Privacy Policy

Van Elle respects the privacy of every individual who visits our website. The purpose of our Privacy Policy is to outline the information Van Elle may collect and how we may use that information.

In addition, where applicable, we will place more specific information and, where appropriate, tick boxes or option buttons to express your preferences on those pages where we request personal information from you.

As technology continues to develop, our Privacy Policy may need changing in order to provide the best possible service to our site visitors. We recommend that you check and make sure you have read the most recent policy statement when you visit our website.

Use of Information

Van Elle only collects personally identifiable information about you (i.e. your name, address etc.) through our website when voluntarily submitted by you, the visitor. Visitors may choose to submit personal information to obtain information or submit a comment. Providing personal information is up to you. If you do not want your personal information collected, please do not submit it to us. We also offer visitors an "opt-out" option at any time they wish to cease receiving emails or other information from us.

Your personal data submitted by you on this web site will be added to any data which you may have previously submitted either by web or paper submission.

The data is held and used for direct marketing purposes where you have selected to receive this information.

The data will be retained for as long as you provide this permission. It is the responsibility of the individual to contact Van Elle in order to maintain or delete the data.

Links

The Van Elle website may contain hypertext links to other sites, which are not under the control of the Company. Whilst we make every effort to link only to sites that share our standards, we cannot be held responsible for the contents and privacy policies of such sites.

Security

Security measures are in place to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of the information received from our online visitors, and to make such information as secure as possible against unauthorised access and use.

Additional information collected

Occasionally, we may collect technical information automatically when you connect to our site, which is not personally identifiable. An example of this would include the type of Internet Browser or the type of computer you are using, or the domain name of the website from which you linked to our site.

We use IP addresses only to obtain non-personal information from on-line visitors to provide them with the best possible personalised on-line experience. To do this, we keep track of the type of browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Netscape) and operating system (e.g. Windows, Macintosh) used by the visitor, and the domain name of the visitor's Internet Service Provider. We also track the total number of visitors to our site in an aggregate form to allow us to update and improve our site; personally identifiable information is not extracted in this process. This helps us to keep our site fresh and interesting to the majority of our visitors.

If you wish to see the information which Van Elle and associated companies hold about you: Send your request in writing to the UK Internet Manager and enclose a cheque for £10 made payable to "Van Elle". You will receive a response within 28 working days.
