IP
ADDRESS
When you visit the Site, we
may automatically collect your IP address like most e-commerce
websites and the web page from which you came. In order to administer
and optimize the Site for you and to diagnose problems with our Site,
we use your IP address to help identify you and to gather broad
demographic information about you.
COOKIES
The Site may use cookies to
keep track of your activity on the Site to
enhance your experience on the Site. We may also use cookies to
deliver content specific to your interests, to save your password, and
if you choose, may be to save other personal and financial information so you
do not have to re-enter it each time you visit the Site. If you wish to disable cookies, the "help" portion of
the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how. However, if you set
your browser to disable cookies, you may not be able to access certain
areas on the Site.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM YOU
In order to operate the
Site and to provide you with information about products or services
that may be of interest to you, we may collect "personal information"
(i.e. information that could be used to contact you directly (without
using the Site) such as full name, postal address, phone number or
email address), "financial information" (i.e. banker details) or "demographic information" (i.e. information that you
submit, or that we collect, that is neither personal information nor
financial information; this may include, but is not limited to,
postcode, hometown, gender, username, age/birth date, purchase history
information, browsing history information, searching history
information, registration history information, and the content of
communications), subject
to the rest of this paragraph. Demographic information is divided into
two categories:
| I. |
"Non-public information", which consists of
purchase history information; and |
| II. |
"Public information", which consists of all other
demographic information." Please note
that nowhere on the Site do we knowingly collect personal information
from children under the age of 18, as we require that all users
represent to us that they are at least 18 years old. |
HOW WE
USE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use your email address
and your other personal information to help us efficiently operate the
Site, to contact you in connection with your transactions and other
activities on the Site (including, but not limited to, confirmation
emails or important news that could affect your relationship with us). These types of
communications are known as "Operational Communications." In some
cases, Operational Communications may also contain commercial
messages, such as banner ads and special offers.
We also use personal information to send you newsletters, information,
offers and other promotional materials for our or third party goods or
services. We attempt to send you offers that are of value to you, such
as discounts, exclusive offers or special event information.
To operate the Site, including processing your transactions and
supporting your activities on the Site, we may share your personal
information with our agents, representatives, contractors and service
providers so they can provide us with support services such as
authorisation of credit card transactions, email origination, receipt
or support services, customer relationship management services, order
fulfilment and sweepstakes and promotional fulfilment. We require
these entities not to use your information for any other purpose.
By purchasing, or registering or making reservations for, products or
services offered or sponsored by third parties on the Site, or
electing to receive communications (such as emails or magazine
subscriptions) or electing to participate in contests, sweepstakes or
other programs (such as discount or rewards programs), offered or
sponsored by third parties on the Site, you consent to our providing
your personal information to those third parties. Those third parties
may use your personal information in accordance with their own privacy
policies. You will need to contact those third parties to instruct
them directly regarding your preferences for the use of your personal
information by them. Additionally, you agree that we may use and
disclose all such information so submitted to such third parties in
the same manner in which we are entitled to use and disclose any other
information you submit to us.
Any third party with whom we are allowed to share your personal
information is authorized to use your personal information in
accordance with our contractual arrangements with such third parties
and in accordance with their own privacy policies, over which we have
no control, and you agree that we are not responsible or liable for
any of their actions or omissions. Those who contact you will need to
be instructed directly by you regarding your preferences for the use
of your personal information by them. Please read the information
below under the heading "Special Cases in which we Share Personal and
Financial Information" to learn more ways in which we may share your
personal information.
