Carl W. Herrmann Furs is an anti-spam company. We will not share your information with anyone.
It is Herrmann Furs’ policy to respect and protect the privacy of our
customers and the users of Herrmann Furs’ website (hereinafter, the
“Website”). Through this Privacy Statement, we want to reassure users of
the Website that we will not sell, share, or rent user information to
others in a manner different than as set forth in this Privacy
Statement.
By accessing this Website, you agree to be bound by the Privacy
Statement. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Statement,
please do not use this Website. Each time you use the Website, the
current version of the Privacy Statement will apply. Accordingly, when
you use the Webite, you should check the date of this Statement (which
appears at the bottom) and review any changes since the last version.
We may provide personal identifying and account information in
special cases such as enforcement of our Terms of Website Use, or as
required by law or legal process to protect and defend the rights and
safety of our Website and its users. This includes exchanging
information with other companies for purposes of fraud and credit risk
reduction.
Consent
By using our Website, the user agrees to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Privacy Statement and the Website Terms of Use INCLUDING
ALL LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES PROVISIONS which are an integral part hereof
and the user consents to the collection and use of this information by
Herrmann Furs as disclosed in this Privacy Statement.
Security Information
Strong precautions are taken to protect the information of the users
of our Website. When users submit sensitive information via the Website,
that information is protected both online and off-line.
We take credit
card information security seriously and use a variety of technical
solutions to make shopping safe at our Website. Furthermore, your
information is encrypted and is protected utilizing the industry
standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption software. While on a
secure page, such as an order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web
browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer
becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online,
we also protect user information off-line. All of the information of our
Website’s users, including the sensitive information mentioned above,
is maintained in a restricted section in our offices. Only those of our
employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for
example, our account or customer service representatives) are granted
access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, our
employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or method of
electronic storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,
while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its
absolute security.
IN NO EVENT SHALL HERRMANN FURS BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL,
INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS, WITHOUT
REGARD TO THE FORM OF ANY ACTION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CONTRACT,
NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTIONS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THE USE, COPYING, OR DISPLAY OF THE CONTENTS OF THIS WEBSITE, EVEN
IF HERRMANN FURS OR AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF HERRMANN FURS HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
If you have any questions about the security at our Website, please contact us.
Cookies
You may have heard of the term “cookies”. Cookies are routinely used
by most, if not all, ecommerce merchants, including Carl W. Herrmann
Furs. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a user’s hard drive through
the Web browser program containing information about the user which
enables us to track and personalize the Website to enhance your
experience. For instance, by setting a cookie on our Website, we can
provide you with storage of items in your shopping cart between visits.
However, if a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our Website,
although we will be unable to provide our users with the personalized
shopping experience we can offer using the cookie data. If you have any
questions about our use of cookies, please contact us.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time, we may request information from the users of the
Website via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or
contests is completely voluntary, and the users of the Website have a
choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as your name and
shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age
level, etc.). We use such information to notify contest winners, award
prizes, and for analyzing the Website traffic to improve the user’s
experience on the Website.
Special Offers, Account Updates and Opting Out
Our Website occasionally sends our customers and the users of the
Website announcements and updates, which contain important information
about the Website and service offerings, which we believe to be of value
to our customers and users. In order to do this, we may enhance or
merge the information we collect on the Website with data from third
parties for purposes of marketing products or services to our customers
and users.
We may communicate with the users of the Website via email,
telephone, mail, or fax in order to provide requested services, content,
product information, notification of special offers, or in regard to
customer service issues relating to an account. The users of the Website
are always given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their online
information used for purposes not directly related to the Website at the
point at which we ask for the information or when they receive an
online requested promotional communication.
For example, our email messages have an “unsubscribe” feature for
users of the Website who buy from us, but don’t want to be notified
about special offers in the future. Users can simply “Reply” back to the
email message and type “unsubscribe” in the subject field. Upon receipt
of the reply, we will remove that email address from our email list. If
a user has more than one email address, he or she should include the
other addresses as well to ensure proper updating of their account
information.
Users of the Website can always update the personally identifying
information that they have provided simply by accessing and updating
their account information on the Website or by emailing us.
Children’s Privacy Policy
The following paragraphs summarize Herrmann Furs’ policy regarding
the collection and use of personal information about children.
Types of Personal Information Collected
Under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998,
“personal” is defined as individually identifiable information, such as a
first and last name; a home or other physical address including street
name and city or town; an email address; a telephone number; a Social
Security number; or persistent identifiers such as customer or processor
serial numbers held in a cookie, where the identifier is associated
with individually identifiable information. Cookies are small pieces of
information that are stored in a designated file on a user’s computer.
Herrmann Furs usually does not collect personal information as defined
under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. We collect and use
only as much information about a child as necessary for the activity,
and do not condition participation in any online activity on the
disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary.
Occasionally, we use cookies to store pertinent user information during a
session.
This website uses the Google AdWords remarketing service to advertise
on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our
site. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads
based on someone’s past visits to this website. Any data collected will
be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google’s privacy
policy. You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using
the Google Ad Preferences page.
Use of Personal information
We use the information we collect from children only for internal
business purposes, and/or to give credit to children for work they have
created. We contact children by email only in response to their requests
for information or assistance. Herrmann Furs uses cookies solely for
the purpose of holding information during online sessions (for example,
to hold answers to online quizzes for short-term storage, or to create
an ID for use in a multiple-session assessment). If, however, a child
voluntarily discloses personal information, such as a name or email
address, on bulletin boards or in chat areas that are accessible to
other users, then such information could be collected and disclosed by
others. Herrmann Furs cannot take any responsibility for such collection
or disclosure.
Involvement of Parents
In accordance with the provisions of the Children’s Online Privacy
Protection Act, we will notify parents when collecting personal
information from children, and will seek parental consent before
collecting, using, or disclosing certain personal information from
children. Parents may review and have deleted their child’s personal
information, and may refuse to permit further collection or use of their
child’s information by contacting the Herrmann Furs representatives.
Parents may consent to our collection and use of their child’s personal
information without consenting to the disclosure of that information to
others.
