Privacy Policy Disclosure
YEZ is very sensitive to your desire to keep your personal
information out of the hands of those who would use such
information improperly. Indeed, we share the same
concerns with respect to our own information and data as
well as the information and data of our customers and business
associates. To demonstrate our dedication to respecting the
privacy of your information, we have developed this Privacy
Policy to disclose what types of information we may collect
from you and how we might use that information. This
Privacy Policy applies to The Youth Enterprise Zone, or its
subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “ YEZ ”, “ we ”, “ us ” or
the like)
For purposes of this Privacy Policy, the term “ Website ” refers
to each of the web pages contained in all the websites owned,
operated or controlled by us, including any website through
which we may provide any of our products or services (collectively,
the “ Services ”).
As described below, some of your nonpublic personal information
is disclosed to affiliated and carefully selected nonaffiliated
third parties and used by us and such third parties. By accepting
our Terms of Use or by using our Services, you expressly
consent to our use and disclosure of your nonpublic personal
information in the manner disclosed below. Please
note in particular that by accepting the Terms of Service
or by using our Services, you acknowledge and agree that
the Pennsylvania Electronic Transactions Act (“PETA”) applies
to the transactions conducted on or through the Website and
that you and YEZ may conduct any transactions contemplated
herein by electronic means. This means that you expressly
agree to receive communications and disclosures from YEZ,
including those relating to privacy matters, via electronic
mail, the Website or other electronic means.
Because of the rapidly evolving legal and business environment
surrounding privacy on the Internet, please be aware that
YEZ must reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy
at any time, in which event we will provide you with reasonable
notice of the changes. Please bear in mind that this Privacy
Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information
we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose information
or data to other parties or other websites on the Internet,
including websites that you may reach through YEZ's Website,
different rules or policies may apply.
What Nonpublic Personal Information of Mine
Does YEZ Collect?
Information You Provide
YEZ collects information that you voluntarily
submit during the registration process through interactive
questionnaires, applications or other forms. We may also offer additional
tools or Services or request other information from you from
time to time or through fashion chat rooms and bulletin boards
we may decide to offer on the Website. Should you
wish to not reveal this kind of information, you should abstain
from completing the applicable questionnaire, application
or form. Please be aware, however, that certain information
is required in order for us to provide the Services. If
you elect not to share required information, you may not
be able to receive such Services.
For most activities, we will need to
collect only your email address, password and a minimum
of five of your body measurements. We
may also ask you to provide additional optional information,
such as your name, address, age, phone number, and other
relevant information.
If you voluntarily send us any correspondence,
such as emails or letters, we may retain and use such correspondence
and information in a file specific to you. Similarly,
if you voluntarily submit postings or otherwise participate
in any available chat rooms or bulletin boards on our Website,
such information will become publicly available.
Information We Collect Through Technology
In order to measure the usefulness and
efficiency of our Website, we automatically track certain
information from all our visitors. The types of information
we might track may include the Internet address that you
just came from, which Internet address you go to, what
browser you are using, your computer operating system and
your computer's unique Internet Protocol address. We
may also collect information regarding apparel, garment
and accessory purchases you may make through websites operated
or controlled by third parties with whom we may have a
business relationship.
Like most interactive websites, we use “cookies” on certain
pages of our Website. “Cookies” are small data files that
are stored on your hard drive which store certain information
accessible to our Website, such as your email address, password
and other information you may voluntarily provide through
our registration process to permit us to provide Services
or which we may obtain through technology. You are always
free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although
in that case you may not be able to use certain features
on our Website and you may be required to reenter your password
or provide other required information more frequently during
a session. Many World Wide Web browsers currently
available allow you to adjust your privacy preferences, so
please consult the help files of your particular browser
for further information.
In addition, we collect nonpublic personal information about
you from your transactions and experience with us or other
third parties with whom we may have a business relationship.
How Does YEZ Use My Information?
We use your information to provide you the Services and
process transactions that you request.
