Cookies and Web Beacons back to top

When you visit our Site, your browser automatically sends us certain Internet-related information (such as the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer you’re using).  We also may use cookies and Web beacons to better understand how visitors use the Site.

Cookies are small text files that website often store on the computer hard drives of visitors to their Site.  A cookie contains a unique code, which is used to recognize your computer when a user of your computer returns to a website that was visited previously.  Web beacons are Internet tools that help us determine, for example, whether a website page has been viewed.  We use cookies and Web beacons to enhance the online experience of our visitors and to better understand how the Site are used.  Cookies and Web beacons may tell us, for example, whether you have visited the Site before or whether you are a new visitor.

The “help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing cookies.  Remember, though, without cookies, you may not be able to take full advantage of the website features on the Site.

Information We Share back to top

We do not sell, rent, trade or otherwise disclose personal information about our Site visitors, to third parties except as described here.  We share information provided by our website visitors with service providers we have retained to perform services on our behalf (for example, to process transaction payments).  These service providers are not authorized by us to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements.  In addition, we may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law, (ii) in response to a request from law enforcement authorities or other government officials, or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.

We may share information with our affiliates, including Yves Delorme and YD Archives, to help us improve our site design and your online shopping experiences. We may contact you, subject to the choices you have made, via e-mail or postal mail in order to provide you with information about new product offerings or special promotions.

We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets.  Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to try to direct the transferee to use personal information you have provided through the Site in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice.

Links to Other Sites back to top

Occasionally we provide links to other websites for your convenience and information.  These sites (exclusive of our affiliate sites, including ydarchives.com and yvesdelorme.com) operate independently from our Site and are not under our control.  These sites may have their own privacy notices in place, which we strongly suggest you review if you visit any linked website.  We are not responsible for the content of these sites, any products or services that may be offered through these sites, or any other use of these sites.

Security back to top

We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized disclosure, use, alteration or destruction of the personal information in our possession which you have provided through the Site.  When you provide credit card information online to make a purchase, we use the industry standard for Internet security -- Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology -- to help protect the information you provide.  This Internet encryption standard scrambles data as it travels from your computer to our server.  Please note, however, that perfect security does not exist on the Internet.  You’ll know you’re in a secure area of our Site when a “lock” icon appears on your screen and the “http” portion of our URL address changes to “https.”  The “s” stands for “secure.”
