Information We Collect and How We Use It
Bare Feet Shoes collects certain information from and about its
users three ways: directly from our Web Server logs, the user, and with Cookies.

track information to administer the site and analyze its usage. Examples of
information we may track include:
-
Your Internet protocol address.
-
The kind of browser or computer you use.
-
Number of links you click within the site.

b. Use of
Cookies
Bare Feet Shoes may use cookies to personalize
or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed
on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs
or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and
can only be read by a Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to
provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize
a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your
specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process
of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving
your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized
functionality..
Bare Feet Shoes reserves the right to share
aggregated site statistics with partner companies, but does not allow other
companies to place cookies on our website unless there is a temporary,
overriding customer value (such as merging into BareFeetShoes.com a site that
relies on third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline
cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually
modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by
changing your browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of the
functionality on our Website.

Personal Information Users
Visitors to our website can register to
purchase services. When you register, we will request some personal information
such as name, address, email, telephone number or facsimile number, account
number and other relevant information. If you are purchasing a service, we will
request financial information. Any financial information we collect is used
only to bill you for the services you purchased. If you purchase by credit
card, this information may be forwarded to your credit card provider. For other
types of registrations, we will ask for the relevant information. You may also
be asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide
assistance and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in
order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally identifiable
information we collect from you to third parties without your permission except
to the extent necessary including:
§
To fulfill your service requests for services.
§
To protect ourselves from liability,
§
To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
§
In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the
company.
4.
Use of Web Beacons or GIF files
www.BareFeetShoes.com Web pages may contain
electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs
– that allow Bare Feet Shoes to count users who have visited those pages and to
deliver co-branded services. Bare Feet Shoes may include Web beacons in
promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether
messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by
third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our
advertising campaigns or email communications. These Web beacons may be used by
these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer. This
allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit
certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those
page views, which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which
advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use the site.
Bare Feet Shoes prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or access your
personal information.
5.
Accessing Web Account Information
We will provide you with the means to ensure
that personally identifiable information in your web account file is correct and
current. You may review this information by contacting us by sending an email
to our support attendant – customerservice@barefeetshoes.com.

Bare Feet Shoes has the discretion to
occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will also revise the
“updated” date at the top of this Privacy page. We encourage you to

helping to protect the personal information we collect. Your continued use of
