Privacy Policy

Important Information

This privacy policy was updated on August 10, 2009.
Originally published November 29, 2006.

This web site belongs to Sue Diederich.

The location is: Palatine, IL 60074.

I can be reached via e-mail at privacy@all-about-christmas.com, or - click on the "Contact Me" button from any page of the website, or - you can reach me by telephone at (847) 873 - 0251.

I only collect the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with me via the "Contact Me" page, and aggregate information on what pages consumers access or visit. The page information is not associated in any way with the person who visits.

The information I collect is used to communicate directly with visitors and improve the content of the Web site.

With respect to cookies:

I do not set any cookies at this time. However, links to outside sites may. Third-parties may set cookies or use web beacons if you visit our use services on their site.

If you supply me with your postal address on-line you will only receive the information for which you provided your address.

With respect to other companies whose links appear on these pages:

To try and bring you offers that are of interest to you, I have relationships with other companies to which I have placed banners or links, or that I allow to place ads on my web pages.

As a result of your visit to my site, if you click on any of the links, banners or ads, these companies may collect information such as your domain type, your IP address and clickstream information.

From time to time, I may wish to use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in this privacy notice. (For example, to facilitate a forum or membership area.)

If my information practices change at some time in the future I will contact you for your permission before I use your data for these new purposes - to notify you of the policy change and to provide you with the ability to opt out of these new uses.

I will also post the policy changes to the web site to notify you of these changes and provide you with the ability to opt out of these new uses. Changes will appear in the body of this page, and also on the "What's New" page. If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should check back at this web page periodically.

Customers may prevent their information from being used for purposes other than those for which it was originally collected by e-mailing me at the above address.

Upon request I provide site visitors with access to all information [including proprietary information] that I maintain about them. As of 19 August 2009, this information is limited to e-mail addresses white listed at this site via the "Contact Me" form.

Visitors can access this information by e-mailing me at the above address.

Visitors can also have this information corrected by sending me an e-mail at the above address.

Why The Privacy Policy is Here

Most sites hide their links somewhere on the bottom of their pages so as not to distract from the content. I have chosen to put mine here, rather than place a link to it on each page of my site for several reasons.

First of all - it's very easy to see that I do, indeed, have a privacy policy, and that I take it very seriously. That's why the button.

Secondly, if I start a forum, chat room, blog or newsletter, it is easily accessible to both my visitors and myself. I do not believe in hiding policies from my visitors - you should be able to know at a glance what information is collected, and how it is used. After all - it is YOUR information!

Third, because I use a form for people to contact me on the web, I do collect email addresses, and so wanted you to feel safe when you e-mail me!

Finally, since I also have links to outside sources on the site, many of whom do collect more information than simply e-mail addresses, I want you to be able to let me know if one of these outside sources misuses your information or has a policy I need to be aware of.

I want everyone that comes here to feel perfectly safe and at ease. If one of the sites I refer people to abuses that trust, I certainly want to know about it! I can then take steps to either rectify the situation, or remove links to those sites from All About Christmas.

Please rest assured that I will never sell, trade, or intentionally distribute any user information from this site.
