Soft Baby Clothing Privacy Policy:
Soft Baby is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. This privacy statement applies to the soft-baby-clothes.com website. By using soft-baby-clothes.com you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
Soft Baby explicitly asks when it needs information that personally identifies you ("personal information"). We will collect such information when, for example, you request information about Soft Baby services, you enter a sweepstakes, respond to a survey on a Soft Baby site, or you subscribe to a Soft Baby service. Personal information we collect can include your e-mail address, name, contact information, preferences, and other information you have entered when registering on our site. Soft Baby also may ask for demographic information.
Soft Baby also collects certain information about your computer hardware and software. This information may include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. Soft Baby uses this information for the operation of its sites and services, to maintain quality of the services, and to provide general statistics regarding use of Soft Baby sites and services.
Use of your Personal Information
Soft Baby uses your personal information to operate the Soft Baby site and to provide the Soft Baby services you have requested. The information is also used to communicate with you regarding your Soft Baby accounts by sending out periodic communications that are considered as essential to the operation of the service.
We use your e-mail address to respond to incoming service and support requests from you, to collect customer feedback, customer satisfaction surveys, sweepstakes notices, and other service informational mailings.
Soft Baby may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Soft Baby or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Soft Baby, the site or the users of Soft Baby; or (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of Soft Baby employees, users of Soft Baby products or services, or members of the public.
Sharing your Personal Information with Other Companies
Except as otherwise described in this statement, Soft Baby will share your personal information with other companies only with your consent. For example, when subscribing to a service that involves a third party to facilitate the service, your personal information will be shared.
Agents
We use a credit card processing company (including Authorize.net & HSBC Bank) to bill you for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any other purposes.
Control of your Personal Information
Promotional and customer feedback information may be sent about products and services from Soft Baby or our partners, special promotional offers, sweepstakes, contests, and/or customer surveys. You have the ability to opt-in or opt-out from receiving this type of information
We provide you the opportunity to opt-out of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes when we ask for this information. For example, if you purchase a product/service but do not wish to receive any additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your preference on our order form.
If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each newsletter or communication or by emailing us at info@soft-baby-clothes.com.
You will be notified when any third party that is not our agent/service provider collects your personal information, so you can make an informed choice as to whether or not to share your information with that party.
You also have the ability to change your contact preferences at any time, either by changing your contact preferences on the Soft Baby site or by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in each mailing.
Access to your Personal Information
You may update, edit, or delete the personal information you have shared with Soft Baby or change your contact preferences at any time when you are signed in to the Soft Baby site from within the My Account page.
Security of your Personal Information
Soft Baby is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number) on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). [To learn more about SSL, follow this link http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&oi=defmore&q=define:SSL.]
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Use of Cookie
To make it easy and convenient for you to login to our services, the Soft Baby site requires you to enable cookies to utilize our services. Because we use cookies, you can bookmark your Soft Baby start page and access your account without logging in.
A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. When you return to the same Soft Baby site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you will not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Soft Baby Web site or other Web sites you visit.
Cookies are not in away tied to Personally Identifiable Information.
Links to Soft Baby Partners and Other Sites
Soft Baby sites contain links to other web sites. You should carefully examine the privacy statements of sites linking to or from Soft Baby before providing any personal information to those sites. Personal information that you choose to provide to other web sites will be subject to the privacy policies of that specific web site. Soft Baby is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the Soft Baby family of websites.
Use of Third Party Ad Networks
The majority of the online banner advertisements you see on the Soft Baby Web sites are displayed by Soft Baby. In addition, Soft Baby also allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to display advertisements on Soft Baby Web sites. Some of these ad networks may place a persistent cookie on your computer. Doing this allows the ad network to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. In this way, ad networks may compile information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. Soft Baby does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third-party ad servers or ad networks.
Soft Baby may maintain relationships with a number of the third-party ad networks. Those ad networks that use persistent cookies may offer you a way to opt out of ad targeting.
Changes to this Statement
Soft Baby will occasionally update this privacy statement to reflect company and customer feedback. When Soft Baby posts changes to this statement, we will also revise the "last updated" date at the top of the statement. If there are material changes to this statement, Soft Baby will notify you by placing prominent notice on the Web site. Soft Baby encourages you to periodically review this statement to be informed of how Soft Baby is helping to protect your information.

Soft Baby welcomes your comments regarding this privacy statement. If you believe that Soft Baby has not adhered to this statement, please contact us by e-mail, and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine and remedy the problem.
