At Athena's Attic, Inc. we respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy
explains how we collect and use your personal information, as well as
the steps we have taken to secure your personal information. By
visiting our Site, you accept the practices described in this Policy.
INFORMATION COLLECTION
Athena's
Attic, Inc. collects information from you in several different ways.
One goal in collecting personal information from you is to provide an
efficient and customized experience. For example, we can use your
personal information to:
(a) help make this Site easier for you to use by not having to enter information more than once.
(b) help you quickly find information, products, and services.
1. Registration and Ordering
Before
ordering products, you must complete an online registration form.
During registration, you will be prompted to provide to us certain
personal information, including but not limited to your name, shipping
and billing address(es), phone number, email address, and credit card
number. These kinds of personal information are used for billing
purposes, to fulfill your orders, to communicate with you about your
order and our site, and for internal marketing purposes. If we
encounter a problem when processing your order, we use the personal
information to contact you.
2. Cookies and Other Technology
Like
many sites, this Site employs cookies and web beacons (also known as
clear GIF technology or "action tags") to speed your navigation of the
Site, recognize you and your access privileges, and track your Site
usage.
Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored as
text files by your Internet browser on your computer's hard drive. Most
Internet browsers are initially set to accept cookies. We use cookies
to enable you to select products, place them in an online shopping
cart, and to purchase those products. We keep a record of your browsing
activity and purchase. This site’s cookies do not and cannot infiltrate
a user’s hard drive to gather a user’s confidential information. Our
cookies are not "spyware."
Web beacons assist in delivering cookies
and help us determine whether a web page on this Site has been viewed
and, if so, how many times.
3. Log Files
As is true
of most web sites, the Site server automatically recognizes the
Internet URL from which you access this Site. We may also log your
Internet protocol ("IP") address, Internet service provider, and
date/time stamp for system administration, order verification, internal
marketing, and system troubleshooting purposes.
INFORMATION USE AND DISCLOSURE
1. Internal Use
Athena's
Attic, Inc. uses your personal information to process your order and
provide you with customer service. We may internally use your personal
information to improve our Site's content and layout, to improve our
outreach and for our own marketing efforts (including marketing our
services and products to you), and to determine general marketplace
information about visitors to this Site.
2. Communications With You
We
will use your personal information to communicate with you about our
site and your orders and deliveries. Also, we may send you a
confirmation email when you register with us. We may send you a
service-related announcement on the rare occasions when it is necessary
(for example, if we must temporarily suspend our service for
maintenance.) Because we have to communicate with you about orders that
you choose to place, you cannot opt out of receiving emails related to
your orders.
3. External Use
Athena's Attic, Inc.
wants to provide you with excellent service and to offer you a great
selection - we primarily sell merchandise, not information. We do not
sell, rent, trade, license or otherwise disclose your specific personal
information or financial information to anyone, except that:
(a)
As do most catalog and Internet retailers, we sometimes disclose
information to third parties to help them to perform their service. For
example, in order to deliver products to you, we must share some
information. We partner with third parties (such as the U.S. Postal
Service, United Parcel Service, and Federal Express) to ship products
and ensure delivery. In the example of shippers, we provide them some
personally identifiable information such as your name, shipping
address, email, and phone number.
(b) Similarly, to help you
buy products and provide customer service to you, we must provide your
credit card number to financial-services corporations such as
credit-card processors and issuers. When we submit your credit card
number for authorization, we use state-of-the-art data encryption to
protect your information. (More on this below in Data Security.)
(c)
We may share non-personal information (such as the number of daily
visitors to a particular web page, or the size of an order placed on a
certain date) with third parties such as advertising partners. This
information does not directly personally identify you or any user.
DATA SECURITY
Athena's
Attic, Inc. incorporates physical, electronic, and administrative
procedures to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal
information, including Rapid Secure Sockets Layer ("RapidSSL") for all
financial transactions through this Site. We use RapidSSL encryption to
protect your personal information online, and we also take several
steps to protect your personal information in our facilities. Access to
your personal information is restricted. Only employees who need access
to your personal information to perform a specific job are granted
access to your personal information. We believe that their security
procedures are adequate.
While we use industry-standard
precautions to safeguard your personal information, we cannot guarantee
complete security. 100% complete security does not presently exist
anywhere online or offline.
UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
If
Athena's Attic, Inc. changes or updates this Privacy Policy, we will
post changes and updates on this Site so that you will always be aware
of what information we collect, use and disclose. We encourage you to
review this Privacy Policy from time to time so you will know if the
Privacy Policy has been changed or updated. If you have any questions
about the Privacy Policy, please contact us at info@athenasattic.net or
by phone at 678-569-0135. |
