Respecting and protecting the privacy of users of kathyscurvycorner.com (Our ''Site'') is of great importance to us at Kathy's Curvy Corner. This notice describes our policies of information collection and our use practices with respect to Our Site, and highlights choices you may have about the way we use and share such information. Please read and understand this policy so that you can understand how we use your personal information. Please be aware that if you use our Site, register in any fashion in connection with our Site, or participate in a survey, contest, sweepstakes, or other promotion available on Our Site, you are agreeing to both the terms of our privacy policies and our Terms of Use on Our Site, each as in effect from time to time. Please also be aware we reserve the right at our discretion to make changes to this policy at any time, and all such changes shall be immediately applicable. Please check this page periodically for changes. Our privacy policies and information collection and use practices in connection with Our Site may vary from related policies and practices related to our offline activities such as our stores and our offline marketing activities.

On Our Site, you may purchase merchandise, participate in our community features like chat rooms or bulletin boards, become a registered user, maintain a “wish list” or store other information on Our Site, enter sweepstakes and contests, participate in surveys and polls, e-mail or instant message, subscribe to a service, or enroll to receive certain entertainment or information. We may need or request certain types of personally identifiable information (i.e. information that can directly identify you or indicate where you might be contacted, such as name, address, date of birth, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, and credit card information) and collect it in connection with these various activities and offerings. We do not consider indications of your interests, likes and dislikes, or general characteristics such as clothing size or hair color, to be personally identifiable information unless it is somehow grouped with other information so as to permit identification of you specifically; but from time to time we collect such information also, in order to provide you better service or to get to know our user base and its general traits.

Sometimes you can submit information about other people. For example, you might submit a person's name and e-mail address to send an electronic gift certificate and, if you order a gift online and want it sent directly to a friend, you might submit the friend's name and address, should we be offering that service. The types of personally identifiable information that may be collected about other people at these pages may include: recipient's name, address, date of birth, e-mail address and telephone number.

We use personally identifiable information for various purposes. For example, we may use information you provide to process your purchases of merchandise or to provide for merchandise delivery to your home. As a registered user, you provide us with information that we maintain and reference as part of our attempts to provide better and more personalized service to you. We might also use online registries or other databases to permit you to use and participate in certain portions in or features of our Site. We also use information users provide to conduct sweepstakes and contests, notify you if you win, and fulfill prizes or awards. In addition, unless you tell us not to, we like to provide you with certain information about our merchandise, sales or other offerings, and other marketing materials designed to help you use our Site and visit our stores with more information. We also use such information to make our online marketing and other communications with you more efficient. Similarly, we may use personally identifiable information in connection with certain of our activities with our partners, such as marketing efforts, co-sponsorships, and other initiatives. We also collect this information as may be reasonably necessary for tracking/verifying compliance with federal, state and local laws or for editorial and feedback solicitation purposes.

We may from time to time augment information you give us with information from other sources, such as information validating your address. Thus, information we obtain through Our Site may be intermingled with and used in conjunction with information obtained through sources other than Our Site, including both offline and online sources.

We never share personal information given to us with third parties except on the need to complete a transaction (ie: transfer to secure server to complete financial transaction)

We may offer e-mail services, contests, sweepstakes, or promotions that are sponsored by or co-sponsored with non-affiliated companies. Based on our agreement with them, these third parties may obtain personally identifiable information that site visitors voluntarily submit to participate in the contest, sweepstakes, or promotion. We have no control over the use of this information by these companies.

We strive to make sure your preferences are respected. Therefore, you can tell us if you don’t want us to share your personal information with third parties (other than in connection with administration of Our Site or use over which we have no control, as described above) and we will do our best to respect that. In any event, when you receive e-mails or other communications from us our our partners, you should have the ability to “opt out” of receiving any further such communications, and we encourage you to exercise those rights should you see fit. You can just tell us what you want by contacting:

We use cookies to help us “remember” who you are, to ease navigation of Our Site, and to help target merchandise and other offerings to suit your personal interests, as well as for more general reasons such as gauging audience size and analyzing visitor patterns. We also may contract with third parties who may use cookies and collect such information on our behalf. You can usually set your browser to not accept cookies or to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. But be aware that if you disable cookies we may not be able to provide you with service on our Site as tailored and targeted as possible.

We are committed to treating your personal information with high standards of information security. We work hard to maintain the security and accuracy of personally identifiable information we collect, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to our database servers, as well as employing electronic security systems and password protections that guard against unauthorized access. We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your credit card information as it is transmitted to us. Our customer service center and stores operate over a private, secure network. Please note that e-mail is not encrypted and is not considered to be a secure means of transmitting credit card information.

We are not responsible for the content or privacy policy of those sites. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data or solicit personal information.

Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information online -- for example, via message boards -- that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. While we strive to protect personal information provided to us and our users’ privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit online and you do so at your own risk.

Our policy does not extend to anything inherent in the operation of the Internet, and is therefore beyond our control.
