We collect information from you directly, automatically when you visit our website, and from third parties. Some of this information may be considered “personal information” under various applicable laws We consider information that identifies you as a specific, identified individual (such as your name, phone number, and email address) to be personal information. We will also treat additional information, including IP addresses and cookie identifiers, as “personal information” where required by applicable law. Some of the personal information we collect includes first and last names, email addresses, postal addresses, and telephone numbers. We may also collect other information about you, such as payment card data or other payment information, information about your purchases and other transactions with us, demographic information (e.g., gender, zip code, postal code, or similar information), information about the device you are using to access our channels, and information about your preferences and interests. We may also offer features through which you may choose to provide us with biometric identifiers (e.g., imaging used to help us design better fitting clothing).

*Channels are any website, application, feature, widget, or other online services that are owned, affiliated, or controlled by Ramonia’s Petite Boutique. *

Information You Provide Directly

We may ask you to provide certain information to us when you use the website, additional channels, or offline. For example, you may give us your information when making a purchase, completing a transaction, interacting with customer service, (including live chat), and through interactive features.

 

Community Forums and User Submission

The Channels may provide you the opportunity to submit information to us, through interactive features, and other communication functionality (“Community Forums”). You may choose, through such features or otherwise, to submit or post “User Submissions” (which means all information, and content that you submit or post to the Channels, including, without limitation, photos, audio, video, messages, text, files, reviews, or other content you provide to us). Your User Submissions may also be subject to additional terms, which we may ask you to agree to when you submit a review. Some features, such as user reviews, may be operated by a third party and your postings also may be subject to the third party’s privacy policy and terms of use.

Please note that certain information, such as your name and /or place of residence, may be publicly displayed on the Channels along with your User Submissions. Note that anything you submit through a public-facing Community Forum may be made public. Others will have access to your User Submission and may use it or share it with third parties. We are not responsible for the actions of third parties and the use of your information and other User Submissions by such third parties is not subject to the protections of this privacy policy.

Social Networking Features

Functionality on the Channels may permit interactions between the Channels and a third-party service such as Facebook or Instagram (“Social Networking Features”). Examples of Social Networking Features include enabling you to “like” or “share” content from the Channels or to “like” or “share” our page on a third-party service; to show your social media posts automatically or selectively on the channels, and to otherwise connect the Channels to a third-party service. If you choose to share content or to otherwise post information through the Channels to a third-party service, or vice versa, that information may be publicly displayed. Similarly, if you post information on a third-party service that references us (for example, by using a hashtag associated with us in your post), your post may be published on the Channels or otherwise in accordance with the terms of that third party. Also, both we and the third party may have access to certain information about you and your use of the Channels and the third-party service. These third-party social networking companies may collect information about your visit to a Channel through the Social Networking Features we have integrated into the Channel, and if you are signed in to your account with such a third-party social networking company it may collect additional information in accordance with the terms of your agreement with that company. In addition, we may receive information about you if other users of a third-party service give us access to their profiles and you are one of their “connections” or information about you is otherwise accessible through your profile or similar page on a social networking or other third-party services. The information we collect in connection with Social Networking Features is subject to this privacy policy. The information collected and stored by the third party remains subject to the third party’s privacy practices, including whether the third party continues to share information with us, the types of information shared, and your choice regarding what is visible to others on that third-party service.

If you submit User Submissions or use Social Networking Features, we may publish that information or content online or offline, including in connection with our advertising, marketing, publicity, and promotional activities.

Information Provided by Third Parties

We may obtain information about you from third parties, including our third-party websites, affiliate program service providers, or other unrelated third parties.

Send to a Friend Features

We may make available on the Channels a “send-to-a-friend,” “refer a friend,” “wish list” or similar function that permits you to send Channel content directly to a third party through the Channels.

If you disclose any personal information relating to other people, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this privacy policy.
