What Information About Me Is Collected and Stored?
POP adheres to the highest standards of ethical practices in all of our operations and is dedicated to protecting the privacy of all visitors to our Website. Our privacy policy is simple: except as disclosed below, we don’t sell, barter, give away, or rent your personal information to any company. One of the basic principles we’ve tried to follow in designing this Website is that we ask for only the information we need to provide the service you’ve requested. As a result, what information we collect and store depends almost entirely on how you choose to make use of our Website and our services.
Personal Information
We collect and store information that you enter into this Website. For example, when you subscribe to our mailing list, we will collect and store some or all of the following information that you provide: name, email address, mailing address and telephone number. Some of this information may be used to contact you about our services, news or other announcements from POP.
Anonymous Information
Through your use of the Website, we may also gather certain information that does not identify you individually (“Anonymous Information”). Generally, this information is collected through “traffic data”. We collect and store certain other information automatically whenever you interact with this Website. For example, we collect your IP address, browser information and reference site domain name every time you visit this Website. We also collect information regarding customer traffic patterns and site usage. This information is used to analyze and improve this Website and to gain a better understanding of the interests of visitors to the Website.
Use of Cookies and Spyware
We never use or install spyware on your computer, nor do we use spyware to retrieve information from your computer.
Like many Websites, we use “cookies”, which are files stored on your computer’s hard drive by your browser. Most browsers accept cookies automatically but allow you to disable them. We recommend that you leave cookies “turned on” so that we can offer you the best experience on this Website.

We collect e-mail addresses and other personal information from all users who subscribe to our newsletter. This information is not shared with any third parties for any purposes.

Use of Anonymous Information
We use Anonymous Information to help us determine how people use parts of the Website and who our visitors are so we can improve our Website and ensure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many people as possible.

Third-party Agents
We occasionally have third party agents, subsidiaries, affiliates and partners that perform functions on our behalf, such as marketing, analytics, etc (for example, Google assists with web analytics). These entities may have access to the Personal Information needed to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of that Personal Information. They are restricted from using, selling, distributing or altering this data in any way other than to provide the requested services to the Website.
Transactional Partners
We may share non-personal information from time to time. Examples of such non-personal information include the number of users who visited this Website during a specific time period. This information generally is shared in an aggregated form.
Emergency Situations
We may also use or disclose Personal Information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to applicable law or comply with legal process served on us or the Website; (b) protect and defend the our rights or property, the Website or our users, and (c) act under emergency circumstances to protect the personal safety of us, our affiliates, agents, or the users of the Website or the public.
What Steps Are Taken To Keep Personal Information Secure?
