We respect the privacy of everyone who visit our site!

This privacy statement provides notice of the standards and terms under which Joy of Raphael protects the privacy of information supplied by visitors to sites on the World Wide Web that are operated by Joy of Raphael. This privacy statement provides notice of our information collection practices and of the ways in which your information may be used. This policy may change from time to time, so please check back periodically to review this information. What information does Joy of Raphael collect and how is it used?

A. Personally-Identifiable Information: Joy of Raphael typically receives specific data about its website visitors only when such information is provided voluntarily, such as when our visitors request information, purchase or enroll for services, provide resume information for employment opportunities, or send us e-mail. Of course, some of these activities require that you give us information, such as when you make a purchase, use a credit card to pay for services, submit your resume, or request certain types of information. When you provide personally-identifiable information to Joy of Raphael through one of our websites, it will be used to fulfill your specific request. In most cases, you will be given the opportunity to select whether you do, or do not, want Joy of Raphael to use this information for additional purposes. You may also request that Joy of Raphael not use your information by sending an e-mail to privacy@JoyofRaphael.com, however, Joy of Raphael reserves the right, in its discretion, to send you bulletins and other important information about your Joy of Raphael services. Absent any instructions from you, Joy of Raphael may use information you provide to inform you about additional services and products offered by the Joy of Raphael family of companies, Joy of Raphael authorized agents, and other goods and services providers with whom Joy of Raphael has relationships and whose offerings might be of interest to you. Joy of Raphael will not, however, sell or trade your personally-identifiable information unless we are authorized or legally required to do so, or in the case of imminent physical harm to the visitor or others. On those Joy of Raphael sites where you may provide Joy of Raphael with credit card or other ordering information via the web, Joy of Raphael protects and secures this information by employing commercially customary web-based security and encryption protocols, examples of which include Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Secure Electronic Transaction (SET). On those sites where you voluntarily offer any feedback, data, answers, questions, comments, suggestions, ideas or the like, Joy of Raphael will treat that portion of the information as non-confidential and non-proprietary and, except as otherwise expressed in this privacy statement, Joy of Raphael assumes no obligation to protect such information from disclosure.

B. Non Personally-Identifiable (Generic) Information: In general, Joy of Raphael gathers some generic information automatically. Generic information does NOT reveal the identity of the visitor. It usually includes information about the Internet address assigned to your computer, the number and frequency of visitors, and the Joy of Raphael sites visited. Joy of Raphael gathers this information for the limited purpose of determining customer service and website needs. We accomplish this by using certain technologies, including "cookies" (a technology that can be used to provide the visitor with tailored information about Joy of Raphael services). Joy of Raphael does not combine information collected in this way with any personally-identifiable information. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie and you can refuse it.

C. Your Joy of Raphael Hosted Website, Bulletin Boards, Chat Rooms and Third-Party Sites: Information that you disclose in a public space, including on any bulletin board, chat room, or website Joy of Raphael may host for you as part of your Joy of Raphael services, is available to anyone else who visits that space. Joy of Raphael cannot safeguard any information you disclose in these locations. Additionally, Joy of Raphael websites contain links to sites that belong to third parties unrelated to Joy of Raphael. Joy of Raphael cannot protect any information you may disclose in these sites and recommends that you review the privacy policy statements of those sites you visit.

D. Exceptions and Limitations: Notwithstanding the foregoing and in compliance with applicable laws, Joy of Raphael (i) cooperates fully with state, local, and federal officials in any investigation relating to any content (including personal or private electronic communications transmitted to Joy of Raphael) or purported unlawful activities of any user of the Service, and (ii) takes reasonable measures to protect its proprietary rights.

In addition, Joy of Raphael may elect to monitor the areas of communication of any kind (i) to satisfy any law, regulation, or government request; (ii) if such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to operate Joy of Raphael; or (iii) to protect the rights or property of Joy of Raphael or others. Joy of Raphael reserves the right to sell or transfer your information (including , but not limited to name, address information, and other information you provided to Joy of Raphael) to a third party that (i) concentrates its business in communication products or services; (ii) agrees to be Joy of Raphael's successor in interest with regard to the maintenance and protection of information collected and maintained by Joy of Raphael; and (iii) agrees to the obligations of this policy statement.
