What types of information does The Raggedy's & Teddy's Co. web site
collect and, how is it collected?
The majority of links and products on our site are offered without our
collecting any personally identifiable information from you. You can
surf The Raggedy's & Teddy's Co. web site and view all of our content
anonymously.
Information You Provide
There are a few activities on our site where the collection of
personally identifiable information is necessary. Those activities may
include things like entering a contest, making a purchase, or contacting
us. When personally identifiable information is collected, you will know
because you will have to fill out a form. For most activities, we
collect only your name, mailing address and zip code, phone number, fax
number, and e-mail address.
Credit Card Information
Our web site is tied to the PayPal Shopping Cart System. You will
see "Add to Cart" buttons next to each item we
sell. When you want to purchase an item, click on the "Add to Cart"
button and eventually the "Secure Checkout" button, you will then
be taken to the PayPal secure web site to complete your purchase. Look
in your browser bar near the top of the page and you will see the link
to the site. It should contain: "https". The "s" indicates the
page you are on is a secure web site. You
will also know you are on a secure web site when you look for the closed
padlock down at the bottom right of your browser.
You can pay by most
credit cards using the PayPal system and, it is FREE to all buyers.
Paying us by PayPal is just like making a credit card payment at a
store, only the PayPal web site is a lot more secure. We do not receive
from PayPal or, maintain any credit card information about you on our
web site or on our computers. Only PayPal keeps and maintains credit
card information on THEIR secure web site. Another point: if you make
a payment to us, and the item has been previously sold, we can quickly
refund your money through this PayPal system. The only delay may come
when you have paid using an "eCheck" form of payment.
Information Collected from You - How Do We Handle It?
We do not store credit card information on our computers. If you
call us with a credit card order, we normally keep that information only
as long as it takes to process your order, then it is shredded. If you
ask us to keep your credit card information permanently on file,
it is kept separate from and not stored on any computer.
Mailing List:
As part of our ongoing process to service our customers and keep in
touch, we maintain a mailing list of our customers. This mailing list
includes your name, mailing address, phone number,
fax number, email address, and order information (but,
never credit card information). This information is kept on our computer
in a mailing list program and facilitates our making of address and
shipping labels. We also may use the information to contact you or to
help us keep track of ordering information. We do not use any
information you provide to send you promotions and special offers from
third-party vendors. So, if anyone contacts you and says that we gave
them your name and mailing address, don't trust another word they say.
What Are Cookies, and
Do We Use Them?
The only "cookies" we have around here are the ones we eat!!! I like
chocolate chip myself. The other type of cookies are pieces of computer
information that some web sites send to your computer while you are
viewing their web site. These pieces of information allow the web site
to remember important information about your computer that will make
your use of that site more useful. Internet companies use cookies for a
variety of purposes including remembering and processing items in your
shopping cart, and to make sure you do not enter unauthorized areas of a
web site. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a
cookie is being sent to your computer. See your computer operating
manual for instructions.
