gives contact information (such as name and email address). We use this
information to contact the user about services on our site for which he has
expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide demographic
information (such as income level and gender), but encouraged so we can provide
a more personalized experience on our site.

We request information from
the user on our order form. A user must provide contact information (such as

card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes
and to fill customer’s orders. If we have trouble processing an order, the
information is used to contact the user.

for the sole purpose of processing your order, or answering your questions.
It may also be used to provide you with occasional newsletters and information
about our company, or your account with out company.
Profile
We
store information that we collect through cookies, log files, clear gifs, and/or
third parties to create a profile of our users. A profile is stored information
that we keep on individual users that details their viewing preferences.
Consequently, collected information is tied to the users personally identifiable
information to provide offers and improve the content of the site for the user.
This profile is used to tailor a user’s visit to our Web site, and to direct
pertinent marketing promotions to them. We do not share your profile with other
third parties.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data
stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. [Usage of a
cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on
our site.] We use [both] session ID cookies [and] persistent cookies. For the
session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates.
A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user’s hard drive for an
extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet
browser help file directions.
Some of our business
partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have
no access to or control over these cookies, once we have given permission for
them to set cookies for advertising.
Third Party Advertising
This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by lifttruckonline.com only and

Log Files
Like most standard Web site
servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses,
browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform
type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the
site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally
identifiable information.
Communications from the
Site
Special Offers and
Updates
Established members will
occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a
newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to
not receive these types of communications. Please see the Choice and Opt-out
sections.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe
to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email
address. Out of respect for our users privacy we provide a way to opt-out of
these communications. Please see the Choice and Opt-out sections.
Service Announcements
On rare occasions it is
necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement. For instance, if
our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send users an
email. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, though they
can deactivate their account. However, these communications are not promotional
in nature. [Users may opt-out of these communications. Please see our Choice
and Opt-out section.]
Customer Service
We communicate with users on
a regular basis to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating
to their account we reply via email or phone, in accordance with the users
wishes.
Sharing
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort
to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when
required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is
necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal
process served on our Web site.
Aggregate Information
(non-personally identifiable)
We share aggregated
demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked
to any personally identifiable information.
Third Party
Intermediaries
We use an outside shipping
company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for
goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use
personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Business Transitions
In the event RVL Equipment,
Inc. goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by
another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users’ personal information
will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the
opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their information used for purposes not
directly related to our site at the point where we ask for information. For
example, our order form has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism so users who buy a product
from us, but don’t want any marketing material, can keep their email address off
of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to
receive our newsletter and promotional communications may opt-out of receiving
these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email
or email us at

All of the above methods may
be used to be removed from our mailing list.
Users of our site are always
notified when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We
do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether or not they
should proceed with services that require an outside party.
Links
This Web site contains links
to other sites. Please be aware that we, RVL Equipment, Inc., are not
responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our
users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of
each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This
privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Surveys [& Contests]
From time-to-time our site
requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these
surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice
whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information
typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and
demographic information (such as zip code). Contact information will be used
[shared with the contest [survey] sponsors] to notify the winners and award
prizes. [Anonymous] Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring
or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Users’ personally
identifiable information is not shared with third parties unless we give prior
notice and choice. Though we may use an intermediary to conduct these surveys or
contests, they may not use users’ personally identifiable information for any
secondary purposes.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our
referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the
friend’s name and email address. RVL Equipment, Inc. will automatically send
the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. RVL Equipment,
Inc. does not store this information.
Chat Rooms, Message Boards, and Public Forums
Please keep in mind that
whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example on
message boards, through e-mail, or in chat areas - that information can be
collected and used by others. In short, by posting personal information online
that is publicly accessible, you may receive unsolicited messages from other
parties in return.
Security
This
Web site takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users
submit sensitive information via the Web site, their information is protected
both online and off-line.
When
our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as
credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted
and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While
on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web
browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just ‘surfing’.
While
we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted
in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific
job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are
granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, ALL
employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a
secure environment, at a remote site.
If
users have any questions about the security at our Web site, users can send an
email to
feedback@lifttruckonline.com .
Supplementation of
Information
In
order for this Web site to properly fulfill its obligation to users it is
necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information from
3rd party sources.
Enhancement of Marketing
Profile
We
purchase third party marketing data and add it to our existing user database to
better target our advertising and provide pertinent offers we think our users
would be interested in. We use this information to enhance or overlay the
‘profile’ of individual users. This aggregate marketing data is therefore tied
to the users’ personally identifiable information. See also the “Profile.”
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information
If a user’s personally
identifiable information changes (such as zip code, phone, email or postal
address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to
correct, update or delete/deactivate users’ personally identifiable information.
This can usually be done by emailing our Customer Support at
feedback@lifttruckonline.com
. Or, contact us by telephone or postal mail at the contact information
provided earlier in this article.
Notification of
Changes
If we decide to change our
privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the
homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of
what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if
any, we disclose it.
If, however, we are going to
use users’ personally identifiable information in a manner different from that
stated at the time of collection we will notify users by posting a notice on our
Web site for 30 days, and by sending an Email to all registered user.
