OUR SECURITY AND PRIVACY POLICY

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice to explain the steps we designed to secure your personal and financial information. The intent of this policy is to fully disclose our privacy practices to you. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our home page and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested. We will only use your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

By using our web site, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy, which was last updated on December 29, 2006. 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.

How We Keep Your Information Secure
This web site employs 128-bit SSL (secure socket layer) to encrypt and transmit all of your personal information. 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. We use strong security measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of your information under our control.

We use the services of GeoTrust which utilizes 128-bit SSL certificates thereby offering the highest level of encryption or security possible. This means you can rest assured that communications between your browser and this site's web servers are private and secure. To authorize and validate your credit card information, we use VeriSign (now owned by PayPal) as our Payment Processor. VeriSign will route, process, and secure your payment information. We securely transmit your credit card and order information for processing through VeriSign's secure online payment infrastructure.

To further maintain a secure and pleasant experience at our store, this site is tested and certified daily to pass the FBI/SANS Internet Security Test. The "live" HACKER SAFE mark appears only when a web site's security meets the highest security scanning standards of the U.S. government, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB. Sites free of all known vulnerabilities that can be remotely scanned for, such as those earning HACKER SAFE certification, prevent over 99.99% of hacker crime. The HACKER SAFE mark is visibly located at the top of our left navigation bar on every page within our store.

In the unlikely event of unauthorized use of your credit card, most banks will cover all the resulting charges or limit your liability to $50. Please check with your bank and review their policy.

Cookies
This web site uses a feature of your Internet Web browser called a cookie to assign an identification code to your computer. Cookies are files that your Web browser places on your computer's hard drive. Cookies are used to remember the items you have placed in your shopping basket as you browse our virtual aisles of unique products. We do not and cannot use cookies to retrieve personal information about you from your computer unless such information was knowingly and willingly provided by you.

How We Use Your Personal Information
We use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order only to complete that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order (Payment Processor to validate and authorize a credit card; Merchant Bank to transfer funds).

Our Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices or policies of any third party companies we work with.

E-mail Addresses
Bliss! Weddings Market does not sell, rent or lease email addresses to any third parties.

We collect your e-mail address to 1) provide you with a confirmation that your order has been received, 2) send digital proofs where applicable (Bridal Labels and Hang Tags, Digital Monograms, Custom Concert Tickets, to name just a few products that require an online proof approval) 3) to inform you that your order has been shipped, and 4) to allow us to contact you if there is a problem with your order.

Products that come with a digital proof require that we provide your e-mail address to the third party company that is customizing the product.
