This privacy statement is placed here to demonstrate Nile Valley Herbs, Inc.'s commitment to privacy, and to assure you - our customers - that your privacy is of great concern to us. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this web site, and for all the web sites owned and/or operated by Nile Valley Herbs, Inc.

IP Address:

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our web site.

Information Collection:

We only collect information that you - our customers - provide to us directly, and through the use of cookies as described below. This information may be provided when customers make purchases, make inquiries, or ask for assistance.

Sharing Personal Information with Third Parties:

We will never sell or give away your personal information to third parties for any purpose without your expressed permission. In fact, we normally do not give out or sell any information even with your permission. Our web sites do, however, allow third party advertising, and third party affiliate vendors. These advertisers may collect information on their own as described under cookies in the next paragraph.

Cookies:

Like most other commercial web sites, our web sites utilize a standardized technology often referred to as "cookies," and also employ web server log files to collect information about how our web site is being used. Information gathered through cookies and web server logs allows us to monitor web site traffic, and to personalize the content of the site specifically for you thereby enhancing your user experience.

A cookie is a very small text document that often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a web site, that site's computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you may alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of our site and sites of third party advertisers will not function as effectively when viewed by you, the user. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer viruses.

Business Transition Exception:

In the event that Nile Valley Herbs, Inc. goes through a business transition, such as a merger, or being acquired by another company, users' personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.

Legal Disclaimer:

Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site. In such a case, we have no alternative.
