L. Tremain, Inc. are committed to respecting your privacy
and recognizing your need for appropriate protection and management
of personally identifiable information you share with us (the phrases
"personally identifiable information" or "personal information"
mean any information by which you can be identified, such as your name,
address, telephone number, etc.). The purpose of this privacy policy
is to inform you of what personally identifiable information or personal
information we may collect from you when you visit our web sites, how
we use such information, and the choices you have regarding our use
of, and your ability to review and correct, the information. This policy
applies only to users accessing our web site from the United States.
As a part of our commitment to your privacy, L. Tremain, Inc. support and adhere to the guidelines and practices adopted
by the Direct Marketing Association's "Privacy Promise to American
Consumers." We have agreed to (1) provide customers with notice
of their ability to opt out of information rental, sale or exchange
with other marketers; (2) honor customers' requests not to share their
information with other marketers; and (3) honor customers' requests
not to receive mail, telephone or other solicitations from L. Tremain, Inc. .
Collecting Information About You
In general, you can visit many of our web pages without telling us who
you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. We may
track the Internet domain address from which people visit us and analyze
this data for trends and statistics, but individual users will remain
anonymous, unless you voluntarily tell us who you are.
There may be times (such as when you purchase or order
a product, subscribe to a service, register to receive catalogs, or
to participate in contests, sweepstakes or promotions, etc.) at which
we ask you to provide certain information about yourself, such as your
name, shipping/billing address, telephone number, email address, credit
card information, birth date, gender, occupation, personal interests,
etc. We also maintain a record of your online product purchases. Whether
or not to provide such information is completely your own choice. But
if you choose not to provide the information we request, you may be
unable to purchase products, or access certain services, offers and
content on our web site.
Using Information About You
We use the personally identifiable information you provide for internal
purposes, such as confirming and tracking your order, subscription or
registration, analyzing trends and statistics, informing you of our
new products, services and offers, and providing you with information
from and about L. Tremain, Inc. . From time to time we might establish
a business relationship with other persons or entities whom we believe
trustworthy and whom we have asked to confirm that their privacy policies
are consistent with ours. These are known as our Select Partners. In
such cases we might share and cross-reference information, including
personally identifiable information about you, that will enable such
persons or entities to contact you regarding products and services that
may be of interest to you.
To serve you better, we may combine information you give
us online, in our stores or through our catalogs. We may also combine
that information with publicly available information and information
we receive from or cross-reference with our Select Partners and others.
We use that combined information to enhance and personalize your shopping
experience with us, to communicate with you about our products and events
that may be of interest to you, and for other promotional purposes.
We may contract with companies or persons to provide
certain services including credit card processing, shipping, data management,
promotional services, etc. We call them our Service Providers. We provide
our Service Providers with the information needed for them to perform
these services. We also ask our Service Providers to confirm that their
privacy practices are consistent with ours.
Although unlikely, in certain instances we may disclose
your personally identifiable information when we have reason to believe
that it is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against
persons or entities who may be causing injury to you, to L. Tremain, Inc. or to others. We may also disclose your personally identifiable
information when we believe the law requires it.
Editing, Updating, Correcting
and Deleting Information About You
We want to communicate with you only if you want to hear from us. If
you prefer not to receive information from us or from our Select Partners
please let us know by calling us at 1-800-666-6126, by sending us an
email, or by clicking communication preferences. Please be sure to include
your email address, full name, and specifically what information you
do not want to receive. If you would like to update or correct your
email address, street address or other personal information with us
please contact us the same way.
Please note that sometimes these requests may take up
to 6-8 weeks to be effective, particularly if we are removing your name
from postal mailings. In addition, when you purchase from us online
or through our catalogs, or when you choose to enter a sweepstakes or
other promotion, we may need to contact you via phone, email or mail
to address questions or issues specific to your order, entry, etc.,
even if you have opted to not receive communications.
Please remember, if you delete certain information you
may not be able to continue to purchase products or access other portions
of our web site without entering additional information.
Protecting Children
L. Tremain, Inc. take special care to protect the safety and
privacy of children. Our web sites are general audience sites. We do
not permit anyone under the age of 13 to register with us. We also do
not send email correspondence to anyone who tells us that they are under
the age of 13 without their parent's consent.
Children under the age of 13 should always ask their
parents or guardians for permission before providing any personal information
to anyone online. We urge parents and guardians to participate in their
children's online activities and use parental control or other web filtering
technology to supervise children's access to the web.
Cookies
Our web sites use "cookies." A cookie is a small amount of
data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your
computer's hard drive. Generally, we use cookies to remind us of who
you are, tailor our products and services to suit your personal interests,
estimate our audience size, assist our online merchants to track visits
to and sales at their stores and to process your order, track your status
in our promotions, contests and sweepstakes, and/or analyze your visiting
patterns. You can generally set your browser to not accept cookies or
to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the chance to decide
whether or not to accept it.
We may contract with third parties who may use cookies
and collect information on our behalf. These third parties are prohibited
by our contract with them from sharing that information with anyone
other than us or our Service Providers.
Security
We use sophisticated encryption and authentication tools to protect
the security of your personal information that you share with us. Unfortunately,
however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to
be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal
information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information
you transmit to or from our web sites, and you do so at your own risk.
Once we receive your transmission, we will do our best to protect its
security on our systems.
We urge you to keep your password in a safe place and
not to divulge it to anyone. Also remember to sign off your account
and close your browser window when you have finished your visit. This
is to ensure that others cannot access your account, especially if you
are sharing a computer with someone else or are using a computer in
a public place such as a library or Internet cafe.
Links to Third Party Sites
Our web sites may contain links to web sites operated and maintained
by third parties, over which we have no control. Privacy policies on
such linked sites may be different from our privacy policy. You access
such linked sites at your own risk. You should always read the privacy
policy of a linked site before disclosing any personal information on
such site.
Policy Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy in whole or in part, we will
inform you by posting a notice on our web site. Those changes will go
into effect on the date posted in the notice. The new policy will apply
to all current and past users of our web site and will replace any prior
policies that are inconsistent. This policy was posted in January 2005.

To help us improve our privacy policy and practice, please give us your
feedback. You may email us at our contact
