This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for www.novica.com.

Because we want to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy, we will notify you of:

1. What personally identifiable information of yours or third party personally identification is collected from you through the web site
2. The organization collecting the information
3. How the information is used
4. With whom the information may be shared

If you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, you should contact our customer service department by email at service @ novica.com. NOVICA wholeheartedly respects your privacy. The sole owner of all personal information collected at this site is NOVICA, and NOVICA will NEVER rent or sell your personal information to any third party. The information collected and stored by NOVICA includes your name, address, telephone number, and email address. While your credit card information is collected at the time of purchase, only the last four digits are stored on NOVICA's server. Credit card information is sent directly to Verisign's secure server, and that is where it is safely held. Because NOVICA collects personal information through a secure server that features the latest encryption technology, you can be assured that none of your information will be viewed by anyone outside of NOVICA and Verisign (please see the Credit Card Security for more information). Furthermore, all shipping labels are pre-printed at NOVICA's regional offices, so none of your personal information is held or stored by any of the shipping companies that are used to deliver NOVICA's orders.

The information you provide to NOVICA will only be used to process your order. Unless there is a problem with your order or you have opted to receive the NOVICA Journal by email, you will not be contacted by NOVICA. If you do opt to receive the NOVICA Journal but later change your mind, you can request to be removed from our list by simply emailing us at remove @ novica.com. You may also update or change the personal information NOVICA has collected by sending an email to service @ novica.com. Should there be any changes to NOVICA's Privacy Guarantee, all affected users will immediately be notified by email and all relevant changes will be posted to this portion of the site.
