Your privacy & 4GiftGiving

This privacy statement demonstrates our firm commitment to your privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this web site: http://www.4giftgiving.com/

Personal Information

We only request personal information (such as your name, address, and email address) if you choose to purchase some of our products, take part in contests, other promotions or as one of our affiliates. We do not collect or store personal information if you merely browse our Web site.

The information you supply is used only for three purposes:

1. If you pay your order with a credit card, your address information is supplied to your credit card company to verify that it matches the cardholder billing address.
2. After you order, we use the email address you provided to send you a receipt detailing your order.
3. Your email and mailing address may be used periodically by 4GiftGiving.com to make you aware of specials and updates.

This site contains links to other sites. 4giftgiving.com is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.

Cookies

Our secure ordering Web site uses "cookies". A cookie is a unique identifier generated by our shopping cart that "remembers" what was on an order and allows the shopper to resume where he/she left off should there be a problem (such as getting disconnected from your ISP, a browser crash or power failure) before checkout. This cookie expires after a month.

Cookies cannot be used to reference any personal information unless you supply it, and cookies cannot track you once you leave our Web site.

Encryption

To find out if your transaction is guarded by SSL, look for the picture of the unbroken key or closed lock in your browser window (both the Netscape Navigator/Communicator and Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers use SSL). Either indicator means SSL is hard at work. (If you don't see either one, or if you see a broken key or an open lock, that means SSL is definitely not hard at work protecting your transaction.)

The easy way, you can tell if SSL is guarding your transaction is to check the URL of the page you are visiting. It should change from "http" to "https" when processing secure transactions.

You can choose to use secure checkout when shopping in our site. When you select that, you'll notice that the URL will change from

http://www.4giftgiving.com/
to
https://www.4giftgiving.com/
The extra "s" is for "secure site."
