What Personal Information About Customers Does Beads and Components Online Shopping Store Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at
Beads and Components Online Shopping Store. 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 Beads and Components Online Shopping Store.
Scroll to the bottom of this page to see examples of the information we receive. A number of companies
offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a
personalized experience at Beads and Components Online Shopping Store if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
E-mail Communications:
To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from
Beads and Components Online Shopping Store 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 account to reflect this by selecting unsubscribed in the newsletters menu.
Information from Other Sources:
For reasons such as improving personalization of our service (for example, providing better product recommendations
or special offers that we think will interest you), we might receive information about you from other sources and add it
to our account information. We also sometimes receive updated delivery and address information from our shippers or other
sources so that we can correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily.
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 automatic login and permanent shopping carts for
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.
However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of Beads and Components Online Shopping Store's coolest features, and we recommend that
you leave them turned on.
