Information We May Place Automatically On Your Computer’s Hard Drive

When you view our Site or advertisements, we may store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a “Cookie” or similar file and will help us in many ways. For example, Cookies allow us to tailor the Site or advertisement to better match your interests and preferences.

Basis of Privacy Policy Principles

Security of Information

Wowwee Design takes reasonable steps to preserve the security of “Cookie” and personal information in accordance with this Site’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. We operate secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection. We have security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your user data under our control. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as totally secure. Accordingly, Wowwee Design strives to protect such information. Wowwee Design 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 take reasonable steps to preserve the security of the information in our systems.

Only certain employees have access to the information you provide us. For example, we impose strict rules on our employees who have access either to the databases that store user information or to the servers that host our services. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not occur we try to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.
