To demonstrate our dedication to respecting the privacy of your information, we have developed this Privacy Policy to disclose what types of information we may collect from you and how we might use that information.   This Privacy Policy applies to Davis & Davis Gourmet Foods, or its subsidiaries and affiliates   (collectively, “ Davis & Davis ”, “ we ”, “ us ” or the like)

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, the term “ Website ” refers to each of the web pages contained in all the websites owned, operated or controlled by us, including any website through which we may provide any of our products or services (collectively, the “ Services ”).

As described below, some of your nonpublic personal information is disclosed to affiliated and carefully selected nonaffiliated third parties and used by such third parties and us. By accepting our Terms of Use or by using our Services, you expressly consent to our use and disclosure of your nonpublic personal information in the manner disclosed below. Please note in particular that by accepting the Terms of Service or by using our Services, you acknowledge and agree that the Pennsylvania Electronic Transactions Act (“PETA”) applies to the transactions conducted on or through the Website and that you and Davis & Davis may conduct any transactions contemplated herein by electronic means.   This means that you expressly agree to receive communications and disclosures from Davis & Davis, including those relating to privacy matters, via electronic mail, the Website or other electronic means .   

Because of the rapidly evolving legal and business environment surrounding privacy on the Internet, please be aware that Davis & Davis must reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, in which event we will provide you with reasonable notice of the changes. Please bear in mind that this Privacy Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you.

What Nonpublic Personal Information of Mine Does Davis & Davis Collect?

Information You Provide

Davis & Davis collects information that you voluntarily submit during the registration process through interactive questionnaires, applications or other forms.   We may also offer additional Products or Services or request other information from you from time to time or through fashion chat rooms and bulletin boards we may decide to offer on the Website.   Should you wish to not reveal this kind of information, you should abstain from completing the applicable questionnaire, application or form.   Please be aware, however, that certain information is required in order for us to provide the Services.   If you elect not to share required information, you may not be able to receive such Services.

For most activities, we will need to collect only your email address and password.   We may also ask you to provide additional optional information, such as your name, address, age, phone number, and other relevant information when making a purchase.

If you voluntarily send us any correspondence, such as emails or letters, we may retain and use such correspondence and information in a file specific to you.   Similarly, if you voluntarily submit postings or otherwise participate in any available chat rooms or bulletin boards on our Website, such information will become publicly available.

In order to measure the usefulness and efficiency of our Website, we automatically track certain information from all our visitors. The types of information we might track may include the Internet address that you just came from, which Internet address you go to, what browser you are using, your computer operating system and your computer's unique Internet Protocol address.   We may also collect information regarding apparel, garment and accessory purchases you may make through websites operated or controlled by third parties with whom we may have a business relationship.

Like most interactive websites, we use “cookies” on certain pages of our Website. “Cookies” are small data files that are stored on your hard drive which store certain information accessible to our Website, such as your email address, password and other information you may voluntarily provide through our registration process to permit us to provide Services or which we may obtain through technology. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to use certain features on our Website and you may be required to reenter your password or provide other required information more frequently during a session.   Many World Wide Web browsers currently available allow you to adjust your privacy preferences, so please consult the help files of your particular browser for further information.

In addition, we collect nonpublic personal information about you from your transactions and experience with us or other third parties with whom we may have a business relationship.

How Does Davis & Davis Use My Information?

We use your information to provide you product and services and process transactions that you request.

If you have indicated your assent during the registration process, we may use your email address, your mailing address and phone number (if you voluntarily submit such information) to contact you regarding administrative notices, new Service offerings and communications relevant to your use of our Website or products, services and special offers offered by Davis & Davis and other third parties with whom we may have a business relationship or which we otherwise feel you may find of interest.

We may aggregate some or all of the information described above in an effort to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze Website usage, to improve our content and Service offerings and to customize our Website's content, layout and Services. This information is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis, and we do not generally track an individual's nonpublic personal information, although we may do so for our own internal purposes and for any purposes permitted by law .

We may use your nonpublic personal information to determine, and if necessary enforce, your compliance with the Terms of Service.   We may also use your nonpublic personal information as otherwise permitted by law.

What Categories of Information Does Davis & Davis Disclose and to Whom is it Disclosed?

In order for Davis & Davis to offer you quality products and services, we work with some third parties.   We may disclose to these entities nonpublic personal information about you as necessary to provide these products and services to us for your benefit or directly to you.   We may also choose to disclose your information to trusted nonaffiliated third parties in the future for other purposes.

