Commitment to Privacy

We value you as a customer, and we know you're concerned about protecting your privacy online. This privacy policy explains how SparkSprite collects and uses customer information gathered at our web site in order to conduct our business, inform customers about our products and provide customer service. By visiting SparkSprite's web site, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

What information does SparkSprite collect?

Each time you visit SparkSprite's web site, the web server automatically collects your internet service provider's address, the web page from which you came, web browser software, and a record of your activity while visiting the site. In addition, we collect the personally identifiable information (such as first and last name, credit card number, home address, e-mail address, telephone number and the certain information about the gift recipient, including name, birthday and address) that you provide when you make a purchase.

How does SparkSprite use the information it collects?

All of the information we gather from you is treated as confidential and will not be sold or rented by us to any third parties. Your personal information may be used by us to fulfill orders, to tailor offerings to you and to communicate with you about our products, services and special offerings. In the course of our business, we may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include delivering packages, fulfilling orders, sending postal mail and e-mail, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing customer service, and processing credit card payments. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but are prohibited from using it for other purposes.

In addition, we may release customer account or other information if we're advised that release is necessary to comply with the law, or to protect the rights, property and safety of SparkSprite, our customers or others. This may include the exchange of information with companies and organizations or law enforcement for loss prevention and credit risk reduction. Of course, 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. In the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency, merger or acquisition, customer information, including personal information, may be transferred, but remains subject to the promises made in this Privacy Notice.

How is my personal information protected?

We use industry standard security techniques on the SparkSprite website to help protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information collected from you. We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. We have also obtained a digital certificate from Verisign, Inc., a leading provider of Internet trust services. This certificate guarantees that your personal information is being transmitted in secure (encrypted) form to a SparkSprite web server, not to some unknown or unauthorized server. However, SparkSprite cannot be and is not responsible for unauthorized access to information by hackers or others who have obtained such access through illegal measures.

Does SparkSprite use cookies?

Yes. Our web site uses "cookies," which are small pieces of information stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive.

(Some examples of this data include your account preferences, items added to your shopping cart, user specific information on pages accessed and previous visits to the site.) SparkSprite does not use cookies to store any of your personal or financial information on your computer. 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 new cookies or how to disable cookies altogether. However, if you reject cookies, you may not be able to participate in certain activities or receive offers tailored to you.
