Privacy
Policy
TieDomi.com
(also herein referred to as “the Site”) is strongly
committed to protect the privacy of its online guests, customers,
members, and friends. We believe that maintaining privacy
on the web is very important, and that informing our visitors
about the types of information we collect and how we use it
is crucial.
TYPES
OF INFORMATION COLLECTED
TieDomi.com does not collect any personal information about
individuals—such as names and postal or email addresses—except
when such information is knowingly provided to the Site. Personal
information might be obtained from online transactions such
as purchases, subscriptions or registrations. Additionally,
personal information may be transmitted as part of a form
submission or in connection with other activities, services,
or resources made available on our site. Any personal identification
information retrieved by the Site must be voluntarily submitted
by the user.
Tiedomi.com
does collect some anonymous “non-personally identifiable”
aggregate information about visitors automatically when pages
on our web site are requested through a browser. This information
is used for statistical purposes and to help us monitor how
guests navigate our site, allowing us to tailor our services
for the majority of visitors. Non-personally identifiable
information may refer to information about our visitors’
browsers (e.g., Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer),
operating systems (e.g., Windows or Macintosh), Internet Service
Providers and other similar information.
TieDomi.com
collects IP addresses as a component of the non-personally
identifiable aggregate information. An IP address is a number
assigned to your computer by a web server when you’re
on the Internet. This information is used only for non-user-specific
purposes such as determining how many users visited a specific
area of our site. Such information could, if necessary, be
used to identify a user in order to comply with safety and/or
security issues or with legal requirements.
HOW
INFORMATION IS USED
Any personal information provided to TieDomi.com is maintained
and accessible only by the Site unless explicitly stated otherwise.
The
following are examples of how the Site might use the personal
information it collects:
If
you made a purchase at the TieDomi.com online store, the required
personal information (similar to that provided during a telephone
or mail-order purchase) will be used to complete your order.
If you indicated that you were interested in receiving TieDomi.com-related
news and information, you might receive emails that we feel
may be of interest to you.
The following is an example of how the Site may use the non-personally
identifiable information it collects:
Aggregate
data could be analyzed to describe the collective characteristics
and behaviors of online visitors and subsequently be used
to further optimize the effectiveness of our site.
THIRD
PARTY PARTNERS
TieDomi.com has teamed up with reputable third-party vendors
in order to provide certain services to its online users.
The Site has taken all possible precautions to insure that
the privacy of its online visitors is protected by any online
partners. In cases when users leave TieDomi.com to visit one
of its partners’ sites, users are encouraged to become
familiar with the privacy statements of each site they visit.
SECURITY
TieDomi.com protects all personal and non-personally identifiable
information that it receives via the Internet against unauthorized
access.
In
addition, the Site uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption
to process purchases made on its online store. By using this
technology, online customers can feel confident that their
personal information is protected from interception by any
third party. Sensitive credit card information is not permanently
stored on any TieDomi.com web server or system and though
your order information is retained for our records, this information
is never shared with other companies or persons.
What
is a secure connection?
When a secure connection is established between your browser
and a web site, any data that is transferred over the connection
will be encrypted to prevent it from being viewed by a third
party. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption, the standard
for most browsers and servers, makes it very difficult for
anyone to intercept or decode messages exchanged over this
type of secure connection.
Browsers
such as Netscape Communicator and Internet Explorer display
an image of a locked padlock in their status bar when connected
to a secure site. Secure transactions are also indicated when
the prefix in the location bar of your browser switches from
http:// to https://. If you do not see the padlock at the
bottom of your browser’s window, if the padlock is unlocked,
or the protocol in the location bar is not listed as https://,
then any data exchanged with the web site is potentially visible
to others.
Depending
on your browser, you may be able to view authentication information
about a secure page by double-clicking on the locked padlock
in the status bar. For more information on how your software
establishes a secure connection, see the help files for your
particular browser.
