I have created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate my firm commitment to your privacy online. The following statement discloses The Professional Bump’s information gathering and dissemination practices for this web site.
Your IP Address
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website. Your IP address is used to help identify you and gather broad demographic information about you.
Cookies
Our Site uses cookies to keep track of what you have purchased. We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, to save your password so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit our Site, and for other purposes relating to your transactions on the Site. Under current legislation, websites are obliged to make users aware that they can set their computers to reject cookies. There are instructions on how to do this on www.aboutcookies.org . However, you should be aware that The Professional Bump website (in common with most other shopping websites ) will not work without cookies.
Information We Request Directly From You
In completing the various forms on the Site, you give us contact information (e.g. name, email address) and demographic information (like your postcode, age or income level). Our order forms require financial information (like your account or credit card numbers) as well.
How we use contact information
Your contact information is used to contact you when necessary in connection with transactions entered into by you on our site. Your contact information is used to send you information and offers from our company and promotional material from some of our partners. We carefully select the information we send and make sure that it offers real value to you, such as discounts or exclusive offers.
How We Use Financial Information
Financial information that is collected is used to check your qualifications and bill you for products and services.
We will not share financial or unique identifier information with third parties without your prior consent. When you make a purchase on the Site, your consent is given to provide your financial or contact information to those third parties necessary to process your transactions with us, such as credit card companies and the companies that handle shipping on our behalf.
How We Use Demographic Information
We use this information to tailor this Site to the interests of our users. This information is shared with advertisers only on an aggregate basis so that they can tailor advertisements to the appropriate audience.
Occasions When We Share Your Personal Data
Our starting point is that we do not share your personal data. However, as ever, there are some exceptions to this position.
There are only four circumstances where we may share some of your data with others:
- With agents (including credit reference agencies, credit card clearing agencies, fraud prevention and detection agencies) that we use to process the orders you place with us or who assist us in the service that we provide to you. In these instances, we provide them with only the information they need to perform their function.
- In the unlikely event that our business assets are ever sold to or purchased by another company. (Our data records are part of our business).
- To outside research companies whom we may ask to contact you directly for your opinions on our products and services (in which case we provide them with only the information they need to perform their function).
- We do occasionally make names and addresses (but never email addresses) available to companies whose products we think may interest you, unless you have told us not to. If you do not wish to receive such offers please email us at thegirls@theprofessionalbump.com with your account number, which can be found when you log into your account or in the top right hand side of any of your orders.
Data Over The Internet
The internet is a global network. There are therefore cases where your data travels internationally, which may include places outside the European Union. We want you to know that if you visit or shop with The Professional Bump, that you are agreeing and authorising us to process data in this way.
Other Sites/Third Parties And Their Privacy Policies
This Site may contain links to other sites. The Professional Bump is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites or for their privacy policies and practices of other third parties.
Your Disclosures in Chats and Message Boards etc
This Site may make available to its users, chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups at various times. Please remember that any information you disclose in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.
Our Security Precautions
This Site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Our secure server software (SSL) is the industry standard and among the best software available today, for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.
How You Can Update Your Personal Information
This Site gives users the opportunity to change and /or modify the information that you have provided to us.
