We have agreed to: 1- Provide customers with notice of their ability to opt out of information rental, sale or exchange with other marketers; COLLECTING INFORMATION ABOUT YOU In general, you can visit many of our web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. We may track the Internet domain address from which people visit us and analyze this data for trends and statistics, but individual users will remain anonymous unless you voluntarily tell us who you are. There may be times (such as when you purchase or order a product, subscribe to a service, register to receive catalogs, or to participate in contests, sweepstakes or promotions, etc.) when we ask you to provide certain information about yourself, such as your name, shipping/billing address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card information, birth date, gender, occupation, personal interests, etc. We also maintain a record of your online product purchases. Whether or not to provide such information is completely your own choice, but if you choose not to provide the information we request, you may be unable to purchase products or access certain services, offers, and content on our website. USING INFORMATION ABOUT YOU We use the personally identifiable information you provide for internal purposes, such as confirming and tracking your order, subscription or registration; analyzing trends and statistics; informing you of our new products; services and offers; and providing you with information from and about Stone Decorative. From time to time we might establish a business relationship with other people or entities that we believe are trustworthy. These are known as our select partners. In such cases we might share and cross-reference information, including personally identifiable information about you; this will enable these people or entities to contact you regarding products and services that may be of interest to you. To serve you better, we may combine information you give us online, in our stores or through our catalogs. We may also combine that information with publicly available information and information we receive from or cross-reference with our select partners and others. We use that combined information to enhance and personalize your shopping experience with us, to communicate with you about our products and events that may be of interest to you, and for other promotional purposes. We may contract companies or persons to provide certain services including credit card processing, shipping, data management, promotional services, etc. We call them our service providers. We provide our service providers with the information needed for them to perform these services. Although unlikely, in certain instances we may disclose your personally identifiable information when we have reason to believe that it is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against people or entities who may be causing injury to you, to Stone Decorative, or to others. We may also disclose your personally identifiable information when we believe the law requires. EDITING, UPDATING, CORRECTING, AND DELETING We want to communicate with you only if you want to hear from us.

If you would like to update or correct your e-mail address, street address or other personal information with us, please contact us in the same way. Please note that sometimes these requests may take up to 6-8 weeks to be effective, particularly if we are removing your name from postal mailings. In addition, when you purchase from us online or through our catalogs, or when you choose to enter a sweepstakes or other promotion, we may need to contact you via phone, e-mail or mail to address questions or issues specific to your order, entry, etc., even if you have opted to not receive communications.
