This page sets forth the site terms and privacy policies of ThriftBride.com (aka "This Site").
Site Terms
I. LINKS TO OTHER SITES
This Site has relationships with other companies that we allow to place
ads and links on our Web pages. As a result of your visit to This Site,
ad server companies may collect information such as your domain type,
your IP address, and clickstream information.
Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are moving from This Site to another Web site. We encourage you to read the site terms and privacy statements of these linked sites as their site terms and privacy policies may differ from ours.
II. ORDERS
If you purchase a product from one of the companies This Site
represents, they will request certain personally identifiable
information from you on their order form. You must provide contact
information (such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial
information (such as credit card number, expiration date). This Site is
not responsible for the site terms or privacy policies of such other
sites so review their site terms and privacy policy before completing
your order.
III. REGISTRATION FOR NEWSLETTER
If This Site offers a newsletter then registration is required with
This Site, such as name and email address. We use this information to

Privacy Policy
CONSUMER PRIVACY
I. INFORMATION WE COLLECT: INDIVIDUAL INTERNET CONSUMERS
A. Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
Under no circumstances does This Site request or collect sensitive PII
such as an Internet user's medical/health conditions; racial or ethnic
origin; political, religious or philosophical beliefs or affiliations;
trade union membership or sex life.
B. Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII).
When a consumer responds to or views an Internet advertisement served
by This Site (such as through third-party Web sites or email
solicitation) or visits an advertiser's web site, we send a cookie
and/or gif file ("Cookies") to assign an anonymous, unique identifier
to the end user's Internet browser. Cookies are small data files
commonly used on the Internet to help optimize and personalize the
Internet end user experience and identify repeat visitors to Web sites.
This Site uses Cookies to obtain information about the preferences of
consumers and the services they select; and also to optimize and
personalize the Internet user's experience. If the Internet user
re-visits the advertiser's site directly, This Site is able to continue
to track the user's activities.
Like most standard
Web site servers, we use log files to collect Internet protocol (IP)
addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, platform type, and date/time stamp. We use the
information to analyze site usage, administer the site, understand
usage and navigation trends in aggregate, and determine the relevance
of content. This information, however, is not linked to any personally
identifiable information.
We also may use Internet
browsing and online purchase data associated with an anonymous
identifier to develop a predictive statistical user profile of the end
user's needs and interests. This Site does not use Cookies or log files
to collect end users' names, physical addresses, email addresses, phone
numbers, credit card numbers, social security numbers, or any other
information which can be used to identify a specific person. We may
match the IP address and user profile with email address data obtained
separately in order to better target campaigns to meet user's
interests, but will not share this information with third parties.
This Site has relationships with other companies that we allow to place
ads and links on our Web pages. Please note that when you click on one
of these links, you are moving to another web site. We encourage you to
read the privacy statements of these linked sites as their privacy
policies may differ from ours.
Some
of these other companies may use marketing technology that allows
advertisers to add non-personally-identifying demographic information,
such as age, gender, area code, or ZIP code, to the non-identifiable
profile data. Thus, there is no direct connection between an end user's
online choices and his or her personal identity.
In
some cases, This Site receives and records partial email addresses of
Internet users, only in circumstances where the user voluntarily
provided its identity and contact information through the Advertiser's
site or third-party marketer's site. This partial email address does
not enable This Site to personally identify an Internet User nor is it
shared, sold, rented, or given away.
II. INFORMATION SHARING
This Site may release account and any other personal information when
we believe release is appropriate to respond to a subpoena or otherwise
comply with the law; or protect the rights, property, or safety of This
Site or others. This may include exchanging information with other
companies and organizations for fraud protection.
III. CONSUMER CHOICE AND ACCESS
A. Opting Out.
Some Cookies have an "opt-out" option. This process does not remove
This Site's Cookie from your system; it simply replaces it with an
opt-out Cookie that does not contain any unique identifiers. If this
site provides such a process it is detailed below.
Some of This Site's Cookies do not have an "opt-out" option, yet you
still have the option of blocking the use of Cookies by changing a
setting in your Internet browser. Please see your browser supplier's
Web site for details on how to do this.
This site does not maintain a process for an individual consumer to opt-out of This Site's Cookies.
B. Accessing Consumer Information.
Because they are not directed towards individual Internet users, most
sites do not maintain a process for an individual consumer to review
and/or request changes to any PII collected.
Except as provided below, this site does not maintain a process for an individual consumer to access his/her PII.
IV. SECURITY
This Site employs industry standard security measures to ensure the
security of all data. Any data that is stored on This Site's servers is
treated as proprietary and confidential and is not available to the
public. This Site allows access to this data only to those employees or
third parties who have a need to know such information for the purpose
of effectively delivering This Site's products and services by means of
user login and password requirements.
No
transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely
secure. It may be possible for third parties not under the control of
This Site to intercept or access transmissions or private
communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your PII, This
Site cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you
transmit to us. You acknowledge and assume this risk when communicating
with This Site.
V. CONSENT AND CHANGES
This Site may find it necessary or be legally obligated to update this
Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post those
changes on this page and update the effective date so that you are
always aware of the information we collect, how we use it, and under
what circumstances we disclose it. Except as otherwise required by law,
modifications to this Privacy Policy will not affect the privacy of
data collected by This Site prior to the effective date of the policy
change.
VI. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY AND SPAM
This Site is very sensitive to the issue of children's privacy and
makes every effort to protect the privacy of children using the
Internet. It is possible that This Site's Web site, products, and
services may may not be appropriate for or directed at children.
Children (persons under the age of 18) are not eligible to do business
with us and we do not collect personal information from any person we
actually know is under the age of 13.
This Site is
committed to proper Internet practices and full compliance with the
CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C. § 7701). It is our policy to prohibit
the sending of unsolicited or "Spam" e-mail by This Site or any of our
marketing partners.
Please note that under the
CAN-SPAM Act, an advertiser is required to provide an opt-out mechanism
for consumers to unsubscribe from future emails about the advertiser.
Although not required to by law, many email marketers also include an
opt-out mechanism to enable consumers to be removed from their mailing
list. This has caused some confusion for consumers in opting out. The
table below clarifies which opt-out mechanism you should use for
commercial emails.

VII. DATA PROCESSING/SAFE HARBOR
The European Union ("EU") maintains strict privacy laws. These rules
differ significantly from US laws. To reconcile these differences, the
US and the EU have created a Safe Harbor that defines mutually
acceptable privacy operations. This Site adheres to the Safe Harbor
principals. For more information see www.export.gov/safeharbor.
VIII. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, THIRD PARTY INFORMATION & LANGUAGE
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE OVER PRIVACY IS SUBJECT TO
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND OUR SITE TERMS
(INCLUDING LIMITATIONS ON DAMAGES, AND ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES). YOU
AGREE THAT THIS SITE'S LIABILITY FOR ANY BREACH OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY
SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE VALUE OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR
SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU BY THIS SITE OR $250 TO THE EXTENT SUCH CLAIM
IS NOT OTHERWISE BARRED BY OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS. You also agree
that you have provided notice to, and obtained consent from, any third
party individuals whose personal data you supply to This Site with
regard to: (a) the purposes for which such third party's personal data
has been collected; (b) the intended recipients or categories of
recipients of the third party's personal data; (c) which of the third
party's data are obligatory and which data, if any, are voluntary; and
(d) how the third party can access and, if necessary, rectify the data
held about them. It is the express will of the parties that this
agreement and all related documents have been drawn up in English.
