PRIVACY POLICY |
| REGISTRATION |
|
In order to use certain sections of the website, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration, users are required to give their contact information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide certain amount of information, but encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site. |
| ORDER |
|
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and other information. This information is used for billing purposes and to process customer's orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user. |
|
COOKIES |
|
|
|
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, most of the cookies simply terminate. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to participate in any of our polls, contests or shopping experiences that take place. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies. |
|
LOG FILES |
|
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are in no case linked to personally identifiable information. |
| SHARING |
|
We will share aggregated demographic information
with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal
information that can identify any individual person. We use an outside
vendor for orders that are placed through the site. These companies
do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information
for any secondary purposes. We partner with another party to provide
specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we
will share names, or other contact information that is necessary
for the third party to provide these services. These parties are
not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for
the purpose of providing these services.

|
LINKS |
|
This web site contains links to other sites. Please
be aware that we (SplendidAsia.com)
are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.
We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to
read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects
personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies
solely to information collected by this website.
|
|
NEWSLETTER |
|
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address. |
| SURVEYS & CONTESTS |
|
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. |
|
TELL A FRIEND |
|
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend's name and email address. Splendid Asia.com will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. Splendid Asia.com stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact Splendid Asia.com to request the removal of this information from their database. |
|
SECURITY |
|
This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. |
| SUPPLEMENTATION OF INFORMATION |
|
In order for this website to enhance its ability to tailor the site to an individual's preference, we combine information about the purchasing habits of users with similar information from our partners, Company Y & Company Z, to create a personalized user profile. When a user makes a purchase from either of these two companies, the companies collect and share that purchase information with us so we can tailor the site to our users' preferences. |
|
SPECIAL OFFERS |
| We send all new members a welcoming email to verify registration or submission of any kind. Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below. |
| SITE AND SERVICE UPDATES |
|
|
|
We also send the user site and service announcement
updates. Members are not able to un-subscribe from service announcements,
which contain important information about the service. We communicate
with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues
relating to their account via email or phone.
|
|
CORRECTION/UPDATING PERSONAL INFORMATION |
|
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as change of telephone numbers), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us. This can usually be done at the member information page or by emailing info@SplendidAsia.com |
|
CHOICE/ OPT-OUT |
|
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the information. For example, our order form has an 'opt-out' mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but do not want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists. Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or email us at info@SplendidAsia.com. Users of our site are always notified when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require an outside party, or not. |
| NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES |
|
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected. |
