PRIVACY POLICY
The MELISSA VELIA company worldwide recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of all consumers (“you” or “user”) who visit
the MELISSA VELIA hosted or sponsored websites. We also believe it is important to inform you about how we will use your personal
information, and to give you choices about how this data will be used. For these reasons, we encourage you to read this Privacy Policy
carefully. This Privacy Policy is directed and applicable to individuals who visit those portions of the MELISSA VELIA website accessible
at www.melissavelia.com, as well as and including any other MELISSA VELIA websites or web pages accessible through the MELISSA
VELIA website or other promotional websites MELISSA VELIA hosts or sponsors such as minisites or pages on third party social
networking services, directed at consumers in the United States (collectively the “Sites”), including those portions of the MELISSA
VELIA website accessible by going to www.melissavelia.com. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by us via the
Sites and does not extend to any other website. Personal information collected over the Sites goes directly to servers housed in the
United States.
Collection and Use of Information:
Personal Information
While users can view our website by browsing anonymously, we collect identifiable personal information (“Personal Information”) about
Sites users when they voluntarily provide it to make purchases from the Sites, voluntarily register or otherwise sign up with the Sites, or
contact us via the Sites. Sites users may provide Personal Information for various reasons, including but not limited to, for the purposes
of obtaining newsletters, product information, event information, and services, to answer surveys, enter contests and receive notice of
other promotional opportunities, and to make purchases. The type of Personal Information that we may collect includes name, address,
phone number, email address and purchase information such as credit or debit card information used to facilitate the sale of MELISSA
VELIA products. We may also use the information that you provide to create a personal customer profile in order to let you know of
products or events that may be of interest to you and to streamline future purchases. We may combine Personal Information we collect
on the Sites with other information we collect offline about users to better tailor marketing or website content or for other purposes,
such as internal research. For information on how to opt-out of allowing us to use your Personal Information for marketing purposes,
see section below.
Non-Personal Information
We collect certain aggregate and non-personal information when you visit the Sites. This information does not relate to a single
identifiable visitor. It tells us such things as how many users visited the Sites and the pages accessed. Collecting this information helps
us tailor our Sites to our visitors.
When you visit the Sites to browse, read or download information, we automatically collect standard computer information that your
browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring website
addresses. We generally do not link standard computer information to anything that will allow us to identify users unless to enforce
compliance with our rules or terms of service or to protect our service, sites, users or others.
We also may collect aggregate and non-personal information through “cookies” or “web beacons,” as explained below.
Cookies: Cookies are pieces of information that any website may transfer to your browser that are then stored in your computer system.
Cookies are returned to the website that deposited them when a visitor returns to that site. Cookies tell us, for example, whether a user
is a first time visitor or has visited the Sites before and what areas of the websites are of greatest interest to the user. The deposit of
cookies by the Sites may enhance your online experience by allowing us to save your preferences for your next visit. Our cookies may
also measure the general activity on the Sites, which allows us to determine which areas and features are most popular. This
information allows us to make improvements to our Sites.
Most web browsers are set up to accept cookies. You can, however, reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a
cookie is being sent. If you choose to decline cookies, some of the functionality of the Sites may be impaired.
Web Beacons: Web beacons, also known as “clear gifs,” “one-pixel gifs,” “web bugs,” “Internet tags” or “pixel tags,” are small graphic
images on a website or in an e-mail that allow us and third parties to monitor the activity on the Sites or to make cookies more effective.
Web beacons allow us, or third parties working on our behalf, to gauge and enhance the effectiveness of our marketing by transmitting
information about whether you follow links in our e-mails or websites, and by gathering information about the sites you visit before and
after visiting our websites. We use log files to store the data that is collected through Web beacons.
Sharing of Personal Information
Subject to the following paragraphs and the disclosures discussed in them, we will neither disclose nor sell any information about you to
a party unaffiliated with us unless (i) required to do so by law or legal process; (ii) required to do so by law enforcement authorities or
other government officials; (iii) we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm, financial loss or injury to, or
interference with, our rights or property or the rights or property of our users or others, or in connection with an investigation of
suspected or actual illegal activity; (iv) we reasonably believe that you have used information from the Sites in order to commit unlawful
acts or acts that may endanger the health and/or safety of the public; and/or (v) we believe the law in good faith requires such
disclosure.
We may appoint third party service providers to administer and/or operate certain functions or services on our behalf, the proper
performance of which may require a transfer of the information submitted by you. The functions or services include, for example,
administering the Sites, delivery of products requested or ordered by you, and delivery of marketing or other communications to you
about our products, services or special events. Any such transfer shall be subject to confidentiality and security obligations and for the
sole purpose of the performance of those functions or services.
Security
Protecting your information is of primary concern to us. We store the information that we collect on secure servers and otherwise take
reasonable precautions to protect your Personal Information. However, we cannot warrant and do not represent that our level of
security meets or exceeds any specific standards. No Internet transmission is 100% secure or error-free, nor is stored data free from
vulnerabilities. We cannot guarantee the security of our websites, databases or services, nor can we guarantee that the information
you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. We are not responsible for the actions of third parties.
Children's Privacy
The Sites are not directed to children and we do not intentionally collect or maintain any Personal Information from children under the
age of 13 years old. If you believe that we might have any Personal Information from or about anyone under the age of 13, please
reach us at the contact information provided below.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify, alter or otherwise update this policy at any time and you agree to be bound by
such modifications, alterations or updates. We will notify you of material changes to this Privacy Policy by posting the revised policy with
the date it was revised on this page and if you have registered with us, we may notify you by email to your email address of record.
Your continued use (including access, browsing and/or use of any interactive feature) of our Sites constitutes your agreement to this
Privacy Policy and any updates. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we are
protecting the Personal Information we collect.
