PRIVACY POLICY for
Seasonal Living Digital Designer Showhouse
Seasonal Living Trading, Ltd. Co. (“Seasonal Living”) respects your privacy and we want you to understand the ways in which we do and do not use the information you transmit when you visit our website or purchase from our warehouse, online or print catalogs, or through any other Seasonal Living venue or representative. By visiting SeasonalLiving.com or otherwise providing Seasonal Living or a Seasonal Living representative with your personal or company information, you are accepting this Privacy Policy.
The information gathered by Seasonal Living falls into two categories: (1) personally identifiable information voluntarily supplied by Buyers or other visitors to our website through optional registration, via email, or other methods, and (2) non-personally identifiable information routinely gathered as visitors navigate through our website, visit our warehouse, or otherwise interact with Seasonal Living representatives. For example, we collect information about our Buyers when a Buyer provides us with his/her name, business card or address at a trade show or allows trade show operators to collect and provide to us such information via electronic badges or otherwise, when a Buyer calls, faxes or emails Seasonal Living requesting a catalog or product information, when a Buyer (or potential Buyer) completes a form on our website under the “Contact” tab or through other websites that forward this information to us or when a Buyer places an order with Seasonal Living. Seasonal Living also collects information about Buyers and other visitors to our website through the use of “cookies” on our website. Through such interactions with Seasonal Living, Buyer may supply Seasonal Living with information such as Buyer’s name, Buyer’s company name, Buyer’s company or personal physical/mailing addresses, contact names, contact telephone numbers, shipping information and instructions, fax numbers, email addresses, financial information and credit history, Buyer’s tax identification number, credit card information, and customer product interests and preferences, or other information that our team determines is necessary or useful to our legitimate business interests.
As used herein, the term “Buyer” includes any person or entity that deals directly or indirectly with Seasonal Living, whether through the Seasonal Living website or through Seasonal Living’s employees, independent sales representatives, independent contractors or otherwise, including, without limitation, in connection with information collection, product inquiries, product purchasing, administration of orders, packaging, shipping and handling, or claims, and whether or not such person or entity actually purchases product.
By accessing the Seasonal Living Digital Designer Showhouse and agreeing to these terms, you acknowledge that third party sponsors, designers and product manufacturers that are unaffiliated with Seasonal Living may have access to your information and the information collected by Seasonal Living. Seasonal Living makes no representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to the use, processing or storage of such information by such third parties, and Seasonal Living will not be liable under any circumstances for any claims, losses, obligations, liabilities, or other damages arising out of or related to the use of or access to such information by such third parties or any products or designs offered or sold by such third parties.
COOKIES
To help make Seasonal Living’s websites more responsive to the needs of our website visitors, and to retain a visitor’s login information and online shopping cart, we invoke a standard feature found in browser software, called a “cookie”. This assigns each visitor a unique, random number, a sort of anonymous user ID that resides on the visitor’s computer. The cookie does not actually identify the visitor, just the computer that a visitor uses to access our site. Unless a visitor voluntarily identifies him or herself (through registration, for example), Seasonal Living will not know who the visitor is, even if Seasonal Living assigns a cookie to the visitor’s computer. The only personal information a cookie can contain is information the visitor supplies. A cookie cannot read data off a visitor’s hard drive. Seasonal Living’s advertisers may also assign their own cookies to a visitor’s browser, a process that Seasonal Living does not control. Visitors can set their browser not to accept cookies, but if a visitor does this, he or she may not be able to take advantage of the personalized features enjoyed by other visitors to our site.
WHEN WE COLLECT INFORMATION
