Privacy policy

Your privacy is very important to us.  

We have created this privacy policy in order to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy (the "Policy").  

The Policy explains what information we collect about you and what we do with it. We want you to fully understand our privacy practices and therefore, in addition to this Policy, we created a Data Protection Officer (DPO) whom you can contact with any questions or concerns (see below). We reserve the right to modify the Policy at any time. We encourage you to check this page periodically for any changes. The Policy is incorporated into, and subject to, the terms of our Terms of Use available at https://Girlscurly.com/terms-conditions .  

By using or navigating our website, located at https://Girlscurly.com (the "Website"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by the Policy or any modified Policy as posted. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use or visit the Website.

What information do we collect?

We do not collect personally identifiable information except where such information is specifically provided by you, including your name, email address and telephone number. We may also collect credit card information from you. We generally collect this personal information on our registration and order forms when you sign up to receive products or services from the Website and to access our member's area. With the exception of payment information, any personal information or video content that you voluntarily post or disclose online becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by others. 

We collect aggregate technical information (such as IP addresses, screen resolution, browser language, viewer device information, etc.) and anonymous demographic information (such as your postal or zip code, the website that you came from, the date and time of your visit, etc.) during your usage of the Website. The information we collect is relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed.

When you visit the Website, we may send one or more cookies to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser session. The Website uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. If you remove your persistent cookie, some of the Website's features may not function properly.

What do we do with the information we collect?

We use the personal information you provide us, as well as other demographic or profile information, to provide our Services to you, to fulfill your orders and requests, to verify your age, and to contact you, if necessary. We may also use it to assist with the prevention of fraudulent transactions.

Your personal information is never shared with advertisers or market researchers.

Your chosen username (not your email address) is displayed to other Users alongside the content you upload, including videos, comments, and messages. Other Users can contact you through private messages.

Any videos that you submit to on the Website may be redistributed through the Internet and other media channels, and may be viewed by the general public. We may use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes, such as notifying you of key Website changes or for customer service purposes.

Whenever possible, we use non-identifiable information (i.e. IP addresses and anonymous demographic information) rather than personal information. Non-identifiable information is used to tailor your experiences on the Website by showing content we think you might be interested in and displaying it according to your preferences. We may use aggregate data to analyze user-behavior and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the Website.  We also use the information collected to evaluate and improve our services and analyze traffic to the Website.

Personal information collected on the Website is stored and processed in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world, and by using the Website, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.   

Do we share the information we collect with third parties?

We may use statistical analysis of aggregate information to inform advertisers of aggregate user demographics and behavior, as well as the number of users that have been exposed to or clicked on their advertising banners.  We will provide only aggregate data from these analyses to third parties.

We may share information we collect with third party service providers to manage certain aspects of the services we provide, such as maintaining our servers and processing or fulfilling orders for products and services you purchase through the Website.  We ensure that the third party service providers that we share your information with have privacy policies in place substantially similar to our own.

We may also disclose your information in special cases if required to do so by law, court order or other governmental authority or when we believe in good faith that disclosing this information is otherwise necessary or advisable, including, for instance, to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interfering with the rights or property of the Website, another user or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities (i.e. identify theft or fraud). 

How long do we retain information?

We retain personal information for such period of time as we feel is necessary to ensure that you have a reasonable opportunity to access the information and for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which your personal information is processed.

Is the information submitted in public forums confidential?

No. The Website may offer chat rooms, forums, message boards and/or news groups to our users.
