Privacy Policy - PeppermintCandy.net

I know that you care how your information is used, and I appreciate your trust that it will be used both cautiously and sensibly. This notice describes the PeppermintCandy.net privacy policy. By visiting here, you are accepting the privacy policy described below.

1. What Personal Information Do You Collect?

• Cookies. Like many websites, this one also uses “cookies”. Cookies are small files that allow this site to recognize you and to provide you with a customized shopping experience. If you do not want to use cookies, you can easily disable them by going to the toolbar of your web browser, and clicking on the “help” button. Cookies are generally good things though.  You can read how Google uses cookies and also how Yahoo uses cookies.  In general, they are a good thing and enable your internet experience to be much more personalized and significant.  If you don’t enable cookies in your browser, I will not be paid a commission on the sale of an item you purchase.  It was my intention to create PeppermintCandy.net as a place to find great peppermint candy information and products.  For that, I get paid a small commission if you make a purchase (often around 5-10%.)
  
• Other Information: Every computer has an IP (Internet Protocol) address. IP addresses of computers used to visit this site are noted. In addition, information is automatically collected, such as browser types, operating systems, and the URL addresses of sites clicked to and from this site.

2. How Does PeppermintCandy.net Protect the Security of Your Information?

• By using a firewall to protect against unlawful intrusion.
• Information access is on a “need to know” basis.
• It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

However, we take every reasonable precaution to assure that your data is secure.  No credit card information is collected by PeppermintCandy.net. There are no purchases made on this site.  Any purchase you may make occurs on the site of the respective merchants.
