• Information is obtained in two ways:
  1. Our servers create ANONYMOUS log files of all requests made for web pages and graphics and these logs contain the time of the request, the IP address of the request, the resource requested, the browser and OS used to make the request, and the web link which was clicked to cause the request to be made (called the "referrer"). We analyze these logs to get a better idea of when the site is the busiest, which items are the most (and least) popular, which ISPs our visitors are using to access the site, and which pages on the web link to the site. All of this information is used to improve the content on the site and your experience while browsing it. At no time do we store information about specific users.
  2. Registration for the Dandelion Bead Connection Forum contains fields for you to add personal information for legal reasons in the unlikely event that a legal dispute arises with members. The only place this information is recorded it is in a secured database. You have the option internally, to allow users to e-mail you directly, or use our more secure private message system. You have our solemn promise that you will receive no unsolicited email from Dandelion Beads as a result of your signing up for the Dandelion Bead Connection. You will not be added to any list of ours (other than the list of registered users on the forum, which only displays information you desire). Dandelion Beads takes no responsibility for any unsolicited email you may receive as a result of a 3rd party "harvesting" your email address or URL from the forum. It is not required that you display that information, we recommend that you choose the option not to do so within the forums control panel.  You may also simply omit this information when you register.

Cookies?

Dandelion Beads does not purposely store any cookies onto your computer through the use of our website.  Your visit to the site is kept as anonymous as possible to protect your privacy to the best of our ability.

What do we do with the information collected?:

First of all, you can rest easy knowing that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER will Dandelion Beads share your personal information with any 3rd party. Your email address will never be given (or sold) to spammers and, if you're a member of the Dandelion Bead Connection Forum, your signup data will never be be given (or sold) to junk mailers. Dandelion Beads is 100% committed to your privacy and your peace of mind. This policy will NEVER change.

Unsolicited Email:

It is and shall forever be Dandelion Bead's policy to never send you email that you didn't expressly ask for. If you send us an email through your personal email account, of course, we may choose to drop you a line sometime in the future. This would be a personal issue only though, and you take the same risk whenever you send an email to another individual. We do not collect the addresses of people who send us emails, but we may add your address to our personal address book if we have an interesting conversation. If you don't want us to, just say so when you write us.

If any of the above information is unclear, don't hesitate to write us for a clarification. Basically it all boils down to this: your privacy and peace of mind are of the utmost importance to Dandelion Beads.  We will never do anything to jeopardize your trust in our company.
