Introduction
The purpose of the Privacy Policy of Safety Shield, Inc. is to demonstrate our commitment to the privacy and protection of your information. This privacy statement covers the Web pages belonging to Safety Shield, Inc. It does not cover the privacy policies of Safety Shield affiliates.

At Safety Shield, privacy on the Internet means that Safety Shield informs you how we use any personally identifiable information that is submitted to us online; Safety Shield maintains confidentiality and security safeguards for personally identifiable information; and you have control over the personally identifiable information you decide to submit to Safety Shield .

Personally Identifiable Information and the Safety Shield Web site
When you visit the Safety Shield website, you have the opportunity to contact Safety Shield online. You may ask a question, learn about a product, or to ask for help with a product you already have. If you choose to contact Safety Shield online, you will find that our online forms ask for common types of personally identifiable information, such as name, phone number, e-mail address, or product serial number. We ask for this information in order to provide you with accurate information.

Safety Shield maintains the information it receives online in strict confidence. Information you submit to Safety Shield is not sold to or shared with third parties, except to our agents and partners.

Safety Shield reserves the right to notify its customers about administrative matters that pertain to their Safety Shield accounts. When required by law, Safety Shield will share information with government agencies.
