General Terms
This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for hhDesigns and any affiliate web sites.
Information Collection and Use
hhDesigns is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. hhDesigns collects information from users at several different points on our web site.
Registration
In order to use this web site., a user must first complete the registration form. During registration a user is required to give contact information (such as name and email address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest as well as for billing purposes.
Order
hhDesigns or their affiliates may request information from the user on order forms. Here a user must provide contact information (such as name and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customers' orders. If there is trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Log Files
hhDesigns use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track users' movements, and gather broad demographic information of aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
hhDesigns will share aggregated demographic information with our partners. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
hhDesigns may use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
If hhDesigns partners with another party to provide specific services, when the user signs up for these services, names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services will be shared.
These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that hhDesigns is not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites unless they are direct affiliates of hhDesigns. Users are encouraged to be aware when they leave hhDesigns sites and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Surveys and Contests
From time to time the site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Requested information may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Security
This web site takes every precaution to protect user and member information. When users or members submit sensitive information via the web site., that information is protected both online and off-line.
When the registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, 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, as it is when the user is just ‘surfing’.
hhDesigns use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, and also do everything possible to protect user-information off-line. All users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance hhDesigns places on privacy, and what they can do to ensure that user and member information is protected. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.
Supplementation of Information
In order for this web site to enhance its ability to tailor the site to an individual’s preference, we combine information about the purchasing habits of users with similar information from our partners, Company Y & Company Z, to create a personalized user profile. When a user makes a purchase from either of these two companies, the companies collect and share that purchase information with us so we can tailor the site to our users’ preferences.
