protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most
powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to
the Taffy's Web site and governs data collection and usage.
By using the Taffy's website, you consent to the data
practices described in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
Taffy's collects personally identifiable information, such
as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number.
Taffy's also collects anonymous demographic information,
which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender,
preferences, interests and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that
is automatically collected by Taffy's. This information can
include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and
referring Web site addresses. This information is used by Taffy's for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the
service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Taffy's Web site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable
information or personally sensitive data through Taffy's
public message boards, this information may be collected and used by
others. Note: Taffy's does not read any of your private
online communications.
Taffy's encourages you to review the privacy statements of
Web sites you choose to link to from Taffy's so that you
can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your
information. Taffy's is not responsible for the privacy
statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Taffy's and
Taffy's family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
Taffy's collects and uses your personal information to
operate the Taffy's Web site and deliver the services you
have requested. Taffy's also uses your personally
identifiable information to inform you of other products or services
available from Taffy's and its affiliates. Taffy's may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your
opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be
offered.
Taffy's does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to
third parties. Taffy's may, from time to time, contact you
on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that
may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally
identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not
transferred to the third party. In addition, Taffy's may
share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis,
send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for
deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal
information except to provide these services to Taffy's,
and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
Taffy's does not use or disclose sensitive personal
information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without
your explicit consent.
Taffy's keeps track of the Web sites and pages our
customers visit within Taffy's, in order to determine what
Taffy's services are the most popular. This data is used to
deliver customized content and advertising within Taffy's
to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a
particular subject area.
Taffy's Web sites will disclose your personal information,
without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith
belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the
law or comply with legal process served on Taffy's or the
site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Taffy's; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal
safety of users of Taffy's, or the public.
Use of Cookies
The Taffy's Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize
your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your
hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or
deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you,
and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie
to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature
to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that
you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize
Taffy's pages, or register with Taffy's site
or services, a cookie helps Taffy's to recall your specific
information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording
your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses,
and so on. When you return to the same Taffy's Web site,
the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can
easily use the Taffy's features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline
cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features
of the Taffy's services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Taffy's secures your personal information from unauthorized
access, use or disclosure. Taffy's secures the personally
identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled,
secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to
other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as
the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
Taffy's will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy
to reflect company and customer feedback. Taffy's
encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how
Taffy's is protecting your information.
