COLLECTING

Personally identifiable information needed

When you make a purchase, we ask for your
name, address, phone number, e-mail address and other information
necessary to fulfill and track your order. For purposes of billing,
you will need to provide your credit card type, number, expiration
date and billing address for the card. If your order is to be shipped,
we also need the name, address and phone number of the intended

Anonymous, non-personally identifiable
information
When you visit ModernEssentials.com, small text
files commonly known as "cookies" are used to collect information.
Cookies allow us to compile statistics about how you use our site. We
may use this data to analyze trends and improve the usability of our
sites as well as to administer the sites and gather broad demographic
statistics. 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 also collect other
non-personally identifiable information such as your IP address,
domain server, type of computer, type of web browser, and addresses of
referring sites. This information is used to administer our site.
SECURITY
We
protect our databases with various physical, technical and procedural
measures and we restrict access to your information by unauthorized
persons. Our information systems are maintained behind a software
firewall to isolate them from access by other networks connected to
the Internet. We also advise all Modern Essentials employees about
their responsibility to protect customer data and we provide them with
appropriate guidelines for adhering to our company's business ethics
standards and confidentiality policies.
All information
transmitted through ModernEssentials.com is stored on our secure
server. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, which is the
electronic commerce standard for securing information as it travels
over the Internet. SSL technology is designed to encrypt your
information, preventing an unauthorized party from viewing and
downloading your information. Your web browser should display a web
address with an "https" prefix, and a solid key or locked padlock will
appear in the lower right of you browser window, indicating that the
SSL technology is operating when using certain portions of our website
like our Checkout features.
