MangoTreeHome.com is strongly committed to your right to
privacy and to taking steps designed to secure your personal and financial
information. To earn your trust and confidence in our commitment, the intent of
this policy is to fully disclose our privacy practices to you. We will only use
your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We encourage
you to read our policy, and to understand the types of personal information we
collect and how this information is used.
Your Consent
By using our site, you consent to the collection and use of
your information as described in this Privacy Policy, which was last updated on
December 06, 2002. Any changes to our Privacy Policy will be reflected
on this page so that you are always aware of the information we collect and how
we use it.
The Personal Information We Collect
General.MangoTreeHome.com and its partners collect personal information necessary
to respond to your requests for our customized products and services and to allow you to
use the resources available on our website, including the creation and maintenance of a
Wedding Account, a Wedding Website, a "Shopper Account" and an online bridal registry.
Personal information includes, but is not limited to, name, physical address, email
address, phone number, age and any other information that itself identifies or, when
tied to the above information, may identify you as a specific individual.
MangoTreeHome.com and its partners also collect information related to your
wedding, including dates and places of the rehearsal, wedding and reception,
name, address and phone number of wedding guests, and information relating
to your gift registry and honeymoon. MangoTreeHome.com also uses order forms
for you to request certain information, products and services. On such order
forms, we collect your contact information, financial information (including
credit card numbers) and demographic information.
Contests and Online Surveys. MangoTreeHome.com and its partners
frequently sponsor contests to give you the opportunity to win great prizes.
Your participation in these contests is entirely optional. Information we
collect for such contests can include contact information and demographic
information. MangoTreeHome.com also values the opinions and comments from all
of our users, so we frequently conduct surveys online, via e-mail, or by
telephone. Your participation in these surveys is entirely optional.
Information we collect in online surveys will include general information on
the use of our site and other demographic information, such as age and income
bracket. Survey participants are anonymous unless otherwise stated in the
survey.
Cookies."Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by
your browser on your computer's hard drive. We use cookies in several ways
(and thousands of other sites are currently using them too!). Cookie files
are used to better understand how you go through our website so that we may
tailor your experience at our website. Cookies are also used to tell us
whether you have visited our website previously, and to help us determine
whether you came to our website from a particular Internet link or banner
advertisement. Cookies can also be used to help you to save and retrieve
passwords and other information and preferences you use on our website,
saving you from having to re-enter this information upon every visit to our
website. Cookies cannot and will not be used by us to retrieve any personal
information about you from your computer that you have not previously and
voluntarily provided to us. However, cookies may also be received when you
link to our partners' sites or when you click on banner advertisements served
by our outside advertising company and we do not have control over how they
use this information. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if
you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future.
However, most of our features will not function if you do not accept cookies.
For more information on cookies, see Cookies.
IP Addresses. When you connect to our website, we record your IP
addresses and information on the type of operating system (e.g. Windows98)
and browser software (e.g. Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape) you are
using. This helps us to diagnose problems with our servers and for system
administration. Your IP address is also used to help gather aggregated
demographic information.
Chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups. We make chat rooms,
forums, message boards, and/or news groups available to you. Please remember
that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public
information. You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your
personal information. Please see Terms and Conditions of Use.
How Information Is Shared And Used
When you provide information to MangoTreeHome.com, the information is stored
in our and some of our partners' databases, such information is used by
MangoTreeHome.com in accordance with this Privacy Policy and by our partners
in accordance with their policies. Information we collect is used to tailor
your experience at our site (including the creation of an online bridal
registry), to show you content that we think you might be interested in, and
to display the content according to your preferences. We also use such
personal information to send you information and promotional materials about
us and our partners. Your contact information may also be used if it becomes
necessary to contact you.
To allow you to use some of our features (including online bridal registry,
online shopping and travel planning), information we collect will be shared
with our partners. Information collected by us and our partners (for example,
when you link to their sites or call a phone number provided by us) will also
be shared with third parties, such as product suppliers, airlines, car rental
agencies, and travel agencies to ensure the successful fulfillment of your
product orders or travel arrangements. In addition, when you use a credit
card to purchase goods and services through our website, your encrypted
credit card information will be sent to our retail partners that provide
registry and shopping services or to CyberSource (an online credit card
payment processor used by many restaurants and stores) to authorize your
payment.
