SINCE 1984
Privacy Policy
Your privacy is very important to Agape Tile, Inc. (sometimes referred to as “we”, “us”, or “Agape Tile”), and we are committed to respecting your privacy on this site. In order to provide our Services, we will require information (including address and credit card information) regarding our Users. We will maintain the confidentiality of information provided in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
1. Use of Information
Agape Tile may provide certain demographic information it provides to third parties in connection with its provision of our Service. The dissemination of this information is necessary in order to provide personalized information to our vendors in order for us to process orders. Except as disclosed in this Privacy Policy, our policy is to refrain from selling, leasing, or otherwise transferring your personally identifiable information. We describe below some of the situations in which such information may be disclosed. Agape Tile will never provide our vendors with personally identifiable information which would permit them to communicate with Users or their employees by email. We expect those vendors with whom we share address information to respect the privacy of our Users in the same manner as we do. However, we cannot ensure that they abide by our privacy policies. Agape Tile is the sole owner of information collected through this site.
Â
The information we collect may also include information you submit about others, including the name, e-mail address or physical address of a gift recipient. We only use information you submit about other people to deliver information, products, or services specifically requested by you or to cooperate with law enforcement officials in the investigation of alleged unlawful activities of our customers.
2. Information That Is Personally Identifiable
Our registration format requests certain contact information from our Users. We collect information that is personally identifiable through the registration and purchasing process when processing your order. When a User completes an order, the format will require personally identifiable information for each User, including:
Contact information (examples include name, home address, email address)
Unique identifiers (examples include credit card numbers)
Demographic information (examples include zip code, telephone area code, age, birth date, gender, income level, etc.)
The information we have obtained through this process may only be used by Agape Tile, in connection with processing your order. We also use contact information from the registration format to send the User information about us and when otherwise necessary. Such information may also be used to assess your satisfaction with and to obtain feedback regarding the service we provide and to tailor the visitor’s experience while visiting our Web site.
We may use the contact information we collect to provide, by mail, information or offers which we believe will be of value to Users and their employees.
We may also use the contact information to send our Users information or offers by email which we believe will be of value to them. Users may opt-out of receiving future communications at any time; see the section below regarding “Opt-out”.
Finally, the information we collect will be maintained in a file that we may need to review in a variety of other circumstances, such as enforcing our Terms of Use for Users, analyzing and understanding our customers and their needs, and for the administration and provision of our goods and services.
As a User of the Service, you consent to the aforementioned uses of such information and the provision of information to service providers that facilitate the Service, all in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
3. Aggregate Information
Subject to the other terms of our Privacy Policy, we may aggregate (i.e. assemble on a basis that does not enable one to personally identify you) the data that is acquired under or in connection with this site and/or related to ordering our products and services, including, without limitation, data about the products and services requested and purchased by our Users. Aggregated data may be used by us to improve our Service and for marketing purposes. We may also use such data to determine what types of policies are best suited for our customers and what types of policies our customers request.
Â
Your use of the Service constitutes your consent to the use of such data on an aggregated basis.
4. Policy on Children's Use of the Site
This Site is, generally, directed at persons over the age of 13 who purchase items with credit cards and we do not knowingly collect personal information from or about children under the age of 13 except as relating to a specific order for products or services. If we, at any time, learn that information relating to a child under the age of 13 that we have obtained is other than as set forth above, we shall immediately purge such information from our records.
5. Cookies
Like most other Web sites, Agape Tile’s server may automatically track certain information about activity on our Web site. This information allows us to keep our Web site running efficiently. This information may include: the browser being used (such as Netscape, Internet Explorer, etc.); your operating system (such as Macintosh, Windows 98, etc.); your IP address; and the referring URL and all of our company URL’s that you visit. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site, but your IP address is not connected to information that is personally identifiable.
Â
In addition, Agape Tile may use “cookies” on certain pages of our Web site. Cookies help us track your purchases for our shopping cart.
Â
Because cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our Web site, you are always free to set your browser to decline cookies and you can delete them from your computer. If you decline “cookies” or delete them from your computer, you will still be able to access our Web site, but you may find that some areas do not work as smoothly as when cookies are enabled on your system.
Â
6. Other Use
It is possible that Agape Tile, its business and/or assets, its present or future subsidiaries, joint ventures or any combination of such, could merge with or be acquired in one or more types of transactions by another business entity or entities. Should such transaction(s) occur, Agape Tile has your permission to share some or all of your information in order to, among other things, facilitate continuation of one or more services similar to all or a portion of the Service. Notice of such an event (to the extent that it takes place) will be posted on this Web site and we will require that the new combined entity adhere to the practices disclosed in this present Privacy Policy.
7. Disclosure for Legal Purposes
Given the government’s current interest in Internet regulation, you hereby authorize us to disclose information pursuant to judicial and administrative proceedings, and in connection with law enforcement activities and as otherwise may be permitted by law, to law enforcement or government agencies if we believe the disclosure is necessary or appropriate. You also authorize us to disclose information if we believe the disclosure is necessary or appropriate in the event of an investigation of improper or illegal conduct in connection with our Web site, such as fraud, misrepresentation, intellectual-property infringement, or other activity that may put us at risk for liability. We will, whenever we believe reasonably possible, use our reasonable efforts to inform a User whose information may be so revealed.
8. Other Parties and Your Information
This policy only relates to our collection and use of your information, except as otherwise provided. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of promotional affiliates or other third parties to which we may provide links. Agape Tile does not have control over the privacy policies applied by any other party that you may disclose information to when linking to from our Web site. If you would like information on any other party’s privacy policy, you should contact that party directly, and we encourage you to do so.
9. Security
Agape Tile employs standard industry measures to protect and ensure the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information, including the use of firewalls and SSL encryption. Despite these efforts, we cannot guarantee the security of your information given the current state of the Internet. We also do not undertake to maintain information about you for a duration greater than as provided by law, rule or regulation.
Agape Tile engages in other security measures, as follows:
Physical security of the systems against theft and damage
Software integrity to ensure that only authorized personnel can implement or modify software
Disaster recovery planning processes and systems
Data integrity to check the validity of certain data
Data security administration procedures to ensure proper monitoring and auditing
We believe we employ security measures that adequately address the security needs of Agape Tile customers.
10. How You Can Modify Information, Opt Out, or Contact Us
You can review and modify (or remove) the information you provide us in the order or registration process if this information changes. The information that you may change (or remove) includes any information provided on our order or registration format. To make any of these changes, you may log on to this site and make the changes directly after you have received an identification and password for the transaction or for the individual order.
Â
After either completing your first purchase at Agape Tile or otherwise using our registration module, your registration on our Web site will be confirmed by an email correspondence to your email address. If you do not object to such email within three days, it will constitute your consent to receive email notices and other email communications from Agape Tile. In the event you no longer wish to receive such email notices or other email communications from us, you may opt-out by removing yourself through our opt-out procedures.
