What
information do we collect and how do we use it?
-
When you make an order, we need to know your name, email address,
mailing address, credit card number, and credit card expiration
date. This allows us to process your order and send you your
confirmation information.
- When you sign up for services like
Newsletters, we need only an email address -- which we use
to send the information you requested.
- When you enter a contest
or other promotional feature, we may ask for your name, address,
and email address so we can administer the contest and notify
winners. ReadySetHome.com may also host promotions and sweepstakes
that may be sponsored and administered by outside parties.
When you are entered in any sweepstakes or contest simply
by making a purchase from us, only your order number is given
to the entity administering the sweepstakes or contest. When
the winning entries are chosen, only the names and addresses
of the winners are shared with the entity administering the
sweepstakes or contest, so that they can notify the winners.
When you enter a sweepstakes or contest through an email entry,
your email entry is sent to the supplier house that we use
to help gather entries for our sweepstakes and contests. When
the winners have been selected, the winners' email addresses
may be shared with the entity administering the sweepstakes,
so that they can be notified that they have won. When you
enter a sweepstakes or contest through a mail-in entry, the
information you provide on your entry is sent directly to
the entity administering the sweepstakes or contest. Unless
we explicitly notify you in the terms of the sweepstakes or
contest, no other information is shared by ReadySetHome.com
with third parties in connection with any sweepstakes or contest.
To the extent that any privacy information relating to a sweepstakes
or contest conflicts with the information provided here, the
specific privacy information regarding the sweepstakes or
contest will be clearly stated in an area that will be accessible
to potential entrants and will govern that particular sweepstakes
or contest.
- We may personalize your experience by using your
past orders and site behavior to shape our recommendations
about other information that might be of interest to you.
We also monitor customer traffic patterns and site usage to
help us develop the design and layout of the site.
- We may
also use the information we collect to occasionally notify
you about important functionality changes to the web site,
new ReadySetHome.com services, and special offers we think
you'll find valuable. If you would rather not receive this
information, when you receive this email just reply back and
write in the subject UNSUBSCRIBE. We will then remove you
from our mailing list
How
does ReadySetHome.com protect customer information?
ReadySetHome.com uses the latest encryption technology to
keep your personal information safe. All your ordering information
-- including your name, address, and credit card number --
is encrypted using a secure server for maximum security. Your
credit card and billing information cannot be read as it travels
to our ordering system. To ensure that your information is
even more secure, once we receive your credit card information,
we store it on a server that isn't accessible from the Internet.
We're so certain that our online reservation systems are secure
that we back it up with a guarantee. In the unlikely event
that you are subject to fraudulent charges, remember to first
notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting
rules and procedures. If, for whatever reason, you are held
responsible for any fraudulent charges made on our site, ReadySetHome.com
will cover the entire liability for you, up to $50, as long
as the unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through
no fault of your own from an order made with ReadySetHome.com
while using our secure server. Credit card transactions are
handled by a third-party financial institution, which receives
the credit card number and other personal identifying information
only to verify the credit card numbers and process transactions.
How
do we make ordering furniture safe?
We use the latest encryption technology to keep your personal
information safe. All your ordering information -- including your
name, address, and credit card number -- is encrypted using a
secure server for maximum security. Your credit card and billing
information cannot be read as it travels to our ordering system.

Will
ReadySetHome.com disclose the information it collects to outside
parties?
From time to time, ReadySetHome.com may share customer information.
We may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, reservations,
traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party
vendors, but these statistics will include no personally identifying
information. ReadySetHome.com may release account information
when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably
necessary to (i) comply with law, (ii) enforce or apply the terms
of any of our user agreements, or (iii) protect the rights, property,
or safety of ReadySetHome.com, our users, or others.
How
does ReadySetHome.com protect the privacy of children younger
than 13?
ReadySetHome.com is concerned about the privacy of young children
and does not knowingly collect any personal information from a
child under 13. We suggest that you become involved with your
child's access to the Internet and to our site to ensure that
his or her privacy is well protected.
What
is your policy if I link to a third-party web site?
When you click on links and/or ad banners that take you to third-party
web sites, you will be subject to the third parties' privacy policies.
While we support the protection of privacy on the Internet, ReadySetHome.com
cannot be responsible for the actions of third parties. We encourage
you to read the posted privacy statement whenever interacting
with any web site.
Your
consent.

of this information by ReadySetHome.com. If we decide to change
our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page
so that you are always aware of what information we collect,
how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