If you have indicated your assent during the
registration process, we may use your email address, your
mailing address and phone number (if you voluntarily submit
such information) to contact you regarding administrative
notices, new Service offerings and communications relevant
to your use of our Website or products, services and special
offers offered by YEZ and other third parties with whom we
may have a business relationship or which we otherwise feel
you may find of interest.
We may aggregate some or all of the information described
above in an effort to improve our marketing and promotional
efforts, to statistically analyze Website usage, to improve
our content and Service offerings and to customize our Website's
content, layout and Services. This information is compiled
and analyzed on an aggregated basis, and we do not generally
track an individual's nonpublic personal information, although
we may do so for our own internal purposes and for any purposes
permitted by law .
We may use your nonpublic personal information
to determine, and if necessary enforce, your compliance
with the Terms of Service. We may also use your
nonpublic personal information as otherwise permitted by
law.
What Categories of Information Does YEZ Disclose
and to Whom is it Disclosed?
In order for YEZ to offer you quality
Services, we work with some third parties. We may disclose to these
entities nonpublic personal information about you as necessary
to provide these Services to us for your benefit or directly
to you. We may also choose to disclose your information
to trusted nonaffiliated third parties in the future for
other purposes.
Co-Brand Service Providers . YEZ may
offer a number of co-branded services and products with
nonaffiliated third parties, such as apparel, garment and
accessory designers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers. If you are eligible to
use these types of services, we may provide your nonpublic
personal information to the co-brand provider offering such
services or products in order to permit you to obtain or
use the applicable products or services. Because we do not
control the privacy practices of these third parties, you
should evaluate their practices before deciding to obtain
or use the co-branded products or services offered. In
addition, a co-brand provider may directly ask you for certain
information to assist it in providing you with products or
services.
Companies Offering Promotions, Products
or Services . On
occasion, we may decide to offer promotions – like product
giveaways – in conjunction with a sponsor. We will
share your information with the sponsors if they need it
to send you a product, such as a magazine subscription. We
may share your information with those sponsors so that they
can send you other special promotions they offer, but only
if you give us your permission to do so. In addition,
YEZ occasionally sends email promotions out to our Customers
on behalf of third-party sponsors. In this instance,
we don't share your name with the third party – we do the
mailing for them. Again, we only send these promotions
to you if you've given your permission.
Suppliers and Service Providers . We may use some nonaffiliated
third party suppliers and service providers to directly or
indirectly provide Services to our customers, and we may
need to share your nonpublic personal information with them
in order to permit them to provide the products and services.
In some instances, the third party supplier or service provider
may collect information directly from you. You should note,
however, that you may not be able to obtain a particular
product or service without us or you providing the information
requested.
In Accordance With Law . YEZ expressly reserves the right
to disclose or report any of your information to any third
party as permitted by law, including, without limitation,
in circumstances where we reasonably deem it necessary to
comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, to cooperate
with government or industry regulators and law enforcement
officials, to perform any necessary credit checks or collect
or report debts owed to us, or to protect our rights or property.
Marketing and Advertisers . We may disclose
nonpublic personal information we collect, as aggregated
or otherwise, to nonaffiliated third parties who perform
marketing services on our behalf or to other entities with
whom we may have joint marketing arrangements in order
to make a variety of products or services available to
you. We do collect nonpublic personal
information as described above and may in the future disclose
such nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third
party advertisers.
Purchase or Sale of Business . Online business is
still in a very early stage and is changing and evolving
rapidly. As YEZ continually looks for ways to improve
our business, we may buy or sell a company. If we
buy or sell a business, the information and data collected
will likely be transferred as a part of the sale. Information
about users will be used in the aggregate. However,
if we buy a business, we will use best efforts to honor the
requests that customers made of that business regarding their
nonpublic personal information. In the event that
we sell a business, we will do everything reasonably within
our power to ensure that the nonpublic personal information
requests you made of us are honored.
