Bounce Greetings respects your privacy. The following statement lists what personal information we collect, why we collect it and how we do – and do not – use that information.

In a nutshell: We will not collect any personal information from you that you do not volunteer and we are the sole owner of all information collected on this site. We do not sell, share, or rent this information to others in any way that we have not mentioned in this statement.

Please read this privacy policy carefully so that you understand our online privacy practices regarding:

1. Information we collect and how we collect it
2. How your information will be used
3. Our e-mail policies
4. Security
5. How to contact us

1. Information we collect and how we collect it

The information we gather on our site falls into two categories: (1) personal information you supply when you place an order or provide your e-mail address, and (2) tracking information collected as you navigate through our site.

Personally identifiable information

When you place an order, we collect personally identifiable information about you such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, credit card information, and similar information about your recipient. We use this information to process your order or request.

When personally identifiable information is collected, you will know because you will have to fill out a form.

Aggregate information

When you use our site, we may collect tracking information such as your browser type, the type of operating system you use, the domain name of your Internet service provider, and pages visited on the site. None of this information identifies you personally; we collect it for aggregate reporting on site activity. For example, we may want to know how long the average user spends on our site, or which pages or features get the most attention. We use this information to improve the performance of our site and our product offerings.

We do not use, place or read any "cookies" on your computer.

2. How your information will be used

Our primary goal in collecting information is to complete your order with us.

Bounce Greetings uses personally identifiable information in a limited number of ways. We use the information to complete transactions and fulfill requests for our services. For instance, when you purchase a greeting ball online, we use your information to process your order, or if you contact us for help, we will use the information to contact you. We also may use the information you provide to send you e-mail and mail only for Bounce Greetings products, programs or services that we believe may be of interest to you.

Sharing your personally identifiable information

Bounce Greetings will not sell, rent, swap, or authorize any third party to use any information that specifically identifies you.

We use third party companies to help us provide our products and services to you, including the U.S. Postal Service for delivery, an e-mail delivery service for order confirmation e-mails and a service provider for payment processing. In those instances we need to share your information with them. We require that those companies use the information only to deliver or process the product or service.

While highly unlikely, we will release personal information as required by law, for example, to comply with a court order or subpoena.

3. Our e-mail policies

Services related e-mail: We will send you e-mails relating to your transactions including order confirmations and credit card problem notifications.

Promotional e-mails: We may also e-mail you messages that we think may be of interest to you about other Bounce Greetings products and services.

4. Security

We utilize a secure process to collect, transmit and store your personally identifiable information. When you provide credit card information, we use secure socket layer (SSL) encryption to protect it.
