| At Cuzzles (“Cuzzles.com”), we believe it is important to
protect and respect the privacy of our customers and guests. We are committed to
ensuring your privacy as a guest and a customer as set forth below, and we know
you care about how your personal information is collected, used, and shared.
This Privacy Statement describes our policies and practices in
the areas of: Notice, Disclosure of Collected Information, Security, and
Enforcement. We urge you to read this Privacy Policy so that you will understand
both our commitment to you and your privacy, and how you can participate in that
commitment.
- Notice
- General. In general, you can browse the www.cuzzles.com
website (the “Site”) without telling us who you are or revealing any
personal information about yourself. We will ask you when we need
information that personally identifies you or allows us to contact you
(“Personal Information”). Generally, this information is requested
when you contact us for information, ask to receive our catalogues, or
place an order for our products. We use your Personal Information for
the following primary purposes:
- To facilitate your orders of our products.
- To make our Site easier for you to use by not having to enter
information more than once.
- To help you quickly find information on the Site.
- To alert you to special offers, updated information and other new
services from our company, affiliates, and business partners.
- Collected Information. Cuzzles may collect
information from you in several different ways including the following:
- Registration. In order to purchase or download
products or use the services offered by this Site, you may be
required to create an account with us. During the purchasing
process, you are required to give certain contact information,
including your name, email address, and mailing address. We use this
information to contact you about the products and services on our
Site in which you have expressed interest and to facilitate further
re-orders.
- Orders and Catalog Requests. If you purchase or
download a product or service from us, we request certain personally
identifiable information from you on our order form. You must
provide contact information (such as name, e-mail, and address) and,
where applicable, financial information (such as credit card number,
expiration date). We use this information for billing purposes and
to fulfill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we
will use this information to contact you.
- Log Files. As is true of most websites, we gather
certain information automatically and store it in log files. This
information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type,
Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating
system, date/time stamp, and movements around the site, and to
gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We do
not link this automatically-collected data to personally
identifiable information.
- Correspondence. If you send us personal
correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other users or
third parties send us correspondence about your activities, we may
collect such information into a file specific to you.
- Supplementation of Information. In order to
provide certain services to you, we may on occasion supplement the
personal information you submitted to us with information from
third-party sources.
- Site Usage. Cuzzles may monitor your activities,
preferences, and transactional data (such as your IP address) relating
to your use of the Site and/or services and log this information. This
information may be used to diagnose Site technical problems or problems
with your account.
- Cookies. Cookies are data files that are written onto
your computer by a website, and stay there unless they expire or are
removed by you. Cookies enable us to recognize your computer when you
revisit the Site, and recall your Site preferences to enhance your
experience in using the Site. We do not use cookies to collect or use
any information about your visits to other websites and do not knowingly
allow any third party to create cookies or otherwise collect any
information from our Site. Consult your browser Help menu to learn more
about how you can configure your browser software to notify you when
your computer receives a new cookie. Note that you may also be able to
configure your browser to disable the creation of cookies entirely
(although your full interactive use of the Site may be adversely
impacted if you do this. For example, you may not be able to place
on-line orders for our products.) This Privacy Policy covers the use of
cookies by this Site only and does not cover the use of cookies by any
advertisers or third parties.
- Service-related Announcements. We may send you
strictly service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is
necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is temporarily
suspended for maintenance, we might send you an email. Generally, you
may opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in
nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to
deactivate your account.
- Customer Service. Based upon the personally
identifiable information you provide us, we may send you a confirmation
e-mail to act as a receipt of your purchase. We will also communicate
with you in response to your inquiries, to provide the services you
request, and to manage your account.
- Disclosure of Collected Information
- Information from the Site. Cuzzles will never
disclose to non-affiliated third parties without your prior approval,
your e-mail address, phone number, or credit card information, that we
collect via the Site. However, we reserve the right to outsource certain
activities such as shipping and credit card processing to our business
partners. In such case, we will disclose to these business partners only
such information as is required to facilitate your transactions, and we
will make every effort to have our business partners protect and refrain
from disclosing your information to other third parties. Further,
Cuzzles will cooperate with official law enforcement inquiries, such as
fraud investigations and subpoenas, and will disclose your information
when necessary to comply with state and federal laws and regulations.
- Information Disclosed for Direct Marketing. From time
to time, as marketing opportunities arise with trusted third-party
companies, Cuzzles may share your mailing information after a diligent
review of the offers and methods of delivery. Sharing information will
be done only through reputable third parties who have safeguards in
place. Cuzzles screens all companies who request information and
reserves the right of refusal on any opportunity if the third party does
not meet certain standards. Cuzzles will also cross market between its
affiliated companies and others. However, our customers should be
assured that at no time will personal e-mails be shared. Furthermore,
you have the ability to opt out of any third-party offers. For more
information on the opt-out arrangement, please review the section
entitled “Choice/Opt-Out.”
- Disclaimer. We cannot ensure that all of your private
communications and other personal information will never be disclosed in
ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example
(without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose personal
information to the government or third parties under certain
circumstances, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access
transmissions or private communications, or users may abuse or misuse
your personal information that they collect from the Site.
- Security
Cuzzles is committed to ensuring that your ordering information, including
your customer information, is protected while you are on our Site. Our
company uses Paypal secure servers for processing all orders as they are an
industry leader in protecting e-commerce shoppers on the web.
- Enforcement
If for some reason you believe Cuzzles has not adhered to the principles
of this Privacy Statement, please notify us by e-mail at admin@cuzzles.com,
and we will do our best to determine and correct the problem promptly.

found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality
and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions will not in any
way be affected or impaired and a valid, legal, and enforceable
