ComicCompany.com knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust in us to do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our Privacy Policy. By visiting ComicCompany.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at ComicCompany.com. Here are the types of information we gather.

• Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you. You provide most such information when you buy, participate in a contest or questionnaire, or communicate with customer service. For example, you provide information when you place an order through ComicCompany.com; communicate with us by phone, , or otherwise; complete a questionnaire or a contest entry form; and other activities. As a result of those actions, you might supply us with such information as your name, address, and phone numbers; credit card information; people to whom purchases have been shipped, including addresses and phone number; content of e-mails to us; and personal descriptions and pictures on our web site.
• Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses ComicCompany.com such as whether you have visited us before. Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; e-mail address; computer and connection information such as browser type and version, purchase history, which we sometimes use to identify top selling products; and the pages you visited or products you viewed on our site.
• Information from other sources: We occasionally receive information from outside sources in order to best serve your needs, but as with all information we receive, we do not sell your information or otherwise use that information to solicit additional business outside of ComicCompany.com. Examples of information we receive from other sources include search term and search result information from some searches conducted through Web search engines; and credit card authorization when charging your purchase. We are not privy to your credit rating or history. Authorizations only apply to a specific transaction.

What About Cookies?

• Cookies are small files that we transfer to your computer through your Web browser to enable our web site to recognize your browser and provide personalized greetings and service.
• The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of ComicCompany.com's coolest features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we only ever share customer information as described below.

• Business Partners and Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. From time to time we may share some information with our business partners as it relates to normal business practices among those partners.  Also, in the unlikely event that ComicCompany.com, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
• Protection of ComicCompany.com and Others: We will release account and other personal information when we believe its release is required to comply with the law or protect the rights, property, or safety of ComicCompany.com, our users, employees or others. This includes exchanging information with law enforcement, or other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. 

How Secure Is Information About Me?

• We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, to encrypt sensitive information you input.
• We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order via e-mail.
• It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your credit card, its number and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
