What information does CCRC collect and why?

We collect the information you provide when you purchase a gift card/gift certificate, send us an email or call us, enter a contest, participate in a survey or enroll for email alerts. This information may include the following:

  • Your name

  • Your mailing address

  • Your email address

  • Your phone number

  • Your credit card number

It may also include information you submit about other people; for example, the name and address (email and postal) of the gift card/gift certificate recipient. We only use information about other people in order to deliver information, products or services specifically requested by you.

Who does CCRC share information with?

We will share personal customer information with our agents, representatives, affiliated companies and trusted service providers and contractors for limited purposes, including fulfilling customer orders; offering certain products and services in connection with our website; communicating to customers; providing customer service; enhancing and improving consumers’ shopping experiences; enabling access to our partners’ sites; and completing credit card transactions. These third parties are not allowed to use this information for any purpose except those identified in this paragraph.

Aside from the purposes described above, we will never share your personal information with any other third parties unless we have your permission or you have been notified. However, CCRC reserves the right to cooperate with law enforcement agencies and officials in the investigation of alleged unlawful activities of our customers or any third parties related to electronic communications transmitted on our site, in response to a subpoena or other judicial or legal process, or as otherwise required by law. CCRC will have no legal liability for such disclosures.

We may also provide information to other organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. We may share aggregated demographic and statistical information with our other partners. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

How does CCRC handle contest and survey responses?

Periodically, CCRC will invite customers to participate in contests and surveys. The information we collect from these contests and surveys may be associated with individual customer accounts and used by CCRC to improve your overall customer experience. The information will only be shared with third parties in aggregate form and as described above; no individual information will be given to third parties unless we have your prior permission or you have been notified.

What is an IP address and how does CrownCenter.com use it?

An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer when you are using your browser on the Internet. Like most websites, the servers that serve our website automatically identify your computer by its IP address. We do log IP addresses and we use them to monitor things like the number of visitors to our website.

Are my personal messages private when I purchase gift cards from Crown Center?

When you add a personal message to your order, it is securely protected by Crown Center.

Our partners and employees adhere to the strictest standards of confidentiality to protect your privacy.

Your California Privacy Rights

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as S.B. 27, allows individual customers who have provided their personal information to CCRC to request information about our disclosures of certain categories of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Such requests must be submitted to us in one of the following ways: send a letter to CCRC, Attn. Website Coordinator, 2405 Grand Blvd., Ste. 200, Kansas City, MO 64108. Within thirty days of receiving such a request, we will provide a list of the categories of personal information disclosed to third parties for third party direct marketing purposes during the immediately preceding year, along with the names and addresses of these third parties. This request may be made no more than once per calendar year. We reserve our right not to respond to requests submitted to locations other than those specified above.

Does CrownCenter.com ensure the security and privacy practices of other sites to which it links?

While we carefully select the websites to which we link, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these websites. When you provide personal information at one of those sites, you are subject to the privacy policy of the operator of that site, not the CCRC privacy policy. We encourage you to read that policy before submitting any personal information.

How will I know when Crown Center changes its privacy policy?

Our privacy policy is regularly reviewed to make sure we continue to serve the privacy interests of our customers. If our information practices change materially, we will post the policy changes on the privacy page of this website to notify you of these changes. You should check our website periodically for more information on how we use the data we collect.

This information is used to respond directly to your questions or comments. We may also file your comments and share them with our customer care team to improve our service in the future. Your personal information will only be shared with third parties in the event that we need to follow up with specific order-related questions or comments; the third parties will not use your information for promotional or any other purposes.
