Our Privacy Policy

Your privacy and security are important to The Cake Ball Company. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the collection, use and possible disclosure of that information. This privacy policy applies to your use of the website located at www.cakeballs.com.

1. Collection and Use of Information.

Registration

If you elect to register on the Website, including as a customer or for our mailing list, you may be asked to provide information such as your name, address, phone number, email address and credit card, on registration forms. In addition to the uses set forth in Section 2 of this privacy policy, your registration information may also be used to contact you when necessary for customer service reasons. Although The Cake Ball Company will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of the registration information, transmissions made by means of the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be secure. The Cake Ball Company has no liability for disclosure of registration information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties.

Cookies

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Generally, cookies work by assigning to your computer a unique number that has no meaning outside of our site. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information; we use them to provide features such as personalization, to save your account or session ID and to keep track of your shopping cart. We may also use cookies to assist us in delivering content specific to your interests. Additionally, after you've entered your account ID and password during a session on our service, we save that information so you don't have to re-enter it repeatedly during that session. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. Not accepting cookies may make certain features of the Website unavailable to you.

IP Address

When you visit the Website, we may collect IP addresses automatically for the purposes of system administration and to audit the use of our Website. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you begin service with an Internet Service Provider. Each time you access our Website and each time you request one of our pages, our server logs your IP address. We may use your IP address to identify you, to administer the Website, to assist in diagnosing problems with our server, to monitor our system performance and/or to make it easier and more convenient for you to navigate and use the Website.

2. Additional Uses of Information.

All of the information we collect, both what you tell us and what we collect (such as through the use of cookies), is used to personalize your account, to customize our services and to allow our representatives to contact you. It is The Cake Ball Company's policy not to disclose to third parties any personally identifying information about you without your consent (usually obtained through an “opt-in” or "opt-out" option that you may select or deselect, as applicable, at the time that you provide the information). The Cake Ball Company will not sell, rent, share, swap or otherwise disclose to any third party the personal information that you provide via the Website unless you select to “opt-in” of such disclosures during registration. Such information will often be disclosed on an aggregated basis (meaning that the information from many Cake Ball Company users is grouped together). We may also use contact information that you provide to send you information about our company and promotional or other materials from some of our commercial partners. Again, your personal information will not be shared with such partners without your consent (such as through an “opt-in” or “opt-out” option as described above).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, we may release your personal information to third parties: (1) to comply with valid legal requirements such as a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order; or (2) in special cases, when we believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person.

3. Third Party Websites.

The Website may include links to partners, advertisers and third party Internet sites and services that may collect data in connection with registrations, promotions, e-commerce, etc. Third party websites may also link to the Website. Any third party websites (including those linked from the Website, or linking to the Website) have separate privacy and data collection practices and The Cake Ball Company has no responsibility or liability for any third party website policies or actions and is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites nor does The Cake Ball Company make any warranties or representations about the contents, products or services offered on such websites or the security of any information you provide to them. As a result, we recommend you review the privacy policy of each of the websites you visit.

4. Changes To Our Policy.

The Cake Ball Company reserves the right to modify or supplement this privacy policy at anytime. If we make any changes, we will update the Website and privacy policy to include such change and notice thereof. Please review this privacy policy often to review any changes that may affect your use of the Website. Your continued use of the Website once the revised privacy policy has been posted on the Website affirms your agreement to such changes.

5. Children’s Privacy Policy.

The following sets forth the website information gathering and dissemination practices of relating to information collected from children. This policy only applies to the Website and does not apply to third party websites, or to companies and persons that are not controlled, affiliated with or managed by The Cake Ball Company. The Website is not intended for use by children under age thirteen. The Cake Ball Company will not knowingly accept information from individuals who are under thirteen years of age without first obtaining verifiable parental consent.

We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children and do not ask them to disclose such information, other than that information necessary to determine their age. If such child is thirteen or older, then they may use the Website. However, for kids of any age, we advise parents to discuss with their children restrictions regarding the disclosure of personal information on the Internet. From time to time, if a child under the age of thirteen accesses our site, we may request personally identifiable information such as the child's email address and/or parent's or guardian's email address in order to determine if such child has their parent’s or guardian’s permission to access our site. We will use reasonable efforts to contact the parent or guardian to confirm their permission. We may also collect and use a child’s personal information for the sole purpose of responding to a single request by the child. Information is collected actively, such as through registration forms, and passively, such as through cookies. All personally identifiable information collected by us from children under thirteen is securely maintained and used only for this purpose.

8. Site Security

This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.

Our site uses Full 128-bit encryption technology.

Protecting your order information is a priority. The Cake Ball Company makes every effort to protect your online order information Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology By GeoTrust.

Digital certificates secure communications between your browser and our secure servers. Through electronic credentials, digital certificates help identify and encrypt electronic messages over networks like the Internet, company intranets or extranets.

Digital certificates allow you to verify your identity, privileges or relationship to another party in an online transaction. When used in combination with encryption, they also allow you to encrypt information that you send to another person to provide additional assurance that only the intended party can access the data and that the data will not be compromised en route. Digital certificates facilitate these security measures, which in turn allow applications like e-mail, on-line trading, and credit card purchasing, to be executed in a more secure environment.

SSL encrypts your order information to avoid the decoding of that information by anyone other than The Cake Ball Company. To check the security of your connection, look at the lower right-hand corner of your browser window after accessing the server. If you see a closed lock or a unbroken key (depending upon your browser), then SSL is active. (You can also double-check by looking at the URL line of your browser. When accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https.")
