Here at HomeFurnish.com, we understand and share in your concern for personal privacy. We want to assure you that we treat your privacy with great respect, and have created this policy to explain our online information gathering and sharing practices. Any personal information that you share with us, stays with us. Your information will never be shared with a third party that is not an affiliate of HomeFurnish.com without your expressed permission.
The only instances in which HomeFurnish.com will ever share your personal information are as follows: (I) if we obtain permission from you first; (II) if we transfer our business assets or change our corporate structure; (III) if we need to share it with contractors or agents who perform services for us; or (IV) if we are required by law to disclose the information.
Below, you'll find the details of our privacy policy. Our policy may change over time as our website grows, so we ask that you please review it periodically so that you'll always have the current information. Should you have any questions or comments regarding our privacy policy, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Collected information and how we use it
HomeFurnish.com automatically collects some non-personally identifiable information for our own uses, which cannot identify you personally to us or any of our affiliates. This type of information may include your IP address, the type of operating system or browser that you use, or the domain name from which you linked to our site. We collect this information for a variety of reasons, including diagnosing problems with our server or administering our website. Also, collecting this information gives us the best insight into which parts of our website users view the most.
In the future, HomeFurnish.com may collect personal information with your permission, such as your e-mail address or demographic information, or through surveys or the 'e-mail a friend' feature. This feature simply allows you to share product information with your friends, and any e-mail information that we obtain through this feature is used solely for the purpose of e-mail communication. We don't save the e-mails or addresses in our database, and they're not used for any other purpose than they're originally intended for.
Also, if at any point you make a purchase through HomeFurnish.com, we'll only ask you for the minimum amount of information necessary to verify that you're the one making the purchase. We'll ask you for your name, address, credit card number and expiration date, only to make sure that the person using the credit card is the person who owns it. Again, we will never sell or share your information with any third party not affiliated with HomeFurnish.com without first obtaining your permission.
