Privacy Notice

Information Collection and Use Feminine Mystique is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Feminine Mystique collects information from our users at several different points on our Website. Registration If a user chooses to register with our site, said user is required to give the following: a unique password, a unique user name, shipping and billing addresses, a contact phone number, date of birth, and a valid email address. This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest. Ordering We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, security number, and expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer´s orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user. If ordering online, no financial information will be requested by Feminine Mystique, as all online orders are processed through Paypal. Cookies A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user´s hard drive containing information about the user. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. We do not normally use cookies on BatteriesAreAGirlsBestFriend.com; however, we can use them occasionally to collect demographic and technical information which is in no way linked to personal identifiable information. Log Files We use Log Files to identify IP addresses, browser type, domain name, date and time users have accessed BatteriesAreAGirlsBestFriend.com. The data is used to analyze trends, administer the site, track users´ movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. Sharing We share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person. We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and Paypal to bill users for goods and services. We may, from time to time, partner with other parties to provide specific services that are of value to our users. Users of our site are always notified when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether or not they should proceed with services that require an outside party. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services. We do not disclose any personally identifiable information about our users in our chat rooms or in our bulletin boards. We inform our users through our Privacy Policy page to be aware that if they voluntarily choose to disclose any personally identifiable information about themselves, that might increase their chance of receiving unsolicited emails from others. When any user is in a private chat room with one of our experts getting advice, no other user can view their chat. When a user sends a question to one of our experts via email, we post that user´s question and our expert´s answer only after making sure that there is no personally identifiable information about the user. Legal Disclaimer We may disclose personal information when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary in order to conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal process served on our website. Links This Website may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that Feminine Mystique is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website. Contact Us We use email links located on the "Contact Us" page that will allow you to contact us directly with any questions or comments you may have. Please use the email address that pertains to your particular concern. We read every message received and directly respond to messages related to customer orders. Messages that do not relate to orders may be reviewed and filed to improve the site and program. Your personal information is only shared with third parties with your explicit permission. Newsletter If a user chooses to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for information such as full name, date of birth, and a valid email address. Contests / Drawings From time to time, our site requests information from users during drawings. Participation in these drawings is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name, phone number, and shipping address) and demographic information (such as ZIP code and age). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. By law, we are required to post the names of drawings and contest winners; please be aware of this prior to entering into any of our drawings or contests. Security This website takes every precaution to protect our users´ information. When users submit sensitive information through the website, their information is protected both online and offline. Our staff will not disclose any customer information, names or purchasing information to anyone outside of Feminine Mystique, unless required to do so by law. All of our users´ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desks. When they return, they must re-enter their password to regain access to your information. Furthermore, all of our employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, Feminine Mystique conducts in-house trainings on our customer care policies so that our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure that our customers´ information is protected. Finally, the servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment behind a locked cage. If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to: customerservice@batteriesareagirlsbestfriend.com. Special Offers We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username. Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see our choice and opt out below. Site and Service Updates We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members are not able to unsubscribe from service announcements, which contain important information about the service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services and with regard to issues relating to her or his account by email or phone. Correction/Updating Personal Information If a user´s personally identifiable information changes (such as your ZIP code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user´s personal data provided to us. This can usually be done at the member information page or by emailing our Customer Support at: customerservice@batteriesareagirlsbestfriend.com. Choice/Opt-Out Feminine Mystique provides its users with the option of opting out of all mailings. Therefore, when there is a choice of using information for purposes other than what the information was originally collected for, Feminine Mystique will present the user with an opt out box. Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt out of receiving these communications by sending a blank email to us at: unsubscribe@batteriesareagirlsbestfriend.com. Users of our site are always notified when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether or not they should proceed with services that require an outside party. Notification of Changes If we change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Privacy Policy page that can be accessed throughout the site, so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected. Discreet Product Shipping To further ensure your privacy, all of Feminine Mystique´s products are discreetly delivered in plain boxes.
