No personally identifiable information is obtained or stored. This is simply done as part of our ongoing effort to better serve our customers. More information on cookies can be found at http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Internet/2002/Cookies.asp.

Log Files
We use standard web server log files which record visitor information such as internet protocol (IP) addresses, referrer, pages visited. This information is used to administer the site and analyze trends. There is no personally identifiable information involved.

Invisible Pictures
We use “invisible pictures” as part of our statistics program to better determine what visitors like or don’t like about our site. No personally identifiable information is recorded as a part of this process.

We may collect customer email addresses and use them in sending promotional emails. However, we will never knowingly or willingly sell or give your email address to other companies or individuals.

Links
Please be aware that we, Valley Fisheries, Inc., are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites which may be linked to ours. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.

Security
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our visitors’ information. When visitors submit sensitive information via the Web site, their information is protected both online and off-line.
When you are asked to enter sensitive information (such as credit card numbers), that information is encrypted while being transmitted, using the industry standard “SSL” method. You can tell that you are on a secure page by the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Internet Explorer. To learn more, click: http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Internet/2005/ssl.asp.

We also do everything we can to protect your information off-line. It is both encrypted and password protected on our server. We do not store credit card information there longer than necessary to process your order. Any server that stores personally identifiable information is in a fully secured facility.

All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (such as a bookkeeper) are granted access to personally identifiable information.

If you have any questions about our security, please email us at [email protected].

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
