Privacy Policy Security statement (bottom)
Account Creation/Registration
When placing an order at this Web site you will be prompted for the necessary information (shipping, billing, payment) to complete your order. If you choose to pay with PayPal then you will have the option to register as a PayPal user--registering is OPTIONAL. You are NOT required to register as a PayPal user to place an order. We won't sell, give, or make any of your personal information available to a third party under any circumstance. Additionally, please see PayPal's privacy policy by clicking here.
Orders
If you purchase a product from us, we
request certain personally identifiable information from you on our order form.
You must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping
address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration
date).
We only use this information for billing purposes and to
fill your order. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this
information to contact you. We will not share this information with any third party for any reason.
Occasionally, Kid Squeakers will send an email to those customers who have created an account at our website informing them of special offers and/or new product offerings. These communications will be no more than once a month in frequency and a link will be provided in the email that gives the you the opportunity to "unsubscribe".
Surveys
From time to time, we may provide you the opportunity to
participate in surveys on our site. If you participate, we will request
certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these
surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice
whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information
typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and
demographic information (such as zip code).
We use this information solely to make improvements to our product offering and web-site.
Uses of Information
The personal information you supply during the registration/checkout process is used only for order fulfillment and to occasionally send you promotional materials including emails announcing special offers, small newsletters, and surveys. Again, your information will never be shared with any third party for any reason.
Special Offers and Updates
We will occasionally send you information on products,
special deals or promotions. Out of respect for your privacy, we present the option not
to receive these types of communications. Please see the “Choice and Unsubscribe section.”
Email Newsletters
If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter(s), we will use
your name and email address to send the newsletter to you. Out of respect for
your privacy, we provide you a way to unsubscribe. Please see the “Choice and
Unsubscribe” section.
Customer Service
Based upon the personally identifiable information you
provide us, we will send you a confirmation email when you place an order. We will also communicate with you in response to your inquiries, to provide
the services you request, and to manage your account. We will communicate with you
by email or telephone, in accordance with your wishes.
Legal Disclaimer
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Website.
Choice and Unsubscribe
We provide you the opportunity to ‘unsubscribe’ from receiving promotional emails from us when we ask for
this information. For example, if you purchase a product but do not
wish to receive any additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your
preference on our order form. If you are not presented with an option on the order form you will not receive promotional materials. In other words, we only send promotional emails to our customers who have agreed to receive them by leaving a checkbox checked on the order form.
If you are receive a promotional email from us and do not wish to receive further emails you can easily "unsubscribe" from our mailing list by following the instructions provided in the email. Also, you can contact us any time and ask to be omitted from future promotional emails by simply sending a quick email to customer service at customerservice@kidsqueakers.com asking to be taken off our mailing list.
Log Files
As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain
information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes
internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider
(ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream
data.
We use this information, which does not identify
individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’
movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user
base as a whole. We do not link this automatically-collected data
to personally identifiable information in anyway.
Cookies

We use persistent cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our

limited.
This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by this site only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. That is why we never store credit card information in our database and we use one of the most trusted names on the internet for our payment processor, PayPal. When you enter sensitive information such as a credit card number, your information will be encrypted using the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer technology (SSL http://wp.netscape.com/security/techbriefs/ssl.html).
Kid Squeakers follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security--no one can.
If you have any questions about our site security, feel free to send an email to us at customerservice@kidsqueakers.com.
