Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the customer's hard drive containing information about the user. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, users will not have to provide address details each time they order and the shopping basket can remember favorite products purchased at an earlier time. Cookies are stored on the customer's computer only. We have no access to their content. If you do modify your browser settings to refuse "cookies" you may find that our Shopping Basket software does not respond as intended.

Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends and gain a better understanding of how our customers like to use our site. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Links
This web may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.

Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our customers' information. When a customer submits sensitive information via the website, the information is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks customer to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.

This means for example that when you enter your credit card details only the two of us can read the details. Any one else will see only a scrambled mess.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect customer -information off-line. Our entire customer' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information.

Notification of Changes
Changes to our privacy policy will be posted on our Web site. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we would notify customer by way of an email. Customer will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to
webmaster@ar-emporia.com.

Any other questions/comments you can send an email to info@ar-emporia.com
