If, however, customer would prefer that these companies not collect such information, customer may email GFA at the following email address: hello@katherineemeneth.com.

4.     Disclosure of the Information.

(a)        Within Corporate Organization. GFA is a multinational organization, with legal entities, business processes, management structures, and technical systems that cross borders. GFA may share your personal information within the GFA corporate organization, and may transfer the information to countries in the world where GFA conducts business. Some countries may provide less legal protection for customer personal information. In such countries GFA will still handle customer personal information in the manner described herein.

(b)       Mergers and Acquisitions. Circumstances may arise where for business reasons, GFA decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize its businesses in the United States or some other country. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal identifying information to prospective or actual purchasers, and/or receiving such information from sellers. It is GFA's practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.

(c)        Agents. GFA employs or engages other companies and individuals to perform business functions on behalf of GFA. These persons are provided with personal identifying information required to perform their functions, but are prohibited by contract from using the information for other purposes. These persons engage in a variety of functions which include, but are not limited to, fulfilling orders, delivering packages, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments and providing customer services.

(d)       Affiliated Businesses. GFA works closely with affiliated businesses operating web site stores, providing services or selling products on each other's Web sites. These businesses identify themselves to customers. Customer information related to a transaction with an affiliated business is shared with that affiliated business.

(e)        Marketing Analysis by Third Parties. GFA reserves the right to disclose to third parties personal information about customers for marketing analysis; however, any information disclosed will be in the form of aggregate data that does not describe or identify an individual customer.

(f)         Disclosure to Governmental Authorities. GFA may release personal information to appropriate governmental authorities where release is required by law (for example, a subpoena) or by a regulation, or is requested by a government agency conducting investigations or proceedings.

5.     Use of Computer Tracking Technologies.

(a)        No Tracking of Personal Information. GFA's Web site(s) are not set up to track, collect or distribute personal information not entered by visitors. Our site logs do generate certain kinds of non-identifying site usage data, such as the number of hits and visits to our sites. This information is used for internal purposes by technical support staff to provide better services to the public and may also be provided to others, but, again, the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.

(b)       Use of Cookies. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to customer's browser from a Web server and is stored on the computer's hard drive. GFA uses non-identifying cookies to provide easier site navigation. GFA's Web site(s) can still be used if customer's browser is set to reject cookies. GFA's cookies do not generate personal data, do not read personal data from your machine and are never tied to anything that could be used to identify you.

(c)        Use of Web Beacon Technologies. GFA may also use Web beacon or other technologies to better tailor its Web site(s) to provide better customer service. If these technologies are in use, when a visitor accesses these pages of the Web site, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by GFA or by its suppliers. Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If customer does not want cookie information to be associated with customer's visits to these pages, customer can set its browser to turn off cookies; however, Web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded.

(d)       Collection of Non-Identifiable Information. GFA may collect non-identifiable information from user visits to the GFA Web site(s) in order to provide better customer service. Examples of such collecting include: traffic analysis, such as tracking of the domains from which users visit, or tracking numbers of visitors; measuring visitor activity on GFA Web site(s); Web site and system administration; user analysis; and business decision making. Such information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." GFA or its contractors may use this data to analyze trends and statistics.

(e)        Collection of Personal Information. GFA collects personal identifying information from customer during a transaction. GFA may extract some personally identifying information about that transaction in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information, such as clickstream data. This information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level (not at an individual level) to help GFA understand trends and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an individual level.

6.     Information Security.

(a)        Commitment to Online Security. GFA intends to protect customer personal information and to maintain its quality. To achieve information security and quality, GFA implements appropriate measures and processes, such as using encryption when transmitting certain sensitive information.

(b)       No Liability for Acts of Third Parties. GFA will exercise all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of customer personal information. However, transmissions protected by industry standard security technology and implemented by human beings cannot be made absolutely secure. Consequently, GFA shall not be liable for unauthorized disclosure of personal information due to no fault of GFA including, but not limited to, errors in transmission and unauthorized acts of GFA staff and third parties.
