What Personal Information About Customers Does USA Emergency Supply.com Gather?The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at USA Emergency Supply.com. Here are the types of information we gather.
- Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you.
- Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses USA Emergency Supply.com. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at USA Emergency Supply.com if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
- E-mail Communications: Just about the only thing you'll receive from us by email is a copy of your receipt if you order from us, the tracking information once your order ships, and communication that we respond to if you ask us a question.
What About Cookies?
- Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features and storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.
- The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.

- Promotional Offers: Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of USA Emergency Supply.com customers on our behalf only and only if you have requested to receive this. We do not automatically enroll anyone in marketing information by placing an order or any other means of communication.
