Privacy, Security
and Cookies Policy
Personally identifiable information
refers to information that specifically identifies who you are.
Our Websites do not collect personally identifiable information,
but using our websites implies that you consent to other parties
possibly tracking your shopping behaviour, on our behalf, in relation
to the Retail Merchants you may visit after clicking our banners
and links.
The Plus Size Websites Group is dedicated to establishing
trusting relationships with its users, based on respect for personal
information, by promoting the use of fair information practices. This
privacy policy covers all Web properties owned and maintained by The
Plus Size Websites Group, including this one. This privacy policy
(the "Policy") is designed to inform you about the types
of information that we might in future gather about you, how we may
use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices
you have regarding our use of that information. This Policy may change
from time to time, so please check back periodically.
Most of the banner ads, and some links, appearing on our Websites
are delivered to users through various third party Affiliate Networks,
acting on behalf of Retail Merchants, from whom we may then receive
commissions. These Affiliate Networks use 'Cookies' to track your
shopping behaviour after you leave our websites.
COOKIES
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations
2003 (as amended) it is our duty to tell you how our websites use
Cookies.
We place 'Cookies' from Affiliate Networks on our websites. These
Cookies are little bits of information in the Banner and Link codes
which allows Affiliate Networks track your shopping behaviour in relation
to the Retail Merchant's website you visit, via the Affiliate Network,
after leaving our Websites. Although you may not be aware of this
visit to the Affiliate Network, because it will be so quick, you will
go to the Retail Merchant's website via the Affiliate Network website
after leaving ours.
By clicking on a Merchant Banner or Text Link, you will be directed
to the Merchant's website via the Affiliate Network that has given
us the Merchant's Banner. These Affiliate Networks use Cookies to
track information about users' visits to our Websites, such as number
of times you have viewed an ad, or the number of items you bought
and amount spent. Affiliate Network Cookies identify and track your
computer, but do not collect user names, addresses, or other personal
information, and are only used to track users delivered to third party
websites by our Websites to determine commissions due to us, if any.
Affiliate Network Cookies stop tracking after a set time, usually
determined by the Retail Merchant. The Retail Merchant will often
be given your tracking information from the Affiliate Network, so
that they don't pay 'double commission' to us.
Affiliate Networks will never contact you, but if you choose to give
further information to the Retail Merchants you visit, you may receive
emails or offers if you choose to register with them. Their privacy
policies may differ from our Policy.
Our Websites may also contain non-advertising links to other sites.
Please be aware that The Plus Size Websites Group is not responsible
for the privacy practices or cookie policy of such other sites. Please
be aware that when you leave our sites, you need to read the privacy
statements and cookie policy of each and every website you then go
to that collects personally identifiable information.
POSSIBLE FUTURE USE
In future we might request personally identifiable information if
you register with us or correspond with us, but as yet this is
not our policy. This information might include your name, mailing
address, telephone number or e-mail address.
Third party advertising partners will not have access to any personally
identifiable information you might choose to give to us. If you choose
to give us personally identifiable information, we will not share
it with third parties. If you choose to give us personally identifiable
information, you may occasionally receive emails containing information
about us, or information about third party services or affiliate programs
that are likely to be of interest to our users. You will be able to
opt-out of receiving such emails from us.
In future we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities
to provide personally identifiable information to appropriate governmental
authorities. We will disclose personally identifiable information
upon receipt of a court order or subpoena or in order to assist a
law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement
agencies in identifying those who use our Websites' services for illegal
activities.
In the event that The Plus Size Websites Group goes through a business
transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or
selling a portion of its assets, any users' personally identifiable
information that we have will, in most instances, be part of the assets
transferred. Users may be notified prior to a change of ownership
or control of their personal information. If as a result of the business
transition, the users' personally identifiable information will be
used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection,
users may object to such use by contacting us at our given contact
phone numbers.
The Policy was last changed on June 5th, 2012. If we make changes
to any terms or conditions of the Policy, the changes will be posted
in this document so that you will always know what information we
gather, as well as how we might use that information and to whom we
may disclose it. We may change, modify, add or remove portions of
the Policy at any time. Please be sure to check this page before proceeding
to use the Websites. If you have any questions about this privacy
statement, the practices of this site, or your dealings with the Websites,
you can contact us at our given contact phone numbers.
