Your
Security
Our Web
site encrypts your credit card number prior to transmission
over the Internet using secure socket layer (SSL) encryption
technology. This technology works best when the site is viewed
using Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator,
with strong encryption. However, no transmission of data over
the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed
to be 100% secure. Although we make reasonable efforts to
safeguard your personal information once we receive it, we
cannot warrant the security of information you transmit to
us. Only those pages displaying the 'lock enabled' logo in
the browser are secure. But we don't stop there! Where most
e-commerce enabled web stores stop due to a lack of technical
understanding and expertise, we at MADEINTHEORIENT.COM take
another step to ensure true end to end security via digital
ID certificates. We ensure our order taking computers
have digital order taking ID ceritificates with public and
private keys that authenticate that each order we receive
is from who they say they are, and vice versa, everytime!
In fact, this last crucial step is critical to the overall
integrity of the security of your online order. In addition,
we ensure that our gateway onto the internet is firewall
protected, via a router and software, 24-7. We take your security
and privacy very seriously.

How
we use "cookies"
A "cookie"
is a small file stored on your computer by a Web site which
gives you a numeric user ID and stores certain information
about your activity on the site. We use cookies to let us
know that you are a prior customer and to provide certain
features to you, for example to store information on your
product selections as you shop on our site, but we do not
store any personal information (except your name) or financial
information about you using cookies. Most web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but most allow you to instruct your browser
to prevent the use of cookies. However, if you disable this
feature, certain aspects of MADEINTHEORIENT.COM, such as the
shopping basket, will not function properly.
How
we use the information we collect about you.
We use
information we collect from you to process your orders, to
provide an enhanced and more personalized shopping experience
and to inform you of offers and discounts from MADEINTHEORIENT.COM
or other sites and companies that we own. In addition, we
periodically make such information, including aggregated information,
available to selected third parties including but not limited
to, those who trade or rent information for direct marketing
purposes. However, we do not make your email addresses available
to third parties (except for subsidiaries, subcontractors
or agencies acting on our behalf in compliance with this Privacy
Policy), although we may do so in the future. If we do, we
will first amend this policy. If you would like us to email
you a notice when our Privacy Policy or Terms of Use change,
