Privacy and Security Notice
Mommies & Poppies adheres to the highest standards in assuring our
customers' privacy and information security. All information,
including transactions, customer accounts, and all correspondence, are
handled with discretion and care.
This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting our web site,
you are accepting the practices described in this policy.
Mommies & Poppies captures certain anonymous information from our
visitors. This may include such information as your Internet Service
Provider's name (e.g. AOL), paths taken through a given site, and
'click stream' activity (such as when you click on a banner
advertisement). No information that could identify you as an
individual is collected in this manner.
Cookies
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your
computer's hard drive through your web browser to enable our systems
to recognize your browser and to provide certain features to our site
or to enhance and enable your shopping experience. For example, when
you put items in your shopping cart, this information is temporarily
stored in a cookie.
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. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage
of our most unique and interesting features, and we recommend that you
leave them turned on.
General Information
Information that is collected through the use of cookies and
standard web server log files may be used to enhance the content of
our site. This provides you with a better experience in the future,
responds to customer inquiries and suggestions, or provides special
offers to you.
We value your privacy and the security of your information. We
utilize firewalls, secure access storage facilities and other means to
protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of your personal
information.
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 only as described below.
- Agents: We may employ other companies and individuals to perform
functions on our behalf. Examples include order fulfillment, package
delivery, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive
information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing
assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer
service. They have access to personal information needed to perform
their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
- Protection of Mommies & Poppies and Others: We release account and
other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to
comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other
agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Mommies &
Poppies, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information
with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit
risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling,
renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable
information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the
commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.
Information Security
Our Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security software is the industry
standard and among the best available today for securing online
commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information,
including credit card number, name, and address so that it cannot be
read as the information travels over the Internet.
E-mail Messages and Sharing Information
You will not receive e-mail from Mommies & Poppies (other than
customer service e-mail related to a particular order or request of
yours) unless you specifically subscribe to our newsletter. If you do
subscribe, and later change your mind, you can always unsubscribe from
future mailings.
We are not in the business of selling customer information to
others. To that end, we will not make your name, e-mail address, home
address, or any other personal information available to other
companies or individuals.
Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions
If you choose to visit Mommies & Poppies, 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 State of Indiana. If you have any
concern about privacy at Mommies & Poppies, please send us a thorough
description using our feedback form 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.
