EuroQuest LLC Privacy Notice
EuroQuest LLC
knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we
appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice
describes our privacy policy. By visiting EuroQuest's sites, you are accepting
the practices described in this Privacy Notice.
What Personal
Information About Customers Does EuroQuest LLC Gather?
The information we
learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping
experience at EuroQuest LLC. Here are the types of information we gather.
-
Information You Give Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in
any other way. Please see section below to see examples of what we collect.
You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be
able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that
you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing
future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you.
-
Automatic Information:
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with
us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain
types of information when your Web browser accesses EuroQuest LLC. Please see
section below to see examples of the information we receive. A number of
companies offer
utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will
not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at EuroQuest LLC if
we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
-
E-mail Communications:
To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a
confirmation when you open e-mail from EuroQuest LLC if your computer
supports such capabilities. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail
from us, please adjust your
Customer
Communication Preferences.
-
Information from Other
Sources: We might
receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account
information. Please see section below to see examples of the information we
receive.
What About
Cookies?
-
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we
transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our
systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as purchasing,
personalized greetings, and storage of items in your Shopping Cart between
visits.
-
The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers
will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to
have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable
cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some
of EuroQuest LLC's coolest features, and we recommend that you leave them
turned on.
Does
EuroQuest LLC Share the Information It Receives?
Information about
our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the
business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as
described below and with subsidiaries EuroQuest LLC. controls that either
are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as
those described in this Privacy Notice.
-
Affiliated Businesses We Do
Not Control: We
work closely with our affiliated businesses. In some cases, these businesses
operate stores at EuroQuest LLC or sell offerings to you at EuroQuest LLC.
In other cases, we operate stores, provide services, or sell product lines
jointly with these businesses. You can tell when a third party is involved in
your transactions, and we share customer information related to those
transactions with that third party.
-
Agents:
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf.
Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail
and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing
data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links
(including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and
providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to
perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
-
Promotional Offers:
Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of EuroQuest LLC customers on
behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your
name and address.
-
Business Transfers:
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores,
subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information
generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the
promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the
customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that EuroQuest LLC,
or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of
course be one of the transferred assets.
-
Protection of EuroQuest LLC
and Others: We
release account and other personal information when we believe release is
appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our
Conditions of Use and other agreements;
or protect the rights, property, or safety of EuroQuest LLC, our users, or
others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and
organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously,
however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise
disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial
purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.
-
With Your Consent:
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about
you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not
to share the information.
How Secure Is
Information About Me?
-
We work to protect the security of your
information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software,
which encrypts information you input.
-
We do not reveal the credit card numbers or
reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming
an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the
appropriate credit card company during order processing.
-
It is important for you to protect against
unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off
when finished using a shared computer.
Which Information
Can I Access?
EuroQuest LLC
gives you access to a broad range of information about your account and your
interactions with EuroQuest LLC for the limited purpose of viewing and, in
certain cases, updating that information.
What Choices Do I
Have?
-
As discussed above, you can always choose not to
provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to
take advantage of such EuroQuest LLC features as your currency settings, and
Wish Lists.
-
You can add or update certain information on
pages such as those listed in the "Which Information Can I Access?" section
above. When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior
version for our records.
-
If you do not want to receive e-mail or other
mail from us, please adjust your
Customer Communication Preferences.
(If you do not want to receive
Conditions of Use and other legal
notices from us, such as this Privacy Notice, those notices will still govern
your use of EuroQuest LLC, and it is your responsibility to review them for
changes.)
-
The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers
will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to
have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable
cookies altogether. However, you will not be able to use such important
features as Wish List ordering and Add to Saved Cart if you do not use
cookies.
Children
EuroQuest LLC
does not sell products for purchase by children. We sell children's products for
purchase by adults. If you are under 18, you may use EuroQuest LLC only with
the involvement of a parent or guardian.
Conditions of Use,
Notices, and Revisions
If you choose to
visit EuroQuest LLC, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this
Notice and our
Conditions of Use, including limitations
on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the state of
Washington. If you have any concern about privacy at EuroQuest LLC, please send
us a thorough description to feedback@EuroQuest LLC, and we will try to resolve
it.
Our business
changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice and the
Conditions of Use will change also. We
may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have
instructed us not to, but you should check our Web site frequently to see recent
changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all
information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the
promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and
practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the
past without the consent of affected customers.
