Privacy Policy

The Peppermint Park privacy policy explains what personal information is collected through this Web site, how that information is used, to whom it's disclosed, and how it's safeguarded. This policy applies only to personal information collected through the Web site. By "personal information" we mean your identifying information (like name, home address, and email address), and possibly descriptive information (like tastes and preferences) if coupled with your identifying information ("personally identifying information"). We may refer to Peppermint Park as "we," "us," or "our" throughout this privacy policy.

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION IS COLLECTED AT OUR WEB SITE AND HOW IS IT USED?

We collect personal information directly from you to do all the things typically associated with electronic and mobile commerce Web sites. Examples of the information we collect include name, address, telephone number, mobile phone number, email address, personal preferences, credit card number, purchase and ordering information, demographical information, and sizing information.

This information is collected at various places: for instance, when you check out with your online order; subscribe to catalogs, email offers, and mobile messaging offers; participate in surveys, contests, or sweepstakes; or interact with special-event or program offers.

We collect information about you. And, when you provide it, we collect information about those you know. For example, we collect your gift recipient's contact information to process your gift orders. We use this information to do things like:

• process your online orders;
• open an online account at your request;
• personalize your online experience with content and offers that are tailored to your interests;
• provide customer service, whether it's responding to a request or following up on an order;
• include you in surveys and contests;
• enable you to post your content, such as comments, images;
• facilitate networks of online social activity centered around our products and services;
• enable you to interact with third-party content service providers, whether by linking to their sites, viewing their content within our Web environment, or by viewing our content within their Web environment; and
• market our products and services-for instance, by adding you to our email list when you make an online purchase.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE SHARE WITH THIRD PARTIES AND OUR SISTER BRANDS (OR WHAT INFORMATION MAY THEY ACCESS BECAUSE OF THE SERVICES THEY PROVIDE TO US)?

• Contractors
  We use third-party "back-office" contractors to help handle parts of our business because of their expertise, resources, or scale. They help us do things like fulfill orders, process payments, monitor site activity, maintain databases, administer and monitor emails, administer and send mobile messages, and provide consulting services.
• Law Enforcement and Emergency Response
  We may disclose specific information about our Web-site visitors if we have a good-faith belief that it's necessary or authorized under the law to protect our customers, the public, or our business.
• Sale or Merger
  In the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business assets, consumer information may be one of the business assets that are transferred as part of the transaction.

WHAT CHOICES DO YOU HAVE OVER HOW YOUR INFORMATION IS USED?

• Email
  If at any time you'd like to stop future delivery of our email offers, simply follow the removal instructions located at the bottom of each message. This will stop future email offers from us, but won't stop operational or transactional messages such as email confirmations of your online orders, or customer service communications. We may occasionally provide you with the opportunity to opt in to receive email messages from third parties. If you do opt in, we'll share your e-mail address with the specific third party with which you have opted in. Please review their privacy policies to see how they treat your personal information.
• Cookies, Clear Gifs, and Online Network Advertising
  You may always choose to block cookies or even clear cookies from your computer. Simply follow your browser's instructions on how to block and clear cookies. Note that blocking cookies may not block the "first-party" cookies that are placed on your computer when you visit this site. By first-party cookies, we mean those cookies (whether placed by us or a contractor) that help us see how visitors use our site, and enable us to deliver our ads on our site (as opposed to ads on an online advertising network of third-party Web sites). Clearing cookies after each visit here will prevent observations from multiple sessions being aggregated over time. Please consider the consequences of blocking or clearing cookies. Many Web sites rely on their cookies to provide you with services or features that you have requested or expect.

WHAT IS THE POLICY FOR VISITORS FROM OUTSIDE THE U.S.?

This is a U.S. Web-commerce site. This privacy policy governs the information collected at this site irrespective of where you're located when you access it, browse it, interact with it, and make purchases through it (including those that are shipped to addresses outside the U.S.). This means your personal information may be stored outside of the province, state, and/or country in which you reside, and processed by us, an affiliate or a third-party service provider as described in this privacy policy. Moreover, governmental bodies that have jurisdiction (e.g., courts and law enforcement agencies) may be entitled to access your personal information.

HOW MAY I UPDATE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We prefer to keep your personal information accurate and up-to-date. You may update or modify your billing- and shipping-related information by logging onto your Peppermint Park account.

HOW DO WE ADDRESS CHILDREN'S PRIVACY?

We do not knowingly collect or maintain information provided by children under the age of 13. Moreover, we implement certain age-related safeguards to meet state-specific requirements.

HOW DO WE SECURE YOUR INFORMATION ON OUR SITE?

This Web site has the following types of security measures: limited access data-centers, firewall technology, and secure-socket-layer (SSL) certificate authentication. SSL is encryption technology that provides security for information that's transmitted over the Internet. This site accepts orders only from Web browsers that permit communication through SSL technology.

While we implement the above security measures on this site, you should be aware that 100% security is not always possible.
