Use of Cookies
The RunWorldwide.com web site use cookies to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize RunWorldwide.com pages, or register with RunWorldwide.com site or services, a cookie helps RunWorldwide.com to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same RunWorldwide.com web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the RunWorldwide.com features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies, if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you will not be able to order products from RunWorldwide.com on our web site and may not experience the interactive features of the RunWorldwide.com web sites you visit.
Security of Your Personal Information
RunWorldwide.com secures your sensitive personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. RunWorldwide.com secures the sensitive personal information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
