| Privacy Policy |
|
Chilton Furniture is committed to respecting your
privacy and recognizing your need for appropriate protection and management of
personally identifiable information you share with us. The purpose of this
privacy policy is to inform you of what personally
identifiable information or personal information we may collect from you when
you visit our web sites, how we use such information, and the choices you have
regarding our use of, and your ability to review and correct, the information.
Collecting Information About You
In general, you can visit many of our web pages without
telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. We
may track the Internet domain address from which people visit us and analyze
this data for trends and statistics, but individual users will remain
anonymous, unless you voluntarily tell us who you are.
There may be times (such as
when you purchase or order a product, subscribe to a service, register to
receive catalogs, or to participate in contests, sweepstakes or promotions,
etc.) at which we ask you to provide certain information about yourself, such
as
your name, shipping/billing address, telephone number, email address, credit
card information, birth date, gender, occupation, personal interests, etc. We
also maintain a record of your online product purchases. Whether or not to
provide such information is completely your own choice. But if you choose not
to provide the information we request, you may be unable to purchase products,
or
access certain services, offers and content on our web
site.
Using Information About You
We use the
personally identifiable information you provide for internal purposes, such as
confirming and tracking your order, subscription or registration, analyzing
trends and statistics, informing you of our new products, services and offers,
and providing you with information from and about Chilton Furniture.
We may contract with companies
or persons to provide certain services including credit card processing,
shipping, data management, promotional services, etc. We call them our Service
Providers. We provide our Service Providers with the information needed for
them
to perform these services. We also ask our Service Providers to confirm that
their privacy practices are consistent with ours.
Editing, Updating, Correcting and Deleting Information About You
We want to communicate with you only if you want to
hear from us. If you prefer not to receive information from us please let us
know by calling us, or by sending us an email using the
information
that we provide you on our Contact Us page. Please
be sure to include
your email address, full name, and specifically what information you do not
want to receive. If you would like to update or correct your email address,
street
address or other personal information with us please contact us the same
way.
Please note that sometimes these requests may take up to 6-8 weeks
to be effective, particularly if we are removing your name from postal
mailings.
In addition, when you purchase from us online or through our catalogs, or when
you choose to enter a sweepstakes or other promotion, we may need to contact
you via phone, email or mail to address questions or issues specific to your
order, entry, etc., even if you have opted to not receive communications.
Cookies
Our web sites use "cookies." A
cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server
and stored on your computer's hard drive. Generally, we use cookies to remind
us
of who you are, tailor our products and services to suit your personal
interests, and to process your order. You can generally set your browser to not
accept cookies or to notify
you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not
to accept it.
If you choose not to accept cookies, you may be unable to purchase
products,
or
access certain services, offers and content on our web
site.
Security
We use sophisticated
encryption and authentication tools to protect the security of your personal
information that you share with us. Unfortunately, however, no data
transmission
over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we
strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the
security of any information you transmit to or from our web sites, and you do
so
at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we will do our best to
protect its security on our systems.
We urge you to keep your password
in
a safe place and not to divulge it to anyone. Also remember to sign off your
account and close your browser window when you have finished your visit. This
is
to ensure that others cannot access your account, especially if you are sharing
a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place such as
a
library or Internet cafe.
Links to Third Party
Sites
Our web sites may contain links to web sites operated
and
maintained by third parties, over which we have no control. Privacy policies on
such linked sites may be different from our privacy policy. You access such
linked sites at your own risk. You should always read the privacy policy of a
linked site before disclosing any personal information on such
site.
Policy Changes
If we decide to change our
privacy policy in whole or in part, we will inform you by posting a notice on
our web site. Those changes will go into effect on the date posted in the
notice. The new policy will apply to all current and past users of our web site
and will replace any prior policies that are inconsistent. This policy was
posted in October 2005.
