How we protect your information

You may provide on CIANA's website personal information, or in the case of online payments, payment card information. The collection of this information is governed by this privacy policy. The payment card information is transferred with SSL encryption to a third party processor, and that information is not stored by CIANA. Information that you submit through the CIANA website is transmitted to a CIANA server with SSL encryption and is then stored on a password-protected database. We also require that third parties who provide services to us and may have access to customer information (such as the third parties who provide Web site, customer service, data collection, storage and reporting services and mail vendors) share our commitment to maintaining your privacy and adhere to our nondisclosure requirements. We do not under any circumstances sell or rent customer information to any outside company or organization nor do we permit any such organization to use customer information for its own business purposes.

Sharing your information with third parties.

While we do not disclose your personal information to other third parties except in the manner provided in this Policy, we reserve the right to disclose the information if we are compelled to do so to comply with valid legal processes such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order, or a valid administrative request from a law enforcement agency, or in the unlikely situation where we, in good faith, believe such information is necessary to protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of CIANA or the public. We also reserve the right to share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information.

In connection with a merger, acquisition or any form of sale of some or all of the assets of CIANA, your personally identifiable information may be transferred to a third party and may become subject to a different privacy policy. Under these circumstances, we would to the extent possible require the acquiring party to follow the practices described in this privacy policy.
