Privacy Statement
This privacy statement explains the privacy practices for MyDearChild.com, a Tail of the Lion, Inc. subsidiary. This privacy statement only applies to information collected by this web site. It will explain the following things to you:
- What personal information is collected from you through the web site, how this information is used and with whom it may be shared.

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing
We are the only owners of the information collected on this site. The only information that we can access is that which you willingly give to us through email or through other direct contact. This information will not be sold or rented to anyone.
We will use any information that you give to us as a means to respond to you. We will not share this information with any third party, other than is necessary in order to fulfill your request. For instance, we may need to speak to a manufacturer about your shipment and will use your shipping address to do so.
Unless you request that we not do so, we may be in touch with you via email in the future to inform you of specials, new products and services or changes in our privacy policy.
MyDearChild.com uses PayPal to process all credit card transactions. When you purchase an item through us using your credit card, your card information is automatically sent to PayPal. It does not pass through our system at all. Therefore, we do not see or store any of your credit card information. We can not take responsibility for PayPal’s actions; however, we are confident knowing that they are one of the world's largest financial institutions and a leader in Online Privacy Standards.
Orders
When you make a purchase, we request information from you. This information usually includes your contact details (name, shipping address, etc) and your financial details (credit card number, expiration date, etc). We use this information for billing purposes only and to fill your order. In addition, if we are having difficulty processing your order, we will use this information in order to contact you.
Your Access to Information
At any time, you may contact us to learn about the information that we have for you. By calling us or emailing us with the contact information on our website, you may see what data we have about you, correct or change or delete any data that we have on file, and express any concerns you have about how we are using your data. In addition, you may ask us not to be in touch with you in the future and to delete you from our records.
Security
We take special precautions to ensure that your information is protected. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
We use encryption to protect any sensitive information that we receive online. This ensures that information is transmitted to us in a secure way. In addition, we also protect your information offline. No one is granted permission to view your personally identifiable information, unless it is an employee who needs the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service). Any computers or servers that store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
Sharing
We ship using an outside shipping company and we process credit cards using PayPal. These companies do not share, retain, or store personally identifiable information for any purpose other than to fill your order.
Surveys & Contests
Once in a while, our site asks for information from surveys or contests. Your participation is completely voluntary and you may choose whether or not you want to participate and disclose information about yourself. Such requested information could include contact information (name, address, etc), and demographic information (zip code, age, gender). We use the contact information to alert winners and award prizes. Survey information is used to monitor and improve our site.
Cookies
