KURTIS USA PRIVACY POLICY:
KurtisUSA Privacy Policy
Privacy Statement
KurtisUSA.com respects our customers' right to privacy online and the concerns
of parents for their children visiting our site. We keep detailed customer
information confidential, with a few exceptions noted below. Please read
the following privacy policy to understand how your personal information
will be used and treated as you make use of our online offerings. Please
note that this policy might change from time to time, so you should check
back here periodically.
KurtisUSA encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their
children and to participate in the activities offered on its site. No information
should be submitted to or posted at KurtisUSA.com by guests under 13 years
of age without the consent of their parent or guardian.
Personal Information Privacy
KurtisUSA will take all appropriate steps to keep your personal information
confidential. Those steps include limiting access to client information databases,
communicating this policy statement to all KurtisUSA employees, and establishing
and enforcing penalties for violating this statement.
KurtisUSA will not sell, rent, or give away our customers' personal information to other companies for them to use in selling others' products or services. We do, however, sometimes contract with other companies to market or advertise products or services. We may share customers' e-mail addresses and information with third party sponsors that are working together with KurtisUSA for marketing and promotions. If you would like to make sure that we do not share your e-mail address or other customer information with any third parties, just send an e-mail message to help@KurtisUSA.com and please type "no third parties" in the subject line of your e-mail.
We gather personal information from our customers so we can better develop our relationship with those customers. Occasionally, we seek customer comments on our products and services. These comments allow us to determine which products and services our customers should be made aware of based on their specific needs.
We may communicate with our customers via e-mail or other online delivery
devices only if the customer agrees to receive those communications. Customers
who believe they are receiving our communications in error or no longer want
to receive them, should inform us and we will promptly remove those clients'
names from our mailing lists.
Asking for Your Information
Personal Information is collected primarily by specifically requesting it from
you. Generally this occurs when you register at the site, request a service,
place an order, or enter an online contest or sweepstakes. We will sometimes
ask customers for personal information such as your name, address, e-mail
address, occupation, hobbies and other details. Providing us your information
will simply help us offer products and services that we think you'd like
to hear about. When you choose to give personal information to us over the
Internet that we or our business partners may request, we will endeavor to
inform you how we will use the information. Security - Credit Card Information
We currently use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to safeguard your
information, including your credit card number, during online transactions.
We believe SSL to be a very safe encryption method. You can tell you are using
the Secure Socket Layer encryption when a gold or blue padlock appears in the
corner of your Netscape or Microsoft browser. In the extremely unlikely event
that we ever do suspect a customer's credit card number has been intercepted,
we will immediately notify the customer.
Use of Cookies
Our site uses cookies to count and track site visits anonymously. A cookie
is a small piece of data that many Web sites write to a file on your hard
disk. A cookie can contain data like an ID number used to track what pages
are visited. A cookie cannot by itself be used by a Web site to obtain personal
information about the user or to read information from your computer other
than that which has been voluntarily provided by you or is contained in cookies
given by the same Web site. KurtisUSA only uses cookies to keep track of
items you put into your shopping cart, to tell us whether you have visited
KurtisUSA previously, and to help us determine whether you came to KurtisUSA
from a particular Internet link or banner advertisement. We never save passwords
or credit card information in cookies. The use of cookies is an industry
standard -- you'll find them at most major Web sites. If you prefer not to
receive cookies on KurtisUSA.com, you can set your browser to warn you before
accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to its
presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser.
You do not need to have cookies turned on to use any area of KurtisUSA.com.
