Information We Collect And How We Use It
Information You Explicitly Provide
via Order Form:
To process your order, we require your name, billing address, phone number, e-mail address, shipping address, and credit card information. We use this information solely to process your order, to send promotional information and, if any questions should arise, to contact you about your order. In general, we will try to contact you by e-mail and/or phone. We process your orders ourselves, in house, and thus your information is not shared with any third parties. However, when we have to share this information, it will only be that information which is absolutely necessary, with those third parties that may be involved in the processing of your order in the future. For example, the financial institution that issued your credit card and the shipping carrier that delivers your order. Any sharing of personal information will be only with service providers (such as banks, credit card verifiers, etc.) in processing orders.
via "Contact Us" E-mails:
Should you decide to contact us through one of our e-mail addresses for a suggestion or problem via the Contact Us form, you will be supplying your name and e-mail address and we will only use that information to send you a prompt reply.
Information We Automatically Collect
Shopper ID
Upon visiting our site, we assign you a unique Shopper ID and attempt to store that onto your computer in the form of a cookie. This is used to keep track of your shopping basket during your visit and between visits. Cookies used by FlashMemoryStore.com are not tied to personally identifiable information. If you are uncomfortable with the idea of being assigned a Shopper ID, we recommend disabling cookie support in your browser (please see your browser documentation for specific procedures). You may still place an order by phone, fax or postal mail. Disabling cookie support will disable most of the shopping basket features in our site.
IP Address
We record IP addresses in the aggregate for monitoring the level of activity on our site, but we do not link this to your Shopper ID.

Glossary of Terms
Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information that a web site stores in your computer. Temporary cookies only last as long as your browser is running. Persistent cookies are stored on your hard disk (they take up very little space). Sites often use cookies to identify repeat visitors and offer them personalized service.
IP Address
When you are connected to the Internet, your computer has a unique Internet ID called an IP address. Most people that connect through a dial-up service, such as America Online, get a different IP address each time they login. Others might have a permanently assigned IP address, called a static IP address. It is difficult or impossible for a web site to collect personal information about you (i.e., your name, e-mail address, etc.) from your IP address alone, though a static IP address makes this easier.
Shopper ID
A unique ID assigned to each shopper that visits an online store with a shopping basket system. Each store you visit will assign you a different ID. Many stores use a cookie to save your Shopper ID for re-use when you return to that same store. Some shoppers find this convenient and others find it objectionable.
SSL Encryption
A method by which information transmitted across the Internet is scrambled to the point where it's virtually indecipherable by anyone who should intercept the data before it reaches its destination. Most reputable online stores make use of SSL encryption to request credit card information and other sensitive data from their customers. Web pages where SSL encryption is activated are typically identified by a lock or key symbol displayed somewhere in your browser. Refer to your browser's documentation for the specific symbol and location.
