When you request a page from our web site, our servers log the information provided in the HTTP request header including the IP number, the time of the request, the URL of your request and other information that is provided in the HTTP header.

When we need to collect personally identifiable information from you to provide you with a particular service we will ask you to voluntarily supply us with the information we need. For example, when you make a purchase of an item for sale on the website, we will ask you for information such as name, shipping address, e-mail address, credit card number, and billing address to process your order. We will use your e-mail address to send a confirmation and, if necessary, might use the other information to contact you for help in processing the order. We will also use your e-mail address to notify you about special offers and promotions as described in the “Email” section of this Statement, but you can opt out of e-mails at any time.

The personally identifiable information you provide to us for processing your purchase order is stored for the purpose of meeting the requirements of your order. If you cancel your order, the information is stored for recordkeeping purposes only and is not accessed again. After making a purchase, unless you tell us otherwise, the information you provide will be used by us for promotional communications and direct marketing of other products of select, reputable third parties with whom Niftythreads has a strategic marketing relationship because they offer products or services that we believe would of interest to you.

Creating a Personal Account

At your choice, you may create a personal account containing information such as your preferred Niftythreads ID, clothing interests, and other site-relevant information. Creating a personal account makes it more convenient for you to make purchases and access Niftythreads content by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter personal preference information. It will allow us to inform you about news, special offers, and promotions that may be of interest to you. The security of this information is addressed in security section below.

You can access and review, update or deactivate your personal account information on-line. If you deactivate your personal account the information you submitted to create the account will be deleted.

Securing the Transmission and Storage of Information

We treat the information you provide to us as confidential information; it is, accordingly, subject to our company's security procedures and corporate policies regarding protection and use of confidential information. When we ask you for credit card data it is transferred over a Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) line provided you are using a SSL enabled browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. We also use SSL on other select pages where you would enter personally identifiable information. This ensures that your information is encrypted as it travels over the Internet. This secure mode is enabled before any such information is transmitted from your computer. You will know you are in secure mode when the padlock or key icon in the lower right-hand or left-hand corner of the computer screen appears in the locked position. In addition, when accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https."

After information reaches Niftythreads it is stored on a secure server that resides behind firewalls designed to block unauthorized access from outside of Niftythreads. Information collected on the site covered by this Statement is processed and stored in the United States.

Pixel Tags

Niftythreads and its third party service providers use pixel tags (also known as "clear gifs", "beacon gifs", etc.). Pixel tags are not visible to the user of the web site and consist of a few lines of computer coding. Pixel tags are not used to collect any personally identifiable information about you apart from what you voluntarily provide us in your dealings with Niftythreads. Niftythreads and our e-mail service provider use pixel tags to:

track responses to Niftythreads advertisements and site content;

determine your ability to receive HTML-based e-mail messages. Our e-mail service provider includes a pixel tag, which they refer to as a "coded sensor", in all of the HTML-based messages sent on our behalf. The sensor activates when the e-mail message is opened and flags the e-mail address of the user as one that is capable of receiving HTML-based email messages. This capability helps our service provider to send the e-mail in a format you can read. The sensor does not collect or use any other information. If you cannot receive HTML, you will not receive a functioning sensor.

know how many users open an e-mail and allow our service provider to compile aggregated statistics about an e-mail campaign for us; and

allow us to better target interactive advertising, enhance customer support and site usability, and provide offers and promotions that we believe would be of interest to you

E-Mails about Special Offers and Promotions and Opt-Out

When you create a personal account or make a purchase and provide your e-mail address, we will periodically contact you via e-mail and provide information about special offers and promotions that may be of interest to you. These communications will relate to Niftythreads offers and/or the promotions of select, reputable third parties with whom Niftythreads has a strategic marketing relationship because they offer products or services that we believe would be of interest to you. If you do not wish to receive e-mails with updates and information please unsubscribe here.
