Introduction
This privacy policy is designed to detail how Bellasuits, operating on www.bellasuits.com, manages the information we collect from our users. It is applicable only to the data gathered through our website and does not extend to any offline information collection. By using our site, you are indicating your consent to the terms and conditions set forth in this privacy policy, as well as to our processing of your personal information for the purposes described below. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, we kindly request that you refrain from using the site.
A. Information Collected
1. Personally Identifiable Information
"Personally Identifiable Information" refers to details that can uniquely identify you. This includes your name, date of birth, address, telephone number, email address, or company name. Bellasuits collects and stores the personally identifiable information you provide to us. Here are some common scenarios where we may gather such information:
- Account Registration: When you register for or create an account on our site, we may collect your name, address, email address, telephone number, and/or fax number. This information is crucial for us to provide you with a personalized shopping experience, manage your orders, and communicate with you regarding your purchases.
- Newsletter Sign - up: If you sign up for our online newsletter, we will collect your email address, first and last name, and zip code. This allows us to keep you informed about the latest trends in men's suits, new product launches, exclusive discounts, and other relevant information.
- Contacting Us: When you reach out to us with a question, we will collect your name and email address. This enables us to respond to your inquiries promptly and effectively, ensuring that your concerns are addressed.
- Contests and Sweepstakes: If you choose to participate in a contest or sweepstakes on our site, we may collect your first and last name, date of birth, and email address. This information is used to manage the entry process, determine eligibility, and contact you if you are a winner.
- Purchases: When you make a purchase of a product or service from Bellasuits, we will collect your first and last name, your address, and your credit card and billing information. This is essential for processing your payment, fulfilling your order, and ensuring the security of your transaction.
If you do not wish for Bellasuits to collect your personally identifiable information, please refrain from providing it to us. However, some services or features on our site may not be available to you without this information.
We regularly communicate with users who subscribe to our services via email and text message. For example, we use your email address or phone number to confirm your requests, send you payment notices, inform you about changes to our products and services, and provide latest discount promotion information as well as other disclosures required by law. Generally, users cannot opt - out of these essential communications as they are necessary for the proper functioning of our services. However, these messages are mainly informational in nature rather than promotional.
Nevertheless, we offer you the option to opt - out if you do not want to receive other types of communication from us. This includes emails or text messages about new sales, products, or if you do not want us to share your personally identifiable information with third parties. You can exercise this opt - out choice by ticking or un - ticking the appropriate box (if available) when the personally identifiable information is being collected. Alternatively, you can contact us directly. We will process your unsubscribe request as quickly as possible, but be aware that in some cases, you may receive a few more messages before the unsubscribe is fully processed. You can also opt - out of receiving such emails by clicking on the "unsubscribe" link within the body of the email.
2. Non - Personally Identifiable Information
"Non - Personally Identifiable Information" encompasses technical details and demographic information that does not directly identify you. This can include your age, gender, interests, as well as information like your IP address or cookies. Here's how we collect and use such information:
- Internet Protocol (IP) Address: Your IP address is a numerical identifier that enables computers on the Internet to send data to you, such as the web pages you view. We use this information to deliver our web pages to you when you request them. Additionally, we analyze IP addresses to tailor our site to the interests of our users. For example, if we notice that a large number of users from a particular region are interested in a specific type of suit, we can focus on promoting or developing more products in that category. We also use IP address data to measure traffic within our site, helping us understand which pages are most popular and where we may need to improve user experience.
- Cookie: A "cookie" is a small text file that can be used to gather information about your activity on our site. When you visit a page on bellasuits.com, a cookie may be placed on your device (if your browser settings allow it). If you've visited our site before, the cookie can be read. Cookies help us remember your preferences, such as your preferred language or size chart, making your subsequent visits more convenient. You can configure most browsers to notify you when you receive a cookie or to block cookies altogether. However, if you choose to block cookies, you may not be able to access certain personalized features on our site. Some of the cookies we use may be flash cookies or Adobe cookies. These cookies are harmless and may contain demographic information. Depending on your browser, these cookies may not be deleted when you clear your regular cookies. You should check your browser settings to find out where these types of cookies are stored and how to delete them if you wish.
- Demographic Information: This includes details like your gender, age, zip code, and interests that you voluntarily provide on our site. We use this information to offer you personalized services. For instance, if you indicate an interest in formal wedding suits, we can send you targeted promotions and new product information related to that category. We also analyze demographic information in aggregate to understand trends and ensure that the content and products we offer on our site meet the diverse needs of our users. Aggregated information, which cannot be traced back to an individual, is also considered non - personally identifiable information.
We collect this non - personally identifiable information from all visitors to our site. If you do not want Bellasuits to have access to this information, please do not visit our site.
