How Do We Use the Information We Collect?
When you sign up at Tickle Me Beads, we ask you to fill out a form that requests your name, address and e-mail address as well as some demographic information such as gender and date of birth. Tickle Me Beads will NOT share data with anyone. Your name and address information is used solely to process orders. Your information will NEVER be sold, given, rented or traded. Only information necessary to complete a purchase transaction is used, and it is only used to fulfill your order.
Your demographic information (gender, date of birth, etc.) will be only be used for several security purposes, to ensure you are who you say you are and in fact you are paying with your credit cards and not someone using your stolen credit cards.

We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site.
