Last updated: June 14, 2005
I LOVE YOGA knows that privacy is important to you, and we appreciate your trust that we will take the utmost care and respect of the information you provide to us. The following is our policy regarding your privacy and the security of your information. If you have any unanswered questions, please contact us at info@ILOVEYOGA.com .
What are the types of information we gather?
We gather certain pieces of information with the goal of serving you as effectively as possible. The types of information we collect include:
Information you provide to us: When you place an order with us, we receive and store your name, mailing address, telephone number, email address and credit card information in order to fulfill your order. Though it is not required that you create an account with us to place an order, if you chose to do so, we will save a password that you select with your records so that you can have access to special services and can have a speedier checkout in the future.
Note: If you do not specifically type personal information into text fields and submit the information on our website, there is no method for us to gather personal information.
Information gathered automatically: Like many websites, our site uses cookies which are tiny text files used to store information about our visitors such as preferences including whether you want our site to recognize you when you visit us again. These cookie files are harmless and in no way impact the operation of your computer. Additionally, cookies do not contain personal or private information but instead allow us to recognize your computer and provide features to improve your visit to our website.
Because cookies allow you to take advantage of our personalized services, we recommend you leave them turned on. However, we will not prevent you from shopping at our store if you decide to turn your cookies off. For more information about how to prevent your browser from accepting cookies or how to have the browser notify you when you receive a cookie, check the Help portion of your toolbar (provided by most browsers).
We also collect data on an aggregate basis. For instance, we may use fragments of software code from certain search engines to learn how our advertising performs. We may also analyze our server logs and gather click-stream data to learn how visitors, in general, use our site. This information is anonymous and utilized so we may improve our site to meet customer needs.
Information gathered through email communication: If your computer supports such capabilities and you are subscribed to our newsletter, we will receive a confirmation when you open our email. We use this information to help determine the best content that will meet your needs. In addition, we solicit subscriptions both on and off our website, and will compare these lists as necessary to determine if you have been subscribed more then once. This process helps us insure we are not sending duplicate communications to our customers.
How can you can access and edit your registration information?
I LOVE YOGA makes it easy for you to access and edit your registration information. If you have created an account with us, you may modify your information at anytime by clicking the My Account link located in the header of every page.
How do we protect your information?
I LOVE YOGA is committed to protecting the information that you share with us. While no computer system is completely secure, we believe we take all measures reasonable to insure that your information is protected. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Verisign encryption technology, digital certificates, secure commerce servers, and authentication processes.
When you enter your name, address and credit card information during checkout, it is transmitted to us via SSL, an encryption technology that functions with all modern browsers. This industry standard web technology is the preferred method for securing private information during transmission.
All personal and private information is stored in a password-protected, secure database on a server that is inaccessible to the public. If you create an account with us during checkout, we will request your credit card information, but it is not stored with your account information. It is only used to process your order. We strongly advise you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. When using a shared computer, be sure to log off your account on our website when you complete your visit. To do this, simply click on the "logout" button found in the My Account section of the site.
Finally, we have practices and procedures in place in our physical facilities to protect all user and customer information. Only those employees that require access to your information to get their job done are given such access.
Do we share your information with third parties?
The information that you provide to us is an important part of our business, and so we protect it as such. We do not sell any customer information, nor do we share it with outside parties that are not involved with fulfilling your order or protecting your information. The information you provide to us is managed as though it were offered for the sole purpose of conducting business with I LOVE YOGA. As such, we share customer information only as described below:
Service Providers: We use various companies to make our website operate as smoothly as possible. For example, we may use third parties to host our website, send emails, analyze data, and assist in shipping your orders. Information is only disclosed to these service providers on a need-to-know basis and they will only be permitted to use such information for the purpose of providing the particular services in connection with our website.
Advertising Partners: We may use third party advertising companies to serve ads external to our site on our behalf. These companies may employ cookies and action tags to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect is completely anonymous.
Legal Entities: There may be rare cases were we will need to release customer information in order to comply with legal requirements or to investigate misuse of our website. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Why do we ask for your email address?
Though we ask for your email address, we use it for the sole purposes of corresponding with you about your order, or to send you information that you have asked to receive. We do not share your email address with outside or third parties.
To contact you regarding your order: In order to complete your first purchase with us, you will be asked to provide us with your email address. We may use your email address or phone number to contact you if we have questions about your order. In addition, we will use your email address to send you a confirmation that your order has been received and a notification when the order is shipped.
To send you our opt-in newsletter: We offer an email newsletter which features exclusive offers and "first looks" for those of you that ask for it. These emails are sent only to those customers who have chosen to receive them (opted-in). If you have subscribed and no longer wish to receive our email newsletter, you may unsubscribe by sending an email to info@ILOVEYOGA.com . Logging into our website, or completing a purchase does not obligate you in any way to receive this newsletter.
To send you information regarding new services or special promotional programs: On rare occasions, we may contact you regarding new services or special promotional programs that we believe would benefit you.
