| Rene Sharon’s Essence of Elegance Online Privacy Statement Effective Date: July 1, 2005 |
|
| Our Commitment to Privacy | |
| Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Our Online Privacy Statement is designed to inform you about our online collection and use of personal information. From time to time, Rene Sharon’s Essence of Elegance (referred to in this policy as "Rene Sharon") may modify this Online Privacy Statement. This online Privacy Statement reflects the Rene Sharon policies covering personal information collected by us, either through this web site, or otherwise, on or after the effective date shown above. The Online Privacy Statement is available on both the homepage of this web site as well as the home page of the shopping cart. From time to time, you may click to other web sites or pages that have different privacy policies. When this happens, you can review those privacy policies that relate to those pages or sites. | |
| The Only Personal Information We Collect Online is that Information You Voluntarily Provide to Us. | |
| The only information we collect about you online is information that you voluntarily provide to us either because you have requested us to process financial transactions for you or because you are seeking information or support from us. We primarily receive personal information as a result of consumers' financial transactions with Rene Sharon or with Rene Sharon business customers. Generally, Rene Sharon does not obtain personal information directly from consumers and we encourage our business customers, who do obtain personal data from consumers, to provide a timely and complete privacy notice. However, when Rene Sharon collects information directly from consumers, we will obtain only the information that is needed to provide our goods or services, to provide customer service and to fulfill any legal or regulatory requirements. When we obtain information about consumers from third parties, we use reputable sources, including public repositories. The information we collect may include, but is not limited to, your name, account numbers, billing and shipping address, or e-mail address, and other bankcard information. If you supply us with personal information on this web site, you will only be contacted so that we can provide you with the service or information you have requested or to occasionally send you other information about Rene Sharon and products or services that we believe you would find interesting. | |
| When You Browse the Rene Sharon Web Site, You Do So Without Revealing Your Identity. | |
| Some Rene Sharon services, such as its shopping cart, use cookies - which are identification files that track your web browsing activity - only to track your user session so that you can leave the Web site and return. This information is erased at the end of your session, except in the case of shopping cart information which is maintained for 3 to 7 days. Personal information, such as your e-mail address, is not collected, unless you provide it to us. Rene Sharon does not disclose domain name or aggregate information to third parties other than vendors who assist us with our web site and who are under strict confidentiality requirements. | |
| We Are Committed to Protecting the Confidentiality of Your Information. | |
| Rene
Sharon policies limit access to personal user information that is collected from this web
site to only those employees of Rene Sharon and its affiliates or contractors who need the
information to complete the transaction or otherwise provide the service to you or fulfill
their business responsibilities, such as credit reporting, verification, and risk
management. We will disclose information in response to
a lawful request issued by a court, government agency or regulatory authority with the
jurisdiction to make that request. Otherwise, we will only disclose information to those
who need to know, as described above, and all communications of your personal data will
either be encrypted at the highest available levels of security or transmitted over a
dedicated, secured lease line. Vendors and other outside contractors we engage are subject
to our contractual requirements to ensure that sensitive personal information is
safeguarded. |
|
| We Strive to Give Consumers Choices About How Their Data Will be Used. | |
| If we obtain personal information as part of a direct relationship with consumers, we will use this information only to provide products and services; to facilitate and complete consumer-initiated or authorized transactions and service requests; to comply with federal, state and local laws, including credit reporting laws and card association rules; to combat fraud or identity theft; or to offer products and services that Rene Sharon believes may be of interest to its customers. In the event that Rene Sharon expands the scope of its marketing efforts such that it would like to disclose personal information to third parties for expanded marketing purposes, we will first give customers an opportunity to opt-out of these types of disclosures. | |
| We Use Appropriate Security Safeguards. | |
| At Rene Sharon, security is a priority. Rene Sharon employs appropriate measures, including advanced technology, to protect personal information collected online against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. These may include, among others, encryption, physical access security, dedicated lines, computer firewalls and other appropriate technologies. Rene Sharon reviews and enhances its security systems as necessary. | |
