Unique Touche Privacy Policy

At Unique Touche, we highly respect your privacy.  We want you to fully understand how we use and protect your personal information, so please read this Privacy Policy.

Overview

This Privacy Policy describes the personal information we collect from you, in the normal course of providing services to you through our website under the domain and subdomains of www.uniquetouche.com and how the information is used.  Personal information includes but is not limited to such personal data as name, mailing address, email address and phone number, which is otherwise not publicly available.  We are not responsible for the policies and acts of companies that we do not own or control or for the people that we do not employ or manage.

By visiting this website, you expressly agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.  By accepting the Privacy Policy, you expressly consent to our use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time.  We suggest you review our Privacy Policy periodically to note any amendments.  We last updated our Privacy Policy on November 1, 2006.

1.  A Special Note about Minors

Minors (persons under the age of 18) are eligible to use our website only in conjunction with and under the supervision of their parents or legal guardians.  We request that minors do not provide any personal information to us.

2.  Collection and Use of Personal Information

We collect personal information from you in the normal course of providing services to you at various places on our web site so that you may enjoy a safe, efficient, customized and satisfying experience whether you are browsing or shopping.

We track automatically how you navigate through our website by receiving and recording information on our server logs from your browser.  The information may include your IP address, ISP, browser type, machine type, date and time, the URL page from where you came and the URL page to where you go next.   The information is used to help us analyze our users’ demographics, activities and interests so we can continue to improve our services.  We may also use “cookies” to enable certain customizations to our website so as to satisfy some of your preferences, facilitate transactions which you request and advance product and service offerings to better suit your needs.  A “cookie” is a small data file stored on the user's computer. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session ID cookie is automatically deleted when you close your browser.

3.  Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, rent or share any of your personal information with anyone.  However, in the normal course of providing our services to you, we may disclose your personal information under the following circumstances.

We outsource to third parties, whom we refer to as service providers, one or more aspects of the business, product and service operations that we provide to you (such as shopping, bill collection). We may provide some of your personal information directly to these service providers, who are subject to confidentiality agreements with us and other legal restrictions that prohibit their use of the information we provide them for any other purpose except to facilitate the specific outsourced operation, unless you have granted your prior permission to them for additional uses.  In some instances, the service provider may collect information directly from you.  In such cases, you will be notified of the service provider’s involvement and all additional information you provide them and their additional uses will be entirely your responsibility.  If you provide additional information to a service provider directly, then their use of your personal information is governed by their applicable privacy policy.

The service that powers our online catalog and store for shopping is provided by kLocal, Inc.  If you browse through our catalog, shop or conduct any other activity within our online store, you may want to review kLocal’s privacy policy at www.klocal.com

We may disclose your personal information to law enforcement and other third parties in response to subpoenas, court orders, legal procedures, to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.  We may disclose your personal information to law enforcement and other third parties when we believe in good faith such disclosure is necessary to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, intellectual property infringement, potential physical harm to any person, violations of our User Agreement, or as otherwise required by law.

In light of the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personal information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.  For example: we may be forced to provide personal information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances; third parties may illegally intercept or access private communications; or  third parties may abuse personal information they collect from our website.  Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private.

4. Third Parties

This Privacy Policy only addresses the use and collection of information we collect from you.  When you disclose your information to other parties, different rules may apply to the use or disclosure of the information you disclose to them.  Since we do not control the privacy policies of third parties, you are subject to their privacy policies.  You should always exercise caution and common sense before you disclose any personal information to others.
