Privacy Notice
What information do we collect?
We collect information from
you when you register on the site, place an order, enter a contest or sweepstakes,
respond to a survey or communication such as e-mail, or participate in another
site feature.
When ordering or registering, we may ask you for your name, e-mail address,
mailing address, phone number, credit card information or other information.
You may, however, visit our site anonymously.
We also collect information about gift recipients so that we can fulfill the
gift purchase. The information we collect about gift recipients is not used
for marketing purposes.
Like many websites, we use "cookies" to enhance your experience and
gather information about visitors and visits to our websites. Please refer to
the "Do we use 'cookies'?" section below for information about cookies
and how we use them.
How do we use your information?
We may use the information
we collect from you when you register, purchase products, enter a contest or
promotion, respond to a survey or marketing communication, surf the website,
or use certain other site features in the following ways:
To personalize your site experience and to allow us to deliver the type of content
and product offerings in which you are most interested.
To allow us to better service you in responding to your customer service requests.
To quickly process your transactions.
To administer a contest, promotion, survey or other site feature.
If you have opted-in to receive our e-mail newsletter, we may send you periodic
e-mails. If you would no longer like to receive promotional e-mail from us,
please refer to the "How can you opt-out, remove or modify information
you have provided to us?" section below. If you have not opted-in to receive
e-mail newsletters, you will not receive these e-mails. Visitors who register
or participate in other site features such as marketing programs and 'members-only'
content will be given a choice whether they would like to be on our e-mail list
and receive e-mail communications from us.
Otherwise, we do not sell or give out any personal data to any other companies.
How do we protect visitor information?
We implement a variety
of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your
personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible
by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems,
and are required to keep the information confidential. When you place orders
or access your personal information, we offer the use of a secure server. All
sensitive/credit information you supply is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) technology and then encrypted into our databases to be only accessed as
stated above.
Do we use "cookies"?
Yes. Cookies are small files
that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive
through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or service provider's
systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.
For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your
shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based
on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved
services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic
and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools
in the future.
We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't have access to many features that make your site experience more efficient and some of our services will not function properly. However, you can still place orders over the telephone by contacting customer service.
Do we disclose the information we collect to outside parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally
identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice, except as
described below. The term "outside parties" does not include Orings-Online.net.
It also does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist
us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long
as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release
your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law,
enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.
However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
How can you opt-out, remove or modify information you have provided
to us?
To modify your e-mail subscriptions, please let us know by modifying
your preferences in the "My Account" section. Please note that due
to email production schedules you may receive any emails already in production.
To delete all of your online account information from our database, sign into the "My Account" section of our site and remove your shipping addresses, billing addresses & payment information. Please note that we may maintain information about an individual sales transaction in order to service that transaction and for record keeping.

Where is the new CCPA privacy policy and How do I request my information to be disclosed or deleted? -
To fall within the scope of the CCPA, the business must also meet one of the additional three criteria:
Have $25 million or more in annual revenue; or
Possess the personal data of more than 50,000 “consumers, households, or devices”; or
Earn more than half of its annual revenue selling consumers’ personal data. We do not currently qualify for any of these criteria and therefore do not fall within the new guideline requirements. That being said, you may still contact us and we will do our best to comply with your requests.
