Our Use of Cookies

Many web sites now use "cookies" to provide useful features to their visitors by providing customizable and personalized services.

A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. For example, a web site may use cookies to store and sometimes track information about you, your preferences, or the pages you last visited.

Your browser software can be set to reject all cookies, or to ask you if you would like to accept or decline a cookie from a particular site before it is set. Most browsers offer instructions on how to reset the browser to reject cookies in the Help section of the toolbar. You should know, however, that if you reject a cookie, certain functions and conveniences of a site may not work properly.

We use cookies on our web site to record session information, so that when using the shopping cart you can be uniquely identified. The contents of the shopping cart are not stored in the cookie, just an encrypted identifier.

This unique identifier can not be linked to your personal information.

Registration for Access

Visitors can use this web site anonymously, without registration. There is a 'Members-only' section to this web-site that requires the user to be a member of the Seattle Knights stage combat troupe. To become a member, see our Academy!

Our Children's Privacy Policy

We are especially concerned about protecting children's privacy. We hope parents and teachers are involved in children's Internet explorations. It is particularly important for parents to guide their children when children are asked to provide personal information on line.

Our site does not feature information and services of interest to children 13 and under.

Interactive Services and Tools

This site does not use interactive tools that ask you for identifying personal information.

Security of Communications

We recognize that many people are concerned about the privacy and protection of information as it is transmitted over the Internet. You should keep in mind that the possibility exists for unauthorized individuals to intercept any e-mail message you send over the Internet. In some cases, information can be encrypted (scrambled or encoded) to make it very difficult to read if it is intercepted during communication. Certain technology and practices allow web sites to provide an increased level of security for your personal information when appropriate.

We use the following practices on our web site to enhance the level of security for communication and the transmission of personal information:

• We always use industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving consumer data exchanged with our site.
• We have taken reasonable steps to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of personally identifiable information that you may provide.
• We use e-mail forms to allow our customers to ask questions about our services and programs. These are hosted on a secure server. However, the possibility exists that unauthorized individuals may intercept e-mail messages.

E-Commerce, Online Donations, and Online Shopping

Purchasing items or making donations over the Internet usually requires you to provide your personal identifying information and credit card information on a web site. Many people have become accustomed to on-line commerce as a time-saving and useful convenience. There are a number of practices that can make providing your sensitive credit card information more secure and therefore make you feel more comfortable about doing so.

We do not process credit card payments for donations, merchandise, or services on our web site. All e-Commerce transactions take place in the PayPal system, in a secure site as per their privacy policy.

This site does have catalog and shopping cart system. We have the following practices:

• When this service is offered on this site and you purchase products and services from us, we will request that you provide your name, e-mail address, phone number and shipping addresses.
• We will keep this information in the strictest confidence and will make every effort to maintain the privacy and security of the information at all times.

Advertising Servers

At this time, we do not partner with or have special relationships with any advertising server companies.

Links to Other Sites

Web sites often provide a number of links that offer direct access to other useful or interesting web sites holding potential value to site visitors. Inclusion of the other sites by links does not imply any endorsement of the material or information on the other sites. Users are encouraged to review the privacy policy of each linked site before sharing personal information.

This site includes links to non-affiliated external web sites. We encourage users to review the privacy policy of each linked site, as we cannot be responsible for the privacy practices of other sites.

Changes in Our Privacy Policy

From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. If our information practices change at some time in the future, we will use only data collected from the time of the policy change forward.
