Privacy Policy Overview (Effective Date: 01/12/2006)
MexGrocer.com is strongly committed to protecting the privacy
of its customers. We have written this privacy policy to inform you of the specific
information that we collect from you, how we use this information, and what
options you have in sharing this information with us when you visit our site.
Protecting your privacy is a significant part of MexGrocer.com's commitment
to providing you with a high quality shopping experience.
Information
Collection and Use
MexGrocer.com
is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell,
share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed
in this statement. MexGrocer.com collects information from our users at several
different points on our website.
Order
We
request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must provide
contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information
(like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing
purposes and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble processing an order,
this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
MexGrocer does
not process credit card transactions directly; this site is hosted by Yahoo! Store. Yahoo! hosts the store pages, ordering system, and order data. Yahoo! automatically collects order information but may only use this information in the aggregate. If you accessed this store through Yahoo! Shopping, Yahoo! also automatically collects information about your shopping experience. Please see the Yahoo! Privacy Policy for more information about how Yahoo! uses this information.
Corrections/Updating
Personal Information
At
any time, customers of MexGrocer.com can verify that the information we have about
your order is accurate by checking on the status of your order throught the link sent on the confirmation email. If anything is incorrect, please call us or contact us via our customer service form within our HELP section. You will receive an email confirmation with any changes
or corrections you have done to your order.
Cookies
MexGrocer
will store a persistent cookie so that you may retrieve the products in your
shopping cart with no need to go through re-choosing all the categories again.
This website's cookies are not tied to any personally identifiable information.
For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log
in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user
rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is
that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user
will not be able to process through our shopping area. Cookies can also enable
us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience
on our site or track impressions and click throughs on the banners that are served on the Web site without any capture of personal information.
Affiliate
Programs
We
use Commission Junction to run our affiliate programs for advertising
purposes to increase MexGrocer’s brand awareness and the store’s existence to
larger communities of websites. When a company signs up for an Affiliate Program
(apply ONLY to corporations) within the MexGrocer website, the information is
collected and stored by Commission Junction.
The usage of this
cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information. Even though the page has the look and the feel of the mexgrocer website.
Log
Files
We
use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement,
and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are
not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We
will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers.
This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual
person. MexGrocer will share with Univision Online some or all of the personal
data collected (i.e. name, email, order information, etc.) from this site ONLY
for end-users accessing this site through the www.Univision.com
portal, to be used in accordance with Univision's privacy
policy.
We
use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing
company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain,
share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.

This
web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that MexGrocer.com is
not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage
our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements
of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information.

such as name and email address. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Refer-A-Friend
If
a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site,
we ask them for the friend's name and email address. MexGrocer.com will automatically
send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. MexGrocer.com
stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email.
The friend may contact MexGrocer.com at info@mexgrocer.com to request the removal
of this information from their database
Security
This
website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users
submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected
both online and off-line.
When
our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such
as credit card number and/or contact information), that information is encrypted
and is protected with 128 bit encryption software from VeriSign - SSL. While
on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web
browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'. To learn
more about SSL, follow this link VeriSign. All sensitive information is collected through the online store hosted by our third party service provider.
While
we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything
in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information,
not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices.
Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example,
a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable
information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they
leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain
access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on
our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies
are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we
place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers' information
is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information
on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.
If
you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email
to info@mexgrocer.com.
Administrative
Email Communications
You
will receive administrative emails that are related to the primary usage of
our service. You may not opt-out of administrative emails. These administrative
emails will not have any marketing, promotional or advertising material(s) in
them.
Choice/Opt-out
Users
who no longer wish to receive our newsletter may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to “REMOVE” or “Unsubscribe”
in the subject line in the email sent out or email us at info@mexgrocer.com and let us know that you want to
opt-out of further newsletter communications.
Notification
of Changes
If
we decide to change our privacy policy, we will prominently post those changes on our Homepage so our users are always
aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances,
if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected,
we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether
or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information
in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
Our
Guarantee
We
are so confident about the security of our site that we back every purchase
with this guarantee: If using your credit card on our site results in subsequent
unauthorized use of your card, we'll cover your liability up to $50. The unauthorized
use must have resulted from giving your credit card information to MexGrocer.com
- not from fault of your own. Our guarantee applies only if your credit card
information was given to us over the MexGrocer.com secure server.
If
you discover unauthorized use of your credit card, you must notify MexGrocer.com
of the problem in writing (by email or letter) within 24 hours of discovery.
You must also notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting
rules and procedures. We limit our Safe Shopping Guarantee to $50 because your
credit card provider likely will either cover the unauthorized charges altogether,
or limit your liability to $50 or less. Your card user agreement will have the
details.
Legal
Disclaimer
Though
we make every effort to preserve your privacy we may need to disclose personal
information when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action
is necessary in order to conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal
process served on our Web site.
