For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. SSL makes it difficult for your credit card information to be intercepted or stolen while being transmitted. [We use a credit card company to process credit card transactions.

Use of Cookies
SYNTECHS Sites may use “cookies” to enable you to sign in to our services and to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. SYNTECHS Sites use cookies to store your preferences and other information on your computer in order to save you time by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information and to display your personalized content and appropriate advertising on your later visits to these sites. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use other interactive features of SYNTECHS Sites and services that depend on cookies.
Use of Web Beacons
SYNTECHS web pages may contain electronic images known as web beacons - sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that may be used to assist in delivering cookies on our sites and allow us to count users who have visited those pages. We may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or our newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon. SYNTECHS may also employ web beacons from third parties in order to help us compile aggregated statistics and determine the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns. We prohibit web beacons on our Sites from being used by third parties to collect or access your personal information. Finally, we may work with other companies that advertise on SYNTECHS Sites to place web beacons on their sites in order to allow us to develop statistics on how often clicking on an advertisement on a SYNTECHS Site results in a purchase or other action on the advertiser’s site. [Use of Third Party Ad Networks The majority of the online banner advertisements you see on SYNTECHS web pages are displayed by SYNTECHS. However, we allow other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to display advertisements on SYNTECHS web pages. Some of these ad networks may place a persistent cookie on your computer in order to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. In this way, ad networks may compile information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. SYNTECHS does not have access to the cookies that may be placed by the third-party ad servers or ad networks. SYNTECHS is not responsible for any information you provide to such third party ad networks.] [Controlling “Spam” or Unsolicited E-mail SYNTECHS is concerned about controlling unsolicited commercial e-mail, or “spam.” SYNTECHS will not sell, lease or rent its e-mail subscriber lists to third parties.]
