Please read the following privacy policy carefully before using the website.
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
- We collect information from you when you register on the site, place an order, respond to feedback or communication such as e-mail, or participate in another site feature.
- When ordering or registering, we may ask you for your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information, or other information. You may, however, visit our site anonymously.
- Like many websites, we use “cookies” to enhance your experience and gather information about visitors and visits to our websites. Please refer to the “Do we use ‘cookies’?” section below for information about cookies and how we use them.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?
We may use the information we collect from you when you register, purchase products, enter a promotion, respond to a survey or marketing communication, surf the website, or use certain other site features in the following ways:
- To personalize your site experience and to allow us to deliver the type of content and product offerings in which you are most interested.
- To allow us to better service you in responding to your customer service requests.
- To quickly process your transactions.
- To administer a contest, promotion, survey, or other site feature.
- If you have opted-in to receive our e-mail newsletter, we may send you periodic e-mails. If you no longer like to receive promotional e-mails from us, please refer to the “How can you opt-out, remove or modify information you provided?” section below. If you have not opted-in to receive e-mail newsletters, you will not receive these e-mails. Visitors who register or participate in other site features, such as marketing programs and ‘members-only’ content, will choose whether they would like to be on our e-mail list and receive e-mail communications from us.
HOW DO WE PROTECT VISITOR INFORMATION?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your personal information is acquired behind secured networks. It is only accessible by a limited number of persons with special access rights to such systems, and you must keep the information confidential. When you place orders or access your data, we offer the use of a secure server. All sensitive/credit information you supply is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our databases to be only accessed as stated above.
DO WE USE “COOKIES”?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow), enabling the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, cookies help us remember and process the items in our shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and interaction to offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
We may contract with third-party service providers to better understand our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.
You can have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won’t have access to many features that make your site experience more efficient, and some of our services will not function properly. However, you can still place orders over the telephone by contacting customer service.
DO WE DISCLOSE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT TO OUTSIDE PARTIES?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties unless we provide you with advance notice, except as described below. The term “outside parties” does not include www.tangerineom.com. It also does not have website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our or others’ rights, property, or safety.
THIRD-PARTY LINKS
We may include third-party links on our site to provide you with increased value. These linked sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We, therefore, have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these linked sites (including if a specific link does not work).

We will post those changes on this page if we decide to change our privacy policy. Policy changes will apply only to information collected after the date of the change. This policy was last modified on August 6, 2003.
