To ensure your
peace of mind, and let you know exactly how we do business, here's a guide to
our privacy policy:
WHEN I VISIT YOUR WEB SITE, WHAT INFORMATION DO YOU COLLECT ABOUT ME?
At SkipTheMall.com, your privacy and security are two of our highest
priorities. We never collect any personal information about you unless you
request a service that requires it…then, we only ask for the specific
information that is needed to satisfy your request. Any information you do
provide is kept in the strictest confidence. The only profile or demographic
information used is on an aggregate basis in summary reports. (A summary
report, for instance, may state "X people clicked on this or that and
they came from XYZ, etc.")
One of the basic principles we've followed in designing this Web site is
that we ask for only the information we need to provide the service you've
requested.

HOW DOES SKIPTHEMALL.COM KEEP TRACK OF ME AS I MOVE THROUGH YOUR
WEB SITE?
In the original design for the Web, there was no way for a Web site to know
whether one page request was connected to another. For most sites, this is
fine. In an information only site, for example, each article is independent of
the others. Visitors see what they want, then leave.
We may create a cookie -- a small text file stored on your local system in
your cookie folder. This cookie may store a value, or browser ID that we
create. We may then read this when you come back to log that you came back
again. Cookies are harmless but do allow web sites to track you whilst you
visit a particular site. You may already have hundreds of cookies on your
system just from browsing the web.

DOES SKIPTHEMALL.COM USE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small data file that most Web sites write to your computer's
hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as
a user ID, which the site can use to track which pages on the site you've
visited. By themselves, cookies can't be used to identify individuals.
SkipTheMall.com uses cookies to help keep track of your preferences so that we
can tailor your shopping experience to better suit your needs. We also use
cookies to monitor traffic patterns on our site, to let us know whether you've
visited our site in the past, and to determine whether you came to our site
from a particular Internet link or sponsored advertisement. Unless you
specifically tell us, we will never know your identity or how to reach you --
even though we assign a cookie to your computer.
Alliance partners, sponsors and advertisers on our site have the ability to
assign a different cookie to you, a process that we do not control. Still,
since cookies cannot be used to identify you in any way, advertisers will
never know who you are, unless you tell them, and we will never give them your
personal information.

HOW DO I INTERACT WITH SKIPTHEMALL.COM VIA EMAIL?
If you would like us to respond to a question or an issue, please visit the
Contact Us section of this site. You can
email a variety of different departments, based on your question/needs, so we
can contact you according to your preferred method. We will use this
information only to respond to you. We will not store this information in any
structured database, and your message will be kept only in an electronic
folder for future reference.
We read every message that comes to us. We will try to respond within 24-48
hours of its receipt. We never give out your email address to anyone without
your permission. At SkipTheMall.com, we save messages and/or e-mail addresses
from your messages only for a specific reason. We save messages if we think
we'll need to refer to them later when we communicate with you.

DO YOU SELL OR SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT ME WITH OTHER COMPANIES?
No, and we never intend on selling or giving your name or information to
anyone. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
We gather your personal information primarily so we can offer you
compelling and easily accessible content. We use "traffic reports"
(reports about the Web sites that send people to this site) so that we can
choose the best places to reach people who are interested in shopping online.
Companies that place advertisements on our site and our alliance partners'
sites may collect information about you when you view or click on their ads.
These companies have their own policies and practices concerning online
privacy. We recommend that you read all advertisers' and alliance partners'
privacy policies, which are found on their sites.

AM I GOING TO GET A LOT OF JUNK EMAILS WHEN I USE SKIPTHEMALL.COM?
Nope. If you receive any SPAM that indicates it came from SkipTheMall.com, let us know via our
Contact Us feedback section. Too many SPAMMERs freak addresses and pretend to
be from other address. We know that SPAM sucks, is annoying and just doesn't work as an advertising medium.

WHAT IF I HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT MY PRIVACY?
If you have any questions or comments about this Policy or regarding the
use of customer information, you may contact us by email by using the Contact
Us feedback section. We will do our best to respond to your inquiry as
quickly and thoroughly as possible.
