Our
Privacy Policy
Information
Collection and Use
Fotoknit is a trading style of Lucies Farm Ltd, which is incorporated under
the laws of England as company number 3521405 (hereinafter "Fotoknit") is
the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell,
share, or rent this information to others. Fotoknit collects information
from our users at several different points on our website.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must
provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial
information (like credit card number and expiration date). This information
is used for billing purposes and to fill customer’s orders. If we have
trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in
touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing
information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any
personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes
their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a
cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than
once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie,
they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will
be limited in some areas of our site.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s
movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP
addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and
advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can
identify any individual person.
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card
processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do
not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any
secondary purposes.
We partner with another party to provide specific services. When the user
signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact
information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services.
These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information
except for the purpose of providing these services.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not
responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our
users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected
by this Web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact
information such as name and email address.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary
and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Information requested may include contact information (such as
name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code,
age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award
prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or
improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When
users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is
protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information
(such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information
is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the
industry - SSL. To find out if your transaction is guarded by SSL, look for
the picture of the unbroken key or closed lock in your browser window (both
the Netscape Navigator/Communicator and Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers
use SSL). Either indicator means SSL is hard at work. (If you don't see
either one, or if you see a broken key or an open lock, that means SSL is
definitely not hard at work protecting your transaction.)
The easy way, you can tell if SSL is guarding your transaction is to check
the URL of the site you are visiting. It should change from "http" to
"https" when processing secure transactions.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also
do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our
users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is
restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to
perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service
representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave
their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain
access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date
on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time
new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the
importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our
customers’ information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store
personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment,
behind a locked cage.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an
email to
craig@fotoknit.com. Craig Walsh, a Director of Lucies Farm Ltd.,
will respond to your email promptly.
Supplementation of Information
In order for this website to properly fulfill its obligation to our
customers, it is necessary for us to supplement the information we receive
with information from third party sources.
Special Offers
Established members will occasionally receive information on products,
services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of
our users we present the option to not receive these types of
communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Site and Service Updates
Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip
code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to
correct, update or remove that user’s personal data. Please either e-mail us
at craig@fotoknit.com, or telephone
us at +44-1905-830-380.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our
Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point
we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different
from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way
of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their
information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance
with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
