OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
At Wishingfish.com, we’re committed to protecting your privacy. We’ve created this Privacy Policy so that you understand exactly what information we collect, how we use that information, and the choices you have with regard to the collection and use of your personal information. Rest assured, we will never sell, rent or otherwise share your personal information with anyone without your consent. Please read this policy carefully, and feel free to contact us at info@wishingfish.com if you have any questions.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
Our site may contain links to other websites that are not bound by our privacy policy, and may have different policies (or none at all). Any personal information that you provide to other websites will be subject to the privacy policies of that site. Wishingfish has no control over the information collection and distribution policies of these sites, and has no responsibility or liability for their independent policies or actions.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT, AND HOW WE USE IT
We collect a variety of information from our customers and visitors as they use our website. Below we’ve listed the types of information we collect, as well as how we use that information. We collect the following data by using Yahoo!’s hosting and backend services.
Contact Information
When you place an order with us, we ask for your contact information (your name, address, phone number, and email address). We use this information to process your order, to send you updates on your order status, and to get in touch with you if we have trouble processing your order. If you elect to sign up for our mailing list, we ask for your email address so we can contact you periodically regarding special offers or products we think you might be interested in. If you do not wish to receive these notifications, we will honor your request not to send them to you.
If you contact us via email or postal mail, we will use the return address you provide to answer your inquiry. This contact information is not used for any other purpose.
Gift Recipient Contact Information
If you place a gift order with us, we collect the gift recipient’s name, shipping address and phone number to ensure that the order is processed correctly. From time to time, we may also use their contact information to notify them of special offers we think they might be interested in. We always allow the gift recipient to opt out of future mailings.
Financial Information
During the checkout process, we also collect your billing address and credit card information. This information is used for billing purposes only.
Other Information
As you browse our website, we collect other types of information -- including the name of the website you came from, which pages on our website you visited, what terms you may have searched for and your server’s IP address (for example, "earthlink.net"). We collect this information through the use of cookies (see below), and use the data to get a better idea of how visitors use and navigate our website. This helps us to merchandise our products more effectively and improve website layout and design.
COOKIES
We use a standard feature of your browser software that allows us to leave a unique identification number on your computer called a "cookie". Cookies can help us personalize your return visits, and save you time during checkout by limiting your need to re-enter information previously provided to us. If you set your browser preferences not to accept cookies, you will still be able to make purchases at our store, but you will be limited in the number of items you can purchase at one time.
WITH WHOM THE INFORMATION COLLECTED MAY BE SHARED
We do not share your personal information with outside parties, except to the extent necessary to complete your order, or to provide services where the outside party is acting on our behalf and has no independent right to use the information we provide (i.e., a third party shipping or customer support center). Such parties are restricted from using your info in any manner other than helping us to provide you with the products and services available on our site.
We may combine individual customer data, including purchases and preferences, site usage patterns and other related information to create collective profiles of our visitors and their activities. We may share this information in an aggregate form with vendors, business partners, and other third parties to describe our website and customers. For example, we may tell a potential partner that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of people from a certain zip code purchased certain items, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.
As a Yahoo! Store merchant, our store is hosted on Yahoo! Store's servers and our orders are processed using Yahoo! Store's shopping cart. Yahoo! Store's servers may capture your IP address, browser type, and the website you came from. In addition, Yahoo! may collect certain personal and order information from registered Yahoo! users who access this store through Yahoo! Shopping. Yahoo! may also use information from Yahoo! Store merchants in the aggregate. Please see the Yahoo! Privacy Policy for more information about how Yahoo! uses this information.
We also reserve the right to disclose personally identifiable information to legal authorities to the extent required by law, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to protect our own or others’ rights, safety or property. Wishingfish.com will have no legal liability for such disclosures.
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Protecting the privacy of children is important to us. Our website is not directed to children, nor do we collect or store personal information from users we know are under the age of 13. We urge children to obtain their parents’ permission before sending any information about themselves over the Internet.
SECURITY OF COLLECTED INFORMATION
As a Yahoo! Store merchant, our store is hosted on Yahoo! Store's servers. Yahoo! Store uses secure servers to protect all of your personal information including your name, address and credit card information. Our Yahoo! Store-enabled checkout process uses industry-standard SSL encryption to ensure the privacy and security of your information as it travels over the Internet to and from our servers. (Please remember that no data transmission over the Internet, or by other means, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.)
