Art
in Bottles respects the privacy concerns of visitors and customers and takes
the following precautions to safeguard the confidentiality of information you
may provide as you use Art in Bottles website.
Information We Collect
Art
in Bottles uses the internet to communicate with customers about our products,
including information about advertising policies and permissions requests. Art
in Bottles does not collect personal information except when you specifically
and knowingly provide it. For example, if you are using the site to purchase
one or more of our products, you will be asked to supply your name, address,
email address, and telephone number information. This information will be used
by Art in Bottles to fulfill your specific transaction request.
Information We Disclose
We
may disclose information you furnish to selected companies that perform
services for us. All of these companies act on our behalf and are obligated to
keep the information confidential and use it to provide only the services we
have asked them to perform. For example, your PayPal information must be
released to PayPal to confirm payment for products purchased on this site; your
address is released to the delivery service to deliver products that you order;
and we share order information with third-party affiliates that help us provide
customer service. And Art in Bottles may disclose personal information in
special cases, such as when we believe real harm might be caused were we not to
do so.
Information Security
Personal
information gathered through the site is secure and is maintained in a manner
consistent with current industry standards. In order to serve you most
efficiently, payment transactions and order fulfillment are handled by PayPal
and USPS, UPS or FedEx. They receive only the information needed to verify and
authorize your payment information and to process and ship your order.
Unfortunately, no data transmitted over the internet can be guaranteed to be
perfectly secure.
Cookies
We
do not use cookies to track the activity of anyone on our site except in the
shopping cart facility offered on our book pages. To operate, the shopping cart
places a line of text into your local cookies.txt file and then makes reference
to it (and updates it) during the course of your visit. Cookie information is
stored on your computer, not on our servers. The shopping cart accesses that
information to allow you to collect items in your personal shopping cart,
remove them, change them, and add to them indefinitely without making a
purchase. The shopping cart keeps track of your selections and calculates
charges. The information stored in cookies is never collected, reviewed, or in
any way made use of by us except in the automated processing of your submitted
order. Two hours after the cookies are created, they are erased from your local
file by your browser. At any time during your shopping cart order you can quit
the process.

This
site contains hypertext links to websites of independent third parties. Art in
Bottles is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any of
these other websites, including any that might indicate a special relationship
or affiliation with Art in Bottles. Art in Bottles does not disclose unique
identifiers to those responsible for the linked sites. These sites may,
however, collect personal information from you when you link to them without
being subject to control by Art in Bottles. To protect your privacy, review the
privacy policies of the sites you visit.
