1. What personally identifiable information is collected
from you;
What personally identifiable information does Tri-State Antiques collect from me?(top) Tri-State Antiques collects information in several ways from different parts of our network of web sites. Some personal information is gathered when you register for one of our Newsletters. During registration, Tri-State Antiques asks for your name, email address, birth date, gender, geographical location. This is for demographical information only and for our use in personalizing our site to conform to our customers' needs. Your email address will remain private and not given or sold to any third parties; it is strictly there for us to be able to email you the Newsletter you have subscribed to. You may choose to opt-out at any time by simply emailing us. The service we offer for update notifications is provided by us and is completely private and secure. It is stored in our in-house database and is not accessible by any other parties. In addition to our Newsletter subscription, we may ask you for personal information at other times, such as when you make a purchase using our Virtual Cart Shopping service. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
What are cookies and how does Tri-State Antiques use them?(top) As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized services, Tri-State Antiques uses cookies to store and sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. The only area where we presently use cookies is for our Shopping Cart service in order to track your purchases allowing you to leave the site and return without losing your purchase information. (See "What are my choices regarding collection, use and distribution of my information?" for more information on cookies.)
Tri-State Antiques' primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you, the user, with a customized experience on our network of sites. This includes online shopping and many other types of services which are completely free to you.
When you are on a Tri-State Antiques site and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with Tri-State Antiques alone. Please be aware that web sites that have links listed on our Links Directory or banners advertised on our pages may collect personally identifiable information about you. The information practices of those web sites linked to Tri-State Antiques are not covered by this privacy statement.
As a general rule, Tri-State Antiques will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below. The following describes some of the ways that your information may be disclosed. Other: Tri-State Antiques may also disclose account information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating Tri-State Antiques' policies or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Tri-State Antiques' rights or property, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Tri-State Antiques may disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.
On some of our pages, we offer update notifications that will ask for your email address in order to send you notices when the page you indicate is updated. This is a private service that we offer and your information is kept strictly confidential and is for our use only. NO ONE else has access to this database. You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies.

Keeping your personal financial information private is vitally important to us. As with all information, Tri-State Antiques will never rent or sell your personal financial information. Knowing that you use certain services or features may help us to offer you better and more relevant content and advertisements. But as with all personally identifiable information, we do not make this available to any third parties without your permission. Please note that there are several places on the Tri-State Antiques network of web sites where you can transmit credit card information in order to complete a purchase transaction. Any time we ask for a credit card number we transmit that credit card number in an encrypted format through our own secure server. In seven years of doing business on the net, we have not had one case of any of our orders being intercepted.
As a global company Tri-State Antiques has international sites and users all over the world. When you give Tri-State Antiques personal information, that information may be sent electronically to servers outside of the country where you originally entered the information, such as to the United States or other countries. In addition, that information may be used, stored and processed outside of the country where you entered that information. Whenever Tri-State Antiques handles personal information as described above, regardless of where this occurs, Tri-State Antiques takes steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Tri-State Antiques cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
Our site provides users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from us. The following links allow you to remove your information from our database to not receive future communications or to no longer receive our service.
