Web Site Privacy Policy ::
Introduction:
At Upscale Seductions Inc, we respect your privacy. We want to maintain
your confidence in our handling of any data and
information that is collected during your visit to
our web site. We have developed and provided this
Privacy Policy to inform you of our practices and
policies regarding the collection, use,
maintenance, and disclosure of your personal data
and information.
We are committed to providing you with adequate
information so you can make an informed decision
whether to visit our web site and whether you wish
to voluntarily provide any personal data or
information, e.g., your name, e-mail address,
telephone number, etc. Our Privacy Policy is
described in the following sections.
Cookies:
"Cookies" are small data files that are written to and
stored on your hard drive when you visit a web
site. They do not read files on your hard
drive.
Like most web sites, we use cookies to personalize a
user's experience of our web site and to make it
easier for users to complete forms. Our cookies do
not track user movement once you leave our web
site, except for noting your destination
address.
Most web browsers allow the user to be notified upon
the proposed installation of a cookie and the user
can then decline the cookie. Even if you decline
the cookie, you may continue to use our entire web
site.
We use data and information received from our cookies
for marketing purposes and to improve our on-line
offering of services and products. We may also do
so to evaluate our site's technical capacity and
to review the navigational structure of our site,
e.g., to revise or restructure our web site for
easier and more intuitive movement
throughout.
Currently, the data and information we collect with cookies
is only reviewed in an aggregated form, which is
not personally identifiable. In the future,
however, we may correlate the data and information
received from cookies with personally identifiable
information, to identify specific users and track
their web site usage. This personally identifiable
information will be limited to contact
information, such as the user's name, address,
phone number, fax number, and e-mail address. Our
use of this combined information will continue to
be solely for the purposes stated above with
respect to information collected through
cookies.
Whether or not the data and information received from
cookies is correlated to any specific user, we do
not, and will not, disclose, sell, rent or share
any data or information derived from cookies with
any third parties other than to Upscale Seductions
Inc's affiliated companies ("Affiliates"), except for personally
identifiable information saved in cookies when you
register for or enroll in a program or service as
we disclose in accordance with our policy for
Voluntarily Provided Information set forth below,
or as otherwise stated in this Privacy
Policy.
Log Files:
We also review data and information contained in log
files located on our web server, which record the
date and time of each visit to our web site, the
user's IP (internet protocol) address, the
referring IP address or domain (the prior web site
visited), and the files viewed on our web site
(including HTML pages, graphics, etc.). We use log
file information to analyze data in the aggregate
to determine the trends and usage of our site. We
cannot correlate the log data to identify specific
users.
We do not, and will not, disclose, sell, rent or
share any information derived from log files with
any third parties other than to Affiliates, or as
otherwise stated in this Privacy
Policy.
Voluntarily Provided Information:
If you register for or enroll in a program or service
through our web sites, make purchases from our
on-line offerings, respond to a request for
information or make any other on-line request of
us, you will be voluntarily providing personally
identifiable information. If you do not agree with
this Privacy Policy, we ask that you please do not
provide the requested information. You may
nevertheless continue to use most of our web site,
subject, however, to the collection of information
through cookies and log files as discussed above.
If you have previously provided personally
identifiable information by registration through
our web site, you may request to be removed from
our active database of mailing lists.
Voluntarily provided information is used to send you
announcements of new products, updates, and
promotional information, as well as to provide the
services or goods that you request and give you
better customer service. We share personally
identifiable information with our Affiliates, as
well as with our third-party business partners,
sales representatives and distributors
(collectively, "Partners") who may provide the
requested goods or services to you directly or
otherwise contact you directly. Moreover, we rely
on various third-party service companies ("Service
Companies") to provide certain services (e.g.,
shipping, credit card billing) for which it is
necessary to provide users' personally
identifiable information.
We do not, and will not, disclose, sell, rent or
share any personally identifiable information
received as a result of enrolment, registrations
or e-commerce transactions on our web site with
any third parties, other than our Affiliates,
Partners, Service Companies, or as otherwise
stated in this Privacy Policy.
Please note that although we may seek to require that
Affiliates, Partners, and Service Companies use
information regarding our users only in the ways
permitted by this Privacy Policy, we do not
control and are not responsible for their privacy
practices, or those of any other
party.
