Privacy Statement
Like you, we at Handmade Originals are concerned about your privacy. When you choose to provide us with information about yourself, we recognize that you trust us to act in a responsible manner. We understand that you have confidential information that you want to protect and maintain as confidential. We want you to know that Handmade Originals is committed to safeguarding your privacy online and we strive to make our web site as safe and secure as reasonably possible.
Your right to privacy is very important to us. If you have any questions after reading this policy, please let us know.

The Information We Obtain and How We Use It
The information we obtain from you is generally necessary for us to provide you with answers to your questions, and that we may contact you if the company discovers additional information that we feel, in good faith, will provide you with beneficial information (normally this will always be in regards to your order or shipping). All information collected from you is considered by Handmade Originals as your property. Handmade Originals will use this information for the purposes that it is provided for and will not be shared with other parties without your approval. We treat information we collect online similarly to that we collect off-line. We do not sell or disclose client information to other entities ever. Submitting you information is strictly voluntary, and is not required to use our search feature.

Disclosure of Information
As a general rule, Handmade Originals does not release customer account information to unaffiliated third parties without your permission.
 

Information Obtained by Third Party Sites
Other companies or organizations make certain products and services offered through the Handmade Originals web site available. To obtain some of these products and services you may be on the other company’s web site. When ordering, registering for, or purchasing products or services from our or these other companies, you will be entering into an agreement with that company, not with Handmade Originals. In these cases, this privacy policy does not apply; instead, the privacy policy of the company actually providing the goods or services will apply. We urge you to read and understand those policies before entering into agreements with such companies. If you register directly with another company or web site reached through the Handmade Originals web site, that company or web site will have control over the information you provide. We are committed to working with companies that share our privacy concerns. Handmade Originals, however, can’t control or take responsibility for the way these companies collect or use information.
Also, when you access the web site of another company, an advertiser, or web site linked from the Handmade Originals website, those companies or sites may use cookies or other means to collect information about you. Again, the Handmade Originals privacy policy does not apply to these instances; instead, the privacy policy of the site you visit will apply.
If you have questions about the privacy policies of these other companies or the privacy policies of other sites, we encourage you to contact them directly.

Privacy and Security Over the Internet in General
Please keep in mind that no data transmitted through or stored over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. While Handmade Originals has databases and systems that are maintained to reasonably secure all of Handmade Originals commercial information including client data, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that is stored or is transmitted through the Handmade Originals website.
Whenever you voluntarily disclose personal or company information online – for example, on email – that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal or company information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties.
