Carriage
House Crafts & Collectibles believes that with the growth of E-Commerce
and online activity, the information collected from web store customers
should be kept confidential. We will make reasonable efforts to ensure
that information furnished by our customers about themselves will be safeguarded
and not be made available to third parties.
Online
privacy concerns focus on the protection of information which identifies
the customer that an individual reasonably expects to be kept private.
Information which identifies that customer is information which can be
associated with a specific individual or entity, including, for example,
a customer's name, address, or telephone number, E-mail address, and information
about online activities that are directly linked to them.
It
is often a necessity for companies, governments, or other organizations
to collect customer identifiable information in order to conduct regular
business and offer services to customers. For example, an E-Commerce store
service may collect information which identifies the customer, such as
name, address, telephone number, and a variety of other information in
the course of billing and providing delivery of products ordered by a customer.

Many
activities on the Internet follow very familiar methods as physical stores.
Similarly, business web sites may ask visitors to supply information about
themselves, particularly when information, services or merchandise are
requested, but often simply to be able to better target the company's services
to the customer's interests and requirements.
