Last Updated and Effective as of: October 19, 2018
Christine Valmy, Inc. (“Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) understands that privacy is important to our users. This document (Privacy Policy) governs the privacy practices regarding information collection and usage of our Website located at www.christinevalmy.com (Website). This Privacy Policy does not apply to any other websites, apps or services provided by us, our affiliates, partners or clients, unless it appears on such website, app or service.
BY USING OR ACCESSING THE WEBSITE, YOU SIGNIFY YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY OUR PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE THE WEBSITE.
Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Our Privacy Policy tells you what PII we may collect from you, how we may share your PII, and how you can limit our sharing of your PII.
We are committed to the security and privacy of all our customers. We take your privacy seriously, and we will work with you to ensure that you have an enjoyable online experience.
We respect your privacy and recognize the need for appropriate protection and management of your PII you share with us.
Information We Collect
Generally, you control the amount and type of personally identifiable information (PII) you provide to us when using our Website. As a visitor to our Website, you can browse our Website to find out more about us. You are not required to provide us with any PII as a visitor. However, if you register as a Member to use our Website, you must provide PII in order for us to provide you with various features and/or functionality from our Website.
As a Member, we collect your PII in the following ways:
- Member registration – When you register for membership, we collect your name, email address, and other information listed.
- Online forms – There may be online forms used in our Website. The information you enter into these online forms may contain PII.
When you visit or use the Website, we may automatically collect certain non-personally identifying information (NPI) about you, such as the type of browser or device operating system you use, the domain name of the website from which you linked to us, the amount of time you spend on the Website and the pages on the Website that you view. We may also aggregate information collected from our users (such as the number of users in a particular region or having particular characteristics).
Computer Information Collected; Interest Based Advertising
We may ourselves, or with third party vendors, use NPI in connection with our own or vendor information to deliver targeted advertising to you when you visit other websites or our services. Cookies, clickstream data, and other similar technologies described below may be used in this process. For example, if you are searching for information on a particular product, we or our vendor may cause an advertisement to appear on other websites you view with information on that product. This form of advertising, sometimes called “behavioral advertising,” is based on anonymous information and not on any personally identifiable information. As a result, we and our vendors know your interests, but do not personally identify you in connection with the delivery of that specific ad. We believe that such advertising is helpful because you will see advertisements that are relevant to your interests. However, if you would like to opt out of these interest-based advertisements, please follow the opt-out process described below under “Opt-Out.
We may store some information on your device or device hard drive as a “cookie” or similar type of file (such as clear gifs, web beacons, tags, and similar technologies that work on mobile devices) to collect data related to usage of the Website and for the purpose of facilitating and enhancing your communication and interaction with the Website. Such data may include, without limitation, the address of the websites you visited before and after you visited the Website, the type of browser you are using, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, what pages in the Website you visit and what links you clicked on, the region where your device is located, etc. We use this information to help us maintain and enhance the efficiency and usefulness of the Website and may use it and other non-personally identifiable information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, such as to serve targeted advertising to you.
If you want to stop or restrict the placement of cookies or flush any cookies that may already be on your computer or device, please refer to and adjust your web browser preferences and see the Opt Out section below.
As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each website you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as “clickstream data,” can be collected and stored by a website’s server. Clickstream data can tell us the type of device and browsing software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to the Service. We may collect and use clickstream data to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on websites, how visitors navigate throughout websites and how we may tailor our Service to better meet consumer needs. This information will be used to improve our Service and our services. Any collection or use of clickstream data will be anonymous, and will not intentionally contain any personally identifiable data.
How Information is Used
We use PII that you provide for our internal and business purposes, such as offering our services to you, confirming and tracking your order, subscription or registration; analyzing statistics and demographics; and informing you of new products, services, and offers as provided by us. We will use your PII to provide you with any specific services that you have requested and to respond to your direct inquiries. We will also use your PII to add you to our mailing lists and to send you emails from time to time
Our partners may have products, services, or offers about which you may be interested in receiving information and they may use the PII we have for you to contact you.
We may also combine information you give us online or through printed forms; publicly available information; and information we receive from other parties. We use this combined information for your online experience and to let you know about new products, services, offers, and other promotion.
To give you the best possible service, we may use our partners to provide contracted services for our business, including, but not limited to processing credit cards, hosting our website, shipping products to you, or advertising. In many cases, we will need to provide some if not all the PII you provide to use so our partners can perform these services. Our partners are only authorized to use your PII as provided within this Privacy Policy.
There are times that we may have to disclose your PII to comply with state and federal laws; to assist law enforcement and governmental agencies in preventing or investigating fraud or other crimes, or in response to a court order. In such instances, we will only provide the PII requested and your PII will only be used for legal purposes as opposed to marketing.
Finally, if we sold or transferred our business, we would transfer your PII to the purchaser as appropriate and might also retain a copy of your PII for any new business ventures we would start.
