PRIVACY POLICY
We're Concerned About Privacy
SourceOneGifts.com understands and respects the privacy of its users. As a general policy, no personal information is automatically collected from visitors to its sites. However, certain non-personal information about visitors is recorded by the standard operation of SourceOneGifts.com's Internet servers. Information tracked includes the type of browser being used by the visitor (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system (e.g., Macintosh, Windows) in use by the visitor and the domain name of the visitor's Internet service provider (e.g., America Online, Earthlink). This information helps us to optimize the operation of SourceOneGifts.com. This information is also used to track the number of visitors to the site in an aggregate and non-personally-identifiable form.
SourceOneGifts.com is committed to the protection of the privacy of its customers and website visitors. Currently, our website systems do not automatically capture any personal information identifiable to you, including your e-mail address, unless you specifically give it to us. Financial transactions are encrypted using 128-bit SSL processing.
In order to fulfill your requests or provide you with information that you request it will be necessary at times to ask for certain personal information such as your name and address, telephone number or e-mail address. We may use this information to contact you with questions or information about orders that you may place or to ship products or provide services to you. We also may use this information in our continuing efforts to keep our customers and friends informed about new and exciting products, services and promotions that we offer through e-mail mailings.
SourceOneGifts.com does not engage in the practice of selling our customer lists or customer information to third parties.
We may, from time to time, need to place identification information on your computer to enable you to properly access, display or read our catalogue or other information or to permit information to follow you from page to page (in order to use a virtual shopping cart for example). This information is called "cookies". Also, applications sometimes known as "applets" might be downloaded to your computer to better display the information you requested from our website. We do not use cookies or applets to track your activities once you leave our website. Applets are deleted when you leave our website and you may remove the cookies from your computer at any time. You can set your web browser to notify you if such information is about to be placed on your computer, and choose the option in your web browser to refuse it. If you refuse cookies, our shopping cart will not function.
CHILDREN
SourceOneGifts.com does not solicit sales nor seek to collect identification information about children through its website. If we discover such information, we will delete it. Thus, we knowingly retain no identifiable information about children. However, if a parent believes his/her child has provided us information, simply call us and request us to delete it. In order for us to find the information in our databases, you will need to provide us with the following information which will only be used to search our databases and deliver confirmation to you: parent's name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address (for confirmation); the name of the child (if you suspect a nickname was used, please provide it); if the child shares time at two addresses, you will need to provide us the second address also, along with any e-mail addresses for the child. In order to request deletion of identifiable information that SourceOneGifts.com may have unintentionally collected about your child, please call 410-628-4800. Please inform the service agent that you wish to delete your child's information, and supply the service agent with the necessary information as stated above. Confirmation that information which identifies your child has been deleted will be delivered to you by e-mail, regular mail, or telephone. PLEASE NOTE: deleting your child's information will likely make it impossible for us to notify you or your child in the event of a recall of a product he or she purchased in violation of our policies. So if your child purchased ANYTHING from us in spite of our efforts to prevent it, you may not wish to delete all information. Instead, you may simply want to request us to correct the information by correcting the name in our records to your name rather than your child's. Thank you for helping us protect your children.
Our website contains links to other websites that are not operated or controlled by SourceOneGifts.com. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRIVACY PRACTICES OF, AND USE OF CHILDREN'S PERSONAL INFORMATION BY, WEBSITES THAT WE DON'T OPERATE, and this policy does not apply to linked sites.
In consideration of young users, it is our intention to adhere to the Better Business Bureau's "Children Advertising Review Unit" (CARU) guidelines, including its guidelines on advertising. When you communicate with SourceOneGifts.com, we make every effort to ensure your privacy and safety. As an added precaution, however, we still encourage parents to monitor their child's use of the Internet, and to help us protect their privacy by reminding them never to exchange personal information with this or any other website without the assistance or express written permission of a parent or other responsible adult.
