We intend to give you as much control as possible over your personal information. In general, you can visit the Site without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself.

Tracking of Website Usage

The Seeing Eye may collect anonymous information about users who visit our Site and compile this anonymous information for statistical analysis. For instance, we may use it to determine usage patterns so we know which parts of our site are popular. This technology does not identify you personally. It simply enables us to compile statistics about our visitors and their use of our Website.

Security

The Seeing Eye strives to keep your information secure and safeguard it from unauthorized access by using firewalls to protect our servers and virus/intrusion detection software. However, no transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed 100% secure, so you provide your information at your own risk.

This site links to other sites. TSE is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Websites. We will not pass your information along to the linked site; however, we cannot protect your information if you provide information to that site.

When you place orders or access your account information, we use a secure server. This secure server software, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. Furthermore, all of the customer transactional data we collect is protected against unauthorized access with the use of digital certificates. Digital certificates for The Seeing Eye are issued by VeriSign, one of the most established signers of digital certificates. To learn more about our online security, simply click on the "Security" link (it usually appears as a padlock) in your browser tool bar, at the bottom of your browser window.

The Seeing Eye provides all email and physical mail recipients with a clear, easy and effective method to unsubscribe to any and all online and/or mail communications. TSE does not misrepresent the source of any message, does not falsify sender’s domain name or use a non-responsive IP address, and will not use false or misleading “Subject” lines.
