The entity storing your personal information is Admiral Envelope Manufacturing Co., Inc., located at 214 Sullivan Street, Second Floor, New York, NY 10012, telephone number (212) 473-5060.


How We Handle Your Information
Management, staff and contractors of Admiral Envelope Manufacturing Co., Inc. are expected to treat your personal information with the highest level of professionalism and respect. We take constant precaution to protect the privacy and security of the personal information you share with us, and recognize the responsibility that comes with your entrusting your information to us. We have taken steps throughout our organization to demonstrate this recognition. Internally, your information is only made accessible on a need-to-know basis, and accesses to your personal information are carefully logged. All staff and contractors are contractually obligated to safeguard the privacy and security of your personal information. Access is not granted until such contracts are completed. Your personal information is secured using encrypted passwords and connections (SSL between you and us, SPI/NAT firewalls between your stored information and the internet, and 3DES/SHA VPNs internally), file permissioning, up-to-date program code and physically secured servers. We may move the storage location of your information between servers owned and managed by us and/or by contracted third parties. In all cases, we will require the same standards and employ the same practices as we have described above to safeguard your personal information. These steps represent only some of the steps taken on our part to defend your privacy and security. We will continue to review our procedures and practices on a regular basis to maintain these levels of privacy and security.

Admiral Envelope Manufacturing Co., Inc. defines your personal information as any information that either independently or collectively can be used to determine your individual identity, such as your name, your social security number, your credit card information, your telephone number, your mailing, shipping, billing or email address, or any similar or related information.

In the course of your visit to this site, we also collect what we define as 'non-personal information', or information that has practical statistical or marketing use, but which can not be used to determine your individual identity, such as information regarding the quality and nature of your computer's connection to our server, its IP address, operating system platform, browser application, cookie settings, and other similar environmental variables. We may also conduct statistical studies of our users' business type, and other similar information (always with no reference to personally identifying information). We also collect information regarding the activity of our servers, such as bandwidth, frequency and duration of page serves, and other similar information. We use this information internally and might potentially share this information with business partners externally, to improve the quality of the products and services we offer. All non-personal information is collected and stored in aggregate form with no connection or reference to personally identifying information.

We will only disclose personally identifiable information to third parties when the person submitting the information authorizes us to do so, sharing the information is a necessary operation of the site (i.e. to confirm your shipping address with the U.S. Postal Service, or to process credit card information), or we are required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to conform to the edicts of the law, to comply with legal process served on Admiral Envelope Manufacturing Co., Inc. or our website, to protect and defend the rights or property of Admiral Envelope Manufacturing Co., Inc., our website or the visitors to our website, or to act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of visitors to the site or the public.


How We Use Sessions & Cookies
This website uses both session and cookie technologies to provide the personalized services offered herein. Our shopping cart is an example of such a service. Each time you open a browser window and visit our website, your visit is assigned a randomly generated session id. Your session ends when you close the browser window in which you are visiting our site. This same id is stored on our server, and remains there until the server performs its own periodic housecleaning. Our site uses sessions to hold the values you assign to variables as you interact with the site during your visit, so that these values can be referenced as you move from one page of the site to the next. We do not log, or in any way track, session information.

Sessions require a bidirectional exchange of information. This communication loop is closed by combining the use of sessions with cookies. When you visit our website and initiate a session, a cookie containing the session id, a 'session cookie', is placed on the hard drive of your computer. A cookie is nothing more than a very simple text file. Cookies can only be placed in a folder created and maintained by your web browser application and your operating system. Cookies placed inside this folder can not access files located elsewhere on your computer. Our session cookies expire immediately when you close the browser window in which you are visiting our site. Cookies lasting beyond a session are called persistent cookies. Our site only places persistent cookies when you indicate that you want the site to 'remember you' when you return for subsequent visits. Our persistent cookies will expire and become unuseable if you do not revisit for some time.

Cookies are frequently distrusted for being insecure. Our cookie applications actually enhance the security of your interaction with our site; their use reduces the amount of information needing to pass over the network between you and us, and permits for securer methods of carrying that information when it does need to be passed. Cookies are also viewed as being invasive. Cookies are similarly invasive as your telephone; they provide a route for irresponsible parties to reach you. When cookies are misused, as is the case when sites place cookies to track advertising, the activity threatens the trust that must be established to advance internet-based interaction. Our site does not participate in such activities; our use of cookies is limited to the improvement of your experience with our site. Your browser application provides you with full control over the cookies sent to it. If you have your browser (or firewall utility) set to refuse cookies, we hope you will consider adding our site to your browser's exceptions list, so that you can take the fullest advantage of the features and services our site offers. While much of our site may be accessible to you without your browser accepting our cookies, many features of our site will not function without cookie acceptance.
