of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and
are required to keep the information confidential. When you place
orders or access your personal information, 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) that enables the
site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser
and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we
use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your 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 site interaction
so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us
in better understanding 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 choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie
is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do
this through your browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet
Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look
at your browser 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 to outside parties your personally identifiable
information unless we provide you with advance notice, except
as described below. The term "outside
parties" does not include Language Lizard, LLC. It also
does not include 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 ours or others' rights, property, or safety.
However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be
provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other
uses.
