The Distinguished Touch respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. We understand that when ordering personalized products that sensitive information is sent to our company. This is why every effort is made to ensure that this information is kept confidential.
What information is collected and how it is used:
The Distinguished Touch collects personal information solely for the purpose of supplying our customers with personalized products and improving our web site. This information is not sold to or shared with any third party companies except to process credit card orders or financial transactions or unless required by a governmental authority.
When ordering product with a credit card, only the pertinent credit card information is forwarded to the third party credit card companies for payment verification. The personalized information for the end product is not forwarded to any third part companies.
Our server, like most others, collects information that is sent by web browsers such as:
- The name, domain, and IP address of the host computer. This information is normally from the computer at your internet service provider, not yours.
- The date and time our site was accessed.
- The internet address of the web page that you came from.
- The page you requested from our site and the size of the file sent to your computer.
- The browser software you are using.
This information is used statistically to determine the content of future web designs. It is impossible to determine the users identity from this information. This information helps us to understand over a period of time what type of information is useful to our customers.
Security:
The Distinguished Touch is also committed to ensuring that the information you send is secure. We use SSL and PGP encryption of the information you send when ordering product. The complete order is encrypted. This includes both personal information in the forms as well as credit card information sent with the order.
Credit card numbers are used solely for the purpose of processing final payment and are not utilized for any other purpose.
When giving suggestions or joining our free membership, encryption is not used at this time.
Cookies:
A "cookie" is a small data file sent to your computer by a web site. Cookies are used to keep track of items you have added to your shopping cart. When you add a product to your cart, a cookie is added to your hard drive in order to keep track of this until the order is finalized.
Cookies are also used for adding products to "favorites" or E-mail a product to a friend from "favorites".
Your personal information is also kept in a cookie on your computer for ease of ordering. After you have entered your personal information in our "Checkout" page, the information is stored in a cookie in order to eliminate your re-entry of the same information the next time you order a product.
