| What information do we collect? |
| The information provided by the customer is very important and valuable for us. Much of the information is collected during registration, when the buyer is asked his/her name, shipping address, e-mail address, zip code, billing information, credit card number and expiration date. Apart from this, surveys may be conducted to collect further information. Our site does not collect any information about users under the age of 18. Our site also uses log files to keep track of each transaction; this information is used for resolving technical problems and re-creating errors. |
The information collected by these or any other ways will only be used for the following purposes:
- Process an Order
- Ship an Order
- Verify Payments
- Provide Order Status
- Send Our Newsletter
- Generate Site Statistics
- Customize the Buyer’s Experience Better
- Enter Sweepstakes (if requested)

We have the services of Linkpoint, a leader in the field of electronic transaction processing, to keep transactions on RiverSmile safe. |

| Customizing services: |
| Our buyer’s demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration or surveys is important to us, as it might help us understand and serve our buyers better. Any research undertaken would be compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. Presently we may share this aggregated data with reliable third parties, but no personally identifiable information would be shared with any party unless, the buyers concerned are informed of such collection or transfer. Further, a buyer may opt against allowing transfer of any information related to him/her by sending an e-mail to customerservice@riversmile.com |
| Information such as a buyer's password or credit card number is never disclosed at all. |
| We might collect certain technical information to insure that our site is working properly. For example, IP addresses of computers logged on to the site to help diagnose problems with our server. |
| Third Parties: We may share your personally identifying information with intermediaries, which is at present only the credit card company and the affiliate management company. They do not use your personally identifiable information. |
| However, the disclosure and use of information we collect from the buyers is what this policy applies to. The disclosure and use of the information that a buyer provides to a third party may be addressed by different sets of rules. We can not and do not control the privacy policies of third parties. |
| The site may have links to other sites. This policy does not apply to those sites. Please beware that we (RiverSmile) are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. The buyers are encouraged to read the privacy statements of each and every such site that collects your personally identifiable information.

| Security: |
| At RiverSmile we are committed to providing our customers with a secure shopping experience. We understand that the top most concern of on-line shoppers is security of their confidential credit card and personal details. RiverSmile has implemented SSL (Secure Socket Layers) to encrypt the communication between your computer and our database. The SSL communication is provided by Thawte a leading provider of secure communication products. |
| SSL protects against un-authorized parties trying to intercept your confidential information. We also use fraud screening procedures while processing credit card transactions. At RiverSmile we re-verify each and every transaction. Don't be surprised if our customer service representative calls you at your telephone number to confirm the order. |
| If for any reason you are still un-comfortable with our security measures, call us at +12123796305. We will be more than happy to process your order over the phone.
