data protection

This website is following the UK Law
This privacy policy applies only to www.BMbridal.de. This privacy policy does not apply to information collected offline. BY USING THE WEBSITE, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND TO OUR PROCESSING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSES SET FORTH. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE WEBSITE.
A. collected information
This privacy policy applies only to information collected on the website and does not apply to information collected by BMbridal.de in any other way.
We collect two types of information from visitors to the Site: (1) Personally Identifiable Information; and (2) Non-Personally Identifiable Information, such as your IP address or cookies.
(1) Personally identifiable information
"Personally Identifiable Information" is the information that personally identifies you, such as your name, date of birth, address, telephone number, email address or company name. BMbridal.com collects and stores your submitted personally identifiable information. Here are some examples of conduct in which we would collect your personally identifiable information on the Site:
• We may collect your name, address, email address, telephone number and/or fax number when you register or create an account;
• We may collect your email address, first and last name and zip code if you sign up for an online newsletter.
• We may collect your name and email address if you ask us a question.
• We may collect your name and email address if you ask us a question.
• We may collect your first and last name, date of birth and email address if you enter a prize draw or competition.
• We may collect your first and last name, address, and credit and billing information when you purchase a product or service.
The list above provides an example of the personally identifiable information that may be collected on the Site. If you do not want BMbridal.com to collect your personally identifiable information, please do not provide it to us.
(2) Non-personally identifiable information
"Non-Personally Identifiable Information" may be technical information, or it may be demographic information such as age, gender, or interests. Non-Personally Identifiable Information does not identify you personally. Here are some examples of the Non-Personally Identifiable Information collected by the Site and a description of how that information is used:
• IP address (Internet Protocol)

Your IP address is a number that lets computers connected to the Internet know where to send data - such as the web pages you view. We use this information to deliver our web pages to you upon request, to tailor our website to the interests of our users, and to measure traffic on our website.
• Cookie

A "cookie" is a small text file that can be used to collect information about your activities on the website. For example, when someone visits a page within the website, a cookie is presented on the user's computer (if the user accepts cookies) or read if the user has visited the page previously.
• You can set most browsers to notify you when you receive a cookie, or you can block cookies with your browser, but if you do this you may not be able to receive the benefits offered to other users on our site.Some of the cookies we use may be Flash cookies or Adobe cookies. Although they are harmless, they may contain Demographic Information (defined below) and, depending on your browser, these cookies usually cannot be deleted even if your cookies are deleted. Please check your browser to see where these cookies are stored and how to delete them.
• Web beacons (also known as "free gifs", "web bugs" or "pixel tags")

"Web beacons" are tiny graphics with a unique identification code, similar to cookies, and are used to help us count the volume of users on particular pages and determine the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. When used in HTML-formatted email messages, web beacons can tell the sender whether and when the email was opened. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the user's hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages.
• Demographic information

"Demographic Information" could be your gender, age, zip code and interests that you voluntarily provide to us on the Site. We use this information to provide you with personalized services and to analyze trends to ensure that the information provided by the Site meets your needs. For example, if you subscribe to a particular newsletter, BMbridal.com may collect your zip code or interests. Please note that even aggregated information that is not personally identifiable is non-personally identifiable information. The above list provides an example of the non-personal information collected through the Site. We collect the above non-personal information from all visitors to our Site. If you do not want BMbridal.com to have access to this information, please do not visit our Site.

B. Use of data collected via the website

We use Personally Identifiable Information collected on the Website primarily for the following
to deliver information, newsletters or other products and services you request or purchase;
to inform you about special offers, updated information and other new services from BMbridal.de or other third parties or to forward promotional materials;
to complete a transaction or service you have requested;
to fulfill the terms and conditions of a promotion;

C. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
(1) Personally identifiable information
We may share or disclose your personal information in the following cases:
To provide a service to you. For example, if you email us a question, we may use your email address to process your request and respond to your question. Also, if you enter a sweepstakes or contest, we may use your personal information to fulfill the terms of that promotion. This means we may share the information for prize fulfillment purposes or for postal carriers. We may also share your information with the co-sponsor of that promotion.
To affiliates, strategic partners, agents, third-party marketers or other unaffiliated parties who offer products or services that we believe may be of interest to you or who need your personal information for research, administrative and/or internal business purposes. These parties may use your personally identifiable information to contact you with an offer or advertisement regarding a product or service, or they may use this information for their own research, administrative or business purposes. If you do not want us to share your personal information in this way, please do not provide us with this information.
To unaffiliated third parties, agents or independent contractors who assist us in maintaining our website and performing other administrative services for us (including, but not limited to, order processing and fulfillment, providing customer service, maintaining and analyzing data, sending customer communications on behalf of BMbridal.com, and collecting entries, selecting winners and fulfilling prizes for contests, sweepstakes and other promotions). We try to ensure that these unaffiliated third parties do not use the personal information for any purpose other than to provide the administrative services for which they are responsible. Because such unaffiliated third parties who assist us in administering our website have access to users' personal information, if you do not want our unaffiliated third parties to have access to your information, please do not register or submit any personal information to us.
To complete your purchase. If you choose to make a purchase on the Site, we may collect from you your credit card number, billing address, and other information related to such purchase and use such collected information to complete your purchase. We may also disclose such information or other personally identifiable information you provide to unaffiliated third parties as necessary to complete your purchase (for example, to process your credit card).
To comply with the law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process served on us, to protect and defend our rights or property, including the rights and property of BMbridal.de and the Site, or act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of our end users.
To third parties as part of a corporate restructuring process, including but not limited to mergers, acquisitions and sales of all or substantially all of our assets.
To track and analyze non-identifying and aggregated usage and volume statistics from our visitors and customers and share this information with third parties.
To protect against potential fraud, we may verify the information collected by the Site with third parties. In the course of such verification, we may receive personal information about you from such services. In particular, if you use a credit or debit card to purchase services from us, we may use card authorization and fraud monitoring services to verify that your card information and address matches the information you provided to us and the card has not been reported lost or stolen.
Except as described in this Privacy Policy or at the time we request the information, we will not otherwise use, share, or otherwise disclose your personal information to third parties.

Once we receive your transmission, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. We use firewalls to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
