We receive and store any information you enter on Spirit Shop or give us in

with customer service. As a result of those actions, you might supply us with such

e-mail address; high school; class year; or people to whom purchases have been shipped
(for example, a gift recipient), including address and phone number.
Information Automatically Collected
We automatically receive and store certain types of information whenever you visit
Spirit Shop. Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the
Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the internet; e-mail

What Are Cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive
through your web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to
provide customized features. We use data collection devices such as "cookies" on
certain pages of Spirit Shop. "Cookies" are small files placed on your hard
drive that assist us in providing customized services. We also offer certain features
that are only available through the use of a cookie. Cookies also allow you to enter
your password less frequently during a session. Most cookies are "session cookies,"
meaning that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a
session. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although
in that case you may not be able to use certain features on Spirit Shop and
you may be required to reenter your password more frequently.
Information
from Other Sources
We might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account
information. For example, we may receive updated delivery and address information
from our shippers or other sources so that we can correct our records and deliver
your next purchase or communication more easily.
Use of Your Information
By visiting our site, you agree that we may use personally identifiable information
about you to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to analyze site usage,
improve our content and product offerings, and customize Spirit Shop's content,
layout, and services. These uses improve Spirit Shop and better tailor it to
meet your needs. You agree that we may use your information to contact you and deliver
information to you that, in some cases, is targeted to your interests, such as administrative
notices, product offerings, special discounts or promotions and communications relevant
to your use of Spirit Shop.
Does Spirit Shop Disclose the Information
It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business. We do not
sell or license any personally identifiable information about you to any third party.
However, the following describes some of the ways that your personally identifiable
information may be disclosed.
Product Manufacturers and Affiliate Partners
Spirit Shop manufactures the majority of the products listed on Spirit Shop.
We may in the future operate stores, provide services, or sell product lines jointly
with other manufacturer's or affiliate partners and may share our data, including
personally identifiable information about you, with these manufacturer's or affiliate
partners when necessary, for example, to complete or ship your order to the correct
address.
Agents
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples
include delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, analyzing data, providing
marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings
and links), and processing credit card payments.. They have access to personal information
needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Business Transfers
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries,
or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of
the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any
pre-existing Privacy Policy. If Spirit Shop, or substantially all of its assets
are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
Legal Disclosures of Your Information
We may disclose information about you to law enforcement or other government officials
as we believe necessary in connection with an investigation of illegal activity
that may expose you or us to legal liability. In addition, if you have purchased
products from us on extended payment terms, it may be necessary for us to file certain
information about you with state or local government offices to perfect our security
interest in the products so purchased, or to provide certain information about you
to collection agencies in the event of non-payment or a payment dispute.
What Choices Do You Have?
You can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed
to take a purchase or to take advantage of other features on Spirit Shop.
Minors
We require children under the age of 13 to inform their parents of their intent
to use Spirit Shop. We also ask that minors under the age of 16 do NOT submit
any personal information to us. If you are a minor (under the age of 18), you can
use Spirit Shop only in conjunction with your parents or guardians permission.
Conditions of Use and Revisions
If you choose to visit Spirit Shop, your visit and any dispute over privacy
is subject to this Policy and our User Agreement, including limitations on damages,
arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the State of Washington.
If you have any concern about privacy at Spirit Shop, please contact us with
a thorough description, and we will try to resolve it. Our business changes constantly,
and our Privacy Policy and the User Agreement will change also. We may e-mail periodic
reminders of our policies and agreement, unless you have instructed us not to, but
you should check our web site frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise,
our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have about you and
your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially
change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information
collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.
