PRINCESST.COM "PT" has adopted a set of
Privacy Principles applicable to all its companies. PT has
implemented those Principles in this Privacy Policy, which describes
how we collect, use and share personally identifiable information ("PII")
we obtain from and about individuals located in the U.S., both
online and off-line.
From time to time PT may revise this Privacy
Policy to reflect industry initiatives or changes in the law, our
PII collection and use practices, the features of our web sites or
technology. Therefore, you should review it periodically so that you
are up to date on our most current policies and practices.
COLLECTION: COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY
IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION ("PII") BY Princess T
General. PT collects personally identifiable information ("PII"
-- that is, information such as your full name, email address,
mailing address or telephone number) only in order to create or
enhance our relationship with you. When we collect PII from you, it
is because you voluntarily submit the information to us in order to
participate in activities like surveys, forums, in connection with
content or suggestions you submit to us or because you want us to
furnish you with products, services or information. On those
occasions when we obtain PII from a third party, we use only
reputable sources of such information.
Cookies. Cookies are small
bits of information that the Internet sites operated by PT place on
the hard drive of your computer. Cookies remember information about
your activities on our site(s) and enable PT to make your visits to
our site(s) more enjoyable. For example, cookies can store your
password for easy logon to a site you have previously visited, can
save your preferences for a personalized home page or can track the
items you have placed in your "shopping cart" during a visit to our
online store. The cookie itself does not contain PII.
Third party advertisements displayed on
Internet site(s) operated by PT may also contain cookies. PT does
not control these advertiser cookies and visitors to our web site(s)
should check the privacy policy of the advertiser to see whether and
how it uses cookies (see "Notice" below for more information on
third party advertisements).
On occasion, PT may use cookies or similar
tools to relate your use of our web site(s) to PII obtained from you
or a reputable third party. For example, if you’ve asked us to send
you information about our upcoming products or promotions, cookie
and/or other information about your online activities may allow us
to limit the materials we send you to items we know you will find
interesting, based on your prior online activities and preferences.
However, if PT wishes to coordinate your personal and web site
activity information in this manner, we will obtain your express
prior consent (i.e., "opt in").
You can program your computer to warn you each
time a cookie is being sent or to refuse cookies completely.
NOTICE: PT Will Provide You with Notice
About Its PII Collection Practices
When PT collects PII from you, we will make sure you are informed
about who is collecting the information, how and why the information
is being collected and the types of uses PT will make of the
information.
This Policy describes the types of other
companies that may want to send you information about their products
and services and therefore may want to share your personal
information (see "Use" below). However, at the time your PII is
collected, PT will notify you of your options regarding our use of
your personally identifiable information, including whether we can
share it with outside companies (see "Choice" below).
Sometimes we collect personally identifiable
information from consumers in manual format, such as a post card or
subscription form. Providing detailed notice in those situations
often proves impractical, so consumers will instead be provided with
a short notice that describes how to obtain the full text of this
Policy and other relevant information from us.
PT's web site(s) may be linked to Internet
sites operated by other companies. Some of these third party sites
may be co-branded with an PT logo, even though they are not operated
or maintained by PT. PT's web site(s) also carry advertisements from
other companies as well as advertisements placed by national
Internet ad agencies. Although we choose our business partners and
advertisers carefully, PT is not responsible for the privacy
practices of web sites operated by third parties that are linked to
our site(s) or for the privacy practices of third party or so-called
national Internet advertising companies. Once you’ve left a PT site
via such a link or by clicking on an advertisement, you should check
the applicable privacy policy of the third party or advertiser site
to determine how they will handle any PII they collect from you.
PT's web site(s) may also be linked to sites
operated by companies affiliated with PT . Visitors to those
affiliated sites should still refer to their separate privacy
policies and practices, which may differ in some respects from this
Policy.
CHOICE: PT Will Provide You with
Choices About the Use of Your PII
PT will provide you with the opportunity to choose whether your PII
may be used for purposes different from the purpose for which it was
submitted. You will also be able to choose whether your information
is shared with companies that are not affiliated with PT.
USE: PT’s Use of PII
PT will use your PII in a manner that is consistent with this Policy
and only for the purpose for which it is submitted, unless other
uses are disclosed at the time of collection and you allow us to use
your information in these other ways.
PT will NOT share your PII with companies that
are not affiliated with PT.
PT employees, agents and contractors must have
a legitimate business reason to obtain access to your PII. Outside
contractors or agents who help us manage our information activities
(i.e., sweepstakes administration, order fulfillment, statistical
analyses) may only use PII to provide PT with a specific service and
not for any other purpose.
If PT obtains PII from a third party, such as a
business partner, our use of this information is governed by this
Policy.
PT may be required to disclose PII to comply
with legal requirements, such as a court order, and to protect the
safety and security of visitors to our web sites.
SECURITY: PT Protects the Security of PII
PT uses reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and
physical measures to safeguard PII in its possession against loss,
theft and unauthorized use, disclosure or modification. In addition,
PT uses reasonable methods to make sure that PII is accurate,
up-to-date and appropriately complete.
ACCESS: How to Access, Correct or
Delete Your PII
In most cases, PT will retain PII for ninety (90) days or less. In
the event PII is retained for longer, PT has implemented a procedure
for you to access, correct or delete your PII.
To access your PII, send an e-mail with the
word "Privacy" in the subject line to
webmaster@PrincessT.com,
requesting a listing of the PII that is on file for you. PT will
respond no later than fifteen (15) business days from receipt of
your request with a list of the PII on file. There may be certain
instances when PT may not be able to provide the PII, such as when
access would violate the privacy of another individual, when access
is prohibited by law, or when the PII has been lawfully obtained
from third party sources.
If for any reason you wish to stop all future
communications from PT, you may send an e-mail with the word
"Privacy" in the subject line to
webmaster@princesst.com,
requesting that your PII be permanently removed form any PT
database. PT will send a confirmation of such removal to you within
fifteen (15) business days of receipt of your request.
