Cookies
A cookie is a text file stored on your computer's hard drive.
Web sites create cookies to record information about your
preferences, such as the items you add to your shopping
cart, and for security reasons. Most cookies expire after
a certain time period. The most popular browsers, such as
Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer, can be set to
give you the option of accepting or rejecting all cookies.
To shop
online at QualityVanities.com, your browser will need to be
configured to accept cookies. Here's how to do it: In Netscape
Navigator 4.x, click the Edit menu and select Preferences
from the browser's drop-down menu. In the tree structure,
click Advanced. Under Cookies, click "Accept only cookies
that get sent back to the originating server" and "Warn
me before accepting a cookie" (optional). In Internet
Explorer 4.x, click the View menu and select Internet Options
from the drop-down menu. Click the Advanced tab, scroll
to the Security heading, and select "Prompt before
accepting cookies." We suggest that you accept cookies
only from Web sites created by companies you know and trust.

number(s) are used by QualityVanities.com in order to provide

that our customer service representatives need to contact

Information is used internally in connection with QualityVanities.com's
business, including QualityVanities.com promotional, marketing
and advertising efforts, in a manner which does not readily
identify a user to any third party.
Credit
Card Security
The Internet is a vast network of computers. Because the
data passes from computer to computer, some Internet shoppers
worry that unauthorized persons may intercept the data and
gain access to credit card numbers, but shopping on a secure
site is actually safer than handing a credit card to a cashier.
Taking the steps below will lower the chances of interception
of your credit card number:
Limit
your online shopping to Internet merchants, such as QualityVanities.com,
with sites equipped with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.
SSL prevents unauthorized people from intercepting your
data.
Use a browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer,
that supports SSL. These browsers show a symbol in the status
bar, such as a key or lock, when you are on a site that
uses SSL. Most banks will cover the cost of fraud resulting
from unauthorized use of your credit card or may limit your
liability.
Credit card information collected by QualityVanities.com is
encrypted through Secure Sockets Layer before it is transmitted
over the Internet.
QualityVanities.com
fully cooperates with law enforcement agencies in identifying
those who use our services for illegal activities, and may
in its sole discretion disclose personal information or
other information to satisfy any law, regulation, subpoena,
or government request. QualityVanities.com reserves the right
to release personal information or other information about
users who we believe are engaged in illegal activities or
are otherwise in violation of our Terms of Use, even without
a subpoena, warrant or court order, if we believe in our
sole discretion that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate
to operate the website, or to protect the rights or property
of QualityVanities.com , its affiliates, or any of their officers,
directors, or employees, agents, third-party content providers,
suppliers, sponsors, or licensors. QualityVanities.com also
reserves the right to report to law enforcement agencies
any activities we reasonably believe in our sole discretion
to be unlawful.
