Your privacy is very important to us. Accordingly, we have implemented this Privacy Policy to inform you of the information that we collect from you, how we collect this information, and what we do with it after we collect it.

If you have any questions or comments regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact us at: sales@getgarveys.com
Does Garvey's Office Products Ever Make Changes to its Privacy Policy?
We may make changes to the Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by sending you an email (if you are a Shopkeeper), posting a notice on the home page of the Web Site, or, through the use of cookies, informing you when you first sign on to the Web Site after we have made changes. If you receive notification of a change in our Privacy Policy, you must review the new Privacy Policy carefully to make sure you understand our practices and procedures. You will not be able to receive notices from us if your cookies are not set to accept.
What Types of Information Does Garvey's Office Products Collect From Me?
We collect Personal Information from you. As explained above, Personal Information is information that can be used to identify you individually, such as your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and credit card number.
Non-Personal Information.
We also collect "non-personal" information from you, such as your browser type, the URL of the previous web site you visited, and your IP Address. This information ("Non-Personal Information") cannot be easily used to personally identify you.
How and When Does Garvey's Office Products Collect This Information?
We collect Personal Information from you when you provide it to us. For example, if you purchase a product sold through a Shop, we may collect your name, mailing address, telephone number, credit card number, and email address. If you create an Account, we may collect your name, mailing address, email address, and other information that we request in the registration process. If you sign up to receive a newsletter, we will collect your email address.
Analytic and Reporting Technologies.
Like the operators of most web sites, we use analytic and reporting technologies to record Non-Personal Information such as Internet domain and host names, Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser software and operating system types, clickstream patterns, and the dates and times that the Web Site and the Business Management International Services are accessed.
How Does Garvey's Office Products Use My Information?
We use Personal Information primarily for our own internal purposes, such as providing, maintaining, evaluating, and improving the Business Management International Services and the Web Site, fulfilling requests for information, producing and shipping the products that you order, and providing customer support.
Non-Personal Information.
We use non-personal information to track your use of the Web Site and the Business Management International Services and for other internal purposes, particularly providing, maintaining, evaluating, and improving the Business Management International Services and the Web Site.
When Will Garvey's Office Products Disclose My Information to Third Parties?
Generally speaking, we do not intentionally disclose your information to third parties without your consent. However we reserve the right to do so because it is necessary to the operation and continued growth of our business or to protect the rights of others. These instances are discussed below:
Disclosure to Successors.
We may disclose your Personal Information to any successor-in-interest of ours, such as a company that acquires us. In the event Business Management International goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personally identifiable information will likely be among the assets transferred. You will be notified via email or by a notice on our Web Site of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
Disclosure of Non-Personal Information.
We will disclose Non-Personal Information, in aggregate form, to potential strategic partners, advertisers, investors, customers, and others. You may not "opt out" of the sharing of this information. However, it cannot be easily used to identify you personally.

Does Garvey's Office Products Protect My Personal Information?
Whenever we obtain your Personal Information, we use commercially reasonable efforts to protect it from unauthorized access or disclosure.
