Privacy Policy and Terms of Use

Privacy

Deerfield Academy respects your privacy and we will do our best to keep the trust you expect from us. The Trustees of Deerfield Academy have not, do not and will never sell or disclose your identity or personal information to any third party. All information gathered through the Deerfield Academy Online Store is strictly guarded for use related to the Deerfield Academy Online Store.

Collecting Information

You may choose to provide certain personal information to the Deerfield Academy Online Store through this site. This "personal information" may include your name, address(es), telephone number(s), email address and credit card information. This information is used to fulfill your orders, to provide customer support and to communicate with you.

We may occasionally send you an email with information on new products or upcoming events. Of course you can let us know at any time that you no longer wish to receive email from us.

When you create an account on our website, certain information will be collected in small files called "cookies". These files identify your browser and save information such as passwords so that web sites can recognize you on subsequent visits. You can set your browser to disable cookies, but some portions of this site (and other sites) may not work properly if you do this.

Security

The Deerfield Academy Online Store uses the most sophisticated technology to encrypt the information we transmit and store. We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to accomplish this.

Once you enter the checkout page of the site your computer will begin communicating with our server in secure mode. You can tell that you are in secure mode by the following:

The "http" in the web address will be replaced by "https", indicating that you've reached a secure area of the website.
Depending on the browser, you will see either a padlock or a solid key in the lower section of the browser window or in the address bar.
Only browsers that use the Secure Socket Layer protocol are able to order through the Deerfield Academy Online Store website. If your browser does not support SSL, you can get an upgrade at your browser's home page.

Please be advised that the rare instance of a link to an outside site from the Deerfield Academy Online Store will be governed by that site's policies.
