Privacy
Notice Table Of Contents:
Our
Commitment To Privacy
Your
privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide
this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices
you can make about the way your information is collected and used.
To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage
and at every point where personally identifiable information may be
requested.
The
Information We Collect
This
notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the Specialty-Lights.com
website. On some pages, you can order products, make requests, and
register to receive materials. The types of personal information collected
at these pages are:
Name
Address
Email address
Phone number
Credit/Debit Card Information
On some
pages, you can submit information about other people. For example,
if you order a gift online and want it sent directly to the recipient,
you will need to submit the recipient's address. In this circumstance,
the types of personal information collected are:
Name
Address
Phone Number
The
Way We Use Information
We use
the information you provide about yourself when placing an order only
to complete that order. We do not share this information with outside
parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.
We use
the information you provide about someone else when placing an order
only to ship the product and to confirm delivery. We do not share
this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary
to complete that order.
We offer
gift-cards by which you can personalize a product you order for another
person. Information you provide to us to create a gift-card is only
used for that purpose, and it is only disclosed to the person receiving
the gift.
We use
return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses
are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside
parties.
You can
register with our website if you would like to receive our catalog
as well as updates on our new products and services. Information you
submit on our website will not be used for this purpose unless you
fill out the registration form.
We use
non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website
and to share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser
that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website,
or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration
form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify
those individuals.
Finally,
we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided
to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without
also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit
such unrelated uses.
Our
Commitment To Credit Card & Data Security
Yahoo! Shopping uses secure servers to protect your personal information, including your name, address, and credit card information. We use the Stronghold secure server, currently the second-best selling secure server software and, in our opinion, the best product technically. It supports industry-standard 128-bit SSL encryption.
When you enter your credit card number into the order form, it's transmitted across the Internet in an encrypted (scrambled) form and not decoded until we receive it. For added security, we also encrypt the credit card number when it is stored on disk and when we forward it to the merchant.
Shopping online is considered fairly low-risk. According to CNN, "The prevalent opinion is that online credit card use is actually no riskier for consumers than traditional 'low-tech' transactions." You should feel as safe as you would using a credit card in a store or restaurant, if not more so. So relax, and enjoy your shopping experience with Yahoo!.

Our
Commitment To Children's Privacy
Protecting
the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason,
we never collect or maintain information at our website from those
we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured
to attract anyone under 13.
How
You Can Access Or Correct Your Information
You can
access all your personally identifiable information that we collect
online and maintain by clicking on the Yahoo Wallet button found during
the checkout process. We use this procedure to better safeguard your
information.
You can
correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information
by sending us a request that credibly shows error. To protect
your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify
your identity before granting access or making corrections. Third Party Web Beacons
We use third-party web beacons from Yahoo! to help analyze where visitors go and what they do while visiting our website. Yahoo! may also use anonymous information about your visits to this and other websites in order to improve its products and services and provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
