We, at Celebrating-Dot Com Women, respect your privacy! Any and all information collected at this site will be kept strictly confidential and will not be sold, reused, rented, loaned, or otherwise disclosed. Any information you give to Dot Com Women will be secure and private, and will not be used in ways that you have not consented to.

Dot Com Women collects personally identifying information only during (a) a contest or Registration, (b) a subscription or Registration for services that require subscription, and (c) online shopping. In addition, Registration is required and information is collected in certain sections of our site in which guests provide content submissions and suggestions or participate in interactive online activities. Dot Com Women may use such information to award prizes, track compliance with our Terms and Conditions, or for editorial and feedback purposes (to the extent that it is explained when guests provide the information).

Personal information you provide to Dot Com Women will not be disclosed in whole or in part to any third parties, with the exception that Dot Com Women may be obligated to disclose user information to comply with applicable local, state and federal laws, in cooperation with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities, or in legal proceedings where such information is relevant.

(If you use more than one e-mail address to shop with us, send us this message from each e-mail account you use.) We may share aggregate user information that does not identify individual users with our reputable business partners, advertisers, and sponsors. In this scenario we might share information with a partner that X percent of men and Y percent of women use a particular service at Dot Com Women. Again, this is done using non-personal and non-identifiable information.

We may share aggregate user information that does not identify individual users with our reputable business partners, advertisers, and sponsors.

Links to Other Sites

Users should be aware that when you are on Dot Com Women you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites from Dot Com Women that take you outside our site. For example, if you click on a banner the click takes you off Dot Com Women. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors, and partners that may use Dot Com Women’s logo as part of a co-branding or sponsorship agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, or otherwise collect data or solicit personal information. Always be aware of where you end up while browsing.

About IP Addresses

Dot Com Women collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. An IP address is a number that’s automatically assigned to your computer whenever you’re surfing the Web. Web servers — the big computers that “serve” up Web pages — automatically identify your computer by its IP address.

When guests request pages from Dot Com Women, our servers log the guests’ IP addresses. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means that a user’s session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us.

By showing how and when guests use the site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies.
