The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually
improve your shopping experience at Giftsofharvest.com. Here are the types of

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.
E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we
often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Giftsofharvest.com if
your computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list to
lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary
messages to our customers. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail
from us, please adjust your settuings.
Q: What About Cookies?
A: Only on these conditions!
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 constant log-in and storage of items in your
Shopping Cart incase of accidental loss of connection to are site.
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 Giftsofharvest.com's coolest
features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on or add us to your
allowed sites list (we guarantee that we will not collect any personal
information).
Q: Does Giftsofharvest.com Share the Information It Receives?
A: No!
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 Giftsofharvest.com. 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, such as Marketplace, zShops, and Auctions sellers,
these businesses operate stores at Giftsofharvest.com or sell offerings to you
at Giftsofharvest.com. 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.
Third-Party Service Providers: 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
Giftsofharvest.com customers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we
do not give that business your name and address. If you do not want to receive
such offers, please adjust your settings.
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
Giftsofharvest.com, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer
information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
Protection of Giftsofharvest.com 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 Giftsofharvest.com, 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.

an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the
appropriate credit card company during order processing.
