Disposable e-mail addressing (DEA) refers to an alternative way of sharing and managing e-mail addressing. DEA aims to set up a new, unique e-mail address for every contact or entity, making a point-to-point connection between the sender and the recipient. Subsequently, if anyone compromises the address or utilises it in connection with any e-mail abuse, the address-owner can easily cancel (or "dispose" of) it without affecting any other contact. Following the cancellation or replacement of a disposable e-mail address, the (ex-)owner need notify no more than one person/contact of the change.

ProductPals.com uses information that we collect from our visitors and customers to personalize and improve your visit and shopping experience at the Site. We gather the following types of information:

Information You Give to Us: We Collect Personal Information that is provided by Site users. "Personal Information" includes your name, address, telephone number, Location information, e-mail address, date of birth, IP address and the last four digits of your Social Security number. Personal Information is collected when you establish an account with us, place an order on the Site, participate in a contest, sweepstakes or on-line survey, or when you communicate with any of our departments such as customer service, sales or technical services through the Site, telephone, mail or fax. In some instances, we may obtain other people’s names and email addresses that you may choose to provide as part of our "email a friend" feature.

Throughout ProductPals.com’s years of operation, we have developed relationships with our customers based on respect and integrity. We're aware of the trust and confidence you demonstrate when you visit the Site and provide us with information. This Privacy Notice is posted to demonstrate our leadership in online security and customer service practices. We treat your information with the same honesty and sensitivity that we have displayed throughout our company's history.

1.  Don't reveal passwords to others

• Keep your passwords hidden from friends or family members (especially children) who could pass them on to other less trustworthy individuals.
• Be careful with password recovery questions (i.e. "What was your mother's maiden name?") Don't reveal these answers to others and don't choose questions with answers that are freely available on the Web.

2.  Protect any recorded passwords

• Be careful where you store the passwords that you record or write down.
• Don't store passwords on a file in your computer, because criminals will look there first.
• Don't carry passwords around in your wallet or hide them under your keyboard.
• Don't leave a record of your passwords anywhere that you would not leave information that the passwords protect.

3.  Never provide your password over e-mail or in response to an e-mail request

• Any e-mail message that requests your password or requests that you to go to a Web site to verify your password is almost certainly a fraud.
• This includes requests from trusted companies or individuals. E-mail can be intercepted in transit, and e-mail messages that request information might not be from the senders they claim.
• Internet "phishing" scams use fraudulent e-mail messages to entice you to reveal your user names and passwords, steal your identity, and more. Learn more about phishing scams and how to deal with online fraud.

4.  Do not type passwords on computers that you do not control

• Computers such as those in Internet cafes, computer labs, shared systems, kiosk systems, conferences, and airport lounges should be considered unsafe for any personal use other than anonymous Internet browsing.
• Do not use these computers to visit chat rooms, check online e-mail, bank balances, business mail, or any other accounts that requires a user name and password.
• Criminals can purchase keystroke logging devices for very little money and they take only a few moments to install. With these devices malicious users can gather information typed on a computer from across the Internet—your passwords and pass phrases are worth as much as the information that they protect.

5.  Use more than one password

• Use different passwords for different Web sites and services.
• If any one of the computers or online systems using a particular password is compromised, all of your other information protected by that same password should be considered compromised as well.
