Information and how it's received.
Every computer connected to the Internet is assigned a set of numbers that
serve as that computer's "Internet Protocol" or "IP"
address. As each visitor requests a page from within americanblindandshade.com

recognition reveals nothing about the visitor other than the IP address from
which they have accessed our Site. This information is used to examine our
traffic in aggregate, but does not collect or evaluate this information on an
individual basis. Our Web Servers do not possess the ability to record our
visitors email addresses.

We may also request your email address or mailing address for the purposes of conducting a survey or to provide additional services (for example, subscriptions to e-mail newsletters, announcement lists or information about sales, etc). Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is requested.

We may from time to time send email announcing new Americanblindandshade.com products and/or services.
