BallerinaGifts.com Privacy Policy

At BallerinaGifts.com (“Web Site”), protecting your privacy is important to us. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes the data privacy practices of Ballerina Gifts, LLC (“Ballerina Gifts”, “us”, or “we”), and addresses Ballerina Gifts’ use and disclosure of personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") — such as name, address, telephone number, email address, and credit card information — that we may collect when you interact with us. By using or accessing this Web Site you signify your acknowledgment and assent to this Web Site's Privacy Policy set forth herein. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use this Web Site.

Personal Information
Ballerina Gifts collects Personal Information in order to process your orders to purchase the items we offer for sale. In case we have trouble processing an order, we will use this information to contact you. Ballerina Gifts WILL NOT, under any circumstances, rent, sell, or trade your Personal Information, for mailing lists or for any other purpose. Ballerina Gifts shares your Personal Information only with outside organizations that assist us in our efforts to fulfill our obligations to you. For example, in the normal course of business, we transmit name, address, and for certain orders including express shipped, telephone information to the US Postal Service and other outside shipping carriers. Likewise, our payment gateway provider securely transmits credit card-related information to our merchant bank. As other examples, we may disclose Personal Information when we believe that disclosure is required by law, or in the unlikely event that disclosure may protect the safety of life or property. In business since 1993, we’ve never had a case exemplified in the preceding sentence. Ballerina Gifts sends notifications via e-mail to keep you informed of the status of your order(s). At this time we DO NOT use mass email marketing campaigns, though we reserve the right to do so in the future. In case you ever receive a promotional email initiated by us, you will be provided a clear and easy means to opt out of subsequent e-mailings.

Non-Personal (General) Information and Technology
Following common e-commerce practices, Ballerina Gifts uses "cookies" to collect general information (“Non-Personal Information”) that enables us to better understand and improve the usability, performance and effectiveness of our Web Site, and for internal reporting purposes. Cookies are small, unique text files sent to your browser and stored on your computer. We do not store any Personal Information using these cookies. If you do not want a web site such as BallerinaGifts.com to add a cookie to your browser’s collection of cookies, you may be able to set your browser options to disallow cookies or to notify you when a web site attempts to add a cookie to your browser. Note however, that disallowing cookies may affect your ability to use BallerinaGifts.com as well as other web sites. Additionally, the computer servers that host the Ballerina Gifts Web Site gather Non-Personal Information about visits to our Web Site and maintain this information in log files on the servers. This information is stored in anonymous profiles and is not associated with a user's account. The information includes, among other data: the time and number of visits to our Web Site, which browser types and versions were used to view our Web Site, and which of our Web Site pages may have produced an error instead of loading correctly. However, no Personal Information is contained in this data.

Data Security
Ballerina Gifts has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your Personal Information in our customer database. Personal Information provided to Ballerina Gifts is stored in secure facilities with access restricted to authorized personnel only. BallerinaGifts.com uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (“HTTPS”) industry standard (the little yellow lock in your browser) to protect Personal Information that is entered at our Web Site. Ballerina Gifts DOES NOT store credit card information. If you choose to make a purchase online using a credit card, the credit card information is sent to Ballerina Gifts using Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) encryption, an industry-standard method for protecting data as it travels over the Internet. To provide secure credit card processing when ordering, orders placed on our Web Site are processed through a payment gateway which operates under its own privacy policy. Although we make good faith efforts to store the Personal and Non-Personal Information we collect in a secure operating environment that is not accessible to unauthorized users, we cannot guarantee complete security for your Personal Information.

Those sites are not governed by this Privacy Policy. Ballerina Gifts is not responsible for the privacy of any information that you provide while visiting those sites. If you have questions about how another site uses your information, please consult that site's privacy policy.
