What Are Cookies?

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide customized features. We use data collection devices such as "cookies" on certain pages of 1st Day School Supplies. "Cookies" are small files placed on your hard drive that assist us in providing customized services. We also offer certain features that are only available through the use of a cookie. Cookies also allow you to enter your password less frequently during a session. Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to use certain features on 1st Day School Supplies and you may be required to reenter your password more frequently.

We might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. For example, we may receive updated delivery and address information from our shippers or other sources so that we can correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily.

Does 1st Day School Supplies Disclose the Information It Receives?

Information about our customers is an important part of our business. We do not sell or license any personally identifiable information about you to any third party. However, the following describes some of the ways that your personally identifiable information may be disclosed.

Product Manufacturers and Affiliate Partners

We may in the future operate stores, provide services, or sell product lines jointly with other manufacturer's or affiliate partners and may share our data, including personally identifiable information about you, with these manufacturer's or affiliate partners when necessary, for example, to complete or ship your order to the correct address.

Agents

We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), and processing credit card payments.. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

Business Transfers

As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy. If 1st Day School Supplies, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.

Legal Disclosures of Your Information

We may disclose information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we believe necessary in connection with an investigation of illegal activity that may expose you or us to legal liability. In addition, if you have purchased products from us on extended payment terms, it may be necessary for us to file certain information about you with state or local government offices to perfect our security interest in the products so purchased, or to provide certain information about you to collection agencies in the event of non-payment or a payment dispute.
