Privacy Policy

1. INFORMATION WE DON’T COLLECT.

We don’t collect information about you for resale to other parties or companies, nor do we buy information on you from other companies. We hate spam as much as you do. If you have received an unsolicited promotional e-mail about Lovetastic.com, it is because a friend of yours (or at least someone posing as a friend of yours) has sent you that e-mail through a form on our Website.

We don’t collect information on your browsing or purchasing habits at other websites.

We do not keep your credit card number on file. It is transmitted securely and directly to the credit card processor itself.

We do not store your password in plain text; it is encrypted on our servers. It is difficult but not impossible to decrypt this information. You should always choose secure passwords (with letters and numbers and non-dictionary words) and never use the same password on multiple websites.

2. INFORMATION WE DO COLLECT.

Form data. Naturally, we receive and may store any information you enter on our Website. We also may store e-mails you send to us. On any form on our website, we only require that you provide the absolute minimum information that we need to be able to serve the function of that form. All other form fields are optional, as explained in the forms themselves.

Cookies. Cookies are short strings of data sent by our server and stored on your hard drive that allow your browser to identify itself to our Website. We don’t use cookies to store personal information, but only to facilitate the functioning of the Website and its communications with your browser. Our Website sets one or two cookies with a session ID unique to you, allowing you to maintain state between HTTP requests so you don’t have to log in on every page.

Automatically captured data. We may log the timing and IP address of some actions you take on the Website (such as when you change your e-mail address or when you use various functions or forms). This logging is intended to help out in the event of a customer service or support query from you and to help us track system-wide bugs or technical issues. In addition, our web server software may record information about your HTTP exchanges with our server and page views, but this information is not directly linked to our member database.

3. WHEN WE MIGHT SHARE THIS INFORMATION.

We will never sell information on you to anyone.

We will never give your information to anyone except in some very limited circumstances, as necessary for the conduct of our business or for compliance with law.

If we are required to do so to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation or to execute a court order or search warrant. If we need to allow an agent, affiliate, or other organization to access our internal data (which may contain your information) in order to conduct the business of the Website. That is, we never provide access to our data to benefit directly any other organization, but we may need to provide access to it if we contract or work with another company to help us work on Lovetastic.com. You can modify and correct most of your account information in the “home” section of our website after you have logged-in.

4. SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION.

You can encrypt your transactions with our Website at any time by replacing the http:// at the beginning of our address in your browser’s address bar with https:// This will allow you to connect with our server using encrypted Secure Sockets Layer software, which makes it difficult to read any traffic between our server and your browser that may be intercepted. Some of our forms, such as the checkout form, require that you use SSL.

We strive to maintain the security of our networks, software, and databases. We cannot guarantee that we won’t be subject to infiltration by computer crackers (if any other Website tells you they can, they’re probably lying,) but we try to store the bare minimum of information on you (as outlined above) to minimize the impact of any potential attack on our servers.
