cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block
them in
the future.
IP
Addresses
IP
addresses are used by your computer every time you are
connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by
computers
on the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are
automatically
collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile data
known as

Who we share your information with
Your
encrypted credit card information will be sent to our
retail partners that provide registry and shopping services or to an
online
credit card payment processor to authorize your payment. Although this
Privacy
Policy does not cover the information practices or policies of any such
partners, vendors or third parties, we generally require all of our
partners to
agree not to use your personal information, except as fully disclosed
to you or
authorized by you.
We
may from time to time hire a third party to act on our behalf
for projects such as market research surveys or web analytic companies
that
analyzes information collected on our website through the use of
cookies to
help us understand your interests in our website so that we can better
serve
you. We will provide information to these third parties
specifically for

parties will be protected by a confidentiality agreement that will
obligate the
third party to use such information solely to complete the specific
project.
In
addition to the circumstances described above, we may
disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, as
requested by other government or law enforcement authorities, or in the
good
faith belief disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable, including
(without
limitation) when we have reason to believe disclosing the information
is
necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone
who may be
causing interference with our rights or properties, whether
intentionally or
otherwise, or when anyone else could be harmed by such activities.
Information
stored on our servers may also be transferred to a third party
acquiring or
merging with the company. However, any such third party shall be
required to
use such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
4.
How we protect Your Information
All
order information you provide to us and all information
contained in your "Shopper Account" is transmitted using SSL (Secure
Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a widely used coding system that lets
your
browser automatically encrypt or scramble data before you send it to
us.
Transactions will not be permitted if your browser does not accept SSL
encryption. Only authorized personnel from CaliforniaDreamLife.com or
its
partners can decode this information and such personnel will only do so
in
accordance with our or their Privacy Policy. In addition, to attempt to
deter
the theft of credit card numbers and other personal information
residing in our
system, we and our retail partners have installed secure "firewalls"
and/or have implemented other security measures to help protect our
systems
against "hacker" break-ins. Additionally, all credit card numbers are
encrypted in our system until either the customer or
CaliforniaDreamLife.com
requires the information.
