Diane's Cakes has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to personal privacy. Diane firmly believes in no-pressure sales while still providing you with the utmost respect and customer service. The following dictates our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website, found at: http://www.dianescakes.com/. This policy is also in effect for any information submitted through this website or directly to Diane. Privacy Like most websites, Diane's Cakes collects two types of information: anonymous information, and personally identifiable information. By "anonymous information", we mean data that can't be linked to specific individuals. We log user hits, visits, and sessions, but only capture information about the visiting user's Internet Service Provider (ISP). This information helps us create a better overall experience for website users. The statistics are complied into website traffic reports, which help us understand, anticipate, and respond to user behavior. If we learn, for example, of heightened interest in wedding cake designs, we may incorporate more design examples or provide additional information on our website about wedding cake designs. Website "Cookies" are not used at all on this website. These are another type of anonymous information. A website cookie is a small text file that a web server can places on a user's computer. When accessing a cookie, a web server reads a number associated with a browser, but is unable to determine any data about a user (nor, for that matter, can the server do anything else with a cookie, malicious or otherwise). With that number, a web server can tailor its information to the needs of the specific browser. Your IP Address We use your IP (Internet Protocol) address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web site. (Your IP address is sent to every website you visit, which is how it sends the information back to you. This is another type of anonymous information collected.) We do not share this information with any third parties. We have no way of connecting your IP address to any personally identifiable information (name, address, etc.) unless you specifically provide that information.

Security This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Diane's Cakes uses a daily backup to ensure the information is saved and correct. All information submitted through the website is encrypted using standard 128-bit SSL encryption. This ensures information cannot be recorded or monitored by a third party while in transit. Again, no information is ever shared with a third party.
