What Information We Collect and How We Use It
|
|
|
|
The information we collect on our Site generally falls into the following two categories: Personally Identifiable Information and Aggregate Information
Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that lets us know specifically who you are. When you register with our Site, we collect Personally Identifiable Information (such as your name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number). We use this information internally to allow participation in contests and other activities or to communicate with our online community about exciting product offers and promotions. We limit the collection of Personally Identifiable Information to that which is reasonably necessary to participate on our Site.
Aggregate Information: This refers to information that does not by itself identify you as a specific individual. Such information would include the Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") of the Web site that referred you to our Site, your Internet Protocol ("IP") address (a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the Web), your operating system and browser type, and any search terms that you enter on our Site. Our Web server aggregates this information in order to monitor the level of activity on our Site, evaluate its effectiveness, and improve the content of our Site in order to make your visit an easy and enjoyable experience.
We may collect, compile, store, publish, promote, report, or otherwise disclose or use any Aggregate Information, provided that such information does not personally identify you. We do not correlate any Personally Identifiable Information with the Aggregate Information that we collect on our Site. If we do correlate any Aggregate Information to you, it will be protected like any other Personally Identifiable Information under this Privacy Statement.

Children's Privacy Protection

IsabellesLighting.com is a general audience site, and we do not knowingly collect information about children 12 and under.

Sharing Your Information
|
|
Except as disclosed in this Privacy Statement, we do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise retransmit any Personally Identifiable Information we collect online unless we have your permission. Personally Identifiable Information you provide to us will be stored in our databases in the United States.
From time to time, we may be required to provide Personally Identifiable Information in response to court order, subpoena, or government investigation. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful. We may release Personally Identifiable Information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to enforce or apply our Terms of Use or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others and ourselves.
IsabellesLighting.com or Isabelle's Lighting Inc. could merge with or be acquired by another business entity, or their respective assets could be acquired. Should such a merger or acquisition occur, you should expect that we would share some or all of your Personally Identifiable Information with companies serving you and other users of our Site.

Your Choices
|
|
Your permission is always secured first. Except as described in this Statement, we will not use or share the Personally Identifiable Information collected on our Site in ways unrelated to the purpose for which you provided the information, including those described above, without providing you a choice whether to permit any such unrelated uses. For kids 12 and younger, permission is obtained from a parent or guardian.

Accessing and Correcting Your Information
|
|
We take reasonable measures to ensure that any Personally Identifiable Information we collect on our Site is accurate, current, complete, and reliable for its intended use. A user may access and review their user Personally Identifiable Information, request to have it deleted, and refuse to allow any further collection or use. To review or change any Personally Identifiable Information provided to us, or to deactivate an account, you may access your Personal Profile online, or contact us via e-mail, phone, or postal mail as described in the "Contact Us" section, below.

Use of Cookies On This Site
|
|
A "cookie" is a small data file transferred to your computer's hard drive that allows a Web site to respond to you as an individual, gathering and remembering information about your preferences in order to tailor its operation to your needs, likes and dislikes. Overall, cookies are safe, as they only identify your computer to customize your Web experience. Accepting a cookie does not provide us access to your computer or any Personally Identifiable Information about you, other than the information you choose to share. Other servers generally cannot read them, nor can they be used to deliver a virus.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually adjust yours (Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) to notify you of cookie placement requests, refuse certain cookies, or decline cookies completely. If you turn off cookies completely, there may be some Web site features that will not be available to you, and some Web pages may not display properly.
To support the personalized features of our Site, we must send a cookie to your computer's hard drive and/or use cookie-based authentication to identify you as a Site user. We do not, however, use so-called "surveillance" cookies that track your activity elsewhere on the Web.
