Origenere collects two types of information:

By submitting your personally identifiable information on this website you are giving your consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as is explained in this Security & Privacy Policy.
The collection of this information occurs when registering an online account for the purpose of purchasing Origenere services, products, or obtaining information.
Origenere affiliates, and third parties (as described in this Security & Privacy Policy) may use the information that you provide to fulfill your order for a product, information, or other service, respond to an email, or other type of request, to create and deliver newsletters, surveys, and communications regarding product information, product help, product usage, and promotions. For this purpose it is your responsibility to provide us accurate and up-to-date personal information that will be used to fulfill your order for a product, information, or other services.
B - Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This is information by which you cannot be clearly identified. We collect non-personally identifiable information concerning your use of our web sites. For example, which pages are most frequently visited, your web site traffic patterns, and related site information. We use this information to develop and improve our web site and customize the visitors' experience. Non-personally identifiable information gathered is also used for other internal business purposes, such as generating statistics and developing marketing plans. Origenere may share or transfer such non-personally identifiable information with our affiliates, licensees and partners.
Origenere and affiliates only use your name, address, and personal information to mail and email you marketing materials and free sample offers, but only do so with your consent. You may opt out of receiving such material. We do not give your user information, e-mail address, or any other personal information to anyone without your consent.
We do not share your credit card or other account information with unaffiliated third parties unless you authorize us to do so, or if it is necessary to fulfill our responsibilities including, but not limited to, delivering a service or product that you order.
You cannot opt-out of receiving communications from Origenere (or third party affiliated companies or parties who may assist us) in relation to your orders of products or services.
We reserve the right at all times to disclose any information, including personally identifiable information, to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to protect Origenere's rights or property (including without limitation in the event of a transfer of control of a Origenere company, affiliate, or brand, or some or all of its assets), or during emergencies when safety is at risk, or for credit fraud protection and risk reduction purposes.
It is your responsibility not to provide us with any personal information that you do not want us to collect.

We would like to have an ongoing communication with you. For this purpose we would like to email you messages with information about new products, special offers, and other valuable information.

Origenere Security Policy
Origenere provides a safe and secure environment for all of its clients. We have stringent and effective security measures in place on our web site.
We use various safeguards to ensure that your personal information is protected against loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying or alteration. These include: SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), security of our physical premises, security software, firewalls to prevent unauthorized computer access or "hacking", and internal passwords that restrict access to electronic files. There are also privacy protection controls and restrictions on employee access to safeguard your personal information.
All information you provide us in this web site when you set up your account, update your account, enter a contest, shop online, or request information (i.e. name, address, e-mail address, telephone number and credit card information), is maintained in private files on our secure web server and our internal systems.
It is our policy not to send private information, such as your credit card number, via e-mail.
Origenere utilizes an advanced security protocol called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL Internet connections are encrypted and therefore protect personal information so it cannot be read in transit. This ensures secure online ordering.

For example: version 3.0 or higher of Netscape Navigator, and version 3.02 or higher of Internet Explorer. Your will not be able to inadvertently place an order through an unsecured connection.
