At Marine Chemist Service (MCS), your privacy is very important. This Privacy Policy states the terms under which information about you is collected and used when accessing www.MarineChemist.com (or www.MarineChemist.net which automatically links to the same site). If you have any questions or concerns regarding this statement, please contact MCS at CustomerService@MarineChemist.com.

Marine Chemist Service collects information from its users at several different places on their website-such as when ordering products, registering for class and emailing through their online contact form. MCS does not sell or rent this information to others. Instead, the collected information is used for the purposes in which it was voluntarily submitted. MCS may also notify customers periodically via email with technical information pertinent to their common interests, special offers and sales/discounted merchandise. If you do not wish to be included in these notifications, please contact MCS at CustomerService@MarineChemist.com.

Marine Chemist Service requests information from the user on their order form. Here a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's orders. If MCS has trouble processing an order, the contact information is used to get in touch with the user.

Marine Chemist Service does not use cookies on its web site (i.e. small files stored on other computers' hard drives used to track and target interests). Consequently, MCS does NOT store any personally identifiable information with cookies.

This web site contains links to other sites which are usually identified by opening in a new window. Please note that the privacy policies of other sites may differ from that of Marine Chemist Service. Obviously, MCS has no control over and, thus, is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. MCS encourages its users to read the privacy policy of every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by this web site.

This web site takes every precaution to protect its users' information. When users submit sensitive information via this web site, the information is protected both online and off-line. Communication through email, however, is not necessarily secure on this or any web site and is subject to all the risks commonly associated with electronic communication.

When Marine Chemist Service order forms ask users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and expiration date), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best 128-bit encryption software in the industry - Secure Socket Layer (SSL). While on a secure page such as the order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked or open, when you are just 'surfing'.

Marine Chemist Service does not retain any sensitive information on their web servers or in an electronic customer file.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Statement, the practices of Marine Chemist Service's site or service, or any other dealings with Marine Chemist Service, please contact:
