DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Absent your prior consent, the Company does not currently share your personal information
with any unrelated third parties. Additionally, the Company does not permit unrelated
third parties to perform "reverse searches" whereby they could identify users from e-mail
addresses. the Company does, however, share some of your personal information with its
affiliates, and you authorize the Company and its affiliates to use your personal
information in connection with any wireless, text message, wap push, online or off-line
offering or any electronic mail offerings or campaigns. In addition, the following
describes some of the ways that your personal information may be disclosed in the normal
scope of business to provide the Company’s Services:
Advertisers . The Company may aggregate personal information
and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and
other third parties for their marketing and promotional purposes. However, in these
situations, the Company does not disclose to these entities any information that could be
used to identify you personally. Certain information, such as your name, email address,
password, credit card number, and bank account number, are not disclosed to these third
parties in a personally identifiable manner without your explicit consent.
External Service Providers . There are a number of separate
services offered by third parties that the Company refers to as external service providers
that may be complementary to your use of mStyle.com. If you choose to use these separate
services, disclose information to the external service providers, and/or grant them
permission to collect information about you, then their use of your information is
governed by their privacy policy. The Company does not disclose your personally
identifiable information to external service providers unless you provide your explicit
consent. With your consent, the Company may provide some of your personal information to
the external service provider offering such services, for your convenience. To prevent the
Company’s disclosure of your personally identifiable information to an external service
provider, you can decline such consent or simply not use their services. Because the
Company does not control the privacy practices of these third parties, you should evaluate
their practices before deciding to use their services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company may disclose your personal information to your mobile phone service provider to
secure collection of fees.
Internal Service Providers . The Company may use third parties
that the Company refers to as internal service providers to facilitate or outsource one or
more aspects of the Company’s business, product and service operations that the Company
provided to you and, therefore, the Company may provide some of your personal information
directly to these internal service providers. These internal service providers are subject
to confidentiality agreements with us and other legal restrictions that prohibit their use
of the information the Company provides them for any other purpose except to facilitate
the specific outsourced Company related operation, unless you have explicitly agreed or
given your prior permission to them for additional uses. In some instances, the internal
service provider may collect information directly from you. In these cases, you will be
notified of the involvement of the internal service provider, and all additional
information you provide them and their additional uses will be strictly up to you. If you
provide additional information to an internal service provider directly, then their use of
your personally identifiable information is governed by their applicable privacy policy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right (and you authorize the
Company) to share or disclose your personal information, including, without limitation,
any content, records or electronic communications of any kind, when the Company
determines, in its sole discretion, that the disclosure of your personally identifiable
information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against you if:
- you are or may be violating this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Use;
- you are interfering with another's rights or property, including, without
limitation, the Company’s rights or property;
- you are violating any applicable law, rule or regulation;
- necessary or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation; and/or
- requested by authorities in the event of any act of terrorism or instance of local,
regional or national emergency.
In addition, due to the existing regulatory environment, the Company cannot ensure that all
of your private communications and other personal information will never be disclosed in
ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting
the foregoing), the Company may be forced to disclose personal information to the
government or third parties under certain circumstances or third parties may unlawfully
intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Therefore, although the
Company uses industry standard practices to protect your privacy, the Company does not
promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or
private communications will always remain private.
