What Personal Information About Customers Does DeliriousDeals.net Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually
improve your shopping experience at DeliriousDeals.net. Here are the types of information
we gather.
- Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information
you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. Click
here to see examples of what we collect. You can choose not to provide
certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of
many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes
as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving
our stores, and communicating with you.
- Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types
of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web
sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when
your Web browser accesses DeliriousDeals.net. Click
here to see examples of the information we receive. A number of companies offer
utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will
not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at DeliriousDeals.net if
we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
- E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful
and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from
DeliriousDeals.net if your computer supports such capabilities. We also compare
our customer list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to
avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers. If you do not want to
receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your Customer
Communication Preferences.
- Information from Other Sources: We might receive information
about you from other sources and add it to our account information. Click
here to see examples of the information we receive.
What About Cookies?
- Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's
hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your
browser and to provide features such as 1-Click purchasing,
New for You, personalized greetings, and storage of items in your Shopping Cart 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 DeliriousDeals.net's coolest
features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
Does DeliriousDeals.net Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and
we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information
only as described below and with subsidiaries DeliriousDeals.net, Inc. controls that
either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective
as those described in this Privacy Notice.
- Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control: We work closely
with our affiliated businesses. In some cases, such as Marketplace and Auctions
sellers, these businesses operate stores at DeliriousDeals.net or sell offerings
to you at DeliriousDeals.net. In other cases, we operate stores, provide
services, or sell product lines jointly with these businesses. Click
here for some examples of co-branded and joint offerings. You can tell
when a third party is involved in your transactions, and we share customer
information related to those transactions with that third party.
- Third-Party Service Providers: We employ other companies
and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling
orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive
information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance,
providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing
credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to
personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it
for other purposes.
- Promotional Offers: Sometimes we send offers to selected
groups of DeliriousDeals.net customers on behalf of other businesses. When
we do this, we do not give that business your name and address. If you do
not want to receive such offers, please adjust your Customer
Communication Preferences.
- Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business,
we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions,
customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets
but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice
(unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely
event that DeliriousDeals.net, Inc., or substantially all of its assets are acquired,
customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
- Protection of DeliriousDeals.net and Others: We release account
and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to
comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions
of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety
of DeliriousDeals.net, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information
with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk
reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing,
or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers
for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this
Privacy Notice.
- With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will
receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and
you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
- We work to protect the security of your information during transmission
by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information
you input.
- We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming
an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate
credit card company during order processing.
- It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your
password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a
shared computer. Click
here for more information on how to sign off.
