online store.
What ordering information does MelanCo Inc. collect on line?
We may offer opportunities to purchase products online. Customers
must be over age 18 with a valid credit card. When a customer places an
order online, we collect information associated with the transaction.
This information includes the customer's name, mailing address, products
ordered, shipping addresses, and credit card information. We ask for this
information so that we may fulfill the order. We use Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) technology to protect credit card data during transmission, and
adopt careful internal procedures to safeguard this information in our
system.
When a customer places an online order, we will send a confirming e-mail
message. We may also send an occasional e-mail featuring a special promotion
or product that may be of interest to our customers. Any customer who
prefers not to receive an online order confirmation or promotional e-mails
should indicate this preference on the e-zine subscription form. If you
do receive an e-zine from us that you would rather not receive, simply
follow the unsubscribe instructions included in the e-zine.
Does MelanCo Inc. collect personal information for anyone under 18?
On our website we do not collect personal information on-line from children
under 18. We don't keep your (or your child's) e-mail address unless you
tell us it is ok.
What does MelanCo. Inc. do with the information we collect?
We use the personal information we collect for the purposes indicated
at the time you provide such information. If you purchase a product, we
will use the information to fulfill the order. Occasionally, and only
with consent at the time we ask for information, we might also e-mail
or mail you to provide information on upcoming MelanCo Inc. products,
web site updates, and promotions. With your consent, we may also share
information with other MelanCo Inc. brands so that they can let you and
your family know about their products, which might be of interest. If
you want to stop receiving such updates and product information from MelanCo
Inc. or our affiliates at any time, just e-mail us at feedback@cookeeze.com.
Please type "Unsubscribe" in the subject line of the e-mail. Our mailings
and e-mails will also include information allowing you to ask not to receive
such information in the future.
Does MelanCo Inc. share any information about me with others?
If you consent, MelanCo Inc. may provide your information to outside companies
that offer products or services that may be of interest if you are an
adult. Except as described in this policy, we never share personal information
that we receive online from children under 18 with other companies. We
will remove your name from any list we provide to outside companies, if
you just e-mail us at feedback@cookeeze.com.
In special circumstances, MelanCo Inc. may give other companies access
to our information database, but only if necessary to allow them to provide
database or server maintenance or security, help us process and fulfill
orders or requests, or provide other similar services to MelanCo Inc.
If we do provide access, we require those other companies to sign confidentiality
agreements promising to keep secret any information they see. If MelanCo
Inc. believes that anyone's behavior on our sites may damage us or our
sites or anyone else; we may disclose the relevant personal information
in order to prevent this harm. In that case, we might try to identify
the wrongdoer, contact them or bring legal action against them. We may
also disclose personal information if we believe that the disclosure is
required by law, or in response to a legal request.
How does MelanCo Inc. use “cookies”?
A "cookie" is a small file that we save on your computer's hard drive,
which contains non-personal information. Our cookies help to give you
faster access to pages you have already visited; they allow you to personalize
your pages and us to customize our offerings. Cookies keep track of items
in your shopping cart and wish list. We also use cookies to help us figure
out how many people visit our site, which of our web pages they stop at
and how long they stay there. This information helps us figure out which
of our web features is a smashing success and what sites might need improvement!
For administrative purposes, we collect IP addresses, which is the automatic
number assigned to your computer when you surf the web. The IP address
allows us to count total number of "hits" on our sites. However, your
IP address and cookies are not connected to any personally identifiable
or on-line contact information like a name and address, so you and your
family remain anonymous.
Does MelanCo Inc. ever collect information without consent?
MelanCo Inc. does not collect information passively through cookies
or other tracking mechanisms except in the circumstances described above.
Cookies DON'T contain any personal information about a specific user.
We don't use cookies or other non-consensual methods to take personally
identifiable or online contact information about you or your family off
of your computer. Cookies are also not used to collect information specifically
about you or your family for sharing with third parties.

and your family to follow common sense whenever disclosing personal information
