Getex also does not otherwise share personally identifiable information (such as your e-mail address, other contact information, or information regarding your purchases), except as necessary to facilitate payment processing or other service fulfillment operations through third-party partners. In this event, only the minimum information required will be communicated to such third-party providers.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website sends to your web browser. The next time your browser requests information from the website, it sends the information in the cookie back to that website.

How Are Cookies Used?

Cookies are frequently used to keep track of how many times a user visits a site and to enhance a visitor's experience. For instance, some websites use cookies to recognize you when you return and customize your visit.

Does Getex Use Cookies?

Yes, Getex uses cookies to recognize you upon return so that we may restore certain features, such as the retailers you select as your favorites. We also use cookies to allow you to shop and receive credit without having to log in each time you visit Getex. This is provided as a convenience for our members.


When you logoff from Getex, you have the option of deleting this cookie so that you won't be recognized upon your next visit. Our featured retailers use cookies to track visits to Getex and to track purchases made by Getex visitors, thereby ensuring that Getex is properly credited. This then allows us to credit our members and it is why cookies should be enabled when using Getex. Cookies that are set by affiliated retailers when you visit Getex are known as "third-party cookies", since they are not set directly by the site you are visiting (Getex). Cookies that are set by a retailer can only be seen by that retailer. So, for instance, a retailer cannot see another retailer's cookies, nor can a retailer see the cookies that Getex sets.

Are Cookies Safe?

There are many misconceptions about cookies. Cookies cannot "steal" your personally identifiable information, and they cannot contain any personal information that you did not submit to the website that set the cookie. Also, one website cannot read another website's cookies. As a result, personal information that you enter at one website cannot be seen by another website.

Featured Retailers' Privacy Policies

When you shop through Getex, you are redirected to the websites of our featured retailers, where privacy policies may differ from those of Getex. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of our featured retailers, and we encourage you to understand the privacy policies of any websites to which you submit your personal information.

Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our Web site, you can contact us at sales@getex.com

CHANGES TO PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy is subject to revision by Getex, and if we deem any of the revisions to be material changes, we will notify you in advance by sending you an e-mail to the last e-mail address you provided to us and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on our Site. These changes will be effective immediately for new users of our Site or Services. Please note that at all times you are responsible for updating your Personal Data to provide us with your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address that you have provided us is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you the notice described above, our dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice of the changes described in the notice. In any event, changes to this Privacy Policy may affect our use of Personal Data that you provided us prior to our notification to you of the changes. If you do not wish to permit changes in our use of your Personal Data, you must notify us prior to the effective date of the changes that you wish to deactivate your account with us. This Privacy Policy is updated frequently and you should check the Site regularly for any new notices of changes. Continued use of our Site or Services following any changes, regardless of whether a notification of such change was sent to you directly, shall indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes.
