Where you go and what you do — What we know without you telling us !
Data about your activity while here on this site is automatically provided to
Scandia Down® when you sign on. For each visitor, our Web server automatically
recognizes only your domain name, but not your e-mail address. We collect only
the domain name, but not the e-mail address of visitors to our Web pages; we
collect aggregate information on what pages consumers access or visit, how many
visits we get, and information such as where visitors arrived from as far as
other sites on the Internet or if they directly typed our website address into
their browser. It is used by us for internal review in aggregate and
non-personally-identifiable form.
Cookies — How we know what we know without you telling us !
When you come to
Scandia Down® or when you register with
Scandia Down® we create your personal profile, assign a personal identification
number, then send this personal identification number back to your computer's
hard drive in the form of a "cookie," which is a very small bit of
code. A "cookie" is very small text file placed on your hard drive by
a Web Page server. It serves as your personal identification card, and cannot
be executed as code or deliver viruses. The use of cookies is an industry
standard; you will find them at most major Web sites. Cookies make Web-surfing
easier for you by saving your preferences while you're at our site. We never
save passwords or credit card information in cookies.
Cookies enable us to know more about your use of the site, and allow you to utilize some of our website's functionality, and correspond with us about your personal profile without having to fill out registration forms with information you've already provided. We use cookies to record session information, such as items that you added to your shopping cart and to conduct marketing tests on our Web pages. By showing how and when you use the site, cookies help us see which areas and products are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our visitors' needs.
The purpose of a "cookie" is to tell the server that you returned to that Web page. Of course, if you never register or leave personal information with Scandia Down® then the server only knows that someone with your cookie has returned to the Web site. You are in charge of deciding whether we know anything about you. But the more you tell us about yourself, the more we can help you find information or products you want.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of the Scandia Down® website and its functionality and links will not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies. For example, without cookies, you may have difficulty completing shopping transactions, entering giveaways, or creating your personal profile. You can order your browser to accept all cookies or to alert you every time a cookie is offered. Then you can decide whether to accept one or not. If you want to control which cookies your computer accepts, just follow the instructions for your particular Internet browser system located at http://www.microsoft.com/term/privacy.htm.
Your E-mail address — Do We Know It ?
Your E-mail address — What Do We Do With It ?
Your E-mail address and other personally identifying data about you is known to
Scandia Down® only when you voluntarily submit it to
Scandia Down® We collect your e-mail address only if you post a message to us, if you
communicate with us via e-mail, if you ask us to communicate with you by e-mail
such as for a confirmation of your order or shipment advice, or if you
volunteer it for any reason, such as survey information and/or site
registration, or sign-up for a Newsletter, and if you started but did not
complete an order.
If you begin to place an order from this website, and if you have at any time
given us your e-mail address, we will use your e-mail address not only to
communicate with you about the status of your order but also to send you our
own e-mails regarding special sales, exclusive offers, and other valuable
promotions that we think will interest you.
If you enter one of our giveaways, Tel.e.Friend® about one of our products, or sign up for one of our Newsletters and give us your e-mail address, we will use your e-mail address not only for the purpose it was submitted, but also to send you e-mails regarding our own special sales, exclusive offers, and other valuable promotions that we think will interest you.
Like many other online merchants, we participate in cooperative database services which assist us in the matching of offline and online purchasing behavior, and marketing analysis, so that participants can better analyze and understand the differences and tendencies of print catalog purchasers and website visitors, and so that we can maximize the benefit of postal mail and e-mail we send to you. This sharing of information allows us and other interested parties to make future marketing efforts more efficient. These cooperative database services and their participants, however, have no right to use your e-mail address to send you e-mail. At any time, the only person who will e-mail you is us.
If you would prefer not to receive emails from us regarding special sales and exclusive offers, click here.
Personal Information Other Than Your E-mail Address
Your California Privacy Rights Scandia Down® has a policy of not disclosing the personal information of our customers to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes if our customers have exercised their option to prevent that information from being disclosed to third parties for such purposes.
The following paragraphs explain what we do with your personal information and how you can prevent it, or simply click here to change your privacy preferences.
We will use your shipping and payment address, and the address you give to us when you "register" your profile with us, to send you promotional literature for Scandia Down, and catalogs of our participating third-party merchants and affiliated companies which we feel will be of interest to you, all by postal mail.
If you have given us your telephone number, when registering your profile with us or when ordering merchandise from us, we may use your telephone number to reach out to you to follow up on your order of merchandise, including follow-up marketing. We do not share your telephone number with any outside parties for any purpose whatsoever.
We indefinitely maintain all of the information you give to us, to help us serve you better and to understand our customers and their purchasing patterns over time. Any payment information that is maintained by us is masked to keep it protected in the unlikely event of unauthorized breaches of security.
We share your name, address and purchase information directly with select merchants who are marketing affiliates of ours. We use this information to match against our own offline catalog information (available from our records and other sources, such as demographic information and past purchase history) and we allow our marketing affiliates to use this information to match against their own offline information (available from their records and other sources, such as demographic information and past purchase history). This sharing of information allows us and other interested parties to make future marketing efforts more efficient. It may be used by our select marketing affiliates to send you offers of interest, by regular postal mail. If at any time we are required to share your full credit card information with marketing affiliates so they can bill you for a product or service, you will be made aware at the time of offer that the product or service is being provided directly by that vendor and we will clearly ask for your consent to make that transfer of your credit card information through secure transmission.
Like many other online merchants, we participate in cooperative database services which assist us in the matching of offline and online purchasing behavior so that participants can better analyze and understand the differences and tendencies of print catalog purchasers and website visitors and we can maximize the benefit of postal mail and e-mail we send to you if you have signed up with us to receive postal mail or e-mail. It may be used by other cooperative database participants to send you offers of interest, by postal mail.
Lastly, we do not currently rent e-mail addresses to outside parties or allow any outside parties to use them for e-mailing purposes.
If you prefer that we do not include you in lists of information we share with others, click here.

