Privacy Statement::
We believe that to ensure the future of the Internet as
a commercial success it is essential that all the details

All details are collected in accordance with the data protection
act 1998.
We are committed to protecting your privacy.

or rented to others.

Order:
We request information from customers on our order form.
Here customers must provide contact information (like name
and address) and financial information (like credit card
number, expiration date). This information is used for billing
purposes and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble
processing an order, this contact information is used to
get in touch with a customer.
Cookies:
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the customer's hard
drive containing information about the user. For instance,
by setting a cookie on our site, users will not have to
provide address details each time they order and the shopping
basket can remember products purchased at an earlier time.
Cookies are stored on the customer's computer only. We have
no access to their content. If you do modify your browser
settings to refuse "cookies" you may find that
our Shopping Basket software does not respond as intended.
Log Files:
We use IP addresses to analyse trends, administer the site,
track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information
for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally
identifiable information.
Links:
This Web may contain links to other sites. Please be aware
that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of
such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when
they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of
each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by this Web site.
Security:
This Website takes every precaution to protect our customers'
information. When a customer submits sensitive information
via the Website, the information is protected both online
and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks customer to enter
sensitive information (such as credit card number), that
information is encrypted and is protected with the best
encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure
page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom
of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft
Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked,
or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
This means for example that when you enter your credit card
details only the two of us can read the details. Any one
else will see only a scrambled mess.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information
online, we also do everything in our power to protect customer
-information off-line. Our entire customer' information,
not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted
in our office. Only persons who need the information to
perform specific-jobs are granted access to personally identifiable
information.
Notification
of Changes:
Changes to our privacy policy will be posted on our Web
site. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that stated at the
time it was collected, we would notify customer by way of
an email. Customer will have a choice as to whether or not
we use their information in this different manner. We will
use information in accordance with the privacy policy under
which the information was collected.
If you have any questions about the security at our Website,
you can send an email to:
support@3elephants.com
.
Any other questions/comments you can send an email to:
