Privacy Policy

At Willa Wirth we respect your privacy concerns. We are committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. To further this commitment, we have adopted this Privacy Policy to guide how we collect, store, and use the information you provide us. This Privacy Policy applies only to personal information collected on the website(s) where this Privacy Policy is posted, and does not apply to any other information collected by Willa Wirth Silver Design offline or through any other means. This Privacy Policy applies only to the website(s) operated by Willa Wirth., and not to any other websites to which we may link. Willa Wirth Silver Design is therefore not responsible for the content or activities provided on those websites.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We will only collect information to the extent reasonably necessary to fulfill your requests and our legitimate business objectives. We don’t require personal information to access our website. However, if you prefer not to disclose personal information, you will not be able to enjoy certain features of our website. Personal information is information that identifies you and may be used to contact you. To offer our guests certain features on our website, we collect several types of personal information. We collect personal information from our guests to register for our website and purchase a product at our online store. We may also collect personal information from our guests to subscribe to our newsletter, participate in polls, surveys, and questionnaires, use e-cards, wish lists, and tell-a-friend features, participate in promotions and receive technical support. Typically, this information includes name, email address, telephone number, shipping and billing address, and for those purchasing products online, credit card information. Additionally, we may also collect other types of non-personal information (known as demographic information) such as your age or date of birth, gender, and hobbies. This demographic information may be associated with your personal information. We collect information through technology to make our website(s) more interesting and useful to you. For example, when you come to one of our websites, we collect your IP address. An IP address is often associated with the portal through which you enter the Internet, like your ISP(Internet service provider), your company, or your university. Standing alone, your IP address is not personally identifiable. At times, we also use IP addresses to collect information regarding the frequency with which our guests visit various parts of our websites. We may combine this information with personally identifiable information. Our website(s) also use cookies. Cookies are pieces of information that a Website sends to your computer while you are viewing the Website. We and other companies use cookies for a variety of purposes. For example, when you return to one of our websites after logging in, cookies provide information to the website so that the website will remember who you are. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You can do this through your browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't have access to many features that make your web experience smoother, like the features mentioned above, and some of our services may not function properly.

HOW WE USE INFORMATION

The information we gather from you while visiting our website allows us to communicate with you, to enhance your shopping experience, and to provide services like updates on special events, news, and email announcements of interest to our users. We will not sell or rent any information collected on our website(s) to any entity foreign to Willa Wirth Silver Design or Willawirth.com. We occasionally use other companies, agents or contractors to perform services necessary to our operations. For example, we may partner with other companies to personalize our web pages, process credit card transactions, analyze customers, interaction with our website, and process consumer surveys. We also provide postal addresses to the U.S. Post Office for delivery purposes. In the course of providing such services, these companies may have contact with your personally identifying information. These entities have agreed to securely store and maintain the personal information received from us. We may take your personally identifiable information and make it non-personally identifiable, either by combining it with information about other individuals (aggregating your information with information about other individuals), or by removing characteristics (such as your name) that make the information personally identifiable to you (de-personalizing your information). Given the nature of this information, no restrictions apply under this Privacy Policy on our right to aggregate or de-personalize your personal information, and we may use and share in any way with third parties the resulting non-personally identifiable information. From time to time, we may purchase a business or sell one or more of our businesses and your personally identifiable information may be transferred as a part of the purchase or sale. If we purchase a business, the personally identifiable information received with that business would be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy, if it is practicable and permissible to do so. If we sell a business, we will include provisions in the selling contract requiring the purchaser to treat your personally identifiable information in the same manner required by this Privacy Policy (including any amendments to this Privacy Policy). The provisions of this paragraph will also apply if we are sold as part of bankruptcy proceedings. We will disclose personal information when we believe in good faith that such disclosures (a) are required by law, including, for example, to comply with a court order or subpoena, or (b) will help to: enforce our Terms of Use; enforce promotions rules; protect your safety or security, including the safety and security of property that belongs to you; and/or, protect the safety and security of our websites or third parties.

UPDATING OR REMOVING YOUR INFORMATION

You have control over the personal information you submit to us. If at any time you decide to update or remove your personal information from our database, you may do so by emailing us at willahwirth@msn.com,  or contacting us via the following mailing address: Willa Wirth Silver Design 99 Congress St Portland Maine 04101

SECURITY POLICY

The security of your information is very important to us. We use Secure Socket Layering (SSL), the industry standard encryption technology, to protect the security of your online order information. While we implement these and other security measures on our site, please note that 100% security is not always possible.

CHANGES TO PRIVACY POLICY

As we continue to develop our website and take advantage of technologies to improve the services we provide, our policies will continue to evolve. If we make any material changes in the way we collect, use, or share your personal information, we will notify you by prominently posting notice of the changes on the website(s) covered by this Privacy Policy. Any material changes to this Privacy Policy will be effective 30 days following our posting of notice of the changes on the website(s) covered by this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to check our website(s) periodically so you know if the Privacy Policy has been changed or updated.
