Information We Collect
Elquinique collects two types of information during your visits to our Site:
Non-personally Identifiable Information - when visitors come to our Site, we collect information concerning which pages of the Site were visited, the order in which they were visited, and which links were accessed. Collecting such information involves logging the IP addresses, operating system and browser information used by each site visitor. It may be possible to determine from an IP address a visitor’s Internet Service Provider and the geographic location of the visitor’s connectivity.
We also use “cookies” to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that is stored by your Web browser on your computer. Cookies make it possible for us to recognize your browser when you visit our Site.
Personally Identifiable Information - we collect personally identifiable information when you place an order, such as your name, e-mail address, physical address, telephone number, and credit card information. Further, when you use the Site to purchase a gift certificate, we will collect from you personally identifiable information regarding the gift recipient.
How We Use Collected Information
Non-personally Identifiable Information - Elquinique uses non-personally identifiable information, such as your IP address and the pages that you visit on our Site, to help diagnose problems with our servers and improve Site-related features. Your IP address and other non-personally identifiable information also may be used to recognize visitor traffic patterns and usage.
Personally Identifiable Information - Elquinique uses personally identifiable information collected from you to complete transactions and to contact you when necessary. Financial information (credit card numbers, credit card expiration dates, billing address, etc) is used to bill you for products purchased on this Site. Elquinique does not seek to collect such information from persons under 18 years of age. If you are under the age of 18, please do not submit any such information to us.
Gift Recipients
We collect personally identifiable information regarding gift recipients. We do not sell or rent any personally identifiable information that you provide to us regarding such persons, but gift recipients may receive marketing offers. Gift recipients may choose to opt out of any future marketing-related mailings.
Service Providers
We work with third parties who provide services, including (but not limited to) Web site hosting, credit card clearance, e-commerce affiliation, e-mailing and other administrative services. We may use selected reputable third parties for marketing purposes. Some of these third parties may be given access to some of the information that you provide to us and may use cookies in connection with providing their services.
Non-marketing Uses
Subject to applicable law, we reserve the right to release information concerning any Site visitors suspected of partaking in any illegal activity, in response to civil subpoenas and discovery requests, to protect the interests of Elquinique, our customers or others, and as otherwise permitted or required by law.
Links to Other Sites
Occassionally, Elquinique may provide links on our Web site to other sites. These sites operate independently of Elquinique and have established their own privacy and security policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any sites that you visit.
How We Use E-mail
When you provide us with your e-mail address, we may send you e-mails necessary to process your order or respond to a request. For example, after you place an order at elquinique.com, you will receive an e-mail confirmation. Recipients of our gift certificates will receive an e-mail notifying them of the gift and instructing them how to redeem it. If you elect to receive our promotional e-mails, instructions on how to unsubscribe are included in each marketing e-mail.
Security
Elquinique employs reasonable measures to maintain all personally identifiable information in a secured environment to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information collected. We use a variety of current technologies for protection of customer data. We limit the information we provide to outside companies with whom we contract to only what they need to carry out their responsibilities. When you make a purchase on our Site, your transactional information is transmitted in a safe, encrypted format. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
