We at Bears Bearing Gifts know that you are concerned about how we use and protect the information that you enter when visiting our site. We have developed this Privacy Statement because your privacy is important to us and because we appreciate your trust that we will protect your information.

What personal information is gathered when I visit your site?

We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, completing orders, and improving our website.
Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses BearsBearingGifts.com. We receive and collect the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet; the Internet protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using; the browser software you use and your operating system; the date and time you access our site; and the Internet address of the web site from which you linked directly to our site. We use this information to monitor the usage of our site. All of the information we automatically capture provides us with the ability to enhance our customers' search and shopping experiences and to determine aggregate information about our user base and usage patterns. Bears Bearing Gifts will never use this information for any other purpose or share information of its customers with any third party.

When a customer first clicks an [Add to Cart] button to make a purchase, Bears Bearing Gifts sets a cookie to associate the customer with a particular shopping cart.

When a customer enters their shipping and billing information and clicks Submit This Order to complete the order, Bears Bearing Gifts uses this information to complete your order via a cookie. This cookie contains the billing address (and the shipping address if a separate one is used) that the customer used. It does not contain any credit card information. If the customer returns to the store from the same computer within this time, Bears Bearing Gifts will detect and read the cookie and the customer will not have to re-enter the address information. If cookies are disabled in a customer's browser, this "memory" feature will not be available to that customer.

As discussed above, you can choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase, inquire about something on our site, or enter our monthly drawing.

If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please tell us when communicating with us or when placing an order. We will only send e-mails that pertain to a specific order. This may include one email with a special coupon code good for a future purchase. We will not add your email address to any marketing lists that would result in additional marketing emails being sent to you.

Our Privacy Policy may change at any time in the future. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We will never change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected.