Although this Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices or
policies of any such other entities, we intend to require that all of our
partners agree not to use your personal information, except as fully
disclosed to you or authorized by you. For more information on the privacy
practices of our partners, we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
Any information we collect may be shared with advertisers on an aggregate
basis. In addition, we may from time to time hire a third party to act on
our behalf for projects such as market research surveys and contest entry
processing, and we will provide information to these third parties
specifically for use in connection with these projects. Survey and contest
participation is entirely optional. The information we provide to such third
parties will be protected by a confidentiality agreement that will obligate
the third party to use such information solely to complete the specific
project.
In addition to the circumstances described above, we may disclose your
information if required to do so by law, court order, as requested by other
government or law enforcement authorities, or in the good faith belief that
disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable, including (without limitation)
when we have reason to believe that disclosing the information is necessary to
identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing
interference with our rights or properties, whether intentionally or otherwise,
or when anyone else could be harmed by such activities.
Choices You Have About The Collection And Use Of Your Information
As a user, customer, or contest entrant you will occasionally receive
e-mail updates from us about important functionality changes, special offers
from us and our partners, new MangoTreeHome.com services and other noteworthy
news items about us and our partners. We hope you will find these updates
interesting and informative.
Of course, if you would rather not receive them, just let us know by replying
to one of the e-mails with "Remove†in the body of the e-mail or let our
partners know by following their instructions. Our site also provides you the
opportunity to opt-out of receiving such communications from us and our
partners at the point where we request information from you. In other words,
if you don't want us or our partners to send you e-mails, just let us know.
MangoTreeHome.com reserves the right to limit registration to those who will
accept emails and to those who will provide the requested information.
MangoTreeHome.com provides you with the ability to receive e-mail
subscriptions to various services we provide. If you elect to receive such
e-mail subscriptions, you can opt-out of receiving future e-mails by logging
in to your account and following the appropriate links.
Your Ability To Access, Update Or Correct Your Information
At any time, you can view and/or update all of the information contained
in your Wedding Account, Guest Account or Wedding Website by logging in to
your account and following the appropriate links. Your account log-in can
be easily accessed by visiting our home page at www.mangotreehome.com
However, even if you delete or change some personal information in our
registration database, it may still be stored on our, or other third party,
databases (including those kept for archival purposes).
Security Measures We Take To Protect Your Personal Information
All order information you provide to us and all information contained in
your "Shopper Account" is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
encryption. SSL is a widely used coding system that lets your browser
automatically encrypt or scramble data before you send it to us.
Transactions will not be permitted if your browser does not accept SSL
encryption. Only authorized personnel from MangoTreeHome.com or its partners
can decode this information and such personnel will only do so in accordance
with our or their Privacy Policy. In addition, to attempt to deter the theft
of credit card numbers and other personal information residing in our system,
we and our retail partners have installed secure "firewalls" and/or have
implemented other security measures to help protect our systems against
"hacker" break-ins. Additionally, all credit card numbers are encrypted in
our system until either the customer or MangoTreeHome.com requires the
information.
In addition, when you register for certain online bridal registries or other
Wedding Website features, you will have the opportunity (depending on which
partner you are registering with) to select whether you wish to make your
online registry available to your guests via a password. If you do not elect
to make your bridal registry or other Wedding Website features available
only via password (or if you create a registry with a partner that does not
provide this option), anyone visiting our website will be able to search for
your registry or other Wedding Website features by using first and/or last
names and wedding dates (and on some pages, city or state).
Additional Information About Online Privacy And Changes To Our Policy
Please be aware that on our site we have advertisements and links to
other websites that may collect personal information about you. This
Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices or policies of such
websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of all such sites,
as their policies may be materially different from our Privacy Policy. Any
material changes in the way we use personal information will be described in
future versions of this Privacy Policy. Of course, you may always submit
concerns regarding our Privacy Policy or our privacy practices to our
Customer Service Center at
CustomerService@mangotreehome.com.
Please reference the Privacy Policy in your subject line. We will attempt
