These companies may collect information about your visits to the Website and your interaction with our advertising and other communications, but no personally identifiable information is shared with them.
10. SECURITY
We use SSL technology, the industry standard in transferring information to process your orders. The SSL encrypts, or translates, your order information into a highly indecipherable code, which is processed immediately. All credit card transactions occur in a secure area of the Website to protect you from any loss, misuse or alteration of information collected. When you begin the checkout process, you will move into the secure area of the Website. Once you have entered, the page address (URL) will change from “http” to “https” to let you know you are in a secure area. Also, a key or a closed lock will appear in the lower right hand corner of your screen to notify you of this change. You will remain in this secure zone for the entire checkout process. In addition, it is our policy to never send your credit card number via e-mail. Please note that e-mail is not encrypted and is not considered to be a secure means of transmitting credit card information.
Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, the transmission of data over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we will use every reasonable means to ensure the security of information you transmit through the Website, we cannot guarantee that such information will not be intercepted by third parties. FINNLY'S will, however, prosecute any unauthorized or fraudulent transactions to the fullest extent permitted by law.
11. THIRD PARTY LINKS
While visiting the Website, you may link to websites operated by third parties or you may have come to the Website using a link found in another website. This does not mean that FINNLY's endorses these websites or the goods or services they provide. We do not make any representations or warranties about any website that may be linked to the Website. Such other websites are independent from FINNLY'S, and we have no control over, or responsibility for, their information, products or activities. In addition, FINNLY'S privacy practices may differ from those of these other websites. If you provide personal information at one of those sites, you are subject to the privacy policy of the operator of that website, not FINNLY'S Privacy Policy.
12. PROMOTIONAL EMAILS AND NEWSLETTER
You will receive promotional emails from us only if you have subscribed to them. If you do not want to receive e-mail from FINNLY'S you may click on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email communication sent by us. After cancellation your email will be immediately deleted in our newsletter mailing list.
13. SCAMS
A common Internet scam is known as "spoofing" or "phishing." This occurs when you receive an email from what appears to be a legitimate source requesting personal information from you. Please be aware that FINNLY'S will never send you an email requesting you to verify credit card, bank information, or any other personal information. If you ever receive an email that appears to be from FINNLY'S requesting such information from you, DO NOT respond to it, and DO NOT click on any links appearing in the email. Instead, please forward the email to contact@finnlys.com, so that we can appropriate action and investigate possible Internet fraud.

You also authorise FINNLY'S to disclose information if FINNLY'S believes the disclosure is necessary or appropriate in the event of an investigation of improper or illegal conduct in connection with the Website, such as fraud, misrepresentation, intellectual property infringement, or other activity that may put FINNLY'S at risk for liability.
15. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
