How do we protect
visitor information?
We implement a
variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal
information. Your personal information is contained behind secured
networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons
who have special access rights to such systems, and are required
to keep the information confidential. When you place orders or
access your personal information, we offer the use of a secure
server. All sensitive/credit information you supply is transmitted
via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into
our databases to be only accessed as stated above.
Do we use "cookies"?
Yes. Cookies are
small files that a site or its service provider transfers to
your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow)
that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize
your browser and capture and remember certain information. For
instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the
items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand
your preferences based on previous or current site activity,
which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also
use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic
and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences
and tools in the future.
We may contract
with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding
our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted
to use the information collected on our behalf except to help
us conduct and improve our business.
You can choose
to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent,
or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through
your browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings.
Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help
menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you
turn cookies off, you won't have access to many features that
make your site experience more efficient and some of our services
will not function properly. However, you can still place orders
over the telephone by contacting customer service.
Do we disclose
the information we collect to outside parties?
We do not sell,
trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally
identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice,
except as described below. The term "outside parties"
does not include Owen's Originals Inc.. It also does not include
website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating
our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long
as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
We may also release your information when we believe release
is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies,
or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.
However, non-personally
identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties
for marketing, advertising, or other uses. |
