B. How we use "Cookies" and "Action Tags."
A "cookie" is a small data file sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer. We use cookies to let us know that you are a prior customer, user or Member and to provide certain features to you. Most web browsers allow you to instruct the browser to prevent the use of cookies. However, if you disable this feature, certain aspects of the Services, such as the shopping basket, may not function properly.
We have relationships with third parties who may collect or receive information directly from the cookies placed by our Service on your computer to assist in analyzing our business and customers.
Our Service may also use a common web technology called "action tags" (also called single pixel gifs or web beacons) to track purchase, usage and other web activity information. Action tags may be used to provide data to third parties. In addition, third parties may set their own cookies and tags through our Service (such as through interest-based advertising, described below). We do not control such third parties or their privacy practices. If you do not want third parties to be able to use such methods, you should modify your browser settings to limit such access.

- For Legal Purposes.
In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests from public authorities, including to comply with national security or law enforcement requirements.

How your information is secured
The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once it is received. When handling credit card data, we follow the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). If you have any questions about the security of your personal information, you can contact us at support@carebah.com
If you place an order on our Website, it encrypts the personal information you submit prior to transmission over the Internet using secure socket layer (SSL) encryption technology. SSL is an encryption-based internet security standard that provides an extra layer of security for data that is being transmitted over the Internet.
As a matter of policy, we do not disclose details regarding our security measures as this could be beneficial information to criminals and other bad actors.
Please be advised, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Although we make reasonable efforts to safeguard personal information once we receive it, we cannot warrant the security of information we receive. You should always use appropriate self-protection measures and practice safe browsing on all websites, including, protecting your password and your computers, devices, applications, and account from unauthorized access. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer. For more information on how you can securely shop with us, the National Cybersecurity Alliance also provides comprehensive information to stay safe online.
Portions of the Service (such as our Member registration and Address Book) may require registration and log-in processes in which you will select a user ID and password (collectively, the "Password"). We recommend using a unique password for your Carebah account that is not used for other online accounts. Passwords provided to you by us are the confidential property of the Company and may be used by you solely for your individual use of the Service (and otherwise as specified by us). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any Password and for all activities that occur using your Password, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your Password or accounts.
