MetroMemories Privacy Policy |
|
|
|
Introduction |
|
A good business relationship is based upon mutual trust. This includes your relationship
with MetroMemories. To promote mutual trust, we take your privacy very seriously.
Read the information below to learn more about our privacy policy. |
|
|
|
What This Policy Covers |
|
This policy covers how MetroMemories (“we”) treats personal information that
we collect regarding visitors and users (“you”) of the MetroMemories site.
Personal Information is defined as identification information about you such as
your name, address, email address, and phone number that is not otherwise publicly
available. |
|
|
|
The Information That We Collect About You |
On MetroMemories, you have almost total control over what information we may
have about you. In most cases, we will not have personal information about you unless
you voluntarily give it to us when establishing an account, placing an order, etc.
This information includes, name, address, email address, shipping address, telephone
number, credit card information, and any other information that we may consider
necessary to serve you properly. (For example, we cannot deliver merchandise that
you have ordered unless we have an address to deliver it to.) You may choose not
to provide this information. However, a decision not to provide the information
we request may mean that we are unable to process your order.
You may provide us with information about other individuals (for example, you may
request shipping to another individual and their address). We will safeguard this
information as carefully as we would your own information. We also retain the same
right to use this information as we would use your information (for example, we
may need to contact them regarding shipping, we may contact them with information
about offers and products we believe they may be interested in, etc.)
The only personal information we collect from you without requesting it is your
IP (Internet Protocol) address and the identity of the web site you visited prior
to visiting MetroMemories. Your IP address is the number which the internet
uses to identify you while you use the internet. This number does not provide us
with other information about you (such as name, address, etc.). However, if it is
important for us to contact you, your IP address may be used to identify your internet
provider and you may be contacted through that channel. This will only be done if
we have a significant need to contact you and we do not otherwise have accurate
contact information. We identify the site you visited prior to our site to acquire
knowledge of sites which may be providing links to MetroMemories. |

|
|
How We Use Your Information |
Information collected about you is collected for the purpose of serving you. We
need this information to ship products that you order, respond to questions you
may pose to us, resolve problems and disputes, and to offer you products that we
believe may interest you.
We may use this information to communicate with you under a number of circumstances,
such as in response to a request from you for information, notification of changes
in our policies, distribution of our monthly newsletter, or contact regarding your
account with us.
As we serve you, it becomes necessary to share your personal information with other
entities on a “need to know” basis. (For example, we need to share your credit card
information with our financial institution in order to receive payment, a merchant
needs to know your shipping information in order to ship merchandise to you. When
your merchandise is shipped, the selected carrier must have access to your shipping
information in order to make the delivery.)

|
|
Sale Of Your Information |
|
MetroMemories will not sell your personal information to any third party. |
|
|
|
Access Within MetroMemories |
|
Access to your personal information is restricted within MetroMemories on
a “need to know” basis. Employees, agents, and anyone in any way connected with
MetroMemories who has access to your personal information are required to
protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Such individuals may not use your personal information for any purpose other than
to carry out the services they are providing for MetroMemories. MetroMemories
recognizes that credit card information is particularly sensitive. Credit card information
is only accessible to MetroMemories personnel who need this access to process
financial transactions and financial institutions involved with those transactions. |
|
|
|
Use Of Your Information For Marketing Purposes |
|
When you provide personal information to us, you are automatically subscribed to
our monthly email newsletter and may receive other offers or marketing materials
from us by email. You may opt out of these email contacts if you desire. |
|
|
|
Use Of Cookies |
|
To enhance the benefit of MetroMemories to you, we use “cookies.” Cookies
are small text files we place on your computer. These files contain a small amount
of data which can anonymously identify you to the MetroMemories system. (For
example, cookies help us keep track of a series of merchandise selections. The cookie
tells us that the selections were made by the same visitor, but cookies by themselves
do not tell us who the visitor is.) Cookies are used to track usage of the MetroMemories
site. We cannot track your personal site usage or where you have been on the site,
however information we collect through cookies helps us to determine which pages
are most popular with our users. Also, cookies help us to keep track of simultaneous
users who are adding items to their shopping cart and placing orders at the same
time. This is standard procedure for virtually all sites that use a shopping cart
format. You may be able to set your web browser to reject cookies. However, rejection
of cookies may negatively affect your ability to use the MetroMemories site. |

What This Policy Does Not Cover |
