The New Tribalectic website is here!
After almost a year of development we are proud to launch the New Tribalectic website.
Our new website includes a whole new online community as well as a bigger and much better
Body Jewelry Catalog. The new site has way too many features to mention here so please
check it out and send us your feedback! You will continue to be able to use this
old Tribalectic website for information and shopping until at least the end of February, 2008.

If you feel that this company is not abiding by its posted privacy policy,
you should contact Drew Michael by email drew@tribalectic.com.
Information Collection and Use
Tribalectic is the sole owner of the information collected on this site.We will not sell,
share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this
statement. Tribalectic collects information from our users at several different points
on our website.
Registration
In order to use this website, some users must first complete a registration
form. During registration a user is required to give their contact information
(such as name and email address). This information is used to contact the user
about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest.It is optional
for the user to provide demographic information and unique identifiers, but encouraged
so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site.
Order
We request information from the user on our 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 isused for billing purposes and to
fill customer’s orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information
is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about
the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information
while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For
instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more
than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still
use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our
site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the
experience on our site.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement, and
gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to
personally identifiable information.
Sharing
While we do not right now, we may in the future share aggregated demographic information
with our partners and advertisers. If we decide to do this, we will post information in
this privacy policy. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any
individual person.
We use a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. This
company does not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any
secondary purposes.
We may, in the future, partner with another party to provide specific services. When the
user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that
is necessary for the third party to provide these services. If we decide to partner with
other parties, information will be posted in this statement.
These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the
purpose of providing these services.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible
for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when
they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that
collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to
information collected by this Web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as
name and email address.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests.
Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore
has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include
contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such
as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award
prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use
and satisfaction of this site.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask
them for the friend’s name and email address. Tribalectic will automatically send the
friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. Tribalectic stores this
information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact
Tribalectic at www.tribalectic.com to request
the removal of this information from their database.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit
sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and
off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as
credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best
encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our 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’.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our
offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example,
our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally
identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when
they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain
access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security
and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our
employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what
they can do to ensure our customers’ information is protected. Finally, the servers that
we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment, behind a
locked cage.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to
drew@tribalectic.com.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username. Established
members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a
newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not
receive these types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code), or if a
user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update
or remove that user’s personal data provided to us. This can usually be done at the
member information page or by emailing our Customer Support.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their information used for
purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the information.
For example, our order form has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism so users who buy a product from us,
but don’t want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from our
partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the
subject line in the email or email us at
drew@tribalectic.com.
Users of our site are always notified when their information is being collected by any
outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether they
should proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage so
our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under
circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was
collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether
or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in
accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
