Your privacy is very important to us. We want to make your experience on the internet as enjoyable and rewarding as possible, and we want you to use the internet's vast array of information, tools, and opportunities with complete confidence.

We have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy and security. This Privacy Policy describes how Costume Circus collects information from all end users of Costume Circus's internet services (the "Services") -- those who access some of our Services but do not make a purchase ("Visitors") as well as those who make a purchase ("Customers") -- what we do with the information we collect, and the choices Visitors and Customers have concerning the collection and use of such information. Costume Circus requests that you read this Privacy Policy carefully.

Introduction
Costume Circus collects information in different ways from Visitors and Customers who access the various parts of our Services. We use this information primarily to provide a customized experience as you use our Services and, generally, do not share this information with third parties. However, we may disclose personal information collected if we have received your permission beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as when we believe that such disclosure is required by law or other special cases described below.

Data Security
The information you provide--including credit card information--is secured using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology. We use this SSL technology to prevent such information from being intercepted and read as it is transmitted over the Internet. The encrypted data goes to a secure site where your information is stored on restricted-access computers located at restricted-access sites. While we make every effort to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party "hackers" from illegally obtaining this information. As an added measure we use "HackerSafe" by McAfee. to protect us against these attacks. Using Moneris Solutions as an online payment gateway we can safely and easily accept Visa and Mastercard payments. Moneris Solutions® is one of the largest payment processors in North America.

Responses to Email Inquiries
When Visitors or Customers send email inquiries to Costume Circus, the return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we receive. Costume Circus does not use the return email address for any other purpose and does not share the return email address with any third party.

Address Information at Checkout
We do not give out your address information to any third party after you checkout, but will send you email or post mail flyers that alert you to up and coming promotions and coupon discounts.

Special Cases
It is the policy of Costume Circus not to use or share the personal information about Visitors or Customers in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to prohibit such unrelated uses.
