Privacy Policy

Our Commitment To Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our catalog pages and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

The Information We Collect:
This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on Generations' website.  The type of  information collected includes:

• Name
• Address
• Email Address
• Phone/Fax Number
• Credit/Debit Card Information

Our on-line ordering system is provided by AT&T's PWP SecureBuy® Basic using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, the industry-standard method for protecting web communications developed by Netscape Communications Corporation.
The SSL security protocol provides the following:

• Data encryption
• Server authentication
• Message integrity
• Optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection
• Because SSL is built into all major browsers and web servers, simply installing a digital certificate turns on their SSL capabilities. The digital certificate is the "key" used to decrypt the message at the receiving end. This makes it very difficult for the message to be intercepted and decrypted.

On some pages, you can submit information about other people. For example, if you order a gift online and want it sent directly to the recipient, you will need to submit the recipient's address. In this circumstance, the types of personal information collected are:

• Name
• Address
• Phone Number

The Way We Use Your Information:
We use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order on our site only to complete that order. We do not share this information with outside parties. We may however, from time to time, use your email or address information to notify you of special offers or  new products from Generations Herbal Apothecary & Gift Shop.

We use the information you provide about someone else when placing an order only to ship the product and to confirm delivery. We do not share this information with outside parties.

We offer gift-cards by which you can personalize a product you order for another person. Information you provide to us to create a gift-card is only used for that purpose, and it is only disclosed to the person receiving the gift.

Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above. To opt-out from receiving our notices and mailings (both via e-mail and snail-mail) simply drop us a note - Generations Herbal Apothecary & Gift Shop, 277 Main Street, Oxford MA 01540   *or*   nomail@generations-gifts.com - and let us know that you no longer wish to receive mailings from us.

Please note that we can not control the privacy of information you may provide on sites that you visit through a link on our site.  We strongly recommend that when you go to another site from ours  you read that site's privacy policy.
