1. What information does Alan's Sales collect from you?
In order to better provide you with products and services, Alan's Sales collects two types of information about its visitors: Personally Identifiable and Non-Personally Identifiable. Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using our site.

Personally Identifiable Information
This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. Personal information is requested when you register and set up an account, order a product or service, and send us feedback. For example, this information might include your name, billing address, shipping address, telephone number, e-mail address, or other payment information, and product details. With this information, Alan's Sales can fill your orders and better provide you with personalized services.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information
This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based upon where you shop on our site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. For example, this information may include the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the web site that you just came from, what browser and system you are using, and when you visited the site.

On an aggregated basis, we collect anonymous data related to the pages, products, downloads and other content that is sampled, clicked on, streamed, searched for, transferred from and downloaded.

We use the customer contact information to fill orders, contact purchasers to inform them of their order status, to send promotional information, to enhance the operation of our site and administer our systems.
Alan's Sales also does research on demographics and interests of our visitors, and pages viewed based on the information provided to us during ordering, a promotion, from our server log files, from our web site analysis agents, or from surveys. We will use this data to enhance the visitor's experience at our site, to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze site use, to improve our product offerings, and to customize our site's content, layout, and services.
