The following is our policy for collecting, using, and securing personal customer information that you, as our customer, provide to us. This information will only be used as set forth in this policy. By visiting CreativeXpress.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy and Security Notice.

Online Store Account Information

If you are a registered customer and you want to change, modify or delete any of your personal information in the online store, you can do so anytime by clicking the ACCOUNT button in the navigation bar of the store. Log in with your account ID and password, then edit or delete whatever personal information you wish. Your personal information is protected by the password you created when you registered your account or by the password chosen by you if you changed your password at a later time. Please keep this password confidential. No associate of Creative Xpress will ever ask you for your password. The confidentiality of your password is yours to protect. You may change your password at anytime by going to ACCOUNT, log in with your account ID and password, then enter a new password. We collect personal information that you provide when using the CreativeXpress.com Web site. If you register an online store account with us, you create the ACCOUNT ID and PASSWORD to save your billing and shipping information. You also provide an email address that our system may use to email your password back to you in the event the password has been forgotten. You are not required to create an account in order to shop with us, however, it does save you time during the checkout process if you do so.

However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of CreativeXpress.com features, (such as storage of items in your shopping cart between visits).

We also collect certain technical information from your computer each time you request a page during a visit to CreativeXpress.com. This information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, your computer's operating system, browser type and the address of a referring Web site, if any. We collect this information to gauge the performance of our Web site, trouble shoot any problems and enhance the quality of your experience during your visit. This information is not sold or rented to any third parties.

Data Collected at the Online Store


We collect personal information (such as name, address, telephone number, email address and credit card number) that you provide when setting up a store account, and ordering from us using the CreativeXpress.com Web site. You are not required to create an account in order to shop with us, however, it does save you time during the checkout process if you do so.

The information that you give us, and information about your order may be combined with other personally identifiable information (such as demographic information and past purchase history) available from our records and other sources. This information will be used to make our future marketing efforts more efficient. This information may also be shared with other marketers to bring you offers of interest. If you prefer that we do not share your name and address with other marketers, please email us.

Creative Xpress will not sell, rent or share your email address, telephone number or credit card information with other marketers. This information is used solely by Creative Xpress to process your order.



Contest

You may enter our monthly scrapbook layout contest by following the guidelines outlined on the scrapbook layout contest information page. Winners of the contest will have an image of their layout and their names, city and states posted on the Creative Xpress Web site. We can publish even less information about the winner if we are requested to do so. As outlined in the entry instructions, winners will have to provide their name, address, and telephone information in order to collect their prize.

Security Information

The security of your personal information is very important to us. To protect your online transactions, we use a technology called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). If your browser is not capable of SSL, you will not be able to complete your purchase with CreativeXpress.com because we do not allow any unsecured transactions to take place on our Web site. Beware of those Web sites who do allow such transactions. Not only is this a breach of security for your personal and credit card information, it is strictly forbidden by credit card Merchant agreements.

All transactions through our online store are encrypted using an SSL Secure Server certificate issued by Thawte, a global provider of digital certificate products, services and solutions. Thawte is the second largest Internet Certificate Authority worldwide, with 36% of the Internet's SSL Web server market. When you enter a secured portion of our site, (which is any page containing any of your personal information), an image of a closed lock or a solid key should appear in the bottom bar of your browser window. If you click on this image, a small popup window displaying site-security information will appear. This certificate guarantees your personal information is being transmitted in secure (encrypted) form to CreativeXpress.com. Most browsers are capable of SSL transactions, however, some older versions of these browsers may require an upgrade to get the most current SSL certificate information. If you are running an older generation browser, you may have to upgrade your security to the same level as that supported by the latest generation browsers. The process takes about 2 minutes and ensures that your browser works with the tens of thousands of Thawte certified secure servers on the web.

If you choose to visit CreativeXpress.com, your visit and any dispute over privacy are subject to this Notice, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the state of Utah. If you have any concern about privacy at CreativeXpress.com, please contact us with a thorough description, and we will try to resolve it. Our business changes constantly. This Notice will change also, and use of information that we gather now is subject to the Privacy Notice in effect at the time of use. We may email periodic reminders of our notices, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our Web site regularly to see recent changes.
