form before providing you access to restricted areas of the
web site such as an area where you can check your remaining inventory with IFC.
Regardless of any other provision of this Privacy Policy, we will permanently store
any personal information provided by you via such registration form.

If and whenever you want to modify how we use your personal information or, if you
prefer that we deactivate your personal information so that it is not readily accessible
or usable, we will do our best to accommodate you. Please send us an email at
privacy@intfiling.com.
USE OF COLLECTED INFORMATION
- IFC Service Suppliers. IFC may work with some authorized service
providers to provide shipping, credit card processing, product fulfillment or other
services. Where practical, IFC shall require these service providers to safeguard
personal information you provide to us. To the extent it is necessary for these
service providers to complete their contractual obligations to IFC, these third
parties may have access to or process your personal information. IFC generally limits
their use of your personal information to the purpose for which it was shared. IFC
may sometimes permit our authorized service providers to have access to aggregate
statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related site information.
- Mergers, Acquisitions and Bankruptcy. If IFC should ever file for
bankruptcy or merge with another company, or if IFC should decide to buy, sell or
reorganize some part or all of its business, IFC may be required to disclose your
personal information to prospective or actual purchasers or receive personal information
from sellers. It is IFC’s practice to seek appropriate protection for information
disclosed or received in these types of transactions.
- As Required by Law and Other Extraordinary Disclosures. IFC may
be required to disclose your personal information if it: (i) believes it is reasonably
necessary to comply with legal process (such as a court order, subpoena, search
warrant, etc.) or other legal requirements of any governmental authority; (ii) would
potentially mitigate our liability in an actual or potential lawsuit; (iii) is otherwise
necessary to protect our rights or property; or (iv) is necessary protect the interest
of other users of our web site.
