What Personal Information About Customers Does Legal Sea Foods, LLC Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at Legalseafoods.com. Here are the types of information we gather:

- Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our website or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you.

- Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses Legalseafoods.com. 

- E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Legalseafoods.com if your computer supports such capabilities. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your Preferences.

- Information from Other Sources: We might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information.

What About Cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to store items in your Shopping Cart between visits.

The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.

Does Legal Sea Foods, LLC Share the Information It Receives?
We use the personally identifiable information you provide for internal purposes, such as confirming and tracking your order, registration, analyzing trends and statistics, informing you of our new products, services and offers, and providing you with information from and about Legal Sea Foods, LLC. From time to time we might establish a business relationship with other persons or entities whom we believe trustworthy and whom we have asked to confirm that their privacy policies are consistent with ours. In such cases we might share and cross-reference information, including personally identifiable information about you that will enable such persons or entities to contact you regarding products and services that may be of interest to you.

To serve you better, we may combine information you give us online, or through our catalogs. We may also combine that information with publicly available information and information we receive from or cross-reference with others with whom we have established a business relationship. We use that combined information to enhance and personalize your shopping experience with us, to communicate with you about our products and events that may be of interest to you, and for other promotional purposes.

Protection of Legal Sea Foods, LLC and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Legal Sea Foods, LLC, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.

How Secure Is Information About Me?
- We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.
- We transmit your credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.
- It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

What Choices Do I Have?
- As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of features.
- When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records.
- If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your Preferences. (If you do not want to receive legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Notice, those notices will still govern your use of Legalseafoods.com, and it is your responsibility to review them for changes.)
- The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.
