eRug.com's Privacy Statement:

At eRug.com, we are committed to protecting your privacy. We use the information we collect about you to process orders and to provide a more personalized shopping experience. Please read on for more details about our privacy policy.

What information do we collect? How do we use it?

When you order, we need to know your name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card number (or other information necessary to process your payment if it is not by credit card), and expiration date. This allows us to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status.

When you submit a customer review, we also ask for your e-mail address, although you can choose not to have your e-mail address displayed with your review.

We personalize your shopping experience by using your purchases and selections for your Personal Gallery to shape our recommendations of rugs that might be of interest to you.  We also monitor customer traffic patterns and site usage to help us develop the design and layout of the site.

We may also use the information we collect to occasionally notify you about important functionality changes to the Web site, new eRug.com services, and new offerings, including specific rugs that we believe you may find of interest.  If you would rather not receive this information, send a blank email to unsubscribe@offers.erug.com.  Make sure to send the email from each e-mail address you have left with us.

How does eRug.com protect customer information?

When you place orders or access your account information, we offer the use of a secure server. The secure server software (SSL) encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. Furthermore, all of the customer data we collect is protected against unauthorized access.

What about "cookies"?

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information, but they do enable us to provide certain features such as storing items in your Personal Gallery and your shopping cart between visits. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. Even without a cookie, you can still use most of the features in our store, including placing items in your shopping cart and purchasing them.

Also, eRug.com may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information. eRug.com may release account information when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably necessary to (i) comply with law, (ii) enforce or apply the terms of any of our user agreements or (iii) protect the rights, property or safety of eRug.com, our users, or others.
