Prairie Ridge Cheese Privacy Policy Prairie Ridge Cheese knows 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 PrairieRidgeCheese.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice. What Personal Information About Customers Does Prairie Ridge Cheese Gather? Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter at our Web site. This information is provided to us by you on a completely voluntary basis. Some of this information is necessary in order for us to process orders, ship goods, communicate via e-mail, and other functions. Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies" to help manage your shopping session as you travel from one Prairie Ridge Cheese Web page to the next. The primary purpose of this information is to store your information for your convenience when adding subsequent items to your shopping cart or placing subsequent orders. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. While such tools may limit the effectiveness of some features at our Web site, we want you to be aware that they exist so that you can take advantage of them if you so wish. E-mail Communications: From time to time, we at Prairie Ridge Cheese send e-mail messages to a select list of addressees for promotional purposes. We limit such e-mail communication to those who have ordered from Prairie Ridge Cheese or requested catalogs or newsletters from Prairie Ridge Cheese in the past. If you receive e-mail from Prairie Ridge Cheese, and you do not wish to receive such e-mail again in the future, please send e-mail to unsubscribe@prairieridgecheese.com and provide us with the e-mail address at which you do not wish to receive e-mail from Prairie Ridge Cheese. We will promptly remove your e-mail address from our mail lists. 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 storage of items in your shopping cart between visits. A Web site, like PrairieRidgeCheese.com, cannot access any data on your computer's hard drive except what your browser allows us to store in the form of cookies. In order for a Web site like PrairieRidgeCheese.com to store your personal information (e.g. name, address, etc.) on your computer in the form of a cookie, you would have to first provide the information voluntarily, as there is no way to use cookies to glean information about you from your computer without your knowledge or permission. 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. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of Prairie Ridge Cheese's Web site features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on. Does Prairie Ridge Cheese Share the Information We Receive? Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. Currently at Prairie Ridge Cheese we do not sell any of our customers' information to other companies. However, we reserve the right to share our customers' contact information (name, address, telephone number, etc.) with other companies or individuals if we decide to do so in the future. Rest assured, though, that Prairie Ridge Cheese will never share private financial information about our customers, including credit card information, with another company or individual. How Secure Is Information About Me? We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. All information you input at the Prairie Ridge Cheese Web site is secured through encryption whenever it travels across the Internet, including (1) when sent from your browser to our Web site, (2) when sent from our Web site to our credit card processing service, and (3) when sent from our Web site to other Prairie Ridge Cheese computers for order processing. Shopping at Prairie Ridge Cheese is as secure as current e-commerce technology allows. By using the e-commerce infrastructure provided by Yahoo! Stores, Prairie Ridge Cheese is amongst the most secure e-commerce operations on the Internet. Using your credit card to purchase goods online from Prairie Ridge Cheese is just as secure as, and in many cases more secure than, using your credit card in person to purchase goods and services at a physical location.
