privacy policy

We are committed to respecting your privacy and the security of your personal information. Our privacy policy (as of November 1st, 2008), describes the information we collect and how we use it:

abitare DOES NOT sell, rent or disclose our customer’s names, addresses, email addresses or other personal information. We contract with other companies to provide certain services, including credit card processing, shipping, name and address verification, and email distribution. We provide these companies with only the information they need to perform their services, and work closely with them to ensure that your privacy is respected and protected. These companies are prohibited by contract from using this information for their own marketing purposes or from sharing this information with anyone other than abitare. We do not otherwise disclose your information to third parties, unless required by law or in connection with a legal claim or proceeding.

We also gather information about how visitors navigate through our website by using clickstream data gathered with “cookies” and/or other online tools such as “pixel tags.” For example, we use cookies to remember what items are in your Shopping Cart, recognize you when you return to our Web site, study how our customers navigate through our Web site, and which products you request in site searches. We also use pixel tags - tiny graphic images - to tell us what parts of our Web site you have visited or to measure the effectiveness of any searches you may do on our site. Pixel tags also enable us to send you email in a format you can read and let us know when you have opened an email message from us.
