Privacy Policy
We know that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we
appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice
describes our privacy policy. By visiting our website, you are accepting the
practices described in this Privacy Notice.
What Personal Information Do You Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually
improve your shopping experience at our website. Here are the types of information
we gather.
Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information
you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to
provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage
of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes
as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving
our stores, and communicating with you.
Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types
of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites,
we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when
your Web browser accesses iShopSale.com.
E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful
and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Amazon.com
if your computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list
to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary
messages to our customers. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail
from us, please adjust your Customer Communication Preferences.
Information from Other Sources: We might receive information
about you from other sources and add it to our account information.
What About Cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard
drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser
and to provide features such as 1-Click purchasing, New for You, personalized
our greetings, and storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.
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 a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally,
you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash
cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the Website of its manufacturer.
However, because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of Amazon.com's
essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. For instance,
if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to add items
to your Shopping Cart, proceed to Checkout, or use any products and services
that require you to Sign in.
Do You Share the Information Received?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we
are not in the business of selling it to others. We work to protect the security
of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
software, which encrypts information you input.
We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming
an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate
credit card company during order processing.
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.
We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change
our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information
collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.
What Choices Do I Have?
As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even
though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of such features
as your Profile, Wish Lists, and Customer Reviews. You can add or update certain
information on pages such as those listed in the "Which Information Can
I Access?" section above. When you update information, we usually keep
a copy of the prior version for our records.
If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust
your Customer Communication Preferences. (If you do not want to receive Conditions
of Use and other legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Notice, those notices
will still govern your use of Amazon.com, and it is your responsibility to review
them for changes.)
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 a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally,
you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash
cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the Website of its manufacturer.
