Personally Identifiable Information We Collect
There are many features on this Web site for which no registration is required. However, if you are interested in obtaining information, products or services from harristsam.com, or in participating in certain activities on this Web site (such as making an online purchase, subscribing to one of our magazines, becoming a member of harristsam.com, making an online donation to harristsam.com, or participating in sweepstakes, contests, surveys, or certain special initiatives), you may need to provide us with information about yourself.

If you are ordering a product as a gift for another person, we will ask you for that person's name, postal address and phone number in order to enable us to deliver the gift to the recipient. If you participate in an activity such as a survey or sweepstakes, we may also ask you to provide other types of information such as gender and personal interests, which we may associate with personally identifiable information. In addition, we may combine personally identifiable information that you have provided to us with other information that is publicly available or that we receive from other reputable sources.

Information Security
The security and confidentiality of your information is extremely important to us, and we take a number of steps to safeguard any personally identifiable information or credit card information that you provide to us. We use data encryption technology to help protect against loss, misuse or alteration of your credit card information. Secure Socket Layers (SSLs) encrypt the credit card information sent between your computer and our database. However, no method of transmitting or storing electronic data is ever completely secure, and therefore we cannot warrant or guarantee that such information will never be accessed, used or released in a manner that is inconsistent with this policy.
