Online Privacy Policy
We know you're concerned about protecting your privacy online. So are we. At Guidance Associates of Pennsylvania, we treat your personal information (especially your credit card number) with the highest standards of safety, security and confidentiality.
Guidance Associates of Pennsylvania will not share your personal information with third parties unless you have consented to the disclosure or the disclosure is necessary to (1) comply with the law or with legal process, (2) protect and defend our rights and property, (3) protect our customers or users from misuse or unauthorized use of the Guidance Associates of Pennsylvania Web site, or (4) protect the personal safety or property of our customers or the public.
We may change our privacy policy from time to time. We will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
By using and/or becoming a registered user on our Web site, you consent to the collection and use of information by us.
The information we collect and how we use it
When you place an order, we ask for your name, phone number, e-mail address, shipping address, billing address, credit card number, and credit card expiration date. We may also ask for your credit card's security code (CVV2). This allows us to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your
order status. You may also choose to provide personal information, such as your name and address, when you contact us or participate in a survey. We may use this information the same way we use your account information and order information.
Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers that serve as that computer's "Internet Protocol" (IP) address. When a visitor requests a page from our Web site, our Web servers automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. This information is used to examine traffic in aggregate, but is not collected or evaluated for individuals. Our Web servers do not record the e-mail addresses of our visitors.
We maintain a strict "No-Spam" policy; Guidance Associates of Pennsylvania does not sell, rent, or give your personal information or e-mail address to others, without your consent. We use the customer information we collect only for the purposes of filling orders, contacting purchasers to inform them of their order status, sending promotional information, enhancing the operation of our site, for statistical purposes and to administer our systems. We may use third parties to help us fulfill orders, to help process payments, to conduct surveys and to help administer promotional emails. We give them access to the information needed to do their jobs. Sometimes that includes your personal information. Our computer system protects personal information using advanced firewall technology.

Children's privacy online
At Guidance Associates of Pennsylvania, we understand that children's privacy is important. We do not monitor the age of our user audience. However, if you are under age 16, you should not submit personal identifying information to Guidance Associates of Pennsylvania without the consent of your parent or guardian. If you are a parent and want to limit your children's access to material you believe may be harmful to them, you may want to look into commercially available hardware, software and filtering devices.
Credit-card transactions
Credit card transactions are handled by a third-party financial institution,
which receives the credit card number and other personal identifying information
only to verify the credit card numbers and process transactions. Although we
make reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal information once we receive
it, we cannot warrant the security of information you transmit to us over the
internet. Never send your credit card number to anyone via e-mail.
