What type of information does Blink gather from me and how is it used?
It is Blink’s policy to collect only that information that Blink needs to meet our customer's needs to fulfill purchase orders, conduct our business efficiently, and communicate special or specific offers to you. In doing this, Blink gathers only two different types of information from your visit to our website.
The first type of information we collect about you is personally identifiable information, such as, your name, phone number, mailing address, zip code, e-mail address and payment information. This type of information may be provided as part of a purchase process or credit card application and allows us to process and fulfill your order and notify you of your order status. Other examples of personally identifiable information we collect only if you subscribe to our e-mail program are your buying habits, age, gender and information concerning your interests in various merchandise, programs and services.
The second type is non-personally identifiable information. This type of information may include your IP (web) address, browser type, domain name, and specific Blink web pages that you visit or click through. This information is gathered in order to assist Blink in enhancing the website experience of its customers and visitors. This data is collected automatically and utilized in aggregate to help us consider trends so that we can improve our Website and your Blinkcouture.com experience. Blink may notify you about it's promotions or to seek your voluntary participation in customer surveys.
Blink does not seek to collect such information from persons under the age of 18. If you are under the age of 18, please do not submit any such information to us. If you are the parent or guardian of a person under the age of 18 who has provided such information to us, please inform us (through the Website or telephone number listed above) and we will remove such information from our database as described further below.
In addition, no person (of any age) is required to provide us with the personally identifiable information we request. If you do not wish to provide such information, you are free not to do so. Your provision of requested information to us through our Website or other means is presumed by us to be voluntary and with your consent to the uses described herein. If after submitting personally identifiable information to us, you wish to "opt-out," please contact us as noted above and we will remove your information from our database. Please know that such a decision will not stop advertising or content that is generated prior to the time when we can accomplish the removal of your information.
Blink uses the information you provide to us to customize advertising and content that we present to you, to contact you concerning specials and new products and to enhance our product offerings. Blink will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to any third party except when:
• You have been given an opportunity to "opt out" of sharing the information and have declined to exercise that right within the time period provided;
• Blink must share the information in order to provide a product or service that you have requested, in which case we will demand that any third party we use to fulfill your order agree that it does not have the right to use the personally identifiable information other than to fulfill your request; or
• Blink is required to respond to subpoena, court orders or other legal process requiring such disclosure.

Managing Your Information
You are entitled to request access to and correction of all your personal data collected by us via this Website, as well as to require us to delete your data if you no longer want us to process it.

Security
Blink employs reasonable measures to maintain all personally identifiable information provided by you on computer servers in a controlled and secured environment in an effort to hinder unauthorized access, loss, alteration, use or disclosure of such information.

This may mean that personal data is transferred to countries which do not have laws or regulations which protect personal data, such as the United States, where the server for this Website is located. We use reasonable measures to limit the disclosure of the data you provide to us only to certain staff within Blink and its affiliates (i.e. staff whose job it is to process your inquiries and survey answers or otherwise to administer the Website, and those staff involved in the provision of Blink services and products which may be of interest to you) and to require that they process the data only for the purposes identified in this Policy.
