Home & Garden Party recognizes your concerns regarding the collection and use of personal information, and we want our visitors to know that Home & Garden Party has taken important steps to safeguard your privacy and security. This Privacy Statement describes the information that we collect about you, why we collect it, how we use it, the instances when we share it with third-parties and the measures we employ to protect such information and provide you with the safest and most secure shopping environment possible.

While this Privacy Statement applies primarily to our online practices, certain practices including, but not limited to the collection, use, and sharing of information with others, may be applicable and extend to our offline practices. By shopping through our catalogs, or visiting homeandgardenparty.com, you agree to accept the practices described in this Privacy Statement.

Information We Collect

 Information you give us:

• Whenever you shop at homeandgardenparty.com, we may ask you to voluntarily provide certain personally identifiable information needed to better serve you and/or complete your transaction. This "Personal Information" may include: (i) Contact Data (such as your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address and zip code); (ii) Financial Data (such as your account or credit card number and billing address, when you use a credit or debit card).
• If you search our web site, make a purchase, communicate with any of our departments, such as Customer Service, or choose to use or participate in one of our various services, promotions, programs, surveys or sweepstakes, we may collect additional information.
• From your transactions and other interactions with us, we obtain information concerning your personal preferences and the specific products or services you purchase or use.
• We also may gather or receive information from other companies.

Securing Your Personal Information And Financial Data
Personal Information shared with us as part of your purchase activity is safeguarded by way of proven, industry standard processes. We use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) to encrypt all transaction data, including your credit card number. Encryption is a way of scrambling data in a format that cannot be reassembled by unauthorized users. This data remains encrypted until it reaches our web server and we are ready to process your order, provided your browser supports SSL technology.

While we strive to protect your Personal Information, no data transmission over the Internet, including e-mail, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure against interception. Once we receive your transmission, we use our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. If your e-mail communication includes sensitive information such as your Social Security number or your account, credit or debit card number, we strongly encourage you to contact us by mail or telephone so that one of our customer service associates may gladly assist you.
