Privacy Policy

BLUE ANTOINETTE GROUP (“Blue Antoinette”) operates www.blueantoinette.com and may operate other websites. It is Blue Antoinettes policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Blue Antoinette collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Blue Antoinettes purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Blue Antoinettes visitors use its website. From time to time, Blue Antoinette may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Blue Antoinette also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on www.blueantoinette.com blogs/sites. Blue Antoinette only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Blue Antoinettes websites choose to interact with Blue Antoinette in ways that require Blue Antoinette to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Blue Antoinette gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at http://www.blueantoinette.com/my-account/ to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Blue Antoinette are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Blue Antoinette collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Blue Antoinette. Blue Antoinette does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Blue Antoinette may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Blue Antoinette may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Blue Antoinette does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Blue Antoinette discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Blue Antoinettes behalf or to provide services available at Blue Antoinettes websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Blue Antoinettes websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Blue Antoinette will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Blue Antoinette discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Blue Antoinette believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Blue Antoinette, third parties or the public at large.

If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Blue Antoinette takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
