This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using the somersetw.com site (the “Website”). For purposes of this Privacy Policy, the terms “somersetw.com”, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Somerset West Inc., and all of its affiliates, and “you” or “your” refers to you, as a user of this Website.
​
Your Consent. By using the Website, you consent to our collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. The Website’s Privacy Policy applies to individuals who use the Website and we reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy, along with related procedures, at any time. Please review the entire policy to learn about what type of information is gathered, how such information is used, what information may be disclosed to third parties, and how the company safeguards your information.
Information Collected by somersetw.com. Somersetw.com collects two types of information about users: personal information, for example, name and e-mail address; and aggregate information, for example, information about how many users access the Website on a daily basis.
Personal Information. Personal information is collected when users voluntarily opt-in to request to receive product samples or to receive product information. If you communicate to us by e-mail, we will record the e-mail address from which you send your message. Personal information we may collect includes, but is not limited to, your first and last name, zip code, email address and phone number.
Aggregate Information. Aggregate information about your activities online (such as the pages you access most frequently or the search terms you enter) may be tracked through the use of “cookies”, tracking Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, “click-through” URLs, and domain name tracking. Somersetw.com may use “cookies”. A cookie is a small data file that websites store on your hard drive when you visit them. Somersetw.com does not use cookies to retrieve any information from your computer. If you do not want us to store cookies on your computer, you may set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, some parts of the Website may not function properly if you choose not to accept cookies. If you are concerned that you might have created a cookie in a previous visit, you can view whatever cookies are already stored on your hard drive by accessing your computer’s cookie file.
Somersetw.com servers also automatically identify your computer by its Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider. Your IP address does not identify an individual by name, however, it may reveal your geographic area and your Internet service provider. Somersetw.com will not match your IP address to any personally identifiable information. This means that your Website session will be tracked, but you will remain anonymous.
Further, somersetw.com may send you e-mail messages with a “click-through URL” linked to the content of the Website. When you click onto one of these URLs, you will pass through our server before arriving at the destination webpage. Somersetw.com may track this click-through data to help us determine subscriber interest in the subject matter and measure the effectiveness of our subscriber communications. You can avoid being tracked simply by not clicking on any links or images in the email.
When you visit the Website, we automatically record the name of the domain from which you accessed the Website. If you got to the Website by means of a link from another site, our computers will note the fact that you came to us from that linked site.
​

Somersetw.com may also share aggregate information with third parties (without revealing any personally identifiable information about you) for advertising and promotional purposes.
