Privacy policy
Because we respect your privacy, our business procedures and information systems ensure that your information is handled in a secure and responsible manner. We post this privacy policy here to let you know what kind of information we collect, how it is handled, and with whom it may be shared. We do not go beyond the bounds of this policy without your knowledge and approval.

The information we collect
Whenever you visit us – online or in our place of business – we obtain from you the information we need to complete your transaction. This may include your name, mailing address, telephone number, and e-mail address. If you use a credit or debit card or pay by check, we must obtain your account number to complete the transaction. The personal information you provide may be cross-checked against your credit card information to verify your identity and authorize the use of your card. We do not collect nor seek other personal information or extraneous information about you in any manner.

Information we do not share with others 
We do not share, sell or trade e-mail addresses, information collected as part of a survey, or information about you or your household. We do not contribute to or participate in shared or cooperative databases, which give other companies access to your personal information. We do not release credit card or financial information for use by other companies. Any information you provide while using our site stays with us and is only available for you to use for your convenience.

Service providers
We may provide information to outside companies that help us bring you the products and services we offer. For example, we may work with an outside company to pack and ship a merchandise order placed in our gift shop. When we do so, we may provide your shipping address and name to such firms.

Please protect your information in public
If you are using a public computer, you should be sure to LOG OUT at the conclusion of your time on the computer. Doing so assures that your information is safely stored with us but is not accessible to anyone else from the computer you used. Please also be aware that some companies legally monitor e-mail messages sent and received by their employees while at work.

Unsolicited e-mail
You will receive e-mail from us only if you have asked to receive it. We do not send unsolicited or nuisance e-mail, nor do we provide our customer database to companies that do.

Children's privacy
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act imposes certain requirements on Web sites that knowingly collect information on children under 13. We do NOT knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13 on our Web site, and our online store is offered for customers who are 18 years of age or older. We believe that persons under the age of 18 should not submit personal information to this or any other Web site without the consent of a parent or guardian.

Links to other sites
Occasionally we provide links to other sites we think you will enjoy. These sites operate independently of galleyhatch.com and have established their own privacy and security policies. For the best online experience, we strongly encourage you to review these policies at any site you visit.
