Thank you for visiting shopmadambutterfly.com. Madam Butterfly is committed to protecting your privacy.

What our Privacy Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy covers any personal information that Madam Butterfly obtains from you when you use services on our site. This policy does not cover the practices of companies that Madam Butterfly does not own or control, or the actions of people that Madam Butterfly does not employ or manage.

Our Privacy Policy may change in the future. We invite you to check back periodically to see if we have made any changes. If we make any material changes, we will post a notice on our home page.

By using this site, you agree to the terms of our policy and we commit to abide by all relevant personal data privacy laws.

What Personal Information is Collected
Depending on how you use Madam Butterfly, we may ask you to share personal information with us.  Whether you choose to give Madam Butterfly your information is completely up to you, but keep in mind that if you withhold critical information required to process your order, you may not be able to use some of our services.

When Personal Information is Collected
Madam Butterfly will ask you for information, including some personal information, if you use one of several services:

• Becoming a registered user. In order to register, you need to share some personal information, such as your name and e-mail address. You do not have to be a registered user to visit shopmadambutterfly.com web pages. But, you will have to register if you want to place orders or make full use of our services.
•  Making a purchase. When you buy something on shopmadambutterfly.com, you have to supply a billing address, phone number, shipping address, and credit card information. By making a purchase, you become a registered user of shopmadambutterfly.com. You can choose to have us store information needed to make a purchase, such as your shipping and billing addresses, and telephone numbers. We will not, however, store credit card numbers.

How Madam Butterfly Protects Your Information
We realize that our customers trust us to protect their personal information. We take that task very seriously. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information. For example:

We use industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") authentication to guarantee the confidentiality of online transactions made on our site. SSL authentication and encryption of the information that you send to us over the Internet help protect your online transaction information from third party interception.

• We never display your full credit card number once it has been entered. We will only reveal the last four digits of your credit card for verification purposes.
• We do not store your credit card information for future transactions with us. Once your sale has been completed and payment has been processed, we delete all credit card information from our system.
• We urge you to protect your own privacy. We recommend that you do not share your password with anyone or share your password in an unsolicited phone call or e-mail.

Unfortunately, despite all of our efforts, there is always a risk that third parties may unlawfully intercept transmissions. This reality is true of all Internet use. As a result, we cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit, and you transmit all information at your own risk.

How Madam Butterfly Uses Your Personal Information
Madam Butterfly collects personal information primarily to make our services more rewarding for you to use. We usually use this information for internal purposes, such as studying our customers' preferences. We may also use your information to contact you for account and promotional purposes.

Who Views Your Personal Information
Madam Butterfly will only share your personal information with companies that perform services for us, such as fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mails, analyzing customer data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and investigating fraudulent activity. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not disclose your personally identifiable information for other purposes.

Personal information may be disclosed if required by law.

Madam Butterfly does not currently sell or license personal information. Before selling or licensing your personal information, we will post a notice in this Privacy Policy and on our home page.

At this time, Madam Butterfly does not share any personal information with anyone who is not an employee of Madam Butterfly. It is highly unlikely, yet possible, that this policy will change in the future. If we do decide to share information with anyone not affiliated with Madam Butterfly, we will notify you in advance, and we will post a notice in this Privacy Policy and on our home page.

Making a Purchase
When you buy something on shopmadambutterfly.com, you have to supply a billing address, phone number, shipping address, and credit card information. By making a purchase, you become a registered user of shopmadambutterfly.com. We do not maintain your personal details unless you authorize us to do so. In which case, we will maintain your name, address and telephone numbers only.

Children Under 13
You can look at our site, but you cannot make a purchase. You also cannot become a registered user, or use any service that asks for personal information. Our site is not designed for children. We do not wish to collect personal information from children under 13.

This policy is designed to protect children. Federal law requires us to take special steps to safeguard children's privacy.

If you try to purchase from us and we discover that you are under 13, we will delete your order. We will send you a message if we do this. If you are under 13 and want to make a purchase, please ask a parent to place the order for you.
