1. PRIVACY POLICY
This is the Privacy Policy for www.parisgulffashionshow.com (referred to in this
Privacy Policy as this “Site” or “PGFS”).
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND THE SITE’S TERMS OF
USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS SITE.
Your privacy is of great importance to PGFS. Because PGFS gathers certain types
of information about the users of this Site, PGFS feels you should fully
understand the Terms and Conditions surrounding the capture and use of that
information. This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for this Site
regarding what information PGFS gathers, how PGFS uses the information, and
how you can correct or change the information captured. This Privacy Policy only
addresses the use of this Site. Third-party websites (including those to which this
Site links and other websites or service providers with which PGFS may have
relationships) may have their own privacy policies and practices, which PGFS
does not control, and PGFS is not responsible for nor does PGFS endorse such
practices or policies.
General Privacy Information
This Site contains links to partners, advertisers, and third-party internet sites and
services that may collect data in connection with sweepstakes, promotions, e-
commerce, etc. They each have separate privacy and data collection practices,
independent of this Site and PGFS has no responsibility or liability for these
independent policies or actions and is not responsible for the privacy practices or
the content of such sites.
Please keep in mind that whenever you browse, use, and voluntarily and publicly
disclose personal information on any online service or website, including this Site
(for example, your name or email address), that information can and will be
collected and used by third parties. In short, if you provide information when
online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages
from other parties in return. Further, while PGFS takes reasonable steps to
protect your information using the security and other measures set forth herein,
PGFS cannot ensure or warrant the security of the information you provide to
PGFS (if any), and you do so at your own risk. Please be careful and responsible
whenever you are online.
Collection and Use of Information
This Site collects information about you both from what you provide to PGFS and
what PGFS collects through the use of cookies (see Cookies below). Information
collected about you is used in 2 different ways. (1) Information is “aggregated,” —
meaning that the information provided by users of this Site is grouped together in
a way that does not disclose the personal information of any particular user.
PGFS may use this aggregated information to determine user traffic statistics for
this Site (including without limitation determining page visits, duration of stay,
the referring URL, I.P. address geographical location, etc.) and to evaluate which
Site content is successful and what is not, and in order to assess which content
that PGFS should make available on this Site. PGFS may use only the anonymous
click stream data to help PGFS and the Site’s advertisers and sponsors deliver
better-targeted advertisements. In addition, PGFS may use information collected
through cookies to target e-commerce promotions and marketing activities for
products and services related to PGFS and/or its clients, sponsors, advertisers,
and business partners. In addition, some of your information may be shared with
third parties who assist PGFS in producing content for the Site or provide a
service to this Site’s users.
It may be necessary − by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from
public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence −
for PGFS to disclose your information. PGFS may also disclose information
about you if it is determined that for purposes of national security, law
enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or
appropriate. Additionally, in the event of reorganization, merger, or sale of all or
part of its assets, PGFS may transfer any and all information collected to the
relevant third party.
Children Under 13
This Site is a general audience website. On this Site, PGFS does not currently
knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. If
in the future, PGFS collects personally identifiable information from children on
the Site, PGFS will do so in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998 (15 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.), including, without limitation,
obtaining necessary parental consent. If PGFS learns that it has collected the
personal information of a child under age 13, PGFS will take steps to delete the
information as soon as possible.
Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that certain websites write to your hard drive when
you visit their website. A cookie file can contain information such as a user I.D.
that that website uses to track the pages you visit. But the only personal
information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. Generally,
cookies work by assigning a unique number to you that has no meaning outside
the assigned website. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read
cookie files created by other websites. This random number lets PGFS keep track
of how many times users of this Site do specific things – like visiting the Site
each month – without really knowing who those users are by name. PGFS uses
cookies to deliver content specific to your interests. You must be aware that this
Site cannot control the use of cookies or the resulting information placed by
advertisers or third parties hosting data for this Site. If you do not want
information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in
most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature; however,
you should note that cookies are maybe necessary to provide you with certain
features (e.g., customized delivery of information) available on this Site.
Security
This Site utilizes a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your
information. All users’ contact information is contained behind a “firewall” and is
only accessible by a limited number of employees who have special access
rights to production systems. Passwords and credit card numbers are encrypted
in this Site’s secure database, which is also located behind a firewall. All
sensitive/credit information supplied by users is transmitted via Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted in this Site’s databases as stated
above. PGFS’s security policies are reviewed periodically and revised as required.
