Privacy Policy
How do we protect visitor information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your
personal information. Your personal information is contained behind secured
networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special
access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information
confidential. When you place orders or access your personal information, we
offer the use of a secure server. All sensitive/credit information you supply
is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into
our databases to be only accessed as stated above.
Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to
your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables
the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture
and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us
remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to
help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity,
which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to
help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that
we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better
understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to
use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and
improve our business.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent,
or you can choose to turn off all cookies. Each browser is a
little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to
modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't have access to many
features that make your site experience more efficient and some of our services
will not function properly. However, you can still place orders over the
telephone by contacting customer service.
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally
identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice, except as
described below. The term "outside parties" does not include Newtown
Chocolate Shoppe, LLC or Newtown Chocolatier. It also does not include website
hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website,
conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to
keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when
we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies,
or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.
