Mont Blanc Gourmet knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully. Therefore, this online Privacy Statement tells you about the information Mont Blanc Gourmet collects on www.montblancgourmet.com (the "Site"), and how we use that information. By using the Site, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Statement, as modified by us from time to time. If we change this Privacy Statement, we will post a notice on the home page of montblancgourmet.com and change the date at the top of this Privacy Statement, so that you are always aware of the information that we collect and how we use it. Therefore, we encourage you to check this page periodically for updates or changes whenever you visit the Site. All changes will become effective when posted, and by continuing to use the Site following the posting of any changes, you agree to be bound by such modified Privacy Statement.

The Information We Collect and How We Use It
When you visit and use the Site, we gather certain information to help us better serve you. The information that we receive and collect depends on what you do when you visit the Site. Except as described in this Privacy Statement, we do not sell, rent, share or disclose the personally identifiable information that you provide to us (which is information that can be used to identify you individually) with any other organization. Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. Currently, Mont Blanc Gourmet sends personally identifiable information to third-party service providers that work on our behalf to provide services relating to the ongoing maintenance and operation of the Site. These third parties do not have the right to use the personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary to assist us. They are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of such information, and are prohibited from using such information in any way not expressly authorized by Mont Blanc Gourmet. Some of our employees have access to customer information only in order to serve customers or maintain our information systems. These employees are subject to our corporate privacy policy.

Browsing the Site
When you browse the Site, we do not collect personally identifiable information. Even when you add items to a shopping cart as you browse, there is no need to submit personally identifiable information.

Information We Automatically Collect
Some information is automatically collected when you visit the Site. We collect the name of the domain and host from which you access the internet, the internet protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using, the browser software you use and your operating system, the date and time you access the Site, and the internet address of the web site from which you linked directly to the Site. We use this information to monitor the Site and provide us with the ability to enhance our customers' shopping experience and to determine aggregate information about usage patterns.

We use cookies to enhance the browsing experience on the Site. “Cookies” are small files or records that we place on your computer's hard drive to collect information about your activities on the Site. The information captured makes it possible for us to speed navigation and provide you with custom tailored content.

You can choose to have your browser warn you every time a cookie is being sent to you or you can turn off your computer's ability to receive cookies. If you refuse cookies, you will not be able to open a shopping cart on the Site, and therefore will not be able to complete an order with us online.
