cacaoBooks.com Privacy Notice.
cacaoBooks.com knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will handle it carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting cacaoBooks.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice. What personal information about customers does cacaoBooks.com gather? The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at cacaoBooks.com. Here are the types of information we gather. Information you give us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but in that case you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you. Automatic information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses cacaoBooks.com. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at cacaoBooks.com in case we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist. E-mail communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from cacaoBooks.com, permitted your computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers. If you do not want to receive e-mails or other mails from us, please adjust your customer communication preferences. Information from other sources: For reasons such as improving personalization of our service (for example, providing better product recommendations or special offers that we think will interest you), we might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. We also sometimes receive updated delivery and address information from our shippers or other sources so that we can correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily. Does cacaoBooks.com share the information it receives? INFORMATION ABOUT OUR CUSTOMERS IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR BUSINESS, AND WE ARE NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF SELLING IT TO OTHERS. We share customer information with your consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information. How secure is information about me? We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts the information you input. We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer. What choices do I have? As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of such cacaoBooks.com features. When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records. If you do not want to receive e-mails or other mails from us, please adjust your customer preferences. If you do not want to read conditions of use and other legal notices from us, such as this privacy notice, those notices will still govern your use of cacaoBooks.com, and it is your responsibility to review them for changes. The "Help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Children cacaoBooks.com does not sell products for purchase by children. We sell children's products for purchase by adults. If you are under 18, you may use cacaoBooks.com only with involvement of a parent or guardian. Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions If you choose to visit cacaoBooks.com, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this notice and our conditions of use, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the United Kingdom. If you have any concern about privacy at cacaoBooks.com, please send us a thorough description to contact@cacaobooks.com, and we will try to resolve it. Our business changes constantly. This notice and the conditions of use will change also, and use of information that we gather now is subject to the privacy notice in effect at the time of use. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our Web site frequently to see recent changes. |
