Privacy Statement
Respecting your user privacy on the Internet
Privacy Statement
Your privacy on the Internet is paramount to us at Priano.com. Our privacy statement details the types of information we gather online and how we use it. Please read this information carefully. If the online information practices of Priano.com change, we will inform you by posting the new Privacy Policy information here on our website.
Use of Information
We gather certain types of customer information in an effort to enhance your shopping experience and to make you aware of our products, services, promotions and contests. Priano.com may also use this information to make offers to you, help us develop and improve our site to serve you better.
Types of Collected Information
Priano.com collects two types of information about users: "Personal Information" (such as name, email address, mailing address and phone and credit card numbers) and "Aggregate Information" (such as information about how many users log on to our sites on a daily basis). For credit card purchases we use Cybersource and/or Verisign to process our credit card payments.
Personal Information
Personal Information is collected online when users voluntarily register with Priano.com to purchase items, register with Friends of John, and enter contests and other promotional opportunities provided on Priano.com. We also maintain a record of your product interests and purchases online. We may receive personal usage and demographic information from third parties we work with.
Aggregate Information
Aggregate Information is non-personally identifiable/anonymous information about you, such as age, gender, types of products purchased, pages you access most frequently or search terms you enter. Aggregate Information is used in a collective manner, and no single person can be identified by that compiled information. When you request a page from our site, our servers log your Internet Protocol (IP) address. Tracking IP addresses is one method of collecting Aggregate Information about your activities online and information volunteered by you.
Information Sharing with Third Parties, Consultants and Affiliates
Priano.com does not share, sell or trade with third parties your Personal Information gathered online, such as email addresses or other specific details about you. We do not contribute to or participate in cooperative databases, which give other companies access to such Personal Information. For privacy purposes, all information relating to our customers is stored on a highly secure server, and all credit card information is stored in an encrypted format. However, Priano.com may share Personal Information gathered online with consultants or for any internal business purpose. Priano.com may also divulge Personal Information to comply with any valid legal process. Moreover, Priano.com receives personal usage and demographic information from third parties and uses this information to improve our products and services. Priano.com may share Aggregate Information with affiliates and consultants for any internal business purpose and with third parties for their advertising and promotional purposes.
Use of Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that websites, when you visit them, often store on your hard drive. A cookie may contain information (such as unique user ID), which is used to track the pages of the sites that you've visited. Priano.com uses cookies to make your experience more pleasurable, such as preserving the contents of your shopping bag during your visit. Priano.com also uses cookies to measure activity on our site, which allows us to determine which areas and features of our site are most popular. This information allows us to make improvements and updates to enhance your Priano.com experience. Parts of our site will not function if you do not have cookies enabled, such as the Shopping Bag and Friends of John areas. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you turn off cookies or refuse them, though, you will not be able to make a purchase from our site, nor will we be able to recognize you as a Friend of John to allow you access to your account information.
Security and SSL
Protecting your order information is a priority for us. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your online order information. To check the security of your connection, look at the lower left-hand corner of your browser window after accessing the server. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser), then SSL is active and the server is secure. You can also double-check by looking at the URL line of your browser. When accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https." Some versions of browsers and some firewalls don't permit communication through secure servers. In that case, you won't be able to connect to the server and therefore won't be able to place an order through a secure connection. If you cannot access the secure server for any reason, please print our shopping page and place your order by phone at 1-866-877-0908.
Email and Electronic Newsletters
Priano.com and its affiliates may offer electronic newsletters and emails to those who have provided their email address. You will only receive a newsletter or email if you agree during registration or directly from our newsletter sign-up form to receive these items. Unsubscribe instructions are included in each electronic newsletter and email. Please note that when you make a purchase from Priano.com we will send you an email to confirm your order and may also need to contact you via phone, postal mail or email if we have other questions regarding your order.
Information Removal
If you prefer not to receive information from Priano.com, either by email or postal mail, please let us know by sending us an email at unsubscribe@priano.com. Please be sure to include your full name, email address, postal address and any message. Please note that such requests may take up to six to eight weeks to become effective.
Children and Privacy
Priano.com is concerned about the safety of children when they use the Internet, and understands that children may not understand all the provisions of our Privacy Policy or make informed decisions about the choices that are made available to adult users of the Priano.com website. The Priano.com website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent. If we become aware that a customer is under the age of 13 and has registered without prior verifiable parental consent, we will remove his or her personally identifiable registration information from our files.
Links to Other Sites
Priano.com may contain links to sites other than our own. Those sites may have their own privacy statement or no privacy statement at all. We have no responsibility for those sites and provide these links solely for the convenience of our visitors. Such links may be to advertisers, content providers or other companies who may use our logo and/or style as a result of a co-branding agreement. These sites may send their own cookies to you and may collect information and use it in a way inconsistent with Priano.com's Privacy Statement. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of use of any third-party sites or services before providing any of them with any of your Personal Information. Priano.com does not control the content that appears on these sites and takes no responsibility for their content, nor should it be implied that Priano.com endorses or otherwise recommends such sites or their products or services offered.
Personal Information Corrections
If at any time you wish to change, correct or update your Personal Information, or have it removed from our database, please call us at 1-866-877-0908.

It may be possible for third parties not under the control of Priano.com to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully.

If you choose to visit our site, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Privacy Statement and our Terms of Use, including but not limited to limitations of damages and application of the law of the State of Connecticut. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NEGLIGENCE, SHALL PRIANO.COM OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF THE INFORMATION OR MATERIALS ON THE PRIANO.COM SITE. THIS APPLIES EVEN IF PRIANO.COM OR AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF PRIANO.COM HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
