By visiting this Site, you are accepting the policies and practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, you are not permitted to access this Site, and you should not do so. 
The Company reserves the right to change or otherwise update this Privacy Policy at any time. Such changes or updates are effective immediately after the Company gives notice of the change or update, which the Company may do by posting on this Site, by e-mail, and/or by any other means which provides reasonable notice.

Tanya Taylor understands and respects your desire for privacy. To that end, we would like to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information (as defined below) and data we receive from users of this Site.

 

SECTION 1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

1.1 User-Provided Information.


You provide us personally identifying information (that is, information which may allow someone to identify you, including but not limited to your name, address, telephone number, email address, and date of birth) (hereinafter, “Personal Information”) when you register for a member account with the Site (if registration is offered, including by “following,” “liking,” linking your account to the Site, etc.), purchase merchandise through the Site, provide us with feedback or otherwise contact us via email, and when you post messages on our Site. You may also provide us with other non-public information that is associated with this personal information. 
We may also collect Personal Information at other places on the Site that specifically state that such information is being collected. In making your decision whether to provide Personal Information, you should be aware of the general risks of transmitting information over the Internet. This Site has implemented appropriate safeguards to help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and make proper use of the information we collect. However, no transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. Thus, while we attempt to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing or tampering with the Site or accessing your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee that these efforts will be successful. 
If you correspond with us by email, we may retain the content of your email messages, your email address and our responses. We may also retain any messages you send through the Site. You may provide us information in any content you post to or on the Site.

 

1.2 Other Ways Information is Collected.

When you visit our Site, we automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system. In addition, as you use the Site, certain information may also be passively collected through the use of other technologies such as cookies, pixels, beacons and log files to collect information about how you use the Site. Like many websites, we use "cookies" to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your browser for record-keeping purposes. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and as such, you’ll find them used by most major websites. We use cookies for two purposes. First, we may utilize persistent cookies to save your registration information. Second, we utilize session ID cookies to better understand how you interact with the Site and to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on the Site. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off from the Site and then close your browser. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions or functionalities of the Site. Any Personal Information gathered through the use of cookies is subject to this Privacy Policy. Below is a list of cookies that we use on this Site. We have listed them so that you can choose if you want to opt-out of cookies or not.

1.3 Google Analytics.

This Site may use Google Analytics, a website analysis service by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses "cookies" to analyze your use of the Site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site is sent to and stored at a Google server in the United States.  Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the Site, to compile reports on Site activities for website operators and to provide other services related to Site and internet activities. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You can prevent the collection of data generated by cookies and related to the use of this website by downloading and installing the “plug-in” under the following link HTTP://TOOLS.GOOGLE.COM/DLPAGE/GAOPTOUT.

We will not rent or sell your personally identifiable information to others.

 

3.2 Third Party Services.

We may share your personally identifiable information with third parties for the purpose of enabling us to provide the Site and services to you, including facilitating the creation of user accounts, the provision of hosting or technical support and to provide other services to you from time to time. In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

 

3.3 Purchase of Products.

Our Site is hosted by Spree Commerce ("Spree"). Spree provides us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, your credit card information, along with the personal identifying information you submit, is transferred to and used by Spree to verify the credit card numbers and to authorize the processing of the transaction. 
Be sure to review all privacy policies published by Spree and contact them directly if you have questions as they may have privacy terms that differ from the Company's Privacy Policy.

 

3.4 Non-Personally Identifiable Information.

We may use non-personally identifiable information for any purpose, and may share non-personally identifiable information (such as anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks) with interested third parties to help them understand the usage patterns on the Site. 
We may allow third-party ad servers or ad networks to serve advertisements on the Site. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on the Site. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content. We do not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent. However, please note that if an advertiser asks us to show an advertisement to a certain audience and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, third-party advertisers. Please consult the respective privacy policies of such advertisers for more information.

If you would like to access, correct, amend or delete any Personal Information we have about you, register a complaint, or simply want more information, contact our Privacy Compliance Officer at CUSTOMERSERVICE@TANYATAYLOR.COM. When a request for user deletion is received, we will make all reasonable efforts to purge said data from our systems.
