Privacy Policy
What information do we
collect?
- We collect information from you when you register
on the site, place an order, enter a contest or sweepstakes, respond to a
survey or communication such as e-mail, or participate in another site
feature.
- When ordering or registering, we may ask you for
your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, credit card
information or other information. You may, however, visit our site
anonymously.
- We also collect information about gift recipients
so that we can fulfill the gift purchase. The information we collect about gift
recipients is not used for marketing purposes.
- Like many websites, we use "cookies" to enhance
your experience and gather information about visitors and visits to our
websites. Please refer to the "Do we use 'cookies'?" section below for
information about cookies and how we use them.
How do we use your
information?
We may use the information we collect from you
when you register, purchase products, enter a contest or promotion, respond to
a survey or marketing communication, surf the website, or use certain other
site features in the following ways:
- To personalize your site experience and to allow us
to deliver the type of content and product offerings in which you are most
interested.
- To allow us to better service you in responding to
your customer service requests.
- To quickly process your transactions.
- To administer a contest, promotion, survey or other
site feature.
- If you have opted-in to receive our e-mail
newsletter, we may send you periodic e-mails. If you would no longer like to
receive promotional e-mail from us, please refer to the "How can you opt-out,
remove or modify information you have provided to us?" section below. If you
have not opted-in to receive e-mail newsletters, you will not receive these
e-mails. Visitors who register or participate in other site features such as
marketing programs and 'members-only' content will be given a choice whether
they would like to be on our e-mail list and receive e-mail communications from
us.
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 Michael's Closet. 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.
How can
you opt-out, remove or modify information you have provided to
us?
To modify your e-mail subscriptions, please let us know by
modifying your preferences in the "My Account" section. Please note that due to
email production schedules you may receive any emails already in
production.
To delete all of your online account information from our
database, sign into the "My Account" section of our site and remove your
shipping addresses, billing addresses & payment information. Please note
that we may maintain information about an individual sales transaction in order
to service that transaction and for record keeping.