Co-Brand Service Providers. Davis & Davis may offer a number of co-branded services and products with nonaffiliated third parties.   If you are eligible to use these types of services, we may provide your nonpublic personal information to the co-brand provider offering such services or products in order to permit you to obtain or use the applicable products or services. Because we do not control the privacy practices of these third parties, you should evaluate their practices before deciding to obtain or use the co-branded products or services offered.   In addition, a co-brand provider may directly ask you for certain information to assist it in providing you with products or services.

Companies Offering Promotions, Products or Services.   On occasion, we may decide to offer promotions – like product giveaways – in conjunction with a sponsor.   We will share your information with the sponsors if they need it to send you a product, such as a magazine subscription.   We may share your information with those sponsors so that they can send you other special promotions they offer, but only if you give us your permission to do so.   In addition, Davis & Davis occasionally sends email promotions out to our Customers on behalf of third-party sponsors.   In this instance, we don't share your name with the third party – we do the mailing for them.   Again, we only send these promotions to you if you've given your permission.

Suppliers and Service Providers. We may use some nonaffiliated third party suppliers and service providers to directly or indirectly provide Services to our customers, and we may need to share your nonpublic personal information with them in order to permit them to provide the products and services. In some instances, the third party supplier or service provider may collect information directly from you. You should note, however, that you may not be able to obtain a particular product or service without us or you providing the information requested.

In Accordance With Law. Davis & Davis expressly reserves the right to disclose or report any of your information to any third party as permitted by law, including, without limitation, in circumstances where we reasonably deem it necessary to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, to cooperate with government or industry regulators and law enforcement officials, to perform any necessary credit checks or collect or report debts owed to us, or to protect our rights or property.

Marketing and Advertisers. We may disclose nonpublic personal information we collect, as aggregated or otherwise, to nonaffiliated third parties who perform marketing services on our behalf or to other entities with whom we may have joint marketing arrangements in order to make a variety of products or services available to you.   We do collect nonpublic personal information as described above and may in the future disclose such nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third party advertisers.

Purchase or Sale of Business.   Online business is still in a very early stage and is changing and evolving rapidly.   As Davis & Davis continually looks for ways to improve our business, we may buy or sell a company.   If we buy or sell a business, the information and data collected will likely be transferred as a part of the sale.   Information about users will be used in the aggregate.   However, if we buy a business, we will use best efforts to honor the requests that customers made of that business regarding their nonpublic personal information.   In the event that we sell a business, we will do everything reasonably within our power to ensure that the nonpublic personal information requests you made of us are honored.

How Can I Review and Change My Personally Identifiable Information?

If you wish to change the information provided to Davis & Davis during the ordering process, you may do so during your next purchase or by emailing the requested changes to customerrelations@davisanddavisonline.com .

We will retain in our files information you have requested to remove in some circumstances, for purposes such as to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our Terms of Service. Further, such prior information is never completely removed from our databases due to technical constraints and certain recordkeeping requirements or practices and the fact that we back up our systems. Therefore, you should not expect that all of your personally identifiable information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests, although we will honor your requests to change your information or our permitted email communications as soon as practically possible.

What Choices do I have About Davis & Davis Collecting, Using, and Sharing My Information?

When you do register with us or give us personally identifiable information, you will have an opportunity – at the time we collect your information – to limit email communications from Davis & Davis and from third parties with whom we may have a business relationship .   You can request at any time that Davis & Davis or such third parties not send future email to you either by unsubscribing from the communication or by contacting us at contact@davisanddavisonline.com .   Also, as mentioned above, there are ways to limit the information collected through technology – though some of our features won't work if you decide to do this.

What Kinds of Security Procedures Does Davis & Davis Keep In Place?

The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our customers and business associates is of utmost concern to us.   Davis & Davis takes reasonable technical, contractual, administrative and physical security steps to protect all visitors' information.   There are some things that you can do to help protect the security of your information, as well.   For instance, never give out your password, since this is what is used to access all of your account information.   Also remember to sign out of your account and close your browser window when you finish surfing the Web, so that other people using the same computer won't have access to your information.

Opt-Out Rights

From time to time, Davis & Davis may send product announcements or specials via email to the address you provided during the check out process.   This is only done if you have opted to be added to the email list.   If you change your mind at any time, please send and email to unsubscribe@davisanddavisonline.com .
