Hair by
Jessie Moran respects the privacy of visitors to our site. This Privacy
Policy governs the use and collection of information from you by Hair by
Jessie Moran ("we" or "us") through your use of this site. This Privacy
Policy does not apply to any information you may provide to us through other
means; for example, at a live event, via mail, or via telephone.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully so that you understand our online
privacy practices. By visiting this site, you agree that your visit, and any
dispute over our online privacy practices, is governed by this Privacy
Policy and our Visitor Agreement.
TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
The information we gather falls into two categories: (1) information (for
example, your name and address) that you voluntarily supply (for example,
when you register as a visitor to the site, or customize our service to
provide you services specific to your neighborhood), and (2) information
gathered on usage patterns and preferences as visitors navigate through our
sites. In some cases, it is an agent or affiliate of ours that collects the
information on our behalf. Third-party providers featured on or linked to by
our site, such as vendors of products and services offered through our site,
may be gathering the same kinds of information. We may use your registration
information to contact you for customer service purposes, to inform you
about the services offered over our site or of important changes or
additions to our site, and to send you newsletters, offers and information
that you request or that we think may interest you.
Contests and Other Promotions.
From time to time, we may offer contests, sweepstakes or other promotions on
our site. If you enter one of these promotions, you'll have to provide
information about yourself (such as your name, address, telephone number and
email address) so that we can contact you if you win. We may share this
information with any wholly or majority-owned subsidiary of Hair by Jessie
Moran and any co-sponsor of the promotion (we will identify any co-sponsor
in the official rules for the promotion). If you don't want us to collect
the information requested in the registration form or to provide it to any
wholly or majority-owned subsidiary of Hair by Jessie Moran or contest
co-sponsors, please do not enter the contest or sweepstakes.
Email Newsletters.
We may
offer you the opportunity to subscribe to email newsletters on topics that
we believe are of interest to our visitors. If you have opted to receive a
particular newsletter, you may always unsubscribe later if you decide not to
receive further mailings of the newsletter from us. Each newsletter will
include instructions on how to unsubscribe from future issues by using
either a designated reply email address or hyperlink.
Cookies.
To help make our sites more responsive to the needs of our visitors, we use
a standard feature of browser software, called a "cookie," to assign each
visitor a unique, random number, a sort of user ID, if you will, that
resides on your computer. The cookie doesn't actually identify the visitor,
just the computer that a visitor uses to access our site. The only personal
information a cookie can contain is information you supply. A cookie can't
read unrelated data off your hard drive. Our advertisers and the third
parties that provide products or services through our site may also assign
their own cookies to your browser, a process that we don't control. We use
cookies to help us tailor our site to your needs, to deliver a better, more
personalized service. For example, we may use cookies to allow you to search
for those businesses closest to your home. In addition, we may use cookies
to track the pages on our site visited by our users. We can build a better
site if we know which pages our users are visiting and how often. Of course,
you can set your browser not to accept cookies, but if you do, you may not
be able to take advantage of the personalized features enjoyed by other
visitors to our site.
Other Methods of Collecting Information.
Our web pages may contain electronic images (called "single-pixel GIFs" or
"web beacons") that allow us and our vendors to count users who have visited
particular pages or to access certain cookies. We may use these tools and
other technologies to recognize which pages users visit, and which links
they click on. These features may also be included in our email newsletters
so that we can learn which messages have been opened and acted upon. We may
also be able to verify your online purchases from us or from third party
sites that have agreed to share such information with us.
Browser Level Information and IP Addresses.
Our web servers automatically collect limited information about your
computer configuration when you visit our site, including the type of
browser software you use, the operating system you're running, the
resolution of your computer monitor, the Web site that referred you, and
your IP address. (Your IP address is a numerical address that is used by
computers connected to the Internet to identify your computer so that data
such as the web pages you want to view can be transmitted to you.) We also
use IP address information for systems administration and troubleshooting
purposes. Your IP address does not tell us who you are. We use this
information to deliver web pages to you upon request, to tailor our site to
the interests of our users, and to measure traffic within our site.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
Why we want to know.
We collect information in order to make the Web site more useful and
relevant to you. For example, we may ask you for an address so that you can
map a route from your work or home address to that of a service provider, or
so you can narrow your search to businesses that serve your neighborhood.
Third Parties.
We will not share the personally-identifiable information you provide when
registering on our site with third parties. We may, however, take the
information you provide and aggregate it with data from all the other people
that use this site and associated services. Then we would use that pool of
information to inform third parties about our audience without identifying
you personally. For example, we'll be able to say to a third party: "We have
3,470 site visitors in this ZIP code," which happens to be your location.
Vendors and Provider Partners.
To make our sites more valuable to our visitors, we may offer some features
in conjunction with other providers ("Provider Partners"). Our email
newsletters, email services and online classifieds for example, may be made
available through cooperative arrangements with providers that specialize in
operating such services. In some instances, our Provider Partners will have
the same access to your information as we do. Their use of the information
will be subject to the terms of their respective privacy policies, which you
can find on their Web sites. We may also use vendors and third-party
contractors to help us operate our site, analyze or process data on our
behalf, or improve the services that we offer to you. We may provide these
vendors and contractors with information about our visitors that is
necessary for them to perform the services that we request.
Statistical Information.
Much of the information we collect is in the form of aggregated statistics,
such as the traffic that visits various pages within our sites, and the
habits and preferences of our audience. Such aggregated information does not
include any information that would identify you personally. We may use such
aggregated information and disclose it to third parties as we see fit.
Sites to Which We Link.
Our site includes links to plenty of other Web sites, and provides access to
services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we don't control.
When you access another site or purchase products or services or conduct
other transactions through our sites, use of any information you provide is
governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you're visiting
or the provider of such products or services.
Other Disclosures.
We may occasionally release information about our visitors when release is
appropriate to comply with law, to enforce our Visitor Agreement, or to
protect the rights, property or safety of visitors to our sites, the public,
our customers, or our company and its employees, agents, partners and
affiliates. As our business grows, we may buy or sell various assets. In the
unlikely event that our company, or the bulk of our assets relating to this
site, is acquired by another company, information on our visitors would be
among the transferred assets.
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Children should always get permission from their parents before sending any
information about themselves (such as their names, email addresses, and
phone numbers) over the Internet, to us or to anyone else. We won't
knowingly allow anyone under 18 to register with our site, to provide
business information to our site, or to provide any other personally
identifying information. If you're under 18, please do not provide us with
any personally identifying information about yourself (such as your name,
your email address or your phone number).
STORAGE OF INFORMATION
All information gathered on our site is stored within a database operated by
us or by a contractor on our behalf. Sensitive information, such as password
or information, is encoded (not encrypted) for storage. We cannot guarantee
the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information you
supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.
CHANGES TO
THIS PRIVACY POLICY
A final note: The Web is an evolving medium. If we need to change our
privacy policy at some point in the future, we'll post the changes before
they take effect.
