Online Privacy Policy
Your privacy on the internet is important to us at ElizabethGeorge.com. Our online privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") describes the types of information we gather online and how we use it. Please read this information carefully. If the online information practices of ElizabethGeorge.com change, we will let you know by posting the Privacy Policy adjustments on our Web site. At that time, we will remind you that you always have the opportunity to opt out of any new use of your Personal Information (as more fully set forth below).

Use of Information by ElizabethGeorge.com
We gather certain types of customer information in an effort to improve your shopping experience and to communicate with you about our products, services, promotions and contests. ElizabethGeorge.com may also use this information to make offers to you, help us develop and improve ElizabethGeorge.com and tailor our site to your interests.
Information Collected by ElizabethGeorge.com
ElizabethGeorge.com collects two types of information about users: "Personal Information" (such as name, email address, mailing address, phone numer, credit card number and the items you purchase) and "Aggregate Information" (such as information about how many users log on to our sites on a daily basis).

Personal Information Collected Online by ElizabethGeorge.com
Personal Information is collected online when users voluntarily register with ElizabethGeorge.com to purchase items, receive electronic newsletters, use community and communication services, answer surveys and enter contests and other promotional opportunities provided on ElizabethGeorge.com, and when users make a purchase. We also maintain a record of your product interests and purchases online.

Aggregate Information Collected Online by ElizabethGeorge.com
Aggregate Information is non-personally identifiable/anonymous information about you, such as age, gender, types of products purchased, pages you access most frequently or search terms you enter. Aggregate Information is used in a collective manner, and no single person can be identified by that compiled information. For example, the number of people who shopped at ElizabethGeorge.com during a specific time period is Aggregate Information that does not personally identify a specific user. Tracking Internet Protocol (IP) addresses is one method of collecting Aggregate Information about your activities online and information volunteered by you. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the Web. The computers which deliver the Web pages to you, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you request a page from our site, our servers log your IP address.

For privacy purposes, all information relating to our customers is stored on a secure server, and all credit card information is stored in an encrypted format.

Use of Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that Web sites, when you visit them, often store on your hard drive. A cookie may contain information (such as unique user ID), which is used to track the pages of the sites you've visited. ElizabethGeorge.com uses cookies to preserve the contents of your shopping bag between your visits.
This information allows us to make improvements and updates to enhance your ElizabethGeorge.com experience. Parts of our site, such as the members-only areas (for example, shopping) will not function if you do not have cookies enabled. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you turn off cookies or refuse them, though, you may not be able to make a purchase from our site, nor will we be able to recognize you as a registered user to allow you access to your account information.

Security and SSL
Protecting your order information is a priority for us. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your online order information. To check the security of your connection, look at the lower right-hand corner of your browser window after accessing the server. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser), then SSL is active and the server is secure. You can also double-check by looking at the URL line of your browser. When accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https." Some versions of browsers and some firewalls don't permit communication through secure servers. In that case, you won't be able to connect to the server and therefore won't be able to place an order through a secure connection. If you cannot access the secure server for any reason, please print our shopping page and place your order by phone at 800-542-4611.
