PRIVACY POLICY - KATE ASPEN, INC.
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 wholesale pricing information,
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 current or
future interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites, KateAspen.com 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 message or 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 KateAspen.com to communicate
with you about your registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service
and privacy policy; services and products offered by KateAspen.com and other topics
we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by KateAspen.com 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
KateAspen.com 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 KateAspen.com,
certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through
KateAspen.com you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites,
features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. KateAspen.com 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. KateAspen.com 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 KateAspen.com and this policy.
Children
KateAspen.com does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally Identifiable Information
from or about children under 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we have
received any information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we will
delete that information immediately. If you believe KateAspen.com has any information

collected prior to the time any change is posted will be used according to the rules
and laws that applied at the time the information was collected.
