Disclosures of Your Information
Your information may be used by Town & Country Markets, and all of its related companies and affiliates. We will not pass your personal data to anyone else, except for any successors to our business and the organizations that process data on our behalf. We may also use and disclose information in the aggregate (so that no individual customers are identified) for marketing programs, advertisers, and partners.

Town & Country Markets may display targeted advertisements based on personal information. Town & Country Markets does not provide any individual personal information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad. Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may, however, assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted ads meet the targeting criteria—for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular geographic area.

We may transfer information about you if Town & Country Markets is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Town & Country Markets will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy by updating this page.

Legal Disclaimer
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Town & Country Markets terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.

Other Websites
Town & Country Markets websites may contain links to other websites which are outside Town & Country Markets’ control and are, therefore, not covered by this Privacy Policy. If you access other websites using the links provided, the operators of these sites may collect information from you which will be used by them in accordance with their privacy policies, which may differ from ours.

Cookies
“Cookies” are small pieces of information sent by a web server to a web browser, which enables the server to collect information from the browser.

Town & Country Markets uses both session ID cookies and/or persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our Site.

Clear Gifs (Web Beacons)
We use clear gifs on our sites from Google Analytics and other third-party vendors. This enables us to gauge the effectiveness of our services and marketing programs.

Security
The security of your personal information is very important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on our order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Once we receive the data it is immediately re-encrypted prior to storage. By default, payment card data is permanently destroyed within 91 days of submission.

Town & Country Markets follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted by you, both during transmission and upon Town & Country Markets’ receipt. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while Town & Country Markets strives to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
