CurioDirect INTERNET SITE PRIVACY POLICY
Welcome to the CurioDirect Internet site (the “Site”). The Site is owned and operated by CurioDirect, Inc. (“CurioDirect”). This page contains the CurioDirect Internet Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”). The Site is made available only to those who agree to this Privacy Policy and the CurioDirect Terms and Conditions of Use into which this Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference. As such, by accessing and using the Site you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions of Use. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, you are not authorized to use the Site. CurioDirect may change this Privacy Policy from time to time, without notice to you, by posting such changes on the Site. By using the Site following any such changes, you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy as it may have been changed. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or your dealings with the Site, please e-mail us at support@CurioDirect
1. The Site and CurioDirect Business. CurioDirect operates retail furniture specialty stores which offer a wide variety of high quality products. CurioDirect brings it reputation of quality and service to you through the ease and convenience of on-line shopping via the Site. CurioDirect credit card underwriters operate sites embedded within the Site. Such sites are governed by separate privacy policies, which we encourage you to read at such time as you access those sites. The Site is not intended for persons under 13 years of age. CurioDirect does not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from or about children, and we do not knowingly market our products or services to children.
2. Your IP address. An Internet Protocol address (an “IP Address”) is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web. Web servers are able to automatically identify your computer by its IP Address. CurioDirect may identify and collect your IP Address to help diagnose problems with its server, administer the Site and identify its users. CurioDirect may also use your IP Address in conjunction with the Tracking Technologies described below for, among other things, purposes such as remembering user preferences or minimizing the need for you to re-enter information.
3. Tracking Technologies. CurioDirect may collect information from you that is not in the same category as the Personal Information discussed later in this Privacy Policy. For example, CurioDirect might track information about the date and time visitors access the Site, the type of web browser they used, and the Web site from which visitors connected to the Site. As with many Web sites, CurioDirect may use "cookies" and/or other technology (e.g., clear GIFs, web beacons and tracker GIFs) in the Site or in our communications with you to enhance the functionality of the Site and to make your transactions and other activities more convenient and efficient (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”). These Tracking Technologies may vary, but in some cases may involve a small file stored locally on your computer hardware, and may be used by CurioDirect to store and collect information relating to your viewing and use of the Site and CurioDirect correspondences with you. CurioDirect WANTS TO BE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ACCEPTING TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES ONTO YOUR COMPUTER IN NO WAY GIVES US ACCESS TO YOUR COMPUTER OR ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU. YOU MAY SET YOUR WEB BROWSER SOFTWARE TO REJECT TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES, BUT, IF SO, CERTAIN FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SITE MAY BE EFFECTED. CurioDirect honors the browser settings of visitors to the Site and makes no attempt to circumvent them. Third parties (including, but not limited to, software vendors, advertisers and fulfillment companies) may also use Tracking Technologies by or through the Site. CurioDirect has no control over what information such third parties track or collect, and has no responsibility or liability for any tracking, data collection or other activities of such third parties.
4. Personal Information. As used in this Privacy Policy “Personal Information” includes your name, address, phone number, e-mail address or any other information which might reasonably be used to identify you individually but does not generally include generic Web surfing data and information capable of being gathered through Tracking Technologies (collectively “Personal Information”).
5. Use of Materials Gathered from or Submitted to the Site. Subject to this Privacy Policy, any communication or material you transmit to the Site or to CurioDirect including Personal Information , whether by electronic mail or otherwise, for any reason, will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary. CurioDirect uses the Personal Information you provide to respond to your inquiry or to process your request. As a result, CurioDirect may share the personal information you provide with other companies we have hired to provide services for CurioDirect. These companies – our vendors – are contractually bound to use Personal Information we share with them only to perform the services we have hired them to provide. CurioDirect may also use the Personal Information for other reasonable business purposes of CurioDirect. For example, CurioDirect may use Personal Information to contact you, via e-mail or regular mail, to provide you with information that CurioDirect believes may be of interest. Personal Information also might be used for editorial and feedback purposes, for internal CurioDirect marketing and promotional purposes, for a statistical analysis of users’ behavior, for product development, for content improvement and to customize the content and layout of the Site. We do not share, sell, or lease personal information about you to any third-parties for their marketing use. We will release information about you if you direct us to do so, if we are required by law to do so, or in other legally limited circumstances (for example, to protect your account from fraud).
6. Opt-Out Right. Visitors may exercise the right to opt-out of having their Personal Information collected by CurioDirect, used by CurioDirect for secondary purposes, disclosed to third parties, or used by CurioDirect or third parties to send promotional correspondences to the visitor. Such opt-out rights may be exercised by contacting CurioDirect via email. All such correspondence must clearly identify you by name and address and must identify its purpose as the exercise of your opt-out rights.
7. Links to Other Sites. This Privacy Policy applies solely to CurioDirect and information collected on this Site. The Site contains links to other sites. CurioDirect is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites. CurioDirect encourages visitors to the Site to be aware when they are leaving the Site and to read the privacy statements of each Web site that collects personally identifiable information.
8. Security. We maintain strict physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized or inappropriate access. We restrict access to information about you to those CurioDirect employees who need to know the information to respond to your inquiry or request. The registration forms that may be used on the Site support encryption to help protect the security of your transfer of data to the Site. Although CurioDirect will take all reasonable security precautions regarding information stored on the Site, due to the open nature of the Internet, CurioDirect cannot guarantee that any information stored on our servers or transmitted to or from a user will be free from unauthorized access, and CurioDirect disclaims any liability for any theft or loss of, unauthorized access or damage to, or interception of any data or communications. By using the Site, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks.
