TimeOnlineDirect.Com
knows that you care how information about you is used and shared,
and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and
sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting
TimeOnlineDirect.Com, you are accepting the practices described in
this Privacy Notice.
What Personal Information About Customers Does
TimeOnlineDirect.Com Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and
continually improve your shopping experience at
TimeOnlineDirect.Com. Here are the types of information we gather.
Information You Give Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or
give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain
information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of
many of our features. We use the information that you provide for
such purposes as responding to your requests, customising future
shopping for you, improving our shops, and communicating with you.
Automatic Information:
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you
interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use
"cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when
your Web browser accesses TimeOnlineDirect.Com. Scroll to the bottom
of this page to see examples of the information we receive. A number
of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites
anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a
personalized experience at TimeOnlineDirect.Com if we cannot
recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
E-mail Communications:
To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often
receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from
TimeOnlineDirect.Com if your computer supports such capabilities. We
also compare our customer list to lists received from other
companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our
customers. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from
us, please adjust your account to reflect this by selecting
unsubscribed in the newsletters menu.
Information from Other Sources:
For reasons such as improving personalization of our service (for
example, providing better product recommendations or special offers
that we think will interest you), we might receive information about
you from other sources and add it to our account information. We
also sometimes receive updated delivery and address information from
our shippers or other sources so that we can correct our records and
deliver your next purchase or communication more easily.
What About Cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your
computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems
to recognize your browser and to provide features such as automatic
login and permanent shopping carts for storage of items in your
Shopping Cart between visits.
The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will
tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how
to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how
to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take
full advantage of some of TimeOnlineDirect.Com's most useful
features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
Does TimeOnlineDirect.Com Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our
business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We
share customer information only with the subsidiaries
TimeOnlineDirect.Com controls and as described below.
Agents:
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on
our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages,
sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from
customer lists, analysing data, providing marketing assistance,
processing credit card payments, and providing customer service.
They have access to personal information needed to perform their
functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Promotional Offers:
Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of TimeOnlineDirect.Com
customers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not
give that business your name and address. If you do not want to
receive such offers, please adjust your account newsletter
preference as that is how we will send out our promotions.
Business Transfers:
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores
or assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is
one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the unlikely event
that TimeOnlineDirect.Com, or substantially all of its assets are
acquired, customer information will of course be one of the
transferred assets.
Protection of TimeOnlineDirect.Com and Others:
We release account and other personal information when we believe
release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our
Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights,
property, or safety of TimeOnlineDirect.Com, our users, or others.
This includes exchanging information with other companies and
organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
With Your Consent:
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when
information about you might go to third parties, and you will have
an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
We work to protect the security of your information during
transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which
encrypts information you input. During the processing of credit
cards, only authorised TimeOnlineDirect.Com staff (those with proper
security access to the data) will be able to see your details. Once
your credit card has been charged for the order authorised by you,
we delete the credit card information from the database in
accordance with
UK
consumer laws so that the information cannot be used for
unauthorised purchases.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to
your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when
finished using a shared computer.
What Information Can I Access?
TimeOnlineDirect.Com gives you access to the following information
about you for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases,
updating that information. This list will change as our Web site
evolves.
Your Account
What Choices Do I Have?
As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide
information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to
take advantage of such TimeOnlineDirect.Com features as Automatic
login, and permanent shopping carts. You can add or update certain
information on pages such as those listed in the "My
Account" pages. When you update information, we usually keep a
copy of the prior version for our records.
If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please
adjust your account to reflect this in the newsletter menu.

children. We sell children's products for purchase by adults. If you
