SpiritSimple.com (SpiritSimple Enterprises
L.L.C.) recognizes the importance of confidentiality of information
over the Internet, particularly in the case of credit card and
personal information. We value your trust as much as your business,
and consequently present this statement of all applicable privacy
policies. Please be aware that your use of this site represents your
acceptance of these terms.
Pledge of Privacy
SpiritSimple.com does not share, sell,
barter, or loan any personal information you share with us with any
outside parties, ever. Your personal and transaction history
information is kept completely confidential.
Information we Collect, Where it
is Stored, and How it is Used
In order to serve you securely and
effectively, there are some pieces of information that we must
collect. Upon placing an order, we require that you provide an email
address, which will be used for correspondence related to the order.
You will also be asked for your billing and shipping addresses and
your phone number. This information is stored in our personal
database that is firewall and password protected.
Upon placing a credit card order, you will be
asked to provide the credit card information you will be using for
that purchase. When you input your credit card information, it is
encrypted by PayPal's Verisign-certified Secure Servers via Secure
Socket Layer (SSL). SpiritSimple.com never has possession of your
complete credit account information, and merely receives a
notification of the transaction. We do, however, store the last 4
digits of the account number and the type of credit card used for
transaction identification purposes.
Email Communication
We may, at times, send you information
about new products available at SpiritSimple.com via email. You have
the right to unsubscribe to our promotional emails at anytime by
clicking on the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of these emails. You
will also receive SpiritSimple.com order receipts and shipping
confirmation notices via email. These emails are sent to keep you
informed about the status of your order(s) and to give you a record
of your transactions with us. Your credit card information will not
be listed on these emails for security reasons.
Cookies
Some websites are in the practice of
placing cookies on your hard drive to track your Internet activity
by recognizing your browser. SpiritSimple.com does not use cookies
to track all of your navigation around the web, but does utilize
them to track your journey through our site and enable you to
purchase. There is no marketing application that this information is
used for, but rather serves the sole purpose of giving you a
temporary digital identity while shopping with us. If you would
prefer that cookies not be placed on your hard drive, the "Help"
section of your browser usually contains instructions to disable
this process.
Security Measures and Technologies
As previously mentioned, SpiritSimple.com
utilizes the highest level of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption
from PayPal's Secure Servers (certified by Verisign). This
protection prohibits the information exchanged between two parties
from being intercepted or compromised in any way. Data is encrypted
before it leaves your browser and is not decrypted until it passes
through the firewall and safely enters the servers at PayPal. In
this way, even we at SpiritSimple.com do not have access to or
responsibility for this private information. Your credit
authorization is then processed, and a response is sent a few
seconds later, all in complete confidentiality. By virtue of this
cutting-edge security functionality, you can purchase with the
confidence and safety of the best encryption system available.
Policy Changes
SpiritSimple.com reserves the right to
modify or alter this privacy policy at any time without individual
notification or consent of members. However, we will make every
effort to indicate to visitors that changes have been made, and
pledge that these changes will be made with the best interest of all
parties in mind. No new terms will be drafted that will in any way
negatively effect the customers of SpiritSimple.com, but with
service upgrades and changes of processes, amendments are
occasionally warranted.
