Privacy & Security Policies

Overview
Tognotti's does not rent, trade, loan, or sell your personal information, or any
other information which may identify you, to third parties. We are committed to
protecting our customers' privacy. The information we collect is used to process
your order and to enhance your shopping experience. We also monitor customer traffic
patterns and site usage in order to help us refine the design and layout of the
store. For more detailed information on our privacy policy, please continue reading.
Your Personal Information
When you place an order at our site, you provide us with your name, email address,
credit card information, address, and phone number. We use this information to process
your order and keep you up to date on its status. The financial information (credit
card number, expiration date, billing address, etc.) that we collect from you is
used for billing purposes only. In order to serve you best, credit card transactions are handled by a reputable
third-party banking institution. Once the bank authorizes your credit card, we begin
processing your order. The banking institution we do business with is under strict
obligation to keep your personal information private.
We also work with third parties that perform various vital functions on our behalf.
Such functions include shipping and delivering of packages, fulfilling orders, et
cetera. These third parties will have access to personal information as required
for them to carry out these functions on our behalf. They are also under strict
obligation to keep your personal information private.
Tognotti's may occasionally notify you via email about important functionality changes
to our web site or special offers we think you'll find valuable. At the bottom of
every such email are directions on how to take your email address off our list.
We may use your Internet Protocol (IP) address and ISP name to help us diagnose
problems with our server, and administer our web site. Your IP address may also
be used to gather broad demographic information, as well as identify customer traffic
patterns and site usage. This information aids us in merchandising and in refining
the design and layout of the store.
Secure Servers
Our secure server uses advanced encryption
and firewall technology to keep your personal information private. Our secure server
layer (SSL) software completely encrypts the information you input so that it cannot
be read as it travels to our ordering system. We have extremely strong security
measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of your information
while it is in our control.
Cookies
"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by the browser onto your
computer's hard drive. There are two types of cookies, "Stored" and "Per-Session".
Stored cookies are saved onto your hard drive permanently whereas session cookies
are not. If our web site is left idle for over 20 minutes or if the browser is closed,
the per-session cookie will be deleted as well. We use cookies to keep track of
your current shopping session. Tognotti's does not use cookies to store/retrieve
your personal information. By default, most web browsers have both types of cookies
enabled, but these settings can be altered. To place an order on our website, per
session cookies have to be enabled, but stored cookies do not.
Contests and Serveys
From time to time, we may run contests or other promotions on our site that ask
you for contact and demographic information. If you win, we will send your prize
to the address you entered into our system, and notify you by email. We may also
use your contact information to notify you about Tognotti's promotions, specials,
and new additions to our site. If you prefer not to receive these emails, please
follow the simple instructions on the bottom of such an email, and we will remove
you from our mailing list.
Tognotti's may also occasionally administer surveys at our site that request your
opinions and demographic information. Here, we do not ask you for contact information,
and we will never contact you regarding your answers to a survey. Survey answers
are strictly confidential. We only use survey data in an effort to better serve
our customers. If you do not wish to participate in a survey, simply decline to
participate when asked.
Statistics
Tognotti's may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic
patterns, and other shopping information, to reputable third-party vendors or our
marketing partners. These statistics will not include any information that identifies
you personally.
Your Consent
By using our web site, you are agreeing
to let us collect the aforementioned information (please see the above) and use
it in the said manner. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on this page. Tognotti's will cooperate with law enforcement agencies to
identify any individual who attempts to use our services for illegal activities.
We will also report any activity we believe to be unlawful, to the proper authorities.
Additionally, we may release account information when we feel that such a release
is necessary to enforce the terms of our user agreement, or to protect the rights,
property, and safety of our users, Tognotti's, or others. Other sites accessible
through Tognotti's have their own privacy policies and data collection practices.
Please consult each site's privacy policy. Tognotti's is not responsible for the
actions of third-parties.
