Pat on the Back Customer Internet Privacy Statement

Protecting consumer privacy is important to Pat. We hope the following statement will help you understand how Pat on the Back collects, uses and safeguards the personal information you provide to us on our site

I. Information collected online
Pat only collects information consumers have voluntarily provided. This includes consumers' e-mail addresses. Cookies are used by the shopping cart software to remember what consumers have put in their baskets. That's it! These are used so that the consumer need not reenter all products into a basket should a consumer prefer to shop at a more convenient time.

II. How information Pat collects is used or shared
Pat collects information only to complete a transaction. Personal information (such as name, address, and e-mail addresses) collected is only used to further market Pat's products by Pat herself. Personal information (name and address only) are only rarely disclosed to a third party. Pat prefers to keep her wonderful customers to herself!

III. Choices available to consumers regarding the marketing uses of the collected information:
An easy mechanism is provided for consumers to opt out of having personal information Pat collects used for marketing. There’s an unsubscribe button at the bottom of newsletters.

IV. How Pat handles consumer inquiries about their information or her privacy policy:
Contact Pat for her e-mail. For her own privacy, and due to SPAM and telemarketing, Pat's phone and email are not listed on her website, but are voluntarily given when you make a request. This is primarily to keep automated web search programs from sending spam to Pat. Pat respects your privacy for the same reasons.

V. How Pat protects online information
Pat's site uses industry standards protocols that encrypts personal information being transferred over the Internet. We use a secured channel to encrypt personal information being transferred between you and us.
