This privacy statement covers all Web properties owned and maintained by HappyThoutzProductions, including but not limited to http://www.Happythoutzproductions.com and websites that are under Happythoutzproductions service agreement.

Why we collect personal information

Why do we collect your personal information? Because it helps us deliver a superior level of customer service. It enables us to give you convenient access to our products and services and focus on categories of greatest interest to you. In addition, your personal information helps us keep you posted on the latest product announcements, special offers, and events that you might like to hear about.

What information we collect

Happythoutzproductions is the sole owner of the information collected on its web properties. Happythoutzproductions collects information from its users at several different points on our Web sites. There are a number of situations in which your personal information may help us give you better service. For example, we may ask for your personal information when you’re discussing a service issue on the phone with an associate, participating in an online survey or purchasing a product or service. At such times, we may collect personal information relevant to the situation, such as your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and contact preferences; your credit card information and information about the Happythoutzproduction products you own, date of purchase; and information relating to a service issue. We collect information for market research purposes — such as your occupation — to gain a better understanding of our customers and thus provide more valuable service.

Consent

User knowledge and consent are required before we may collect, use or disclose personal information, except in instances such as an investigation by police or other situations permitted by law. We accept any of the following as your consent for HappyThoutzProductions existing use and future collection, use and disclosure of your personal information for the identified purposes:
1. Your receipt of this Privacy Policy, unless you advise Happythoutzproductions, either orally or in writing, that you do not agree with the terms stated in this Policy, and that you wish to opt out of all or portions of it;
2. Your unrestricted provision of information to Happythoutzproductions upon order or to HappyThoutzProductions Service representatives; or
3. Your expressed written or oral consent as obtained through the registration process.

How we protect your personal information


HappyThoutzProductions takes precautions to protect user’s information. When users submit sensitive information via HappyThoutzProductions Web sites, their information is protected both online and off-line — including administrative, technical, and physical measures — to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

When our registration/order forms ask users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our paid order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just 'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also employ security measures to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerks or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment.

Order

When a user purchases a paying service, we request information from the user on our order form. A user must provide contact information (such as name, email, and billing address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble processing an order, the information is used to contact the user.

Information Use


HappyThoutzProductions takes your privacy very seriously. Be assured that HappyThoutzProductions does not sell or rent your contact information to other marketers. HappyThoutzProductions acts as a passive conduit for the distribution and receipt of its e-mail communications and therefore will not monitor, edit, or disclose the contents of a user's private communications unless HappyThoutzProductions in good faith believes that such action is necessary to: (1) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on HappyThoutzProductions; (2) protect and defend the rights or property of HappyThoutzProductions; (3) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of its users or the public, or (4) provide technical services to the account. Users should also be aware (and hereby agree) that certain technical processing of and access to email messages and their content may be required to: (a) route the messages; (b) conform to connecting networks' technical requirements; (c) prevent or minimize disruptions to HappyThoutzProductions; (d) conform to other similar requirements, or (e) provide technical service to support the account.

Profile

We store information that we collect through cookies and log files to create a profile of our users. A profile is stored information that we keep on individual users that details their viewing preferences. Consequently, collected information is tied to the user's personally identifiable information to provide offers and improve the content of the site for the user. This profile is used to tailor a user's visit to our web sites, and to direct pertinent marketing promotions to them. We do not share personally identifiable elements of your profile with other third parties. Your profile is shared in aggregate form only.

Cookies and other technologies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user's hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.

By setting a cookie on our site, users would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If users reject the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. Persistent cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. See the "Profile" section, above.

Log Files

Like most Web sites, our servers use log files to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Communications from the Site

Invoices and Account Statements

We send all customers regular emails summarizing usage and credit card charges. These emails are a part of the HappyThoutzProductions service, and users cannot opt-out of receiving them, though they can deactivate their account. Information identifying the credit card is not included in these communications.

Business Transitions

In the event HappyThoutzProductions goes through a business transition, such as a merger, or acquisition by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users' personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. Users will be notified prior to a change of ownership or control of their personal information. If as a result of the business transition, the users' personally identifiable information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection they will be given a choice not to have their information used in this different manner, as described in the notification of changes section, below.

Surveys

Periodically, our site requests information from users via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and address), and demographic information (such as zip code). Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of HappyThoutzProductions 's services. Users' personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties unless we give prior notice and a choice to opt-out. Though we may use an intermediary to conduct these surveys, they may not use customers' personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.

Supplementation of Information

In order for HappyThoutzProductions to properly fulfill its obligations to users it is necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information from 3rd party sources. HappyThoutzProductions verifies the billing address on all credit card transactions and may obtain credit reports for some corporate customers. The information obtained from these third party sources is maintained in a manner consistent with HappyThoutzProductions 's Privacy Policy.

Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information

You can help us by also taking precautions to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often using a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure web browser like Microsoft Internet Explorer.

If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate users' personally identifiable information by contacting HappyThoutzProductions Customer Service.

Notification of Changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes in this privacy statement, and other places we deem appropriate, so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.

If, however, we are going to use users' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our Web site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also email users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations must be made five working days in advance to avoid charges. If cancellation occurs with four working day's notice, client will be charged 50% of the total scheduled time. If cancellation occurs within less than four working day's notice, client will be charged the full amount for the scheduled time. Cancellations must be made by calling 866.374.4459 between 9am and 5pm Monday-Friday.
