COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
If you browse any East Rain website, you may generally do so anonymously without providing any personal information. However, there are cases in which we may ask you for personal data. For example, we will occasionally conduct on-line surveys to better understand the needs and profile of our visitors. In addition, we may request personal information when you register to receive additional information regarding our products and services, download software, sign up for a newsletter or send us a question. In such cases, the personal information we request will typically consist of your title, first and last name, mailing address, email address, and phone number as well as certain billing and credit card information for purposes of effecting payments. Additionally, we may provide you with the option of submitting information such as your birthday, anniversary date, information regarding the size and composition of your household and your preferred retailers, all of which are intended to enhance your experience, and inform you, of our product and service offerings Even if you choose not to give information we request, you can still visit most of the East Rain website, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers and services.
ORDERS
As above, when you place an order for a product or service, we need to know your name, e-mail address, billing and shipping addresses, phone number, credit card number and expiration date. This personal information is required so that we can process and fulfill your order, send an order or shipping confirmation, as well as notify you of your order status. All Internet transactions with East Rain are performed on a secure server that encrypts your credit card information to ensure it is not read by unauthorized third parties.
