Contact information is used to respond to your inquiries and to send products and services ordered from this web site. You also may receive periodic mailings from us with information on new products and services, updates to the site or upcoming events. We do not share, sell or make public any personal information provided to meet registration/sign-in requirements nor do we share, sell, or make public any personal information as pertains to product purchases or information requests. We may also disclose personal information if we believe that we are required to do so (i) by law, (ii) to comply with legal process or governmental requests, (iii) to enforce our Terms and Conditions of Use or (iv) to protect the rights, property, or safety of H&W Independent Solutions, its users or the public.

Information regarding a product purchased and the business entity or individual to which/whom it is shipped is held in strict confidence. Service Providers We collect information relating to traffic levels on the web site - for example, the total number of users visiting particular pages. This information is helpful to us for improving the services we offer and for marketing purposes. We use IP addresses to calculate website usage levels. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice on the Internet, and is done automatically by many websites. Use of Cookies/Logged Files Cookies, or logged files, are data that a website transfers to an individual's computer for record keeping purposes. Cookies, which are an industry standard used by most websites, can facilitate a user's ongoing access to and use of a site. Cookies do not cause damage to your computer systems or files. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to automatically decline cookies, or to be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer of a cookie to your computer. You should note, however, that declining the cookies may make it difficult for you to make purchases on this site. Security We have security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. Any time we ask for a credit card number we transmit that credit card number in an encrypted format. We use industry-standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems. Links to Third Party Sites This web site may contain links to third-party websites.
