Security
All online transactions at Menemsha Blues are handled with
industry-standard SSL encryption.
When you enter your credit card number into the order form,
it is transmitted across the Internet in an encrypted (scrambled)
form, then decoded when it gets to us.
For added security, we also encrypt the credit card number
when it is stored on disk, and when we review your order.
If you are not the kind of person who worries about being
hit by lightning as you're crossing the street, you probably
don't have to worry that your credit card number will be
intercepted on the way to a secure Web site. According to
CNN, "The prevalent opinion...is that on-line credit card
use is actually no riskier for consumers than traditional
"low-tech" transactions." We order products online all the
time, both as a company and as individuals. When we use
a credit card to buy something online, we feel at least
as safe as we would using one in a store or restaurant.Shipping

expiration date).This information is used for billing purposes,
to fill customer’s orders, and on rare occasions to notify

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive
containing information about the user.Usage of a cookie is
in no way linked to any personally identifiable information
while on our site.Once the user closes their browser, the
cookie simply terminates.For instance, by setting a cookie
on our site, the user would not have to log in a password
more than once, thereby saving time while on our site.If a
user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site.The only
drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some
areas of our site.For example, the user will not be able to
participate in any of our Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly
Drawings that take place. Cookies can also enable us to track
and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience
on our site.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for
example, advertisers).However, we have no access to or control
over these cookies.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site,
track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information
for aggregate use.IP addresses are not linked to personally
identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our
partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal
information that can identify any individual person.
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit
card processing company to bill users for goods and services.
These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally
identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
We partner with another party to provide specific services.
When the user signs up for these services, we will share names,
or other contact information that is necessary for the third
party to provide these services.

information except for the purpose of providing these services.

This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware

practices of such other sites.We encourage our users to be

Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’
information.When users submit sensitive information via the
website, your information is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number and/or social security
number), that information is encrypted and is protected with
the best encryption software in the industry - SSL.While on
a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the
bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft
Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked,
or open, when you are just ‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information
online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information
off-line.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
(for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative)
are granted access to personally identifiable information.Finally,
the servers that we store personally identifiable information
on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.
If you have any questions about the security at our website,
you can send an Email to menemshabluesmail@yahoo.com.

We send all new customers a welcoming email. Established customers
will occasionally receive information on special promotions.
Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the
option to not receive these types of communications. Please
see our choice and opt-out below.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on our site so our users are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances,
if any, we disclose it.If at any point we decide to use personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated
at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way
of an email.Users will have a choice as to whether or not
we use their information in this different manner. We will
use information in accordance with the privacy policy under
which the information was collected.
