disclose such information only as described below.
YAKIA will send personally identifiable information about you to other companies or people when: 1) we have your consent to share the information; 2) we need to share your information to provide the product or service you have requested; 3) we need to send the information to companies who work on behalf of YAKIA to provide a product or service to you (unless we tell you differently these companies do not have any right to use the personally identifiable information we provide them beyond what is necessary to assist us).
Personally identifiable customer information is shared with third parties (such as banks and credit card processors) to the extent necessary for YAKIA to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, to process payment transactions, and to facilitate order placement and billing.

business. We work to protect the security of your information during
transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts
information you input. We store information gathered on secure computers located
in a locked data center. The number of employees involved in the management of
the data center that have physical access to these computers is limited. We use
firewalls and other security technology to prevent our computers from being
accessed by unauthorized persons.
