Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website transfers to your hard disk for added
functionality or for tracking site usage. We use cookies only to identify repeat

The security of personal information collected via the web site
Deans & Homer has implemented reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized
access to and unlawful interception or processing of personal information that Deans
& Homer stores and controls. However, no website can fully eliminate security
risks. Third parties may circumvent our security measures to unlawfully intercept
or access transmissions or private communications. We will post a reasonably prominent
notice to the web site if we become aware of any such security breach.

Deans & Homer's websites are not directed at children under the age of 13. Consistent
with the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will
never knowingly request personal information from anyone under the age of 13 without
requiring parental consent. Any person who provides their personal information through
the websites represents that they are 13 years of age or older.

the respective privacy policies of these third-party sites. This Privacy Policy
does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other websites.
