Order Forms
Our site uses an order form for customers to request information, products, and services. We collect contact information (like email address), financial information (like account or credit card numbers), and demographic information (like zip code, age, or income level).
- Contact information from the order form is used to ship purchases and/or information about our company. The customer's contact information is also used to get in touch with the visitor when necessary.
- We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
- Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.

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. RADIUS will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. RADIUS stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact RADIUS Toothbrush to request the removal of this information from their database.
Surveys
Our online surveys ask visitors for contact information (like email address) and demographic information (like zip code, age, or income level).

External Links
This site contains links to other sites. radiustoothbrush.com is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.
Security
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.
When our order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry – 128 bit 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 "e;surfing"e;. To learn more about 128 bit SSL, follow this link [www.verisign.com/products/site/index.html].
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 using the contact form.

Children's Guidelines
We care about children and understand that they have special privacy needs. Therefore, we have adopted the following privacy policy regarding children:
- We will NOT collect, use, or distribute to third parties personally identifiable information without prior verifiable parental consent.
- We will NOT give the child access to unmonitored chat rooms, message boards, email accounts, or other services that would give the child the ability to publicly post or otherwise distribute personally identifiable information without prior verifiable parental consent
- When verifiable parental consent is not obtained, we will only use the online contact information (such as email) to:
o Respond directly to the child's request on a one-time basis and not use that information to re-contact the child for other purposes.
o Request the name or online contact information of a parent for the purpose of obtaining verifiable parental consent or providing parental notification.
o Respond more than once directly to a specific request from a child (such as in the case where a child requests a newsletter subscription) and not used to re-contact the child for other purposes. We will use our best efforts to provide parental notification, which will include the nature and intended use as well as an opportunity for the parent to prevent the use of the information and participation in the activity.
- We will NOT entice the child to divulge more information than is needed to participate in any activity, game, or service.
