Girls in the Know takes very seriously the private nature of your personal information. This Privacy Policy describes our information gathering, usage, and disclosure practices for this Site.
Information We Collect
The information you may provide and that we collect when you visit our Site falls into two broad categories: Aggregate Information and Personally Identifiable Information. "Aggregate Information" is information that does not identify you, and may include, for example, statistical information concerning the pages on the Site that users most frequent. "Personally Identifiable Information" is information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, e-mail address, telephone number or mailing address.
We may collect Aggregate Information regarding your use of our Site through cookies and similar Internet technologies. "Cookies" are small pieces of information that a web site transfers to your hard drive, where it is stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes (such as storing user preferences). We do not use cookies to collect any Personally Identifiable Information. We may use cookies to show how and when visitors use our Site in order to improve our site. The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive new cookies and how to disable cookies altogether. Please be advised that web sites not operated by us that you link to from our Site may use cookies differently than we do. You should read and understand the privacy policy of the web site(s) that you link to in order to determine whether and how a particular site uses cookie.
How We Use the Information that We Collect
We use Personally Identifiable Information that you provide to us when you visit our Site for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our Site, and communicating with you. For example, if you purchase services provided by a third party through the Site, you provide us with contact information (which may include Personally Identifiable Information, such as an e-mail address, mailing address, or phone number), we will use that information to contact you regarding your request, to send you the information and to notify the third party vendor that you have purchased certain services and/or products.
We use the Aggregate Information that we collect for system administration, to measure the number of visitors to our Site, to improve web site performance, and to help us improve our Site.
Our Disclosure Practices
We disclose your Personally Identifiable Information to authorized Girls In The Know personnel who are required to treat this information as confidential, and to other third parties whose role is to maintain or operate our Site, fulfill the requests you make at our Site, or who may be engaged by us specifically to handle and deliver certain online activities. We also disclose your Personally Identifiable Information to third party vendors when you buy their products or services through the Site or when you purchase a Savings Pass for their products or services (See Making Purchases).
An exception to our disclosure policy exists if we merge with another entity or if all or substantially all of our assets are transferred or sold to another entity. In that case, all information submitted to us may be transferred to the merged or acquiring entity. Additionally, we may disclose Personally Identifiable Information when we believe it is appropriate in connection with legal proceedings, or to comply with law or requests by law enforcement agencies, to enforce our policies or to protect the rights, property or safety of users of our Site and others.
Security Of The Information You Provide To Us
We have taken steps to put in place security procedures so that Personally Identifiable Information collected through the Site are protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to our database servers as well as using electronic security systems and password protections which guard against unauthorized access. DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE INTERNET AND DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGIES, WE CANNOT, HOWEVER, PROVIDE ASSURANCES AS TO THE SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION, AND WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL SUCH OBLIGATIONS.
Correcting Information; Opting Out
If at any time you would like us to update or correct Personally Identifiable Information you have previously provided to us, feel free to contact us using the contact information provided in the "Contact Us" section, and we will update or correct your Personally Identifiable Information to the extent your request does not compromise and is consistent with our privacy policies.
