This privacy policy explains what personal information is collected
through this Web site, how that information is used, to whom it's
disclosed, and how it's safeguarded. This policy applies only to
personal information collected through the Web site, microsites, and
mobile sites of Allure Nail Supply that display or link to this policy.
By "personal information" we mean your identifying information (like
name, home address, and email address), and possibly descriptive
information (like tastes and preferences) if coupled with your
identifying information ("personally identifying information"). We may
refer to Victoria's Secret as "we," "us," or "our" throughout this
privacy policy.
This privacy policy answers these questions:
1.
Information Collected Directly from You and Others through this Site
We collect personal information directly from you to do all the things
typically associated with electronic and mobile commerce Web sites.
Examples of the information we collect include name, address, telephone
number, mobile phone number, email address, personal preferences,
credit card number, purchase and ordering information, demographical
information, and sizing information.
This information is collected at various places: for instance, when you
check out with your online order; subscribe to catalogs, email offers,
and mobile messaging offers; participate in surveys, contests, or
sweepstakes; or interact with special-event or program offers.
We collect information about you. And, when you provide it, we collect
information about those you know. For example, we collect your gift
recipient's contact information to process your gift orders. We use
this information to do things like:
- process your online orders;
- open an online account at your request;
- personalize your online experience with content and offers that are tailored to your interests;
- provide customer service, whether it's responding to a request or following up on an order;
- include you in surveys and contests;
- enable you to post your content, such as comments, images;
- facilitate networks of online social activity centered around our products and services;
- enable
you to interact with third-party content service providers, whether by
linking to their sites, viewing their content within our Web
environment, or by viewing our content within their Web environment; and
- market
our products and services-for instance, by adding you to our email or
print-catalog list when you make an online purchase.
2.
Information We Observe or Collect through Technology- Navigational Information
When you visit this Web site, we collect navigational information, such
as browser type and version, service-provider identification, IP
address, the site from which you came, and the site to which you
navigate. Navigational information is largely anonymous in the sense
that it doesn't contain your name, address, phone number, email address
or other information that directly identifies you. However, we may
associate this navigational information with your personal information
if you provide it.
- Cookies and Clear gifs
To better understand what you do while on our site, we use a browser
feature known as a cookie. A cookie is a small data file that's stored
by your Web browser on your computer. It's used to do things like see
how you navigate our Web site, and remember you and your online
purchases when you return. This helps us improve our site, provide
better customer service, personalize your online experience, and
personalize offers to you based on your unique tastes and purchase
history.
We also use clear-gifs (also known as a Web beacon or Web bug) on our
Web site and in our emails. A clear gif is a nearly invisible
pixel-sized graphic image on a Web page, Web-based document or e-mail
message. It helps us do things like view the URL of the page on which
the clear gif appears and the time our Web site or email in question is
viewed. Clear gifs in e-mails help us confirm the receipt of, and
response to, our emails, including those that you forward to friends
and family; and they help deliver a more personalized online
experience. Overall, these technologies may be used to help us see
which of our interactive experiences online users like most–for
example, by keeping track of the number of times a video, widget or
other media is accessed or embedded on social networking sites; and on
which social networking sites it is embedded, based on inquiries that
are sent to our Web site. Cookies and clear gifs also allow us to
associate your online navigational or transactional information with
any personal information you provide (such as name, address, phone
number, and email address). We'll associate this information only for
our purposes: to deliver products and services to you; to improve our
business; to transact business; and to market our products and services
through a variety of media like email, mobile advertising, and direct
mail. As an example, we may use cookies to keep track of what you put
into your shopping bag. That can help us contact you if your online
session is disrupted in mid-purchase, resulting in an abandoned cart.
We can also use this technology to determine whether you'd be
interested in participating in special events, given your preferences.
The end result is a more personalized experience that's tailored to
your needs and tastes.
