This Privacy and Information Management Policy (the "Policy")
is intended to explain what Goody's does with your information and what
you can expect from Goody's. If you have additional questions or would like
further information regarding the Policy, please feel free to write us at service@shopgoodys.com.
Your use of this website is subject not only to the terms of this Policy,

Goody's reserves the right to update the Policy from time to time. Any
updates or changes to the Policy become effective immediately upon being
posted on this website. Therefore, please check the Policy periodically
for changes.
What type of information does Goody's gather from me and how is it used?
At no time are you obligated to provide us any personal information, and
at any time you no longer wish to receive communications from us, you are free
to "opt out" of receiving these communications. It is Goody's policy
to collect only that information that Goody's needs to meet our customer's
needs to fulfill purchase orders, conduct our business efficiently, and communicate
special or specific offers to you. In doing this, Goody's gathers only two
different types of information from your visit to our website.
The first type of information we collect about you is personally identifiable
information, such as, your name, phone number, mailing address, zip code,
e-mail address and payment information. This type of information may
be provided as part of a purchase process or credit card application and allows
us to process and fulfill your order and notify you of your order status.
Other examples of personally identifiable information we collect only
if
you subscribe to our e-mail program are your buying habits, age, gender
and information concerning your interests in various merchandise, programs
and services.
The second type is non-personally identifiable information. This type
of information may include your IP (web) address, browser type, domain
name, and specific Goody's web pages that you visit or click through. This
information
is gathered in order to assist Goody's in enhancing the website experience
of its customers and visitors. This data is collected automatically and
utilized in aggregate to help us consider trends so that we can improve
our Website and your ShopGoodys.com experience. Goody's may notify
you about it's promotions or to seek your voluntary participation in customer
surveys.
Is my information correct and secure?
Goody's takes reasonable efforts to ensure that customer information
is maintained accurately and securely. Goody's continues to take reasonable
steps to monitor
and implement new technology which is intended to aid in ensuring the accuracy
and security of customer information. Goody's collects and saves personally
identifiable information about customers who register for e-mail newsletters,
completing the customer service form, responding to the Tell Bob feature,
or purchasing Goody's merchandise online. Goody's will use your information
you provide when purchasing Goody's merchandise to fulfill your request.
Please note that, despite our diligence, new technology is constantly evolving.
Therefore, Goody's cannot immediately implement all new technology upon development.
Rather, Goody's attempts to implement technology which it believes best represents
our customers' needs.
