At Biondi we know that you care how information about you is used and shared and we appreciate your trust in us to do that carefully and sensibly. Information given to us will only be used to enhance your shopping experience, resulting in a more personalised service for you.
When reviewing this Policy you should understand that when we use the term "personally identifiable information" we mean any information that can be used to identify or to contact a specific individual, such as a name, address, telephone number or email address.
When we refer to "aggregate information" we mean information that does not allow us to identify or contact a specific individual but describes a general category of information about visitors to the Site, such as demographics, or visitors using a particular browser to access the Site.
Can I review or change information I have previously provided to Biondi Couture?
Yes. If you want to review, correct, or change personal information that you have previously provided to us, please email info@biondicouture.com and we will provide you with your information and allow you to amend it.
Does Biondi Couture collect any other information about visitors to the Site?
We constantly seek to maintain the integrity of, and make improvements to the site. As part of these efforts, we collect and analyse certain information about how visitors use the Site. When you visit our Site, we may collect various types of technical data, which we maintain in both aggregate and personally identifiable forms. This data includes (but is not limited to) domain and/or Web browser information. We may track which website you visited before arriving at the Site and the website you link to when you leave the Site. We may also keep a record of which pages of the Site you visit, and how long you spend on each page.
What does Biondi Couture do with information collected on the Site?
We will use personally identifiable information provided by visitors to fulfil the purpose for which such information was provided, as described in this Policy, and as disclosed at the time the visitor information is requested. Order information will be used to fulfil customer orders. We may also use postal address information provided by visitors to send them, among other things, Biondi Couture offers. Additionally, we may use information about your activities on the Site, your purchases, and your computer equipment to improve the performance of our Site, and to customise the content and layout of our Site pages for you. We may supplement personally identifiable and aggregate information collected from the Site with similar information obtained from our affiliates, companies with whom we have marketing or other business relationships, and other third party sources. We may offer visitors the opportunity to receive special promotions from us and other companies. If a visitor elects to receive such offers (or does not indicate a preference not to receive such information), we will use the information provided by that visitor to send those offers. We use aggregate information collected on the Site to evaluate how the Site is being used. This information does not contain any information that may be personally identified with a specific individual. For example, we may collect and analyse information about how many visitors arrived at certain pages of the Site, how long they stayed on those pages, and where they went afterwards.
This information allows us to determine which pages might be the most interesting to and popular with visitors and enables us to provide visitors with a better and richer experience on the Site. We also use personally identifiable information and aggregate information for a variety of marketing and promotional purposes. For instance, we may use information gleaned from your use of the Site or the purchases you make to inform you of new areas of the Site and product specials.

You may choose not to receive promotional emails or newsletters from us by not checking permission boxes when completing any online forms or by sending us an email with “remove” in the subject line. We will respond to a request made pursuant to these methods as promptly as practicable. Even if you elect to stop receiving promotional emails from us, we may still contact you to tell you important information about us or the Site.
Does Biondi Couture share visitor information with other companies?
We will not intentionally share your personally identifiable information with unaffiliated entities (i) except as described in this Policy or as disclosed at the time your personally identifiable information is provided, or (ii) without your consent. We do, however, share aggregate information about Members and visitors to our Site with third parties and we share visitor and Member personally identifiable information with companies with whom we have a marketing or other business relationship. We may also disclose personally identifiable information and aggregate information in order to (1) comply with applicable laws, (2) respond to governmental inquiries, (3) comply with valid legal process, and (4) protect the rights or property of Biondi Couture.

Certain activities and services available on the Site are provided by third parties. For example, if you choose to purchase a product from us, we may use an outside vendor to process and ship the order to you. In this instance, we would need to provide your shipping address to this entity. We may also utilise an outside email service provider to send our emails, in which case we would need to provide your email address to this vendor.