HOW WE
USE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We use your financial
information to check your qualifications, to bill you for products and
services and to enable you to participate in discount, rebate and
similar programs in which you may elect to participate. By making a
purchase, or engaging in any other kind of activity or transaction
that uses financial information, on or off the Site, you consent to our
providing your financial information to our service providers and to
such third parties as we determine are necessary to support and
process your activities and transactions, as well as to your credit
card issuer for their purposes. These third parties may include the
credit card companies and banking institutions used to process and
support the transaction or activity. By purchasing, or registering or
making reservations for, products or services of third parties offered
on the Site, or by participating in programs offered on the Site that
are administered by third parties and that require you to submit
financial information in order to use them, you also consent to our
providing your financial information to those third parties. Any of
these various third parties may be authorized to use your financial
information in accordance with our contractual arrangements with such
third parties and in accordance with their own privacy policies, over
which we have no control, and you agree that we are not responsible or
liable for any of their actions or omissions. Additionally, you agree
that we may use and disclose all such information so submitted to such
third parties in the same manner in which we are entitled to use and
disclose any other information that you submit to us. Please read the
information below under the heading "Special Cases in which we Share
Personal and Financial Information" to learn more ways in which we may
share your financial information.
SPECIAL
CASES IN WHICH WE SHARE PERSONAL AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Your personal information
or financial information may be passed on to a third party in the
event of a transfer of ownership or assets, or a bankruptcy. We may
also disclose personal information or financial information when we
determine that such disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable
law, to cooperate with law enforcement or to protect the interests or
safety of the Company or other visitors/customers on or off the Site. We also may
disclose your personal information or financial information to our
subsidiary companies and businesses, and other affiliated
legal entities and businesses with whom we are under common corporate
control. Whenever personal information or financial information is
disclosed under this paragraph, we may also disclose your demographic
information along with it, on a non-anonymous basis. All of our
subsidiary and affiliated legal entities and businesses that
receive your personal information, financial information, or
non-anonymous demographic information from us will comply with the
terms of this privacy policy with respect to their use and disclosure
of such information.
HOW WE
USE PUBLIC INFORMATION AND OTHER DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
We may review all
demographic information. We may use demographic information to
tailor the Site and communications to your interests. We may also
share demographic information with advertisers on an anonymous and
aggregated basis (i.e., without telling the advertisers your
identity). One of the reasons we may do this is to increase the
likelihood that our advertisers’ goods and services will appeal to our
users, so that we may target specific ads at specific demographic
groups. Our sharing of demographic information with advertisers is
anonymous (i.e., we do not tell advertisers which particular Site
users are members of which demographic groups), subject to the rest of
this privacy policy. When you respond to an advertisement, however, we
ask you to remember that if that ad that is targeted to a demographic
group and you decide to give the advertiser your personal information,
then the advertiser may be able to identify you as being a member of
that demographic group. Please also be aware that we may disclose your
demographic information on a non-anonymous basis as described above in
the paragraph titled "Special Cases in which we Share Personal and
Financial Information." Also, to read further details about how we may
use your public information.
OUR
SECURITY PRECAUTIONS
The Site has
security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and
alteration of the information under our control. Our secure server
software (SSL)
is the industry standard and among the best software available today
for secure commerce transactions. We encrypt all of your personal and
financial information as it travels over the Internet. Your
information may be transferred to and maintained on computer networks
which may be located outside of the state, province, country or other
governmental jurisdiction in which you reside, and the country or
jurisdiction in which these computer networks are located may not have
privacy laws as protective as the laws in your country or
jurisdiction.
CHANGING
OUR PRIVACY POLICY FOR PREVIOUSLY GATHERED INFORMATION
If at any point we decide
to use particular personally identifiable information in a manner
different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will
notify users by way of an email or by providing 30 days notice on the
Site. Please note that we will continue to have the right to change
our privacy policy and practices, and how we use your personally
identifiable information, without notice, as described in the first
paragraph of this Privacy Policy, provided that such changes shall
only apply to information gathered on or after the date of the change.
HOW YOU
CAN ACCESS AND UPDATE YOUR EMAIL PREFERENCES, PERSONAL INFORMATION AND
PUBLIC INFORMATION
We give you
the opportunity to opt-out of certain communications and modify
personal information or demographic information you have provided to
us at anytime by going to the provided in the email. Please note that changing or
deleting your information through the link, or otherwise opting-out of receipt of email communications from
us, will only change or delete the data in our database for purposes
