Information We Collect About You

Any personal information you provide to us is maintained on secure servers and our internal systems. We collect information when you place an order, opt-in to receive our emails, shop online, request a catalog, participate in a sweepstakes, contest, promotion or survey or e-mail us. We may also collect information from you through our catalogs or other marketing material. This information may include, but is not limited to, your contact information (for example, your name, email address, billing and shipping addresses and phone number) and your credit card information.




How We Use This Information

When you supply your postal address, either when requesting a catalog or placing an order, you may receive catalogs by mail from us.

When you place an order on any of our websites, we use this information to process and track your order and contact you via email, postal mail or phone if we have any questions or concerns regarding your order. If you provide an email address during checkout, you will also receive order confirmation and shipping status emails.

We also maintain a record of your purchases made on any of our websites and combine this with information you have provided in e-mail conversation with us in order to serve you better. We may combine information you provide with demographic information and information that is publicly available. We may also use information about your product preferences and interests in order to improve our site design and enhance your shopping experience.

In the unlikely event of a sale of some or all of our business, Modern Conscience may disclose your personal information to a purchaser that agrees to abide by the terms and conditions of this privacy policy.

You should also be aware that we may disclose specific information about you if required to do so by law, governmental request, process or court order or based on our good faith belief that it is necessary to conform or comply with such law, request or court order or to protect the users of our websites or the public.

By using our websites, you consent to our placement of cookies on your computer.

You may occasionally get cookies from our business partners or other third parties. We have no access to or control over these cookies.

Most internet browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you do not wish to have cookies on your system, you can set your browser preferences to refuse them or to alert you when cookies are being sent.

Privacy of Young Children

Modern Conscience is concerned about the privacy of young children and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from a child under 13. We do not sell products for purchase by children and all children's products we sell are for purchase by adults only.




Security

The security of your information is very important to us. We use 256-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your online order information. SSL technology encrypts your order information to protect it from being decoded by anyone other than Modern Conscience.

Once you enter the checkout page your computer will begin communicating with our server in secure mode. You can tell that you are in secure mode by the following:

-The "http" in the web address will be replaced by "https"

-Only browsers that use the 256-bit Secure Socket Layer technology are able to order through our websites. If your browser does not support SSL, you can get an upgrade at Microsoft's or Netscape's home page. Click here for more detailed instructions.

While we implement these and other security measures on our sites, please note that 100% security is not always possible. You play a role in protecting your information as well.




Accessing our Website from Outside the US

If you are visiting modernconscience.com from a location outside of the United States, you will be connected through and to servers located within the United States. All online orders will be accepted and fully processed in and shipped from the United States and all information you provide will be securely maintained on web servers and our internal systems located within the United States. By providing your information to us, you agree that all personal information will be used in accordance with this privacy policy and pursuant to U.S. law.




Privacy Policy Updates

We may update our privacy policy from time to time. Whenever we make a change, we will post the updated policy at this site and we encourage you to check our policy periodically. If we make a material change to our privacy policy that would lessen your privacy rights, we will either continue to honor our prior policy for information that we collected when it was in force, or we will ask for your consent to the change. If you have any questions or concerns regarding our privacy policy, please contact us at sales@modernconscience.com.
