At ProudBody, we are committed to protecting your privacy. Because we respect your right to privacy, we have developed this Privacy Policy to inform you about our privacy practices. Whether you are a customer or a visitor to our website, we do not collect any information from you unless you provide it to us. In addition, we do not sell any information regarding our customers or visitors to any other organization. Information Collection and Use ProudBody, Inc. is the sole owner of the information collected on our website. We do not sell, share, or rent this information to any other organization except for the processing of customer orders as discussed below. We do not partner with or have special relationships with any ad server companies. Ordering Information We request information from our customers during the check-out process. When an order is placed through our shopping cart, we collect your contact information (including your name, e-mail address, home and shipping address and your phone numbers) and your financial information (like credit card number and expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to ship your order. In addition, if we have trouble processing your order, your contact information is used to get in touch with you. We also use this information to confirm your order and to respond to any questions you may have. We share your information with a credit card processing company to charge your credit or debit card for your order and with our warehouse for shipping of your order. Neither company retains, shares, stores or uses personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. Cookies A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes his or her browser, the cookie simply terminates. We use cookies to record session information, such as items that our customers add to their order form. Log Files We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track general page access, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. Links This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such other sites. We encourage our customers to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. Our Privacy Policy applies solely to our website. Choice/Opt-out Currently no personal information is gathered for purposes other than placing and confirming customer orders. If this policy changes in the future, our users will be given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the information. Users of our site will always be notified if their information is being collected by any outside parties from our site. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require an outside party or not. Access to Information Upon request we provide customers with access to transaction information (e.g., dates on which a purchase was made and amounts and types of purchases) that we maintain about them and contact information (e.g., name, address, phone number) that we maintain about them. Customers can access this information by sending us an e-mail at info@proudbody.com. Upon request we offer customers the ability to have inaccuracies corrected in their contact or transaction information. Customers can have this information corrected by sending us an e-mail at info@proudbody.com. Notification of Changes If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy under which the information was collected. If you have further questions about our Privacy Policy or have other comments on how we can improve your shopping experience, please send us an e-mail at feedback@proudbody.com. We appreciate your business and wish you the best with your soon-to-be addition to your family! Safety Our website takes every precaution to protect our customers' information. When you submit sensitive information via our website, your information is protected both online and off-line. When our order form asks you to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number), ProudBody, through our credit card processing company, uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the best encryption software in the industry. While on a secure page, such as when you submit your belly cast order, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’. To learn more about SSL, follow this link (SSL). While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect customer information off-line. All of our customers’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our office. Only those who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment. Our web hosting provider has appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that you have submitted to us at our site. If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to info@proudbody.com.
