Information Collection and How it is Used

General Information:

SLW will not sell or disclose your name or email address to third parties without your explicit consent, except as specified in this privacy policy. Your username, SLW ID or alias is displayed throughout SLW (and so available to the public) and is connected to all of your SLW activity. Other people can see your purchases, items for sale, store, feedback, ratings and associated comments.

SLW collects personal information when you register to use SLW services or to post content on SLW. At registration you are asked for your email address and certain other optional information. If you would like to obtain a Seller account, SLW will ask for your billing address, phone number, and credit card information.

SLW automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, cookies, and the pages you request. This data is only used in the aggregate. SLW uses information for the following general purposes: products and services provisioning, billing, identification and authentication, services improvement, contact, research, and anonymous reporting. IP addresses are automatically reported by your browser each time you view a web page. Your IP address is stored in SLW’s user registration databases when you register with SLW. IP addresses may be used for various research purposes.

Service-related Announcements

SLW will send you a welcome/confirmation email when you sign up for SLW’s services. Receipt of this email is required for using SLW’s services. SLW will send you service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is necessary to do so. You may not opt-out of service-related communications, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to deactivate your account by emailing support@sultrylacewigs.com from the email address you signed up with.

Administrative Messages

SLW may periodically email you with administrative messages. SLW will not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. Your information may be combined with information SLW collects from other companies and used to improve and personalize services, content and advertising. If you don’t wish to receive administrative messages or participate in these programs, simply opt-out by emailing support@sultrylacewigs.com.

Newsletter Emails

SLW offers subscriptions to SLW email newsletters. To opt-in, SLW will ask for your email address and the newsletter(s) you wish to receive. This email address will only be used for this feature. You may change your subscription or unsubscribe at anytime by following the instructions contained in the email.

Choice/Opt-out

If you no longer wish to receive administrative messages, you may opt-out by emailing support@sultrylacewigs.com. Please note that if you do not wish to receive administrative messages from us, those notices will still govern your use of the SLW website and service, and you are responsible for reviewing such notices for changes.

Cookies

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier, that is sent to your browser from a web site’s computers and stored on your computer’s hard drive. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. If you reject all cookies, you will not be able to use SLW products or services that require you to “sign in,” and you may not be able to take full advantage of the SLW service. SLW uses its own cookies for a number of purposes, including to: Access your information when you “sign in”; keep track of preferences you specify while you are using SLW’s services; display the most appropriate advertising banners, based on your interests and activity on SLW; estimate and report SLW’s total audience size and traffic; conduct research to improve SLW’s content and services. SLW cookies do not collect personal information, and SLW does not combine information collected through cookies with other personal information to tell us who you are or what your username or email address is.

Special Note About Google Advertising

Any advertisements served by Google, Inc., and affiliated companies may be controlled using cookies. These cookies allow Google to display ads based on your visits to this site and other sites that use Google advertising services. Learn how to opt out of Google’s cookie usage. As mentioned above, any tracking done by Google through cookies and other mechanisms is subject to Google’s own privacy policies.

Tracking Technologies

We employ a software technology called going up (a.k.a. going up web analytics), that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by going up to your personally identifiable information. The use of cookies by our third party tracking partners is not covered by our privacy statement. We do not have access or control over these cookies. Our partners use session ID cookies to support our site functionality such as web analytics reporting.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

When you post a message, your SLW ID or alias is visible to other users. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. SLW may be required to disclose personally identifiable information under special circumstances, such as to comply with subpoenas or when your actions violate the SLW Terms of Use. SLW may disclose personally identifiable information to parties in compliance with SLW’s Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy, as SLW in SLW’s sole discretion believes necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity. In such events, SLW may disclose name, street address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, email address and company name. SLW may share aggregated demographic information with business partners.

SLW is affiliated with a variety of businesses and works closely with them. These businesses may operate stores on the SLW website or sell items to you from the SLW website. SLW may also provide services or sell products jointly with affiliated businesses. Due to the nature of SLW’s business model, when an affiliated business is associated with your transaction, you will share customer information that is related to such transaction with that affiliated business.

SLW employs other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and needs to share your information with them to provide products and services to you. Examples include but are not limited to fulfilling orders, handling billing disputes and collections, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance and providing customer service.

SLW will not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with nonaffiliated parties except as specified in this Privacy Policy to provide products or services you have requested or when SLW has your permission. It may be necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of SLW’s Terms of Use, as specified in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise required by law. In some cases, SLW may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. SLW will transfer information about you if SLW is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, SLW will notify you by email or by putting a prominent notice on the SLW web site before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

As part of the buying and selling process, you may obtain another SLW user’s email address, shipping address and/or other information. Pursuant to SLW’s Terms of Use, you have a limited license to use this information. This information should only be used for SLW-related communications or for SLW-facilitated transactions. SLW has not granted you a license to use the information for unsolicited commercial messages. Without limiting the foregoing, without express consent from the user, you are not licensed to add any SLW user to your email or physical mail list.

Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy and SLW’s ability to keep the community free from bad actors, SLW will not otherwise disclose your personal information to law enforcement, other government officials, or other third parties without a subpoena, court order, legal process, or substantially similar legal procedure, except when SLW believes in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to protect SLW’s rights, prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss, or to report suspected illegal activity.

Minors

Only those who are 18 years or older may use SLW. Personal registration information submitted by a person under the age of 18 will not be accepted. Any general information provided by a person under the age of 18 and gathered (for instance, through the use of cookies) during his or her visit may be used as indicated in this policy. SLW is committed to protecting the privacy of children and has no intention of collecting personal data from children under the age of 18. We encourage parents and guardians of children under 18 to regularly check and monitor their children’s use of email and other activities online. If we learn or have reason to suspect that a user of SLW is under age 18, we will promptly delete any personal information in that user’s account.

Forums / Chat Rooms

If you use a forum or chat room on this site, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by others or could be used to send you unsolicited messages. SLW is not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these forums.

Third Parties / Public Information

SLW sometimes contains links to other websites. Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document addresses only the use and disclosure of information SLW collects from you. If you disclose your information to others, whether they are buyers or sellers on SLW or throughout the internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information you disclose to them. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites. We have no control over its use and the privacy policies of third parties. You are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties where applicable. SLW is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of other websites on the Internet, even those linked to or from the SLW site. You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.

Your Responsibilities

We go to great lengths to protect all of your information on our Site. To help us maintain the security of your personal information, we ask that you do not share your password with anybody. Sharing this information could put you and your rating as a buyer/seller at risk. If you lose control of your password or you think that somebody has obtained unauthorized access to your account, immediately change your password. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Editing and Deleting Account Information

You can change your SLW Account Information (except your username), at any time. SLW may send you certain communications relating to the SLW service, such as service-related announcements and administrative messages that are considered part of your SLW account. You can delete your SLW account by emailing support@sultrylacewigs.com. Please note that your identification, billing and contact information may remain in SLW’s records for some period.

SLW limits access to personal information about you to employees who SLW believes reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs. Your SLW Account Information is password-protected.

If your personal identifiable information changes, you may correct or update it by making the change on Your SLW Page. You may delete or deactivate your account by emailing Customer Support at support@sultrylacewigs.com or by postal mail at the contact information listed on this site. SLW will respond to your request within 15-20 business days.

Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. Your SLW account information is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You need to work to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer by signing off once you have finished using a shared computer. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number) for registration SLW encrypts that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). SLW follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once SLW receives it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while SLW strives to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, SLW cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on SLW’s Web site, you can email SLW at support@sultrylacewigs.com.
