Kate Aspen, Inc. strives to offer its visitors the
many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive
and personalized experience. We may use Personally Identifiable
Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone
number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will never sell,
barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third party.
Period.
We consider your trust in our brand to be of utmost importance.
We collect information when you visit our site to help us better serve
you and to improve your online shopping experience. We provide this
security and privacy statement so you can know what information we
collect, and the extent to which we work to maintain security and
privacy for all your information when you visit and use this site. In
return, when you use and submit information to this site, you agree with
and are comfortable with us collecting this information and utilizing
it subject to the rules outlined herein.
Just so you'll know, this privacy policy applies only to this
Site and does not necessarily apply to our collection of your personal
information offline. We also cannot be responsible for the content or
privacy practices on any web site which this site links to or that links
to this site that is not part of our parent corporation, The Aspen
Brands Company.
How we collect and store information depends on the
page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate
and the services provided. Kate Aspen collects information from you only
when you provide it voluntarily. For example, you may be asked to
provide information when you register for access to certain portions of
our site or request certain features, such as wholesale pricing
information, newsletters, or when you make a purchase. You may provide
information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message
boards and chat rooms, and other current or future interactive areas of
our site. Like most Web sites, KateAspen.com also collects information
automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be
transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your
Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and
hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may
store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter
that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times
you encounter a particular message or advertisement while visiting our
site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information
through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us
with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to
accept cookies, but if you do, you may be unable to access certain
portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and
password, and we may not be able to customize the site's features
according to your preferences.
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to
enhance your visit and deliver more individualized content and
advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your information
with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not
personally identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may
combine information about your usage patterns with similar information
obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g.,
to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most
attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our
advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does not
include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow
anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on
KateAspen.com to communicate with you about your registration and
customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy;
services and products offered by KateAspen.com and other topics we think
you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by KateAspen.com may also
be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site
administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions,
administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications
with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the
operation of our site (our Web hosting service for example) may access
such information. We will use your information only as permitted by law.
In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business,
we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses.
In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred
assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court
order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do
so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to
us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it
appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice
prior to disclosure in such cases.
KateAspen.com expects its partners, advertisers and
affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that
third parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other
content providers accessible through our site, may have their own
privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example, during
your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a
KateAspen.com, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a
third party. Also, through KateAspen.com you may be introduced to, or be
able to access, information, Web sites, features, contests or
sweepstakes offered by other parties. KateAspen.com is not responsible
for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the
applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing
information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or
other third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to
identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For
example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and may
include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have
seen a particular advertisement before. Other features available on our
site may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies
or other technology to gather information. KateAspen.com does not
control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting
information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such
third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose
Personally Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas,
that information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by
third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited
messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are
beyond the control of KateAspen.com and this policy.
KateAspen.com does not knowingly collect
or solicit Personally Identifiable Information from or about children
under 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we have received any
information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we will
delete that information immediately. If you believe KateAspen.com has
any information from or about anyone under 13, please contact us at the
