PETITE PALATE PRIVACY POLICY
Our
Commitment to Privacy
We respect the privacy of your information. We provide this explanation about our
online information practices as a show of our commitment to protect your
privacy.
We do not presently intend to sell or rent personally-identifying
information collected during your use of our Website. However, if we choose to transfer your
personally-identifying information, we will notify you at the time of data
collection or transfer if your personally-identifying information will be
shared with a third party. You
will always have the option of not permitting the transfer by not using the
particular services or not participating in the promotion or contests for which
the information is collected or shared.
The
Information We Collect
We may ask you for personally-identifying information
at other times, such as if you enter into a promotion, communicate with us, or
complete a survey. If you opt-in to receive information regarding a promotion, you
give us your permission to share your name and e-mail address with the third
party offering the promotion.
In addition, we automatically gather general
statistical information about our Website and visitors, such as IP addresses,
browsers, pages viewed, number of visitors, goods and services purchased, etc.,
but in doing so we do not reference you by individual name, e-mail address,
home address, or telephone number.
We use this data in the aggregate to determine how much our customers
use parts of our site so we can improve our site. We may provide this statistical information to third
parties, but when we do so we do not provide personally-identifying information
without your permission.
As part of our service, we use cookies to store and
sometimes track information about you.
A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a
web server and stored on your computerŐs hard drive. Generally, we use cookies to remind us who you are and
enable us to access your account information so you do not have to re-enter it;
gather statistical information about usage by registered or unregistered users,
research visiting patterns, and help target advertisements based on user
interests; assist our retail partners track visits and process orders; and
track progress and participation in promotions. In some instances, our retail
partners and advertisers appearing at our site may use their own cookies. Preference and option configurations in
your browser determine if and how a cookie will be accepted. You can change those configurations on
your computer if you desire. By
changing your preferences, you can accept all cookies, you can be notified when
a cookie is set, or you can reject all cookies. If you do so and cookies are disabled, you may be required
to re-enter your information more often and certain features of our site may be
unavailable.
The
Way We Use Information
We use your personally-identifying information to
improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze site
usage, to improve our content and product offerings and to customize our siteŐs
content, layout, and services.
We may use your information to deliver information to
you that, in some cases, is targeted to your interests, such as targeted
banners, new services and promotions. We may ask you to provide us voluntarily with additional
information regarding your personal or business interests, experience or
requests, all of which we may use to customize our service for you.
We use your e-mail address, your mailing address, and
phone number to contact you regarding administrative notices, new product
offerings and communications relevant to your use of the site. We will not send you promotions or
announcements unless you give us permission to do so.
If you place a request for products or services, we
use information to ship your order; if the products or services are from a
retail partner, we may provide your relevant information to that retailer for
purposes of the transaction. If you establish a credit account with us or our
providers, we collect additional information, including billing information,
credit card number and expiration date, and tracking information from checks or
money orders.
We may also use or disclose information to resolve
disputes, investigate problems, or enforce our User Agreement. At times, we may review status or
activity of multiple users to do so. We may disclose or access information whenever we believe in
good faith that the law so requires or if we otherwise consider it necessary to
do so to maintain service and improve our products and services.
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with
our server, to manage our Website and to enhance our site based on the usage
pattern data we receive.
Security
We employ reasonable and current security methods to
prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure correct use of
information. No data transmission
over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be perfectly
secure. As a result, while we try
to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or guarantee the
security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Children
Under 13
We have no way of distinguishing the age of individuals who access our Website, and so we carry out the same Privacy Policy for individuals of all ages. If a child has provided us with personally-identifying information without parental or guardian consent, the parent or guardian should contact us to remove the information and opt out of promotional opportunities.
Parent age data may be collected to comply with COPPA
regulations. Our Website is not
intended for audiences under 13 years of age.
Third
Party Practices
The Privacy Policy of an advertiser or promotional
service appearing at our site may differ from ours. We encourage you to read that policy before responding to the
offer.
Changes
to Our Policy
Any changes to our Privacy Policy will be
communicated through our Website at least 30 days in advance of its effective
date. Information collected before
changes are made will be secured according to the previous Privacy Policy.
Your
Consent
By using our Website, you consent to the collection
and use of this information in the manner we describe.
