Forms That Collect Personal Information

Our web sites contain forms which require our visitors to provide us with personal contact information. We use the personal contact information from these forms to process your orders and send you information that you request. We do not rent, sell, or otherwise distribute your personal information to any third party for the purposes of marketing or solicitation.

Our user registration form requires contact information and other data needed to establish an account, store your preference settings, and to immediately notify you in case of a security breach (which is required by several state laws).

Our sites use an order form for our visitors to request information, products, and services. The order forms collect your contact information (such as your name, address, phone number, and email address) and financial information (such as billing address and credit card information). Your contact information from our order form is used to process your order, keep you informed on the status of your request, and to provide requested information about our company to our customers. The financial information collected is used to bill you for the products and services you requested, and will not be distributed to any third party other than for delivery and payment verification purposes.

Our feedback form and surveys may ask our visitors for contact information. We use the contact data from our surveys to send the visitor information about our company and to fulfill other required correspondence.

Our sites may hold sweepstakes, games, and other contests in which we ask visitors for contact information. We use your personal contact data to send information about our company and to fulfill other required correspondence.

IP Address Information and Traffic Statistics

We may collect and store your host name, domain, web browser software version, type of operating system, date/time of your visit, the URL which referred you to us, your computer IP address, and other similar information regarding your connection. This is collected in order to assist us in planning our web server resources and to diagnose computer communication problems. We also gather and analyze broad demographic data and site usage patterns to assist our software developers in making our web sites more efficient and user-friendly for our visitors.

Handling of E-mail and No Spam Rules

We will never ask you to provide us any sensitive information via email, and we are very careful to never transmit any of your account information to you via email. DO NOT transmit credit card numbers or other critical personal information via email since electronic mail is typically not encrypted, and therefore, it may be easily intercepted during its transit across the world wide web. A reputable business will never request sensitive information through an email.

We never send unsolicited commercial email or spam. If we contact you through an email, it will only be to service your requests.

If you choose to subscribe to any of our virtual community listings, you may unsubscribe at any time by editing your account preferences or following the instructions at the bottom of the email.

Use of Web Browser Cookies

A cookie is a small text file which a web site stores on your computer. Cookies are not required to shop or visit our web sites, but we recommend using them for web sites that you trust and visit frequently. Usage of cookies on our sites allow you to customize the appearance and content of our web sites, but are not required.

Our web sites do not store any critical personal data in the form of cookies in your web browser or onto your computer hard drive. By storing specific bits of information on your computer, we are able to deliver content based on your specified interests.

We do not allow third parties to save cookies to your computer from our web site! Cookies are safe when they are used properly. Some very popular web sites allow third parties to save a cookie on your computer. This allows the third party to track your usage patterns across any web site that participates in their program. They are profiting from the sale of your personal information and we believe this is an unethical business practice.

TIP: Your web browser has several security settings that allow you to control the storage and usage of cookies. Configure your web browser security settings so that "Cookies are accepted from the originating web site only".

Chat Rooms and Other Public Forums

Some web sites hold moderated discussion forums, chat rooms, and other forms of immediate public communication available to our visitors. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should always exercise great caution when deciding to disclose any personal information.  We closely monitor the content in all of our public forums, and we reserve to right to edit any submissions deemed inappropriate by our management. We maintain records of all forum activities, and any criminal activity will be immediately reported to the appropriate authorities. Use of our web site is governed by the laws of the State of Alabama, USA (Read our "Terms of Use" policy for details).

Report public forum abuse to (256) 753-0707 or contact us.

Telephone Caller ID

Telephone calls into our call center may be blocked unless valid Caller ID is transmitted. This information is used to retrieve and verify the data contained in your customer account record. We do not use telemarketing and this data is not released to any third party (unless it is necessary to process your requests - such as to arrange deliveries).

If you are unable to send Caller ID information with your phone call, you may use other means of communication to contact us.

Links to External Web Sites

Our sites may contain external hyperlinks to other web sites not affiliated with our company. Clever Things, LLC is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any web site external to our servers. The external links we provide as a convenience to our customers. Links to and from our site do not constitute an affiliation or endorsement by Clever Things, LLC.

Links to external web sites are marked with this symbol:

Protecting Our Children

Our company may operate web sites which are intended for use by children under the age of 13. These sites comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. We will provide a direct notice to parents and request verifiable parental consent prior to collecting any personally identifiable information from children.

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act applies to individually identifiable information about children that is collected, such as the child's full name, home address, email address, telephone number or any other information that would allow someone to identify or contact the child. The Act also covers information such as hobbies, interests and information collected through cookies or other types of tracking mechanisms -- if they are used in conjunction with individually identifiable information.

We strongly encourage parents to educate themselves concerning privacy, and to actively participate in all of your child's online activities.
