Information Collection and Use
SantaBarbaraOutletMall.com is the sole owner of the information
collected on this site. We will not
sell, share, or rent this information. SantaBarbaraOutletMall.com
collects information from our users at several different points on our website.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive
containing information about the user. Usage
of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our
site. Once the user closes their browser, the
cookie simply terminates. If a user rejects
the cookie, they may still use our site. The
only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to
participate in any of our Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly Drawings that may take place.
Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the
experience on our site.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track
user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally
identifiable information.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware
that we [SantaBarbaraOutletMall.com] are not responsible for the privacy practices of such
other sites. We encourage our users to be
aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web
site that collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for
email address.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a
friend about our site, we ask them for the friend’s name and email address. [SantaBarbaraOutletMall.com] will automatically
send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. [SantaBarbaraOutletMall.com] stores this
information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact
[SantaBarbaraOutletMall.com] at [customerservice@santabarbaraoutletmall.com]
to request the removal of this information from their database.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our
users’ information. When users submit
sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and
off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information
is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form,
the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft
Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information
online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the
sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform
a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are
granted access to personally identifiable information.
Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their
password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore,
ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies
are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on
privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers’ information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally
identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you
can send an email to security@santabarbaraoutletmall.com.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of
having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point
where we ask for the information. For
example, our order form has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism so users who buy a product
from us, but don’t want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of
our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional
materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to
unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or email us at support@santabarbaraoutletmall.com
Notification
of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner
different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an
email. Users will have a choice as to whether
or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in
accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