Collection of Data & Information by Our ISP:
Our Internet Service Provider (ISP) also collects
certain information about your visit. It is the
same information contained in a log file that we
collect and analyze, i.e., the date and time of
the visit, the user's IP (internet protocol)
address, the referring IP address or domain, and
the files viewed on our web site (including HTML
pages, graphics, etc.). In addition, our ISP has
access to back-up files containing the personally
identifiable information that you voluntarily
provide (even if your input fails). The ISP does
not disclose, share, release, publish,
disseminate, rent, or sell any personally
identifiable information to any third parties, but
does use the log files to analyze data in an
aggregate form, which is not personally
identifiable information.
Links to Third-Party Web Sites:
Through our web pages, you may connect to third parties'
web sites via hyperlinks, and the connections may
or may not be obvious. We are not responsible for
the collection, use, maintenance, sharing, or
disclosure of data and information by such third
parties. We encourage our users to be aware of the
varied privacy policies of web sites that they
visit.
Correspondence:
We maintain and review e-mail correspondence that you
send to us. We will use (and maintain in a file
specific to you) the personally identifiable
information disclosed in the e-mail. Because such
correspondence contains information that is not
transmitted through the operation of our web site,
it is not subject to the terms of this Privacy
Policy.
Required Disclosures of Data & Information:
In addition to disclosures to our Affiliates,
Partners, and Service Companies, and regardless of
anything in this Privacy Policy to the contrary,
we may disclose personally identifiable
information, with or without prior notice to you,
when we believe that the law requires it, in
response to subpoenas or at the demand of
governmental agencies, to protect our systems or
business, to protect other visitors to the web
site, or to respond to an emergency. If you
partake, or we reasonably suspect you of partaking
in any illegal activity we may also disclose your
personally identifiable information, even without
a subpoena, warrant or court order. We may also
make disclosures of your personally identifiable
information with your affirmative consent.
Maintenance & Transmission of Data & Information:
Although we use reasonable efforts to maintain the privacy
of your personally identifiable data and
information, due to technological limitations, and
the risk of unlawful interceptions and accessing
of transmissions and/or data, we cannot completely
assure you, and you should not expect, that your
personally identifiable data and information, and
any other electronically communicated information,
will be absolutely confidential.
For all e-commerce transactions, we use
industry-standard commercial encryption technology
to protect the data and information that you
transmit to us via our web site. Although this
technology is not flawless, we believe that it
provides reasonable protection for your data and
information. We will endeavor to update our
protective devices as encryption technology
develops further.
Once received, personally identifiable information is
protected from outside Upscale Seductions by "firewalls," and
access within Upscale Seductions is generally limited to the
sales, marketing, and information technology
departments. We also seek to require our
Affiliates, Partners and Service Companies to
exercise reasonable efforts to maintain the
confidentiality of your information.
Your Right to Review & Modify Data & Information:
You have the right, at any time, to review and/or
modify any of your personally identifiable
information that you provide during registration,
or any other voluntarily provided information. You
may also remove yourself from our active databases
of e-mail lists. To do so, you should send an
e-mail to
[email protected] requesting that (a) we provide a copy of your
profile of personally identifiable information,
(b) we update or modify certain personally
identifiable information, or (c) you be removed
from our databases of active e-mail lists. We will
endeavor to comply with your request as soon as
reasonably possible. To protect your
confidentiality, we can only send a requested
profile to the e-mail address listed in the
profile. In any event, our back-up files will
maintain copies of your personally identifiable
information. We reserve the right to contact
former customers or users of the web site from
time to time.
Users Under 18:
This web site is not directed at children under the age
of 18. If you are younger than 18, please do not
provide any personally identifiable information in
connection with your use of the web site.
Assignment:
We reserve the right to transfer any and all
information that we collect from our visitors to a
third party in the event that we sell or transfer
substantially all of our assets related to the web
site to such third party.
Changes to this Privacy Policy:
Due to changing technological and marketing demands,
we must reserve the right to change our policies
regarding the privacy of your personally
identifiable information in the future. If that
happens, we will endeavor to promptly update this
Privacy Policy. We may also attempt to provide a
message to our customers whose e-mail addresses we
have, in conformity with this Privacy Policy,
advising of any such change(s). Your continued use
of the web site following changes to this policy
will indicate that you accept the changes. For
ease of your review of any changes, the following
is a list of the date of all revisions to this
Privacy Policy:

informed decision whether to visit our web site
and/or to provide us with certain
information.
If you have any questions, concerns or problems, we
encourage you to email to
[email protected] We greatly appreciate your suggestions on how we
can improve our Privacy Policy or any aspects of our web site.
