Your privacy is very important to us. Below is a full disclosure of the information we collect and how it is used.

Cookies

When you visit our site, we will request your browser to place a permanent cookie (a very small text file) on your computer. If you have your browser configured to accept cookies, it will accept the cookie and place it on your computer's hard drive. We collect this information to enhance our site and improve our customer's shopping experience. We will not sell or provide this information to any third party for any purpose. You can visit our site without cookies if you choose to do so. To visit our site without cookies, you can configure your browser to reject all cookies or to notify you when a cookie is set. Check the help menu of you browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

Placing an order

When you decide to place an order, you are asked to complete an order form. The order form requires your name, billing and shipping address, credit card number and expiration date. You should also include other information fields such as your telephone number, to allow us to contact you regarding your order if necessary. This information is used to make your shopping experience with us as smooth and pleasant as possible. We do not share this information with any party, other than Blue Nook.

Security

The security of your personal information is very important to us. In an effort to protect your personal information, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology with 128 bit encryption. If your browser supports SSL (most current browsers do), it will automatically encrypt the information you provide to us on the secure pages on our site, before sending it over the Internet. Blue Nook has also obtained a digital certificate from Verisign, Inc., a leading provider of Internet trust services. When visiting a page on our site that includes any of your personal information, you will see on the bottom of your browser window, an icon of a closed lock or an unbroken key (depending upon your browser), this indicates that you have successfully connected with our secure server. To authenticate the security of your connection before submitting any of your personal information, you can double click on the icon to display our digital certificate. Some browser versions and some firewalls do not permit communication through secure servers. In that case, we suggest that you contact us by phone 877-268-1235.