How Can I Review and Change My Personally Identifiable
Information?
We will retain in our files information you have requested
to remove in some circumstances, for purposes such as to
resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our Terms
of Service. Further, such prior information is never completely
removed from our databases due to technical constraints and
certain recordkeeping requirements or practices and the fact
that we back up our systems. Therefore, you should not expect
that all of your personally identifiable information will
be completely removed from our databases in response to your
requests, although we will honor your requests to change
your information or our permitted email communications as
soon as practically possible.
What Choices do I have About YEZ Collecting,
Using, and Sharing My Information?
When you do register with us or give us personally identifiable
information, you will have an opportunity – at the time we
collect your information – to limit email communications
from YEZ and from third parties with whom we may have a business
relationship . You can request at any time that YEZ
or such third parties not send future email to you either
by unsubscribing from the communication or by contacting
us at bgcwpa@cs.com. Also, as mentioned above, there
are ways to limit the information collected through technology – though
some of our features won't work if you decide to do this.
What Kinds of Security Procedures Does YEZ Keep
In Place?
YEZ wants to ensure the security of your personal
and financial information while shopping on our web
site. Please be aware that no data transmission over the
Internet can be guaranteed as 100% secure, but for
this reason we employ strong security measures to protect
your personal information to the greatest extent possible.
Every page of the Check Out process on the Davis & Davis
web site uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to transmit
your personal information to our servers. SSL is a set of
rules followed by computers connected to the Internet.
These rules include encryption, which guards against eavesdropping;
data integrity, which assures that your communications
aren't tampered with during transmission; and authentication,
which verifies that the party actually receiving your
communication is who it claims to be. In addition to our
SSL technology, we urge you to close your browser
window after shopping online to ensure you are logged out
of your visit and/or online account. This is especially
important when you are sharing a computer, or using a computer
with public access.
Information Sharing Within YEZ.
In order to provide you with a consistent level of quality
services and products, and as described above, we may share
any of the nonpublic personal information that we collect
about you among companies within YEZ identified above.
Under the law, we are permitted to internally
share certain nonpublic personal information about you
when it relates to identification and the transactions
and experiences we have with you. However, you do
have the right to limit our sharing of your other nonpublic
personal information within YEZ. This "other” information
includes information that is used, expected to be used,
or collected for the purpose of processing your orders
and is not related solely to your identification or other
transactions or other experiences with us.
If you prefer that we not share these other non-identification,
non-experience and non-transaction types information about
you within YEZ, you may opt out and direct us not to share
this information by calling us at 412-621-3759.
If you choose to opt out of the sharing of this information
within YEZ, we will not share non-identification, non-transaction
or non-experience information about you for any accounts
that you may have with us (although we may continue to share
identification, transaction and experience information and
other information as permitted under law). For any accounts
with us that you hold jointly with another person, each person
may separately opt out and joint account holders may opt
out for each other. If only one joint account holder opts
out, we may share information about the other joint account
holders. Choosing to opt out of this information sharing
may limit opportunities for you to receive product and service
information that may interest you.
Information Sharing Outside YEZ.
If you prefer that we not share your nonpublic personal
information with companies and organizations outside YEZ
as described above, you may opt out and direct us not to
share this information by calling us toll-free at 412-621-3759.
If you choose to opt out of the sharing
of nonpublic personal information with companies and organizations
outside YEZ, we will not share any nonpublic personal information
about you for any accounts that you may have with us (although
we may continue to share nonpublic personal information with
nonaffiliated third parties for our marketing purposes, to
process your account, provide you the goods and services
you have requested or as otherwise permitted under law). For
any accounts that you hold jointly with another person, each
person may separately opt out and joint account holders may
opt out for each other. If only one joint account holder
opts out, we may share information about the other joint
account holders. Choosing to opt out of this information
sharing may limit opportunities for you to receive product
and service information that may interest you.
A Special Note on Children.
We ask that minors under the age of 18 do not submit any
personal information to us.
