Cockpit USA Privacy Statement
Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. Our Privacy Policy describes the types of information we gather and how we use it. If the information practices of Cockpit USA change, we will let you know by posting the Privacy Policy adjustments on our Web site. We will notify you by E-mail of any such material changes before we use your personal information in a manner not previously disclosed in our Privacy Policy.
Use of Information by Cockpit USA
We gather certain types of customer information in an effort to improve your shopping experience and to communicate with you about our products, services, promotions and contests. Cockpit USA and its affiliates may also use this information to make offers to you, help us develop and improve Cockpit USA and tailor our site to your interests.
Information Collected by COCKPIT USA
Cockpit USA collects two types of information about users: personal information (such as name, e-mail address, mailing address and phone and credit card numbers) and aggregate information (such as information about how many users log on to our sites on a daily basis).
Personal Information Collected Online by COCKPIT USA
Personal information is collected online when users voluntarily register with Cockpit USA to purchase items, receive electronic newsletters, use community and communication services, answer surveys and enter contests and other promotional opportunities provided on Cockpit USA. We also maintain a record of your product interests and purchases online. We may receive personal usage and demographic information from our affiliates and from third parties.
Aggregate Information Collected Online by COCKPIT USA
Aggregate information is non-personally identifiable/anonymous information about you, such as age, gender, types of products purchased, pages you access most frequently or search terms you enter. Aggregate information is used in a collective manner, and no single person can be identified by that compiled information. For example, the number of people who shopped at Cockpit USA who are 25 years of age is aggregate information that does not personally identify a specific user. Tracking Internet Protocol (IP) addresses is one method of collecting aggregate information about your activities online and information volunteered by you. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the Web. The computers, which deliver the Web pages to you, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you request a page from our site, our servers log your IP address.
Sharing Information Collected Online with Third Parties, Consultants and Affiliates
Cockpit USA does reserve the right to share, sell, or trade your information with third parties regarding your personal information gathered online, such as E-mail addresses, personal information collected as a part of an online survey or other specific details about you. For privacy purposes, all information relating to our customers is stored on a highly secure server, and all credit card information is stored in an encrypted format and is not released to third parties.
Cockpit USA may share personal information gathered online with consultants and affiliates for any internal business purpose and may also divulge personal information if such information is subpoenaed or if Cockpit USA believes that membership has been used to commit unlawful acts or acts that may endanger the health or safety of another user or of the general public. In addition, Cockpit USA receives personal usage and demographic information from its affiliates and from third parties and uses this information to improve our products and services.
Cockpit USA may share aggregate information with affiliates and consultants for any internal business purpose and with third parties for their advertising and promotional purposes.

  Security and SSL

Protecting your order information is a priority for us. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your online order information.
To check the security of your connection, look at the lower right-hand corner of your browser window after accessing the server. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser), then SSL is active and the server is secure. You can also double-check by looking at the URL line of your browser. When accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https."
Some versions of browsers and some firewalls don't permit communication through secure servers. In that case, you won't be able to connect to the server and therefore won't be able to place an order through an insecure connection. If you cannot access the secure server for any reason, please print our order form and place your order by phone at 800-354-5514.

We encourage parents and guardians to spend time with their children online and to be familiar with the sites their children visit. We will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent. If we become aware that a customer is under the age of 13 and has registered without prior verifiable parental consent, we will remove his or her personally identifiable registration information from our files.

Such links may be to advertisers, content providers or partners who may use our logo and/or style as a result of a co-branding agreement. These sites may send their own cookies to you and may collect information and use it in a way inconsistent with Cockpit USA’s privacy policy. Cockpit USA does not control the content that appears on these sites and takes no responsibility for their content, nor should it be implied that Cockpit USA endorses or otherwise recommends such sites or their products or services offered.
