Dear Guest of Chocolat Céleste:

As both customers of other merchants, as well as business professionals, we take your privacy as seriously as our own. We will keep you informed of any changes by updating this Privacy Policy web page. We want you to know how Chocolat Céleste handles the information you send us via the Internet. First, and most importantly, we will never share or sell your information to outside vendors without your express permission.

Visitor-entered information. We retain information you provide, such as your registration information, transaction information and contact information to provide you the best possible service. Visitors who give us their telephone numbers on-line will only receive telephone contact from us regarding orders they have placed on-line. When you send us your email address with an order, we will use it to contact you in case of questions about your order, to respond to any emails you may send us, and to provide you special discount offers. If at any time you decide you do not wish to receive mailings, we will remove you from our offers list. We will never share your email address with outside vendors, unless you specifically permit us to do so. If demanded by law or court order, we may be required to make exceptions to our policies above.

Data collection. Our Web server recognizes only a guest's domain name and browser and platform type (e.g., Netscape browser on a Microsoft platform). It cannot record your mail address automatically. We use "cookies," which are electronic information tags, to help us understand which web pages are the most useful for our visitors, which click "buttons" might be more convenient than others and which pages visitors select for viewing.

Security. We use industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving customer data exchanged with our site server. All other data transfer is conducted through a secure phone line. We also provide fax and call-in order options.

Children's on-line privacy. Children may not submit information to us without the consent of a parent or guardian. The Children's On-Line Privacy Protection Act, which took effect April 21, 2000, pertains to Web sites directed toward children under 13 years of age.
