Section 4 - Cookies, Local Storage, and Other Tracking Technologies
We also want to describe how the AmerPlus.com Store uses cookies. A cookie is a small piece of information that websites use to remember information about users. Our Store uses two types of cookies to recognize our visitors and remember shopping list items. Our Store uses transient cookies to provide continuity from page to page. Within a single visit, these cookies store information such as your shopping list to simplify checkout. They do not contain any personally identifying information.
AmerPlus.com also uses persistent cookies to identify visitors after their first visit and to send data to Google Analytics as described above. These cookies remain on the hard drive of a PC and allow a user to visit the AmerPlus.com Store without having to log in on every visit. To access any secure areas such as your account information or checkout, you must still enter your password.
Some of our business partners, such as our analytics providers, also use cookies on our website, some of which may track users across websites and over time.
Section 5 - Security
We have taken a variety of security measures to protect the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information to make shopping at AmerPlus.com Store a safe as well as enjoyable experience for our valued customers. Please keep your account password secure to help ensure the safety of your personal information. Credit card information you provide through the website is transmitted to our credit card processor, is processed offsite, and is transmitted using Secure Sockets Layering (SSL) through encrypted channels. Because we use SSL, placing an order online is just as safe as giving your credit card number over the telephone.
While we take reasonable measures to protect the information you submit via the website against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure, or modification, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. No Internet, email, or mobile transmission is ever fully secure or error free. Email or other messages sent through the website may not be secure. You should use caution whenever submitting information through the website and take special care in deciding with which information you provide us.
We cannot guarantee that transmissions of your credit or debit card or personal information will be fully secure and that third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or the security measures of our payment processors. WE ASSUME NO LIABILITY FOR DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION DUE TO TRANSMISSION ERRORS, THIRD-PARTY ACCESS OR CAUSES BEYOND OUR CONTROL.
Section 6 - Data Retention Policy, Managing Your Information
We will retain your information for as long as you use the website and for a reasonable time thereafter. Please note that some or all of the information we have collected may be required in order for the website to function properly.
Section 7 - Links to Other Websites or Applications
This Privacy Policy applies only to the website. The website may contain links to other websites or apps or may forward users to other websites or apps that we may not own or operate. The links from the website do not imply that we endorse or have reviewed these websites or apps. The policies and procedures we describe here do not apply to these websites or apps.

Through cookies we place on your browser or device, we and our marketing partners may collect information about your online activity after you leave the website. Just like any other usage information we collect, this information allows us to improve the website and customize your online experience, and otherwise as described in this privacy policy. Your browser may offer you a "Do Not Track" option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and mobile applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and/or across different websites and mobile applications and services. The website does not support Do Not Track requests at this time, which means that we collect information about your online activity both while you are using the website and after you leave the website.
