Menemsha Blues
is the sole owner of the information collected on this site.We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.We collect information from our users at several different points on our website.

Ordering
We request information from the user on our order form.Here a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date).This information is used for billing purposes, to fill customer’s orders, and on rare occasions to notify customers of special online promotions.If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user. If you do not wish to receive email notification of special online promotions, let us know and we will take you off our list and take steps to see that you are not accidentally added in the future.

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.

These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.

Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we at Menemsha Blues are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.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.

Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address.

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.

Special Offers
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.
