Miss Katie's, Inc. Privacy Policy

Our Web Site Privacy Policy

We want you to know how we collect, use and protect information about our online guests. This privacy policy will tell you:

• What information we collect
• How we may share information
• How you can limit our sharing of information

What information about guests do we collect?

Information You Give Us

We receive and may store any information you enter on our Web site or give to our Web site in any other way. For example, we collect information you provide when you place an order, register with us, send us an e–mail or call us. This information may include:

• your name
• your mailing address
• you’re e–mail address
• your phone number
• your credit card number

along with any other personal or preference information you provide to us.

It may also include information you submit about other people; for example, the name and address of a gift recipient.

Automatic Information

We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our Web site. For example, we use "cookies" like many other Web sites. Through "cookies" we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses our Web sites. There are utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we cannot provide you with a personalized experience or certain services at our Web sites if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.

What are "Cookies" and how do we use them?

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser. Cookies allow us to provide features to make your shopping experience easier and more pleasant such as purchasing and storage of items in your shopping bag between visits.

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 some of our Web sites' best features, so we recommend that you leave them turned on.

Service Providers

Our Web sites may also share information with companies that provide support services to us (such as a printer, mailing house or web host) or that help us market our products and services. These companies may need information about you in order to perform their functions. These companies are not authorized to use the information we share with them for any other purpose.

Protection of our Web sites and Others

We may disclose information you provide to our Web site when we believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law; to enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property or safety of our Web site, our users or others.

Business Transfers

If some or all of the business assets of our Web site are sold or transferred, we generally would transfer the corresponding information regarding our guests. We also may retain a copy of that guest information.


More Information

Please call 1–877-981-2116 if you have further questions.

What about links to and from other Web sites?

Our Web site may offer links to other sites. Other sites have their own policies regarding privacy. If you visit one of these sites, you may want to review the privacy policy on that site. In addition, you may have linked to our Web site through another site. For example, in certain cases you may have linked to misskaties.com through banner advertising on another site. In such cases the site you linked from may collect information from people who click on the banner or link. You may want to refer to the privacy policies on those sites to see how they collect and use this information.

Application of this Privacy Policy

This privacy policy applies to all information collected or submitted on our Web site.

Your Consent

By using our Web site, you consent to our use of guest information as described in this online privacy policy. We may change or add to this privacy policy so we encourage you to review it periodically.

Security

Our Commitment to Data Security

We have appropriate physical, electronic and procedural security safeguards to protect and secure the information we collect.

Secure Sockets Layering (SSL)

Our Web site uses Secure Sockets Layering (SSL) to encrypt your personal credit information, including your credit card number, before it travels over the Internet. SSL technology is the industry standard for secure online transactions. Because we use SSL, placing an order online at our Web site is just as safe as giving your credit card number over the phone.

Safe Shopping Guarantee

Our security measures are designed to prevent anyone from stealing and using your credit card number. In addition, consumer protection laws protect you against the unauthorized use of your credit card. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, if your credit card is used without your authorization, your liability for those fraudulent charges cannot exceed $50. So, if someone steals your credit card or your credit card number, your liability is limited to $50 no matter how much the thief charges to your account. If your credit card provider does hold you liable for any part of this $50, we will cover the entire liability for you, up to the full $50.

We will cover this liability only if the unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made at our Web site while using the secure server. In the event of unauthorized use of your credit card, you must notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures.
