PRIVACY POLICY

Chigazola Merchants has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy.  The following discloses the information gathering and dissemination practices of Chigazola Merchants.

1. We may collect personally identifiable information from you, such as your name, email address or mailing address, when you visit the Web Site, or when you download any of the images, graphics or text material (“Material”) on the Web Site or email us with a question or concern. All references to 'our', 'us', 'we', ‘Chigazola Merchants’ or ‘Web Site’ within this policy are deemed to refer to Chigazola Merchants and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

2.  Chigazola Merchants will not share, rent or sell your personally identifiable information to any non-affiliated organization or company without your consent. However, we may disclose your personally identifiable information under limited circumstances if we conclude we are required by law to do so or have a good faith belief that access, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of Chigazola Merchants, its customers or the public.

3.  All of the customer data we collect is stored on a secured server to protect against unauthorized access. Chigazola Merchants takes information security very seriously and uses reasonable administrative, technical, physical and managerial measures to protect your personally identifiable information from unauthorized access. Unfortunately, no security system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of your personally identifiable information and cannot assume liability for improper access to it.

4.  Chigazola Merchants will track visits to the pages and links on our Web Site so we can make decisions about the design and usage of the Web Site. While we may choose to share aggregate information, such as statistics, on consumer behavior to third parties, none of this aggregate information contains personally identifiable information.

5.  Our Web Site may use cookies to enable us to recognize users who have previously visited the Web Site when they return to the Web Site. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but most allow you to prevent that by making a change to your browser options. Even without a cookie, you can still use most of the features on our Web Site.

6.  Protecting the privacy of the young is of paramount importance. We never collect or maintain information from those we actually know are under the age of 21, and no part of our Web Site is directed at or designed to attract anyone under the age of 21.

7.  Chigazola Merchants may provide links to web sites owned or operated by parties other than Chigazola Merchants whose policies regarding the handling of personally identifiable information may differ from ours. Chigazola Merchants is not responsible for the information handling practices of these other web sites. These linked web sites have separate and independent privacy policies and terms of use, which we urge you to read carefully. 

8.  From time to time, Chigazola Merchants will contact our registered users who have opted in to be e-mailed with promotional information that we feel would be applicable to, and desired by that user. At any time a user wishes to opt-out of these e-mails, they may do so by contacting info@chigazolamerchants.com. Once opted-out, the user will not receive any further communication from us, aside from any system messages that are necessary to that user in specific transactions, such as e-commerce order summaries.

9.  On occasion, Chigazola Merchants may sponsor sweepstakes and other promotions that are managed by third-party organizations. Information and data gathered in those instances will be held by the third-party and will normally be shared with Chigazola Merchants. Once shared with Chigazola Merchants that data and information is subject to Chigazola Merchants' stated privacy policy. However, information and data retained by the third-party will be subject to the privacy policy stated by the third-party, and Chigazola Merchants has no responsibility for the third-party's actions.

10.  By using our Web Site, you consent to the guidelines described in this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use and the Shipping Policy. The provisions of this Privacy Policy are subject to change. Chigazola Merchants will post changes to the Privacy Policy on this page. We encourage you to check this page regularly, as your continued use of this Web Site following any changes to this Privacy Policy will be deemed to constitute your acceptance of such change.

11. This Privacy Policy is effective as of March 30, 2013.
