parties, except as outlined in this policy. We collect information from our
customers to process orders and better serve you with pertinent information,
such as order confirmations and order status updates. Information collected
includes your name, shipping address, billing address, telephone numbers, e-mail
address, and payment information such as your credit card number. We also require
you to submit a username and password of your choice for your future access
to your account information. To safeguard that your user name and password remain

In order to process your orders placed on this website, you must first complete
the registration form. During registration, you will be required to provide

Order
Most of the information collected in the registration process will be used to
process orders. During the order process, you will have to provide financial
information such as your credit card number, expiration date, or check information.
This information is used for billing purposes and to fulfill your order. If
we have trouble processing an order, we will use this contact information to
get in touch with you. To properly process your credit card information, we
must share your personal and financial information with the merchant bank for
authorization and approval. This process is protected by an enhanced security
system. See the Security section below for more details on security measures
and procedures. We do not share your personal and financial information with
any third parties, except those specified in the Sharing section of this policy.
Cookies
We customize certain Web page content based on your browser-type or other information
provided by our cookie. If you reject the cookie, you will still be able to
browse our site; however, you will be unable to use our shopping cart and purchase
items. This is because cookies are required by the shopping cart to retain the
necessary information to process your order. If you disable cookies, Wholesale
Computer Products, Inc. will be unable to accept your order online. We do not
share any personally identifiable information provided by this cookie with any
third party. Cookies are used only for the purpose of providing you with a personal

We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement,
and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We do not link IP

Sharing
We may employ third party companies to perform functions on our behalf. These
functions may include order fulfillment, package delivery, marketing assistance,
postal and e-mail delivery, customer service, data analysis, and credit processing.
The third parties we contract for these purposes have limited access to your
personal information and may not use it for other purposes.
As our business continues to evolve, we may acquire or sell business units
or subsidiaries. Customer information is one of the business assets that would
be transferred in these types of transactions. In such a situation, your personally
identifiable information would only be used in a manner consistent with our
pre-existing Privacy Notice.
