This Privacy Policy describes how CarolinaGMX (“we”/”us”) collects, stores, uses and distributes information when the User visits the Website, www.carolinagmx.com (the “Website”) and/or make purchases through our website or participate in contests offered by us. In addition to this Privacy Policy, the User must read and agree to our Terms of Use.
Collection of Information
We do not collect any personally identifiable information about the User when s/he visits the Website unless the User voluntarily provides this information, for example by subscribing to our email, submitting entries to contests, sending queries or adding comments to posts at https://carolinagmx.com. Personal information collected in these cases may include the User’s name, contact details, email addresses, telephone numbers, necessary to provide customer support and send communications such as newsletters (if s/he has opted in).
It is always the User’s choice whether to provide personal information to us and by doing so, the User acknowledges and agrees that s/he is giving us consent to use that information to respond to the User’s requests, to contact the User and to provide s/he with information about our products, services and opportunities.
We are not responsible for the republishing of the content found on this Website on other websites or media without our permission.
Third Party Sources
If the User likes us on Facebook or interacts with us through other social media sites, we may have access to some personal information (e.g. the User’s name and posts the User has liked) that is made available on those third party sites. We will only use that data in an aggregated fashion to review and improve the Website and our services.
Automatic Collection of Information
We automatically collect certain statistical and other data about Users’ visits to the Website. This information includes IP addresses, statistics on pages viewed, web browsers and operating systems. This information is not personal information and is used by us to improve the Website and our services.
Communications from The Vegan Edition
Some messages from us are automatically sent when the User subscribes to us or makes a comment. These communications cannot be opted out of by the User without unsubscribing to the particular service. However, certain communications are optional and can be opted-in and out of at the User’s discretion. If we plan to use the User’s Personal Information in future for any other purposes not identified above, we will only do so after informing the User by updating this Privacy Policy. See further the section of this Privacy Policy entitled ‘Amendment of this Policy’.
Advertisements
Advertisements appearing on the Website may be delivered by us or one or more third-party web advertisers. These third party web advertisers may set cookies. These cookies allow the advertisement server operated by that third party to recognize the User’s computer each time they send an online advertisement. Accordingly, advertisement servers may compile information about where or whether the User viewed their advertisements and which advertisements the User clicked on. This information allows web advertisers to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to the User. The Privacy Policy applies to cookies placed on the User’s computer by us, but does not cover the use of cookies by any third-party web advertisers. For the privacy practices of such third-party web advertisers, the User should consult the applicable privacy policy for the relevant third-party web advertiser(s).
Protecting Your Security
We take technical, contractual and administrative steps designed to protect the User’s Personal Information. The User is also responsible for helping to protect the security of s/he’s Personal Information.
Retention
We will keep the User’s Personal Information for as long as it remains necessary for the identified purpose or as required by law, which may extend beyond the termination of our relationship with the User. We may retain certain data as necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, or for legitimate business purposes, such as analysis of aggregated, non-personally-identifiable data, account recovery, or if required by law. All retained personal information will remain subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If the User requests that s/he be removed from our databases, it may not be possible to completely delete all Personal Information due to technological and legal constraints.
Amendment of this Policy
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. This Privacy Policy is subject to change without notice and was last updated on the 19th of August 2015. The User’s continued use of the Website signifies s/he’s acceptance of any changes.
