the privacy of our customers; therefore, Organic Bug does not trade,
sell, rent or share personal information to third parties. Any and all
personal information provided to us by our customers is only used by
Organic Bug to enhance each individual’s shopping experience while
visiting our Website.
Protecting the
information entrusted to us and maintaining the highest level of
personal privacy shall remain our number one priority. The function of
this Privacy Policy is to describe what kinds of personal information we
collect, how we may use and protect that same information, and choices
our customers have regarding their personal information.
Although no
method of internet transmission or electronic storage can guarantee 100%
security, Organic Bug follows the generally accepted industry standards
for protection of personal information. We endeavor to stay current
with the most up-to-date physical, electronic and managerial security
procedures to protect the personal information we collect; however,
Organic Bug cannot guarantee the absolute security of its website.
By visiting OrganicBug.com, you agree to the practices expressed in the current
version of the Privacy Policy. Please review the Privacy Policy upon each visit to this Website to make yourself
familiar with its present terms. Any change to our Privacy Policy is always clearly posted on these pages of our Website
to inform users about what information we collect and how we use it.
Non-Personal Information
This Website automatically collects
non-personally identifiable information from your computer. This
information includes your browser type, domain name, and computer
Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. This is the number automatically
assigned to your computer upon any kind of internet access. We use IP
addresses to monitor the number of visitors including the average time
spent on our Website, analyze user trends, measure marketing
performance, assist in diagnosis of problems or failures on our server,
and to make improvements to our Website.
Organic Bug uses
“cookie” technology to identify you while you use our Website. A cookie
is a non-personally identifiable alphanumeric data file that a site
places on your hard drive to enable it to remember you while you use and
return to a site. Organic Bug uses session ID cookies, which terminate
once you exit or close your browser, to track visits to our Website.
Persistent cookies store non-personally identifiable information about
you on your computer.
Cookies make using a site more convenient. One
example is the use of a cookie to retain the contents of your shopping
cart while you continue to shop. Additionally, cookies are used to
collect cumulative usage information concerning the numbers and
frequency of visitors to individual pages and to a site overall. This
data is generally used to help improve the usability and appearance of
the site.
Should you wish to
remove persistent cookies from your hard drive, you may go to your
internet browser and follow the cookie removal instructions. You may
also set your browser to refuse all cookies or alert you to their
presence. Please note, if you choose to disable cookies through your
