Collection Of Information

We collect information you provide us on servers located in the United States. We collect information when, for example, use our website and mobile features (together, “Services”), purchase from us, or otherwise provide us information about yourself.

The type of information we collect may include:

• Account information we may collect includes your name, postal and e-mail address, phone number, social media username(s), and any information you may share about your interests and preferences.
• Transaction information we may collect includes account information as well as your credit card information and transaction history.
• We may also automatically collect information about you when you access or use our Services. Automatically collected data may include log-in information (browser type, access date & time, publisher IP, etc.), device information, as well as your location information if required. For further information regarding these collection practices, please see our “Internet Technologies Used” and “Third Party Advertising, Analytics, and Services” sections below.

In addition, we may use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to collect information about you and your interaction with our Services, including information about your browsing and purchase behavior on our website and other interaction with our Services.

A cookie is a tiny element of data that our site sends to a user’s browser, which may then be stored on the user’s hard drive so that we can recognize the user’s computer or device when they return.

We use this information in one or more of the ways described in the “Use of Information” section below. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default, but you can change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie or to remove or reject certain cookies.

However, if you decide not to accept cookies from our site, you may not be able to take advantage of all of the site features.

Use Of Information

The information we collect is generally used to process your requests or transactions, provide you with the Services, personalize them to you and maintain and improve their quality, tell you about opportunities we think will be of interest and understand your needs so that we can serve you better.

For example, we may use your e-mail to communicate about opportunities and programs.

If you prefer not to receive Promotional Information from us, we make it easy for you to let us know. You can contact us at any time to request an update to your personal information on file or modify our use of it (see Your Choices below).

Sharing Of Information

We may share personal information about you outside of KnittingHabits.com. For example:

We may provide to third party service providers certain information that is necessary to fulfill an order you have placed with us.

For example, if you request shipment for a purchase, we may provide your address to the shipping carrier, and if you pay by a credit or debit card, your card number and sales transaction information are passed on to the card processor and/or issuer (including their service providers such as fraud verification services).

We may also use service providers to provide services such as hosting the site and providing advertising and marketing services.

However, we give vendors, suppliers, and others involved in the commercial distribution chain only the information needed to provide you the products or services you order, such as shipping and/or billing address, e-mail address, telephone number and product orders.

Moreover, we require them to keep the information confidential and not to use it for other purposes. We are not responsible for any additional information you provide directly to these parties, and we encourage you to become familiar with their practices before disclosing information directly to them.

Our service providers may be located in the U.S., Canada or other foreign countries.

We also may share your information when you specifically ask or authorize us to do so, or when we conclude disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, to enforce our agreements and policies, and where circumstances otherwise warrant doing so.

Social Sharing Features

Our websites and Services may offer social sharing features or other integrated tools, which let you share actions you take on the Services with other media, and vice versa.

The use of such features enables the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the third party providers of the social sharing features you select.

Your use of any social sharing features offered by the Services is governed by our Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with third-party social sharing platforms, please visit the third-party providers’ privacy policies.

Security

We take commercially reasonable measures to secure and store your personal information to protect against its loss, misuse or alteration while under our control.

We use industry standard security measures when accepting your credit card information during the online ordering process, as well as whenever we ask you to login to any of our Services. That said, data transmission over the Internet is not 100% secure.

Although we use industry standard security measures, we do not guarantee against the loss, misuse or alteration of any information during its delivery or under our control. We thus urge you to always take care how you handle and disclose your personal information over the Internet.

These small pieces of program code or “files” reside on your computer hard drive and browser and can be removed. If you desire to remove the technologies you may do so, but this may render our Services unusable to you.

You can opt out of cookies or the other Internet technologies used by disabling these features in your browser program. Consult your browser’s “Help” menu for assistance in changing cookie settings or removing cookie files.
