Formaticum LLC (”Formaticum,” “we” or “us”), believes that electronic privacy is crucial for the ongoing success of the Internet. We know you’re concerned about protecting your privacy online and how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. At Formaticum, we treat your personal information (especially payment information) with the highest standards of safety, security, and confidentiality.  Please take a moment to review this Privacy Policy (”Privacy Policy”), which describes how Formaticum collects, uses, and shares such information. 

Information Gathered

We don’t collect personal information without your knowledge. We don’t sell, rent, or give your personal information to unrelated third parties without your prior permission.  This policy explains what information we collect about you and how we use that information. We also outline the choices you have.

Formaticum Store and Subscriptions

By shopping at the Formaticum Store you accept the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.
When you order a product from the Formaticum online store, we need to collect information about you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, e-mail address, home phone number and credit card information.  Your credit card information will be used only as needed to process your transaction. We use your e-mail address as a way to send you a confirmation of your order. If we have a question about your order, we may contact you by e-mail or by phone. For example, we may call you to verify your credit card information on a large purchase. We do this for your protection.

Traffic Data

Each time a visitor comes to the Formaticum site, information is collected to improve the overall quality of our site.  Formaticum collects the visitor’s domain name/IP Address, referral data (e.g., we record the address of the last URL a user visited prior to clicking through to an Varsity site), and browser/platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform).  Formaticum also counts, tracks, and aggregates the visitor’s activity into our analysis of general traffic flow at the Formaticum site (e.g., tracking where traffic comes from and how traffic flows within the sites).

E-mail Services

Any/all e-mail addresses sent to us as the result of correspondence with the consumers of Formaticum will not be used or collected for the purposes of reselling to a third party and will not be added to a bulk e-mailing list.  Formaticum provides users the opportunity to opt-in and opt-out of receiving e-mail communications from us. This is made available during sign-up for our e-mail lists and in e-mail messages delivered from Formaticum. For any list managed by Formaticum, users can use the link in the footer of most e-mail messages to unsubscribe.  Whether you opt in or opt out of receiving communications from Formaticum, we reserve the right to send you administrative messages, service announcements, and other similar communications without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them. This is important in case we need to communicate with you about items such as your account, website maintenance, and other non-promotional matters. From time to time, you may be given an opportunity to indicate your preferences regarding various account settings, communication preferences, or other information related to your account. For example, if you wish to receive additional communications relevant to you, such as alert messages about your favorite content, you will need to elect to receive them. Therefore, please take that opportunity to review and select your preferences carefully.

Sharing and Usage Of Information

Formaticum never shares, sells, or rents any personal information without your permission, unless ordered by a court of law. Information submitted to us is only available to employees managing this information for purposes of contacting you or sending you emails based on your request for information.
