Krabtree Gifts is firmly committed to our customers’ privacy and security. Your privacy is important to us. Krabtree Gifts does not sell, rent or otherwise distribute personally identifiable user information to outside parties without your permission, except to ensure fulfillment of your order. Any personally identifiable information you give us is held with the utmost care and security and will not be used in ways to which you have not consented.

2. What information does Krabtree Gifts collect and why?

We may collect information needed to contact you later.

• We may request your name, street address, telephone number, email address or other "real world" contact information. We use this information to complete and support your purchases, for internal purposes and to comply with any requirements of law. This information may be disclosed to our staff and to third parties involved in the completion of your transaction and the delivery of your order, to respond to any questions you might have and to provide you with information about specials occurring on the Krabtree Gifts Web site if you have opted-in to receive that information.

We May Collect Purchase Information.

• We may collect information actively generated by the purchase of a product or service, such as a payment method. We use this information to process your order and support your use of the Krabtree Gifts Web site. This information may be disclosed only to our staff and to third parties involved in the completion of your transaction, the delivery of your order or the support of your use of the Krabtree Gifts Web site. We May Collect Navigation and Clickstream Data.
  
• When you browse our Web site, we may gather navigational and clickstream data that shows what pages are visited and how long various features are used. This information will not reveal your identity or be linked to you personally. We use this information to complete and support your purchases, use of the Krabtree Gifts Web site, to comply with any requirements of law and to determine the commissions for our Affiliates. This information may be disclosed only to our staff and to third parties involved in the completion of your transaction, the delivery of your order and the support of your use of the Krabtree Gifts Web site. 3. Under what conditions would Krabtree Gifts disclose collected data.
  
• We may disclose your information if necessary to protect our legal rights, if the information relates to actual or threatened harmful conduct, or if Krabtree Gifts has good faith belief that such action is necessary to (1) conform to the requirements of law or comply with governmental orders, court orders, or legal process served on Krabtree Gifts or (2) to protect and defend the property or rights of Krabtree Gifts, the users of its Web site or the public. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk protection. If Krabtree Gifts should ever file for bankruptcy or merge with another company, we may sell the information you provide to us on the Krabtree Gifts Web site to a third party or share your personal information with the company we merge with.

4. What are cookies? Why do we use them?

Cookies are tiny text files stored on your computer when you visit certain web pages that record your preferences. Krabtree Gifts uses cookies to keep track of what you have in your shopping cart and to remember you when you return to our store. They cannot harm your computer and they do not contain any personal or private information. You must accept cookies to shop at Krabtree Gifts.

5. How do we protect information we collect?

We use secure web pages to collect certain kinds of user information and we store certain kinds of data in encrypted form. We follow reasonable technical and management practices to help protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of data stored on our system. While no computer system is completely secure, we believe the measures implemented by our Web site reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved. Krabtree Gifts's servers use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an encryption technology that works with Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and AOL's browser, so that only Krabtree Gifts can read a customer's personal information.

6. How long do we keep user information?

We generally keep user data on our server or in our archives for as long as we reasonably need it. We may alter this practice according to changing requirements. For example, we may delete some data if needed to free up storage space. We may keep other data for longer periods if the law requires it. In addition, information posted in a public forum could stay in the public domain indefinitely. Data management requests are administered in an orderly manner to the extent feasible and within our direct control. Note: we have greater control over recently collected data than over archived data. Once data is removed from the system and archived, it may not be feasible to accommodate specific requests. In those cases, our general data retention policy applies.

7. Your consent to this policy.

By using the Krabtree Gifts Web site, you agree to this Privacy and Security Policy. This is our entire and exclusive Privacy and Security Policy and it supersedes any earlier version. Our Terms and Conditions take precedence over any conflicting Policy provision. We may change our Privacy and Security Policy by posting a new version of the policy on this page, which it is your responsibility to review frequently.

8. Legal disclaimer.

This Site operates AS-IS and AS-AVAILABLE, without liability of any kind. We are not responsible for events beyond our direct control. This Privacy and Security Policy is governed by Maryland Law, excluding conflicts of law principles. Any legal actions against us must be commenced in Maryland within one year after the claim arose, or be barred.
