IV. IP Address and Cookies. We also collect "non-personal" information from you, such as your browser type, the URL of the previous web site you visited, your ISP, operating system, and your IP address. "Non-personal" information cannot be easily used to personally identify you. We may use your non-personal information to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website. Your non-personal information may also be used to gather broad demographic information and to recognize customer traffic patterns and website usage. This information aids us in merchandising and in developing the design and layout of the website. In addition, like almost all e-commerce web sites, we use "cookies." Cookies are bits of information that are stored on your computer by your web browser. Although our cookies don't store any of your personal information, they do allow us to do things like keep items in your shopping cart between visits or during the same visit or provide you with a more personalized user experience.

 

Whether you want your web browser to accept cookies or not is up to you. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. You can also disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-ons settings or visiting the Web site of its manufacturer. However, because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of features and services, we recommend that you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block our cookies, you will not be able to add items to your Cart, proceed to checkout, or use any services that require you to sign in. If you haven't changed your computer's settings, most likely your browser already accepts cookies.

 

V. Contact Information for Questions. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, you may contact us at stone.cicada.studio@gmail.com. We will do our best to respond to you in a timely and professional manner to answer your questions and resolve your concerns.

Please include your complete name, e-mail address and mailing address. Note that you may still receive customer service related communications from us.

 

How we protect your information:

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us from unauthorized access or disclosure, both during transmission and once we receive it. For example, we take reasonable measures to limit access to this information to authorized personnel who need to know that information in order to operate, develop, ship, or improve our Service or products.

 

However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information or other information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. As a result, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit on or through the Website or Service and you do so at your own risk. We assume no liability for any disclosure of data due to errors in transmission, unauthorized third party access, other acts of third parties, or other acts or omissions.
