Privacy Statement
Carroll Gardens, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Carroll Gardens)
maintains high standards for the protection of privacy over the
Internet. The following policy statement explains how Carroll
Gardens protects the privacy of information transmitted over the
Internet from its web-site visitors.
Generally, Carroll Gardens only obtains specific and individualized
data about its website visitors when such information is supplied
voluntarily, i.e., when web site visitors send e-mail to or purchase
services from Carroll Gardens. Carroll Gardens then uses the
information for the purpose of fulfilling the visitors' requests.
However, Carroll Gardens gathers some generic information
automatically, solely to help Carroll Gardens determine the success
and usefulness of its websites. This generic information, which does
not reveal the identity of the visitor, include: what web site the
visitor visited, how much time people spend on various pages of the
site, visitors' domain name types (.com, .org, etc.), and the
originating webpage of the visitor. Carroll Gardens uses this
information to determine customer service needs. In the future,
Carroll Gardens may increase its technical abilities for gathering
data about visitors in order to enhance the services offered to
visitors and customers. This privacy policy will be periodically
updated to reflect any such changes to Carroll Gardens practices.
Carroll Gardens websites may employ "cookies". Cookies are small
segments of text that are transmitted to a visitor's web browser and
which store information on the visitor's hard drive. This
information is later transmitted back to the server that originally
sent it to the visitor upon a later visit to that site. Cookies
allow servers to recall previous transactions to avoid repetition in
data gathering. A visitor can configure its equipment hardware,
usually with its browser to make notification when they receive a
cookie. The visitor can refuse it.
Carroll Gardens will not sell or reveal information obtained about
its visitors to anyone outside of Carroll Gardens unless authorized
by the visitor, it is legally required, or such disclosure is
required to protect the safety of employees, visitors, customers, or
property. Carroll Gardens does not send "junk" e-mail, also known as
"spam". In certain instances, when Carroll Gardens wishes to contact
customers via e-mail, respond to messages, confirm purchases, or
transmit information requested by a visitor, Carroll Gardens will
typically use e-mail. Any time a customer or visitor receives e-mail
it does not want from Carroll Gardens, the customer can request that
Carroll Gardens not send further e-mail.
Carroll Gardens has security measures in place for protecting data
conveyed during a visitor's purchase with Carroll Gardens. Carroll
Gardens employees, partners and subcontractors are required to
protect the privacy of such data. Carroll Gardens wants its visitors
and customers to feel that their privacy will be protected when the
visitor accesses their account or purchases services from Carroll
Gardens on-line. Carroll Gardens denies any responsibility for the
privacy protections or content offered by other sites to which
Carroll Gardens websites may contain links.
Because Carroll Gardens desires accuracy in the information it
obtains and uses about its visitors and customers, Carroll Gardens
will attempt to verify its data and will ask its customers to notify
it of any inaccuracies or mistakes of which they may become aware
through their on-line account data and monthly bills.
Payment Security Statement
Carroll Gardens believes in providing a safe and secure shopping
experience for all of our customers. We provide stringent and
effective security measures on our Web site.
It is our policy to never send private information, such as your
credit card number, via e-mail. In fact, this is a practice we
recommend you adopt in all of your Internet activities.
We designed Carroll Gardens to accept orders only from Web browsers
that permit communication through Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
technology; for example, versions 3.02 or higher of Internet
Explorer. This means you'll be unable to inadvertently place an
order through an unsecured connection.
Our website is securely protected using high level SSL security by
THAWTE.
