Browser Cookies

The use of browser cookies has become a standard practice on many corporate websites. A “cookie” (also known as an HTTP cookie or web cookie) is a small text file that may be generated by a website and stored on the hard drive by a visitor’s browser. Such cookies facilitate the exchange of reusable information between a website and a user’s browser. This information can be used for authentication, identification of a user session, user’s preferences, shopping cart contents, or anything else that can be accomplished through storing text data on the user’s computer.

Cookies cannot be programmed, cannot carry viruses, and cannot install malware on the host computer. Moreover, when enabled in your browser, cookies do not normally identify you personally; and you will therefore remain anonymous, unless you choose to provide the Company with personally identifiable information.

Preferred Business Forms, Inc. may utilize cookies on certain pages of the Website in order to personalize your visit. Nevertheless, some people prefer not to accept cookies when visiting websites. Please consult the “Help” section of your browser to learn how to control or disable this feature in your preference settings. Be aware, however, that if you choose not to accept cookies, certain parts of our Website may not function correctly.

PERSONAL DATA COLLECTION

In various interactive areas of the Website (the “Interactive Areas”), such as the Contact Us page, Brochure Request page, Careers page, Newsletter Subscription form, credit applications, corporate email links, or clickable social media subscription badges, the Company may acquire, or request that you voluntarily provide us with, certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to your name, the company you work for, your work title, business telephone number, postal and/or email address, survey responses, and other information from which your identity is determinable. This information is collected and stored by the Company strictly for internal use only, so that we may satisfactorily respond to a request for promotional material or answer any queries you may have. We will retain this information for as long as is necessary to adequately serve you in the manner described in this Privacy Statement.

If you choose to provide the Company with personally identifiable contact information as described above, we may use it to send you printed or electronic publications in areas of potential interest to you, notify you about new products or services, alert you to special promotional opportunities, or otherwise contact you by telephone, mail, or email for marketing and similar purposes. We may also use this information to improve communications with you, to expand or revise the Content on the Website, and/or to improve the Website experience.

Be assured that the Company will never willfully disclose, give, sell, trade, rent, or otherwise transmit to any third party (other than our subsidiaries, affiliates, data processors, and agents) any such personally identifiable information about our Website visitors, customers, clients, suppliers, or partners without first receiving explicit, written permission from them individually to do so. Personal information such as names, email addresses, and the like, and any other personal information that is collected by the Company through its Website, will never be shared with any other person, group, or organization. Any and all information collected through this Website will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. We respect and attempt to safeguard your privacy at all times.

Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may at times be required by law, rule, regulation, or litigation to disclose to appropriate legal authorities the personally identifiable information that you have provided to us. We may also disclose to such authorities any and all personal information about you when, in our judgment and sole discretion, we believe it necessary or appropriate to do so in order to prevent fraud, injury, or harm to persons to property; to protect our rights and the rights of others; and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or other legal process. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction. We reserve the right to report any suspected illegal activity to law enforcement for investigation or prosecution.

If you do not want your personally identifiable information collected, stored, or used by the Company, please do not submit it to us through the Interactive Areas of this Website. Please bear in mind that if you decline to submit such personally identifiable information as may be requested of you, you may not be able to access certain pages and features on the Website; and of course, in that instance we would not be able to contact you to respond to requests and queries.
