PittGlobal's
Privacy Policy
PittGlobal respects the privacy of its clients and customers, staff, partners, and other contacts, including all users of our website. The company applies this principle to its website, in various ways. We implement our policy in terms of what we do and what we do not do. We do not sell, share, or rent user information to other parties in any manner except as appropriate in conducting business. We might, for example, provide a client's contact information or delivery address to enable a shipper to deliver an order properly or to clear up a shipping problem. We retain confidential information in secure formats and locations. Persons who use our website do so with the understanding that they agree to be bound by our Privacy Policy as stated herein. We respectfully ask individuals who do not agree with our policy to avoid visits and use of our site. We reserve the right to clarify, improve, and otherwise change aspects of this privacy policy, so we advise everyone concerned about privacy issues to visit this page to look for possible changes that might affect their decision to visit or not. PittGlobal
and its Partners
PittGlobal undertakes some
of its business activities in partnership with other companies and
organizations. These business relationships enable PittGlobal clients
to obtain products and/or services at competitive prices. In the course
of transactions to benefit our clients, we may of necessity share
certain client-related information. By contracting with PittGlobal for
a service or product, our clients inherently authorize us to share
their relevant information to process, complete, service, and/or renew
a partner-related business activity, initiate and monitor a shipment to
or for such clients, and to represent their interests in dealing with
said partners.A client or website user who obtains through our site direct access to a partner's website and conducts business with said partner exits PittGlobal's sphere of responsibility by clicking on the partner's link. If the client/user and partner agree upon a transaction for a product or service, the exchange of confidential information between them, such as credit card data, is beyond PittGlobal's knowledge and access. We do not knowingly collaborate with commercial or other organizations whose information security policies and known activities should cause any alarm to clients of PittGlobal. We therefore explicitly deny responsibility for any direct or indirect consequences of an information exchange between a client and a partner that is wholly outside the purview and control of PittGlobal, including contact facilitated by our website, email, postal mail, and/or telephone, in which PittGlobal is not a direct party. For transactions by clients with a PittGlobal partner, PittGlobal can be expected to obtain transaction related information, such as what the client has purchased, the amount paid, the date of the purchase, date of delivery, and whether the purchase was concluded on-line or at a physical location of the partner. Information concerning returns and exchanges may also be shared with PittGlobal. The sharing of such information helps PittGlobal to service the client's account. PittGlobal may use information about such transactions to design marketing that reflects apparent needs and interests of PittGlobal's clientele. PittGlobal does not receive credit card information from its partners. Information
Collection and Use
PittGlobal collects
information from clients in the course of normal business activities
and retains certain information in secure ways and places. We share
information only as needed by PittGlobal, our suppliers, vendors,
shippers, partners, etc. to accomplish transactions. In non-personal,
statistical analyses we may from time to time use aggregated data from
our pool of clients, customers, site visitors, and so forth. PittGlobal
clients are encouraged to establish accounts with PittGlobal partners
through an internet gateway or online link. Partner companies may share
basic identifying and contact information relative to such accounts
with PittGlobal. In all such cases in which the PittGlobal client or
customer transacts business with the partner company, financial
information may be shared by the client with the partner, but
PittGlobal has no interest in and no access to such financial
information (e.g., credit card data), which the client may give to our
partner. By way of illustration, when clients provide certain financial
information to Office Depot, PittGlobal has neither interest in nor
access to that information. Transactions between PittGlobal clients and
partners are made by and between said parties. Retention and security
of client information in such cases, except as noted above, is the
responsibility of the partner. PittGlobal clients will always have the right to unsubscribe from PittGlobal's online marketing communications. PittGlobal's information regarding clients may be shared with law enforcement agencies or other parties in response to a court order, for bona fide, mandated purposes. |

Security
Information
For transactions directly
between

In so doing, PittGlobal takes security precautions to ensure the
confidentiality of client data. PittGlobal will transfer such
information only to commercial actors with a legitimate need to know
certain client information to process and complete a transaction or to
effect a related adjustment to the transaction.PittGlobal will always make bona fide efforts to keep client data secure and safe, both online and offline. Despite earnest, substantive efforts to achieve fail-safe data protection, there is no way to achieve guaranteed security 100%. PittGlobal shall therefore not be liable for special, indirect, exemplary, or consequential damages, or any damages whatsoever, including but not limited to loss of use of such data and/or profits. This exclusion of liability applies without regard to the form of any action, including but not limited to contract, negligence, or other tortuous actions, that may arise from or in connection to the use, copying, or display of the contents of this website. This exclusion also applies, even if PittGlobal or an authorized representative of PittGlobal, has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Cookies
