Privacy
When interacting with the various features at our site,
you may provide us with personal information. For example,
when you place orders at our site, you will also be asked
to provide a credit card number and expiration date. In
addition, when you browse our site, the choices you make
may provide information concerning your interests. You may
also wish to send us e-mail with your personal comments
on the site or our services. Or you may decide to participate
in an online discussion.
With the exception
of certain limited and clearly stated exceptions more particularly
described below, we do not share with third parties any
personal information you provide to us. By "personal
information" we mean information that can be used by
someone to identify or contact you, such as your name, e-mail
address, or mailing address. By "third parties"
we mean anyone who is not directly involved in owning or
operating the chikii.com Site, or in the processing, payment,
or fulfillment of your order.
We use personal
information you provide to process orders, to notify you
of the status of orders, and for other purposes specific
to features of our Site where we ask you for personal information.
Each of our employees abides by our privacy policy, and
only authorized employees have access to our customers'
personal information. Our vendors that assist in the ordering
and fulfillment process have also agreed to respect your
privacy; however it is your responsibility to view the terms
and privacy information listed on those sites.
In addition,
unless you prefer that we not contact you in the future,
we may use your e-mail address, for example, to notify you
about new services or products we are offering, and new
features at our Site. If you would prefer not to receive
these e-mails from us, simply send an e-mail to info@chikii.com
with your request.
To measure our
visitors' interest in and use of various areas of our Site,
including any advertising, we may rely upon aggregate information
-- which is information that does not identify you. With
this aggregate information, we may undertake statistical
and other summary analyses of our visitors' behavior and
characteristics. Although we may share this aggregate information
with third parties, please rest assured that no information
we provide to third parties will allow anyone to identify
you, or determine anything personal about you.
By using our
web site, you consent to our collection and use of information,
in accordance with this privacy policy and terms of use.
We may in the future decide to change our privacy policy.
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post
the changes on this page, so that you may always be aware
of what information we collect, how we use it, and the circumstances
under which we disclose it. Any changes in our privacy policy
will only affect information you provide after the changed
policy becomes effective.
Updates,
Corrections, Or Deletions of Your Personal Information
Upon your request, and to the extent your request does not
compromise our privacy or security policies, we will update
and correct personal information you have previously provided
to us. In addition, if you request, we will use commercially
reasonable efforts to remove your name and personal information
from our database. Please understand, however, that it may
be impossible to remove this information completely, due
to backups and records of deletions. If you wish to update
your information, or to remove your name from our database,
simply send an e-mail to info@chikii.com with this request.
Cookies
Unless you have chosen to disable it, your Internet web
browser has a feature called a "cookie." Cookies
are small text files that a web site can use to recognize
repeat users, to facilitate the user's ongoing access to
and use of the site, and to compile aggregate data to improve
the site and focus advertising. Cookies work as follows:
a web site will send a cookie to your browser that uniquely
associates your computer with information the site can store
for you. Your browser places the cookie in its cookie file.
When you next access that site on your computer, the site
recognizes the cookie, and makes the stored information
available to you. We may use cookies to provide you with
certain features at our site, such as holding items you
put in your shopping cart between visits, and to help us
better understand and respond to our visitors' interests
and preferences. If you do not want us to use cookies to
collect this information, most browsers allow you to disable
the cookie feature. Please keep in mind, though, that cookies
may be necessary to provide you with certain features at
the site. Just as with other information, unless specifically
notes, we do not share with third parties any personal information
provided through the use of cookies.
Security
We have security control systems designed to ensure that
your personal information, and particularly your credit
card information, remains safe and private. When you place
orders at our site, and provide your credit card number
and other credit card information, we use Secure Sockets
Layer ("SSL") technology. SSL technology encrypts
the information you send -- scrambling it -- so that it
is virtually impossible to decipher and read in transit.
Our SSL technology is currently the industry standard.
Your browser
will let you know when it is in "secure" mode.
Rather than the standard "http" term, the Internet
address will begin with "https", with the "s"
standing for secure. In addition, most browsers in secure
mode display a blue line along the top of the browser window.
If you prefer
not to transmit your card information over the Internet,
you may telephone or fax us the information. Simply record
or print out your order information, and then click on “contact”
in the “customer service” section to obtain
the phone number to call us for further instructions.
All of the personal
information we collect is protected against unauthorized
access and stored on secure servers.
Exceptions
There are a few exceptions to our privacy policy. We may
release or use personal information in connection with legal
proceedings, or in response to a subpoena or court order.
Additionally, our policy only applies to information you
provide to us. You may provide third parties with information
if you, for example, choose to participate in an online
discussion, or click on third-party advertising at our site.
We cannot be responsible for the conduct of these third
parties. They may have policies concerning privacy and the
use of cookies that differ substantially from ours, and
you may receive unsolicited messages due to this conduct.
