This web site (this “Web Site”) is provided by AlbertsGifts.com (“AlbertsGifts.com”), a division of American International Manufacturers (the “Company”) 3001 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15201-1520, USA. Protecting your privacy is important to us. We hope the following Privacy Policy will help you understand how AlbertsGifts.com collects, uses and safeguards the personal information you provide to us on our website. Security
Our policy is to protect you and your information. Accordingly, AlbertsGifts.com permits confidential transactions only using a "secure session" using Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) encryption technology. For additional information about SSL, and how it is used to maintain the confidentiality of personal data transmissions over the Internet, please read Security FAQs. Information Collected
It is important to note that there are different types of information: a) your private information, such as name, birthday, and credit card number (your “Private Information”) and b) information regarding your personal use of the Website, such as how you arrived at the Website, what you click, what you purchase (your “Statistical Use Information”). Collectively, Private Information and Statistical Use Information are referred to as “Confidential Information”.

The type of information to which this Privacy Policy relates is the type of information that is directly related to your personal account. All other information is outside the scope of this Privacy Policy, as is anything not expressly addressed herein. For example, AlbertsGifts.com, like most sales-based enterprises, will generate reports that indicate that it sold 100 widgets on a certain day. This is done in the ordinary course of business. This type of information collection is traditional business reporting and is completely outside the scope of this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy relates to the type of information that can be, in the wrong hands, somewhat invasive; that is, that AlbertsGifts.com can track, using computer technology, the nature of your personal purchases for the purpose of directly marketing to you based upon your use of the website.
