The information we learn from customers
helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at Penon
Audio. Here are the types of information we gather.
Information You Give Us:
We receive and store any information you

provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage
of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such
purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you,
improving our stores, and communicating with you.
Automatic Information:
We receive and store certain types of
information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we
use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your
Web browser accesses Penon Audio. Scroll to the bottom of this page to see
examples of the information we receive. A number of companies offer utilities
designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able
to provide you with a personalized experience at Penon Audio, if we cannot
recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
Examples of the information we collect and
analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your
computer to the Internet; computer and connection information such as browser
type and version, operating system, and platform; purchase history; the full
Uniform Resource Locators (URL) clickstream to, through, and from our Web site,
including date and time; cookie number; and products you viewed or searched
for.
E-mail Communications:
To help us make e-mails more useful and
interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Penon
Audio if your computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer
list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending
unnecessary messages to our customers. If you do not want to receive e-mail or
other mail from us, please adjust your account to reflect this by selecting
unsubscribed in the newsletters menu.
What About Cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that
we transfer to your computer hard drive through your Web browser to enable our
systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as automatic
login and permanent shopping carts for storage of items in your Shopping Cart
between visits. The help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you
how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser
notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.
However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of Penon Audio coolest
features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
Does Penon Audio Share the Information It Receives?

important part of our business, and we are NOT in the business of selling it to

protection and credit risk reduction.

How Secure Is Information About Me?
