At Caftea, your privacy is our priority.
We are committed to protecting your privacy at all times, in all situations. The
information we collect about you when you become a member is used to process your
orders and to provide a more personalized experience on our site. Our site uses
Thawte SSL Certificates (Verisign) to increase the security of our customer's information. Please click on the Thawte seal at the bottom of our page to view the site's current SSL security information.
How Do We Use the Information We Collect?
When you become a Caftea member, we ask you to fill out a form that requests your
name, address and e-mail address as well as some demographic information. Caftea
will NOT share data with trusted partners.
Your name and address information is used solely to process orders unless your
prior consent is given. Without your consent, this information will NEVER be sold,
given, rented or traded to others for purposes other than order fulfillment. Your
demographic information (gender, etc.) will be used for several security purposes,
to ensure you are who you say you are and in fact you are paying with your credit
cards and not someone using your stolen credit cards.
Refer-A-Friend
If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our site, we
will ask you for your friend's name and email address. We will automatically send
your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. Caftea does
not store this information and uses it for the sole purpose of sending this one-time
email.
Our Use of Log Files
When you visit our site we automatically log your IP address, your browser type
and your access times. We utilize this information to conduct site performance
evaluations, to see where visitors are coming from and to keep track of click
stream data (the screens our users visit on our site). This data helps us to determine
what content our members find most appealing so that we can maximize your enjoyment
of the site. Log files are not tied to personally identifiable information.
Site Security
All Caftea employees take your personal information very seriously. All employees
must learn and obey our security policies. Access to member personal information
is limited to key management personnel and our member services department. The
information is ID and password protected and our Web security is reviewed on a
monthly basis. We have also installed and implied our site with a 128 bit encryption
SSL.
Correcting/Updating Your Personal Information
After becoming a Caftea subscriber you may correct/update your personal information by clicking on the 'My Account' link at the top of any page, entering your ID
and password when prompted and clicking the Edit Information button. The changes
you make will be reflected in our databases instantly. If you wish to deactivate
your account, you may contact our member services group through the 'My Account'
section, or the 'Contact Us' section.

addition, you will receive communication from us 1) if you contact us for a particular
reason, 2) to receive your orders, or 3) we need to contact you for administrative
purposes such as winning a contest. Administrative e-mails will not contain promotional

that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a
court order or legal process served on our Web site.
Supplementation

representation in order to ensure that your orders are delivered. We do this since
we want to make sure that our members receive the order and to lower costs associated
with our programs.
Contests

our customers. To enter these contests you need only to enter your ID and password
