The cookies and clear gifs that we use do not contain and are not tied to personally identifiable information about you.
We generally use this information to improve our services and the content and function of our web site. We do not share this information with third parties except that our research team may produce research reports and other information and data about online shopping for participating manufacturers, merchants and other customers, as well as other interested parties.

Such information may include your name, address, email address, shopping interests and preferences, transaction history, and other personal data.
We may use this information to customize future shopping and savings opportunities for you, and to communicate with you to deliver information and promotional material about our products, our company and its divisions. You can always choose not to receive email from Racine Federated Inc., or not to have your personal information included in our records.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Examples include sending postal mail and e-mail, analyzing shopper data, and providing other data and services. In such instances, they may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but will be prohibited from disclosing it to others, or using it for other purposes.
Finally, in the event all the assets or all the outstanding shares of stock of Racine Federated Inc., or of any of its divisions or subsidiaries are acquired by another company or business, our customer records, including your personal information in our records, would be one of the significant and valuable transferred assets.
SECURITY
We are committed to handling your personal information and your credit card information with high standards of information security.
1. Your Personal Information
We use appropriate security safeguards to protect your personal information in our paper files as well as electronic records. Our facility uses intrusion detection technology and procedures to prohibit unauthorized entry to the building, and to the rooms where customer files are stored. Access to your personal information is only given to employees whose job responsibilities require it, and terminated employees are immediately prevented from further access. Our computer network uses secure user authentication protocols and secure access control measures. We employ up to date firewall protection and operating system security patches, and we use system security agent software that includes malware protection with up-to-date patches and virus definitions. Any personal information that leaves our facility in portable devices or back-up tapes is encrypted.
2. Your credit card information
We do not store your credit card account number in our records. We work to protect the security of your information during transmission to your bank or credit card company by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. We also use a secure server hosting location, firewall protection, controlled access and encryption technology to protect your data. We test our security systems regularly, and contract with outside companies to audit our systems and processes.
The security of your account also relies on your protection of your password, which should never be shared with anyone. If you do share your password with a third party for any reason, including because the third party has promised to provide you additional services such as account aggregation, the third party will have access to your account and your personal information, and you may be responsible for actions taken using your password. If you believe someone else has obtained access to your password, please change it immediately by logging in to your account and changing your settings, and also contact us right away as described below.
While no system is completely foolproof, we take the security of your personal information very seriously, and our security measures are designed to protect that information in a responsible manner. If we find that your personal information in our records has been accessed by any unauthorized person, we will promptly notify you of this breach by email and by first class mail.
