Internet Privacy Notice
Overview
This Internet Privacy Notice covers Johnson Chimney and Johnson Power Vac,
Inc.'s treatment of personally identifiable information that we collect when
you are on our site or using our services. This Privacy Notice also
applies to JPV, Inc.'s treatment of any personally identifiable information
that our business partners share with us. This Internet Privacy Notice
does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control,
or to people that we do not employ or manage.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable information
as you transmit your information from your computer to our site and to protect
such information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure,
alteration, or destruction. JPV, Inc. has full SSL security in place
for all orders submitted through our internet site. When you enter
the checkout area of our store, you are in the secure portion of the JPV,
Inc. website. This can be verified by checking that the URL in the
address window of your browser changes from http:// to https:// and you will
be able to see that you are in a secure, encrypted mode by noticing that
in Internet Explorer a lock icon appears on the status bar and in Netscape
the security lock icon on the button bar and on the bottom of the page is
now locked. All transactions that involve personal and credit card
information use a secure, encrypted connection ensuring your privacy. You
should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or
error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this site may not
be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what
information you send to us via e-mail. Moreover, where you use passwords,
ID numbers, or other special access features on this site, it is your
responsibility to safeguard them.
To provide additional information for our visitors and customers, Johnson
Power Vac may from time to time provide links to other sites which we feel
contain pertinent or useful content. These sites are carefully chosen;
however, since they are not maintained by JPV, Inc., we cannot guarantee
the quality of information, or be held responsible for any inaccurate or
misleading content which might be present on these sites.
Information Collection and Use
JPV, Inc. may collect personally identifiable information when you visit
or use our pages. We automatically receive and record information on
our server logs from your browser including your IP address, cookie information
and the page you requested. This information may be used for three
general purposes: to customize the content you see, to fulfill your requests
for certain services and information, and to contact you.
We respect your privacy when you provide JPV, Inc. with information while
you are online at www.johnsonpowervac.com. We feel it is important
for you to understand what information is collected about you during your
visit and what we do with that information. This Internet Privacy Notice
is designed to tell you about our practices regarding the collection, use,
and disclosure of information that you may provide via this site and certain
related services. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy
before using, or submitting information, to this site. Your visit to
www.johnsonpowervac.com is subject to this Privacy Notice and to our
Conditions of Use. This
site is intended primarily for use by residents of the United States.
JPV, Inc. is completely dedicated to protecting the privacy of visitors to
our site who voluntarily provide us with on-line information about themselves.
We do not trade, sell, or loan personal information, such as e-mail
or standard mailing addresses, phone numbers, etc., to any other company

Your Consent
By using this site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy Notice.
Whenever you submit information via this site, you consent to the
collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this
Internet Privacy Notice. If you would prefer that we not collect any

Age Appropriate Audience
This site and its contents are intended for property owners, and homemakers.
It was not our intention that children under the age of 18 make use
of this site. We will not knowingly collect information from site visitors
that are not considered to be adults.
Active Information Collection
Like many Internet sites, this site actively collects information from its
visitors both by asking you specific questions and by permitting you to
communicate directly with us via e-mail, and feedback forms. Some of
the information that you submit may be personally identifiable information
(that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your
full name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and so on).
Some areas of this site may require you to submit information in order for
you to benefit from the specified features (such as order processing) or
to participate in a particular activity such as a promotion. You will
be informed at each information collection point what information is required
and what information is optional.
Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through a Web site, certain information can be passively
collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information)
using various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol addresses,
cookies, Internet tags, and navigational data collection.
We use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses on this site. An IP Address is a
number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so you
can access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally
identifiable information. We use your IP address to diagnose problems with
our server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for
your computer to use in connecting to our site, and to administer and improve
our site.
A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web site sends to your Web browser
that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences.
We do use "cookies" on this site.
"Internet tags" (also known as breadcrumbs, single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs,
invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the Web
site server information such as the IP address and browser type related to
the visitor's computer. We use Internet tags at this site. These tags have
been placed on various pages of the site, and indicate how many times a page
is opened and which information is consulted. We do not collect or
seek personally identifiable information through these tags.
"Navigational data" ("log files," "server logs," and "clickstream" data)
are used for system management, to improve the content of the site, for market
research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors. This
site uses navigational data.
Use and Disclosure of Information
Except as otherwise stated, we may use your information to improve the content
of our site, to customize the site to better serve the intended audience,
for our marketing and research purposes, to communicate information to you
(if you have requested it), and for the purposes specified in this Internet
Privacy Notice.
If you provide personally identifiable information to this site, we may combine
such information with other actively collected information unless we specify
otherwise at the point of collection. We will take reasonable measures
to prevent personally identifiable information from being combined with passively
collected information, unless you consent otherwise.
