I. The Information We Collect

At LuvbugDesigns.com, we do not collect personally identifiable information unless our visitors voluntarily provide it to us. Personal information is required to make valid transactions and purchaes on LuvbugDesigns.com, and will be requested and used as such. If you do not wish your personal information to not be stored in a database for use in shipping and billing processes, please do not make use of this site for your e-commerce needs.

Visitors who order merchandise or other materials from the store at LuvbugDesigns.com will be required to provide their full name, billing and mailing addresses, e-mail address, telephone number and possibly a credit card number. If the order is being shipped to a third party, we will also need the recipient's name and mailing address. Before collecting information in connection with a store order, we will verify the validity of the purchaser's credit card. On occasion, we might solicit additional voluntary information regarding shoppers' personal shopping preferences.

We do not knowingly collect names and e-mail addresses from children under thirteen without notifying the parent via e-mail and giving the parent the option to remove their child's e-mail address from the applicable database for that activity. We do not knowingly collect the mailing address of a child under thirteen without obtaining verifiable consent from that child's parent. It is up to the child under thirteen to notify LuvbugDesigns.com of his or her age before submitting any information to the website.

When visitors come to our site, we automatically collect some non-personally identifiable information such as the type of computer operating system (e.g., Windows XP or Mac OS) and browser (e.g., Firefox, Internet Explorer) being used, and the domain name of the Internet service provider (e.g., Comcast, Verizon).

II. How We Use the Information

We use visitors' personal information for internal purposes only, such as subscribing to our online updates letter, or to order from the store at LuvbugDesigns.com. We use parents' e-mail addresses to notify them when we have received personal information such as e-mail addresses from their children and to give parents the option to remove their child's name from our lists.

We only use the e-mail addresses of subscribers to our LuvbugDesigns.com updates letter to send them the requested letter(s). Each letter also includes instructions for subscription removal via return e-mail.

We never sell, rent, or otherwise share our visitors' personal information with third parties. Sometimes, we may use agents or contractors to provide services to our visitors, such as helping us ship customer orders made in the store at LuvbugDesigns.com. In these cases, we require the agent or contractor to keep the information confidential and to use it only for the specific services they are performing. We sometimes use non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and content of our site, and to improve our visitors' experience on LuvbugDesigns.com. We also may aggregate this information to analyze site usage, as well as to offer products, programs, or services.

We will disclose information we maintain as required by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response to a specific law enforcement agency's request.
