We want you to know how we collect, use and protect information about our online guests. This privacy policy will tell you:

What information about guests do we collect?
Information You Give Us
We receive and may store any information you enter on our Web site or give to our Web site in any other way. For example, we collect information you provide when you place an order, register with us, send us an e-mail or call us, enter a sweepstakes, or enroll or participate in a club or service such as gift registries or 'tell-a-friend'. This information may include:
- your name
- your mailing address
- your e-mail address
- your phone number
- your credit card number
along with any other personal or preference information you provide to us.
It may also include information you submit about other people; for example, the name and address of a gift recipient. Credit card information is used solely to fulfill orders only.
Automatic Information
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our Web site. For example, we use "cookies" like many other Web sites. Through "cookies" we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses our Web site. There are utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we cannot provide you with a personalized experience or certain services at our Web sites if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
Information From Other Sources
We may receive information about you from other sources. This may help improve the personalization of our service to you by providing better product recommendations or special offers that we think will interest you.
What are "Cookies" and how do we use them?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your
computer’s hard drive through your Web browser. Cookies allow us to provide
features such as Buy One Now purchasing and storage of items in your shopping
cart between visits. Abandoned shopping carts are removed on a daily basis
sometime after
midnight eastern standard time.
The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell
you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the
browser notify you when you receive a new cookie or how to disable cookies
altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of our Web
sites’ best features, so we recommend that you leave them turned on.
Does The Sausage Source share information they receive?
The Sausage Source
Never. The Sausage Source will not sell or rent your personal information to anyone unless we have your written consent to share the information in advance first. Any and all information collected will be used to provide better products and services to our customers. We restrict access to your personal information to those employees who reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard your non-public personal information.
Protection of our Web sites and Others
We may disclose information you provide to our Web sites when we believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law; to enforce or apply our Terms & Conditions of Use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property or safety of our Web sites, our users or others.
What choices do I have?
E-Mails
If you provide our Web site with your e-mail address by "opting-in", you may receive e-mails from The Sausage Source occasionally. If you do not want to receive marketing or promotional e-mails from our Web sites, please click the "Opt-Out" or "Unsubscribe" located on the bottom of the promotional email in question or click here. You may still receive e-mails from us if you have requested them through one of our site services such as gift reminders or a 'tell-a-friend'. You can discontinue these e-mails by canceling your subscription to these services.
You may still receive e-mail from The Sausage Source if they received your e-mail address from other sources or as a result of their transactions or experiences with you.

you have further questions about our e-mail unsubscribe process, or

What about links to and from other Web sites?
Our Web sites may offer links to other sites. Other sites have their own policies regarding privacy. If you visit one of these sites, you may want to review the privacy policy on that site. In addition, you may have linked to our Web site through another site. For example, in certain cases you may have linked to sausagesource.com through banner advertising on another site. In such cases the site you linked from may collect information from people who click on the banner or link. You may want to refer to the privacy policies on those sites to see how they collect and use this information.
Application of this Privacy Policy
This privacy policy applies to all information collected or submitted on our Web site.
Children
We recognize the particular importance of protecting privacy where children are involved. We are committed to protecting children's privacy on the Internet and we comply fully with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If a child has provided our Web site with personally identifiable information, we ask that a parent or guardian call 603.588.6765 or contact us and we will delete the information about the child from our files.
Your Consent
By using our Web site, you consent to our use of guest information as described in this online privacy policy. We may change or add to this privacy policy so we encourage you to review it periodically.
Security
Our Commitment to Data Security
We have appropriate physical, electronic and procedural security safeguards to protect and secure the information we collect.
Secure Sockets Layering (SSL)
Our Web sites use Secure Sockets Layering (SSL) to encrypt your personal credit information, including your credit card number, before it travels over the Internet. SSL technology is the industry standard for secure online transactions. Because we use SSL, placing an order online at one of our Web sites is just as safe as giving your credit card number over the phone.
Safe Shopping Guarantee
Our security measures are designed to prevent anyone from stealing and using your credit card number. In addition, consumer protection laws protect you against the unauthorized use of your credit card. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, if your credit card is used without your authorization, your liability for those fraudulent charges cannot exceed $50. So, if someone steals your credit card or your credit card number, your liability is limited to $50 no matter how much the thief charges to your account. If your credit card provider does hold you liable for any part of this $50, we will cover the entire liability for you, up to the full $50.
We
will cover this liability only if the unauthorized use of your credit card
resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made at our Web sites while
using the secure server. In the event of unauthorized use of your credit card,
you must notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting rules
and procedures.
