How do we use cookies?
Cookies enhance our ability to serve you. Basically, they're pieces of text that a website (in this case, DeSo) stores on your computer – an identification code of sorts. This cookie can be accessed by the web site when you revisit our site.
There are two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies terminate shortly after you terminate your internet session. Persistent cookies are stored on your hard drive until they expire or are deleted. Both types of cookies help provide an enhanced user experience since they recall shopping preferences, shopping cart information, and your password.
We understand that not everyone wants to permit the use of cokies. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting cookies and how to disable cookies, but we recommend that you leave cookies turned on so that you can take full advantage of the shopping features available on our site.
Do visitors need to provide personal information to use our site?
Personal information is not required to access or navigate around the site. However, you will be asked to register and provide personal information if you want to make a purchase. Personal information is also required to request information or assistance from us or to take advantage of certain optional features of our site.
What if a visitor doesn't want to give us personal information over the Internet?
You are free to look for services on our site.
How do we protect our customers' personal information?
All of your personal information is stored on a restricted access server. These servers are maintained from our hosting provider and the servers that store this information are kept in a locked facility with restricted access.
How do we use information about our customers?
We use your personal information to process your orders. This includes for example, contacting you to confirm your order, and fulfilling the order. We may also contact you about your order. Additionally, we will use your contact information to send you news from DeSo or other promotional notices, or to respond to requests for information or assistance from you. We may also use your personal information to improve our service to you and for other business purposes. For example, we periodically review customer information as part of servicing our accounts. We may also contact you from time to time to inform you of the services that we offer and to gather information about how we can improve them.
Finally, we analyze information we obtain from cookies concerning our customers' access and navigation of our site and their browsing and purchasing activities to improve our services and enhance our customers' shopping experiences.
