WEBSITE USER INFORMATION

When browsing HelloClassy.com and our social media sites, the online ad networks we work with may place anonymous cookies on your computer, and use similar technologies, in order to understand your interests based on your anonymous online activities, and thus to tailor more relevant ads to you.

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyze web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We also use Google Analytics to collect and process data. (Please read “How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps,” at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ for details.)

If you do not wish to receive such tailored advertising, you can visit this page: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/#!/ to opt out of most companies that engage in such advertising. (This will not prevent you from seeing ads; the ads simply will not be delivered through these targeting methods.) 

You may give consent for our Site to capture and record certain precise geo-location or global positioning data from your device in order to tailor information to your location. We may link such location data to other information that you provide to us or that may be accessed in connection with your use of our Site.

You should be able manage how your mobile device and mobile browser share location information with us, as well as how your mobile browser handles cookies and related technologies, by adjusting your mobile device’s privacy and security settings.

There are “do not track” or similar browser choices available to internet users with respect to online web activity, but given the present lack of consensus of what constitutes an informed election, appropriate trigger or breadth of scope of such choice, our Site will not operate any differently when a “do not track” signal is received.

THE INFORMATION WE GATHER

We collect the above information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:

• To transact business with you (purchases, orders payments, returns/exchanges, requests for information regarding products and services, etc.) and otherwise serve you as a customer.
• Internal record keeping.
• To improve our products, services, website effectiveness, operations, mobile experience, marketing efforts or as described elsewhere in this policy, to prevent against fraud and theft, and otherwise to protect our Site visitors and our business. 
• We may periodically send promotional emails about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided.
• From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for market research purposes. We may contact you by email, phone, fax or mail. We may use the information to customize the website according to your interests.

We may share your information with our dealers, suppliers and partners, who may provide you with email and other communications and offers for products and services, including offers based on your interests, personal and business characteristics, stated preferences and location.

We may provide your information to affiliated companies or others who process it on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

We may also release your information to others (including law enforcement) if we believe such release is reasonably necessary to comply with the law or legal process; enforce or apply the terms of applicable terms of use; detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; or otherwise protect the rights, property or safety of HelloClassy or others.

We may also sell, transfer and disclose your information as part of a business divestiture, sale, merger, or acquisition of all or a part of our business.  If another company acquires our company, business, or assets, that company will possess the information collected by us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your information as described in this Privacy Policy.  In the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership, information may also be transferred as a business asset.

We may share aggregate, non-individual information with third parties for lawful purposes.

COOKIES

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyze data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

PROTECTING YOUR INFORMATION

We take what we believe to be reasonable precautions and have implemented managerial and technical procedures to try to protect the security of data and information, including Personal Information. However, we cannot guarantee against any loss, misuse, unauthorized disclosure, or alteration or destruction of data or Personal Information. You provide your Personal Information to us at your own risk. You acknowledge that: (1) there are security and privacy limitations in computer systems and on the Internet, including any type of digital communication or  mobile devices, which are beyond our control; (2) the security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through the Site, including Personal Information, cannot be guaranteed; and (3) any such information and data, including Personal Information, may be viewed or tampered with by a third party while such information or data is being used, transmitted, processed, or stored.

By submitting your personal information to us, you are consenting to the processing and storing of your personal information in the United States and to our use of your personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If you are submitting personal information of third parties to us, you warrant and represent you have their consent to provide their personal information to us and will hold us harmless from and against claims by such individuals relating to our processing and use of such personal information within the terms of this Privacy Policy.  Provided that we take reasonable available measures to protect your personal information, we assume no liability or responsibility for any data breaches, and the limitations of liability under the terms of use shall apply, except where we are grossly negligent or engage in intentional misconduct.

For that reason, we do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 13, please do not send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under age 13 is allowed to provide any Personal Information to us or this Site. In the event that we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a child under age 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us.
