Stitcher's Closet, Inc. PRIVACY STATEMENT
This
privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for Stitcher's Closet, Inc..
Stitcher's Closet, Inc. is the sole owner of the
information collected on this site.
We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways
different from what is disclosed in this statement. Stitcher's Closet, Inc. collects information from our
users at different points on our website.
Order
We request information
from the user on our order form.
Here a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping
address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration
date). This information is used for
billing purposes and to fill customer’s orders. If we have trouble processing an order,
this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on
the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. If a user rejects the cookie, they may
still use our site. The only
drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our
site.
Some of our business partners use cookies on
our site (for example, advertisers).
However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends,
administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP
addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We use an outside shipping company to ship
orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and
services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally
identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites.
Please be aware that we Stitcher's Closet, Inc. are not responsible for the privacy
practices of such other sites. We
encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement
applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to
subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and
email address.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service
for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend’s name and
email address. Stitcher's Closet, Inc. will
automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the
site.
Security
This website takes every precaution to
protect our users’ information.
When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information
is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users
to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social
security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best
encryption software in the industry - SSL.
While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the
bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption to protect
sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect
user-information off-line. All of
our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is
restricted in our offices. Only
employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our
billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to
personally identifiable information.
Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave
their desk. When they return, they
must re-enter their password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new
policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the
importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers’
information is protected. Finally,
the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a
secure environment.
If you have any questions about the security
at our website, you can send an email to security@stitcherscloset.com.
Special
Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to
verify password and username. Established members may receive
information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of
respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these
types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Correction/Updating Personal
Information:
If a user’s personally identifiable
information changes (such as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our
service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that
user’s personal data provided to us.
This can usually be done at the member information page or by emailing our Customer Support.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are
given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their information used for purposes
not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the
information. For example, our order
form has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but don’t
want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our
newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving
these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email
or email us at support@stitcherscloset.com
Users of our site are always notified when
their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an
informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require an
outside party, or not.
