Privacy Statement
Maple and Bass is committed to safeguarding your privacy online. Please read the following policy to understand how your personal information will be treated as you make full use of our web site. Maple and Bass has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy and security. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for our web site.
Information You Provide
Maple and Bass does not collect personally identifiable information about our visitors except when such visitors specifically provide such information on a voluntary basis. For example, such information may be gathered from a contact form or application.
When you place an order, we require your name, billing address, phone number, email address, shipping address and credit card information. We use this information solely to process your order and, if any questions should arise, to contact you about your order. We share this information, and only that information which is absolutely necessary, with those third parties that are involved in the processing of your order. For example, the financial institution that issued your credit card and the shipping carrier that delivers your order.
Aside from the previously mentioned third parties involved in the processing of your order, we do not share your personally identifiable information with any other entities unless required by law. This information will not be sold, traded, given or otherwise transferred to third parties without the approval of the user at the time of collection. At the present time Maple and Bass does not send in any form, promotional and/or marketing information about other products, services and offerings from Maple and Bass unless you specifically request it.
Maple and Bass reserves the right to contact a user/customer regarding account status, changes to the user/customer agreement and other matters relevant to the underlying service and/or the information collected.
Website visitors also should be aware that non-personal information and data may be automatically collected through the standard operation of Maple and Bass's internet servers or through the use of cookies.
Cookies
A cookie is a small file (approximately 1 KB) that is generated by our web site and stored locally on your computer. Cookies are not programs that come onto a user's system and damage files. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site.
If a user does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, users should note, in our online store we require, if you wish to purchase something, that you turn your cookies on so that we can assign you a unique Shopper ID. Otherwise, the purchasing process cannot be completed, as we cannot successfully carry your information from page to page, tracking the items in your shopping basket. You can however place an order by phone, fax or mail.
Security
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.
We use a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Certificate on our online store to offer secure communications by encrypting all data to and from our online store. Giving you complete confidence that the information you send is being sent securely and to the right place. Most browsers will display a locked padlock symbol and the start of our web address will be "https://" indicating that it is a secure session.
For your safety, we record IP addresses in the aggregate for monitoring the level of activity on our site, but we do not link this to your Shopper ID, with the following exception: When you place an order using our online checkout process, we record your IP address with your order to help us identify fraudulent credit card use. We may share this with the financial institution that issued the credit card with which an order was placed, or with law enforcement authorities, if we determine use of the credit card was fraudulent.
