Maine Made Christmas Privacy Statement

We recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of all information provided by users of our web sites, subscribers to our mailings and all of our customers. We created this policy with a fundamental respect for our users right to privacy and to guide our relationships with our users. This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for all products and services owned by Maine Made Christmas. 

Information Collection and Use
Maine Made Christmas collects information from our website users, subscribers and customers. In this section of our privacy policy, we will describe the type of information we collect and how we use it to provide better services to our customers.

Registration and Ordering
When using our website and signing up for certain selected services (such as customer accounts and affiliate program), users must first register. During registration, users are required to give their contact information (such as name, e-mail address, mailing address and phone number). For internal purposes, we use this information to communicate with users and provide requested services, and, for our website visitors, to provide a more personalized experience on our sites. We use aggregate demographic information about our audience to improve our service, for marketing purposes and/or industry reporting purposes.

FFor our services that require payment (such as products), we also collect credit card information (such as account name, number and expiration date), which is used for billing purposes only, and is not otherwise shared.

E-mail Newsletters
If users wish to subscribe to our e-mailing, we ask for contact information (such as name, e-mail address). We use this information in the same manner as we use contact information in the registration and ordering process described above. Recipients of our e-mailings can unsubscribe using the "Mailing List" form found on the right of most of our web pages.

Surveys
After placing an order we invite users to provide information via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether to disclose contact information (such as name and mailing address) and demographic information (such as zip code or job title). In addition to other uses set forth in this policy, contact information collected in connection with surveys is used to monitor or improve the use and satisfaction of the site.

Communications with Us
We have features where users can submit information to us (such as our feedback forms). Submissions may be made public, but will not contain specific  identifying information. We may retain e-mails and other information sent to us for our internal administrative purposes, and to help us to serve customers better.

Automatic Data Collection
We use "cookies," a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Cookies benefit the user by requiring login only once, thereby saving time while on our site. If users reject the cookies, they may be limited in the use of some areas of our site. For example, the user may not be able to create a customer account. Additionally, we may note some of the pages the user visits on our site through the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs). The use of cookies and pixels enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our sites.

For our internal purposes, we gather date, time, browser type, navigation history and IP address of all visitors to our site. This information does not contain anything that can identify users personally. We use this information for our internal security audit log, trend analysis and system administration, and to gather broad demographic information about our user base for aggregate use.

Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code), or if a user no longer desires our product(s)/service(s), we provide a way to correct or update that user's personal data. The user should contact Customer Support for the applicable product or service.

Security
We use reasonable precautions to protect our users' personal information and to store it securely. Sensitive information that is transmitted to us online (such as credit card number) is encrypted and is transmitted to us securely. In addition, access to all of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Finally, the servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Links
Our web sites contain links to other sites. Maine Made Christmas is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each web site to which we may link that may collect personally identifiable information.

Notification and Changes
If we change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so our users are aware of what information we collect, how we use it. Users should check this policy frequently to keep abreast of any changes.
