What Personal Information About Customers Does Jivjiv Gather?
The information we receive from our customers helps us to personalize, customize and continually enhance your experience at Jivjiv. Here are the types of information we gather:
Information You Give Us:
We receive and store any information that you choose to enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you.
Automatic Information:
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses our web site.
What about Cookies?
Cookies are special identifiers that we transfer to your computer through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features. The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.
How We Collect Information About You:
You provide most of the information when you search, buy, participate in a contest or questionnaire, or communicate with customer service. For example, you provide information when you search for a product; make an order; communicate with us by phone, e-mail, or otherwise; complete a questionnaire or a contest entry form. As a result of those actions, you might supply us with such information as your name, phone number and credit card information.
Automatically Collected Information:
Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; login; e-mail address; password; computer and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform; purchase history; the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL) click stream to, through, and from our Web site, including date and time; cookie number; and products you viewed or searched for.
Does Jivjiv Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only with partners of Jivjiv Corporation solely for the purpose of conducting our day-to-day business. We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, sending e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Business Transfers:
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores or assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the unlikely event that Jivjiv Corporation or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will be one of the transferred assets.
Protection of Jivjiv Corporation and Others:
We release account and other personal information when we believe such
release to be appropriate or to comply with the law; enforce or apply
our Terms and Conditions and other agreements; or to protect the
rights, property, or safety of Jivjiv Corporation, our users, or
others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and
organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
With Your Consent:
Other than as set out above, you must opt-in to the information sharing mechanism of this website.
Ownership:
Jivjiv Corporation is the sole owner of the information collected on the Site. We collect information from our users at several different points on our Site.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
We store all of your information on a secured server. We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. When transmitting the entire credit card number to our credit card processing partner for processing, a 128 bit encrypted SSL is used.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when you finish using a shared computer.
