Privacy Policy
Privacy policy
Maiden Wings Importers CC 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.
How we gather information from users
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. 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 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 interactive areas of our site.
Like most Web sites, Maiden Wings Importers CC 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 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.
What we do with the information we collect
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 Maiden
Wings Importers CC to communicate with you about your registration and
customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy; services
and products offered by Maiden Wings Importers CC and other topics we think you
might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by Maiden
Wings Importers CC 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.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
Maiden Wings Importers CC 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 Maiden Wings Importers CC
page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party.
Also, through Maiden Wings Importers CC you may be
introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features, contests
or sweepstakes offered by other parties. Maiden Wings Importers CC 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. Maiden Wings Importers CC 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 Maiden
Wings Importers CC and this policy.
Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal information from
children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have personal information on
a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information from our systems. Maiden
Wings Importers CC encourages parents to go online with their kids. Here are a
few tips to help make a child's online experience safer:
- Teach
kids never to give personal information, unless supervised by a parent or
responsible adult. Includes name, address, phone, school, etc.
- Know
the sites your kids are visiting and which sites are appropriate.
- Look
for Web site privacy policies. Know how your child's information is
treated.
