We at His Expressions® understand that your trust is our most important asset. We are committed to the protection and proper use of your personal information. We are further committed to maintaining an understanding of the products and services you find to be most valuable.

Security Statement
Protecting customer information is a priority
for HisExpressions.com.
To guard your information, our website uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL encrypts your credit card number, name and address and all information inputed to our servers so only HisExpressions.com is able to decode your information.
Rest assured that your
connection is secure, look at the bottom status bar of your browser
window. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your
browser) the SSL is active and your information is secure. SSL technology
is the industry standard for secure online transactions.
|
Some versions of browsers and some firewalls (local network security) don't permit communication even though the server is secure. If, for some reason, you are unable to connect to our secure server, or you prefer to purchase via telephone, please call us at 1-904-463-2345.
The
facilities that house our servers are physically secured to protect
against the loss, misuse or alteration of all data and information
collected.

THE ABOVE POLICY APPLIES TO INFORMATION TRANSMITTED TO US USING THIS WEBSITE.

We collect personally identifiable

The Use of Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that websites often
store on your computer's hard drive when you visit their websites. A
cookie may contain information (such as a unique user ID) that is used to
track the pages of the websites you've visited. This information is stored
in a safe and secure database.
We use cookies in order to improve
your shopping experience. When you visit HisExpressions.com, your cookie
helps us keep track of your order as you shop at our website. If you have
saved your information with us, your cookie allows us to recognize you
when you return to our website and provides you with access to your
account information. If you saved your information with or order from us,
we also use cookies to monitor and maintain information about your use of
our website. If you have not saved your information with or ordered from
us, we may monitor and maintain information about your use of our website
in a manner that does not identify you. In either case, this information
helps us serve you better by improving our website design, as well as our
products, services and promotions.
We also may use cookies to track
and maintain the identity of the website you visited immediately prior to
ours to further improve our website design and to fulfill contracts with
our business partners. We do not otherwise track any information about
your use of other websites.
You can refuse cookies by turning them
off in your browser. If you turn off cookies, though, we will not be
able to track your order or enable you to make a purchase from our

Clear Gifs (Web Beacons)
We employ a software technology called clear
gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons), that help us better manage content on our site
by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny
graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are
used to track the online movements of Web users. The main difference
between the two is that clear gifs are invisible on the page and are much
smaller, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
In addition, we use clear gifs in
our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by the
recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain
communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If
users would like to opt-out of these emails, please see the Opt-out
section below.
We also collect
non-personally identifiable information about you (such
as where you visited on our website and what products you
purchased).
Tell-A-Friend
If a user
elects to use our His Expressions referral service for informing a friend about our
site, we ask them for the friend’s name and email address. His Expressions
will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them
to visit the site. HisExpressions.com stores this information
for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the
success of our referral program. The friend may contact
HisExpressions.com at privacy@HisExpressions.com to
request the removal of this information from our database.
Log Files
Like most
standard website servers we use log files. They include internet protocol
(IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks
to analyze trends, administer the website, track user’s movement in the
aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP
addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable
information.
2.
Information Sharing
Though we make every effort to
preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when
required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is
necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or
legal process served on our Web site.
Information We May Share With Our Affiliates.
We may share with our
affiliates all of the information that we collect to conduct our business,
to provide our customers with the best possible products and services, and
for other purposes. The affiliates with which we may share information
include:
|
|
1. Additional Retail websites.
2.
Service Affiliates - Affiliates that provide services to us or on
our behalf, such as marketing, customer service or data processing.
These companies are contractually restricted from using your
information in any manner other than in helping us to provide you
with the products and services available from
HisExpressions.com. |
3. Opting Out of Information Sharing
You can request that we not share certain information
about you ("opt out") as follows:
Our users are given the opportunity to
"opt-out"
of having their information used for purposes
not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for
information. For example, our order form has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism
so users who buy a product from us, but don’t want any marketing material,
can keep their email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our
newsletter and promotional communications may opt-out of receiving these
communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email
or email us at marketing@HisExpressions.com
We also offer an opt-out mechanism on our website to unsubscribe
automatically or the user may contact us at 1-904-463-2345 or mail us to
the address below:
His Expressions.com
4392 Poppy Tree Lane
Jacksonville, Florida 32255
Attn: Privacy/Opt Out Dept.
4. Confidentiality and Security
We restrict our employees' access to personally identifiable information about you to those individuals who need to know that information to conduct our business. In addition, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to protect the confidentiality and security of personally identifiable information.
5. Children’s Privacy
Consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA"), which took effect in April of 2001, HisExpressions.com will never knowingly request or collect personal information from any person under 13 years of age without prior verifiable parental consent.
If we become aware that an individual is under the age of 13 and has submitted any information to HisExpressions.com for any purpose without prior verifiable parental consent, then we will delete his or her information from our files.
6. Additional Information
This policy replaces all previous disclosures we may have provided you about our information practices. We reserve the right to change this policy, and to apply any changes to information previously collected, as permitted by law. If our information practices change in the future, we will notify you by posting the policy changes on our website.
Except as expressly noted, this policy relates only to personally identifiable information and does not affect our information practices with respect to other information.
The
examples contained in this Privacy Policy are illustrations only, and are
not intended to be
exhaustive.