Scandia Down® uses a number of third party data gathering and analysis services, which aggregate information into broad categories to help us provide you better products, services, and improved websites. We refer to them here as our "Data Compilers". Our Data Compilers are contractually bound to keep our visitors’ and customers’ data absolutely secure and confidential, and only to analyze the information they have access to by the software we license from them and return it back to Scandia Down®. They have no rights to use this information for any purpose, match it against any other information in their possession, nor transfer or disclose this information to anyone other than to Scandia Down®.
Our Data Compilers have adopted privacy guidelines set by the Federal Trade Commission.

As a visitor to the
Scandia Down® site, you may have arrived here through a link on one of our affiliate
sites. Our affiliates operate websites which they use to conduct a business or
generate revenues, and
Scandia Down® compensates its affiliates based upon any purchases made by an
affiliate-linked visitor to the
Scandia Down® site. The operator of our affiliates program, Commission Junction, in
providing its services to us, does not deal directly with our customers. A
visitor who clicks on a
Scandia Down® link located on an affiliate's website is redirected, invisibly, through
the website of Commission Junction, where its technology automatically records
the IP “address” of the browser used by the visitor, but that address
does not permit identification of the individual using the browser. In
addition, during such redirection, Commission Junction may place a
“cookie” on the hard drive of the visitor's computer through his or
her Web browser (See description of cookies above). Commission Junction does
not have access to data that identifies or permits the identification of any of
Scandia Down" customers or visitors. The operator of our affiliates program encourages
you to learn more about its privacy standards by

As a visitor to
Scandia Down® site, the operator of our security monitor, ScanAlert will have access
to your activity here. This web site is tested and certified daily to pass the
FBI/SANS Internet Security Test. ScanAlert's security auditing technology
allows the HACKER SAFE logo to appear only when a web site's current security
status meets the highest published government standards. The access which we
allow to ScanAlert for its HACKER SAFE service help protect you from identity
theft and credit card fraud. According to ScanAlert, “HACKER SAFE does not mean
hacker proof. HACKER SAFE certification cannot and does not protect any of your
data that may be shared with other servers that are not certified HACKER SAFE,
such as credit card processing networks or offline data storage, nor does it
protect you from other ways your data may be illegally obtained such as
non-hacker "insider" access to it. For more information about the privacy
policies of ScanAlert and HACKER SAFE, go to

We share much of our data, including personally identifiable information about
you, with our parent company Hanover Direct, Inc., and its subsidiaries and
affiliated catalog and e-commerce companies. To the extent that you are not
already a customer of such entity, they will do nothing with the information
and will treat it at least as protectively as we treat the information we have
about you. If you are already a customer of such entity, they may use this
information to serve your needs better with respect to their merchandising,
promotion, and marketing. If you are a customer of another Hanover Direct
catalog company and prefer that we do not include you in lists of information
we share with one of our affiliated marketing companies which they may use for
promotion or marketing, please click here.
It is possible that Scandia Down®, Hanover Direct, or its affiliated companies, or any combination, could merge with or be acquired by another business entity. Should such a combination occur, you should expect that Scandia Down® would share some or all of your information in order to continue to provide this Scandia Down® shopping experience. You will receive notice of such event (to the extent it occurs) as provided in the paragraph below entitled "Notice", and we will require that the new combined entity follow the practices disclosed in this Privacy Policy with respect to your personal information.

Security
The importance of security for all personally identifiable
information associated with our customers and visitors is of utmost concern to
us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information
from your PC to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the
Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to
protect your personal information, Scandia Down® cannot ensure or warrant the
security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or
services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we
make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. When your credit
card information is transmitted to Scandia Down® we use industry standard, 3.0 SSL
(secure socket layer) encryption to ensure the security of your information.
Important update about SSL Technology
Web browsers (such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari) support
SSL technology to encrypt, or encode, your personal information before it is sent over the Internet.
SSL versions 1.0 and 2.0 found in
older browsers have known security weaknesses which could compromise your data.
To ensure you're getting the best protection available, Scandia Down.com only
allows secure transactions with browsers using SSL version 3.0 or higher. We
recommend upgrading to the latest version of your browser software and downloading
security updates as they become available.
The following browsers do support SSL version 3.0, however, if you do
not upgrade to the newest versions you may need to change your browser settings
to utilize it:
* Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher (PC)
* Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher (Mac)
* Netscape 2.0 (Domestic) or higher (PC/Mac)
* Firefox 0.8 or higher (PC/Mac/Linux)
* Mozilla 1.7 or higher (PC/Mac/Linux)

* Safari 1.0 or higher (Mac)
* Opera 1.7 or higher (PC/Mac)
* Omniweb 3.0 or higher (Mac)
* Konqueror 2.0 or higher (Linux)
We also have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to
protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have
collected from you at Scandia Down® Nothwithstanding the
foregoing, due to the open nature of the internet, We do not guarantee the
absence of theft, hacker activity, electronic or non-electronic tampering, or
computer crime, and we hereby disclaim responsibility and liability for stolen
information.
