Use of Cookies

When you visit the BALIZ Web Site, we place a "cookie" on the hard drive of your computer to track your visit to the BALIZ Web Site. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your hard drive through your web browser that can only be read by the web site that placed the cookie on your hard drive. The cookie allows BALIZ to track your visit to the BALIZ Web Site.

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies. However, on most web browsers you may change this setting to have your web browser either:
(1) notify you prior to a web site placing a cookie on your hard drive so that you can decide whether or not to accept the cookie; or
(2) automatically prevent the placing of a cookie on your hard drive. It should be noted that if cookies are not accepted, you will not be able to access a number of web pages and if you choose not to accept the cookies placed on your hard drive by BALIZ, you will not be able to access a number of web pages found on the BALIZ Web Site.

Security

BALIZ endeavors to provide a secure environment in which you can provide and obtain access to information about you. BALIZ has security measures in place to prevent the modification, misuse, loss or misappropriation of information about you, including the provision of a secure environment in which the information is stored, providing you with an option to use encryption technology when transmitting orders to BALIZ and controlling access to such information by parties external to BALIZ.

Another security measure used by BALIZ is that we do not permanently store your credit card information on our computer system. In fact, BALIZ only keeps paper records of your credit card information so that such information is not stored online. You can entirely avoid providing your credit card information online by phoning BALIZ and providing your credit card information to an individual who will enter it into our paper records. In addition, we offer you the option to pay for products and services using cheque or money order so that your credit card information is never provided to us.
