Privacy Policy
This Policy is a statement of the ways in which we collect, hold
and use information about individual persons. This Policy applies
only to information gathered by us from online resources that display
a link to this Policy and not from any other source. BY USING THIS
WEBSITE, YOU CONSENT TO THE COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION AS
SET FORTH IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. YOU ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AMBIENTSHOP
MAY PERIODICALLY CHANGE, MODIFY, ADD OR REMOVE OR OTHERWISE UPDATE
THIS PRIVACY POLICY AT ITS DISCRETION, WITHOUT PRIOR NOTIFICATION.
It is our intention to post any such changes on this page so that
you are fully informed concerning the types of information we are
gathering, how we use it, and under what circumstances it may be
disclosed.
Our privacy policy is easy to find as it is located on our homepage
and is linked to any part of a site where personal data are requested.
At such data collection points, further explanation may be provided,
where appropriate, as to the purposes for which the data will be
used. This Policy, coupled with any supplementary explanation, will
tell you how we will treat any data about yourself that you voluntarily
submit in connection with your use of our websites.
1. Pledge on Privacy
The term "personal data" as used in this Policy refers
to information such as your name, birth date, e-mail address, mailing
address, telephone number or IP address that can be used to identify
you. Generally, Ambientshop will not process your personal data without
your consent. However, we reserve the right, in exceptional circumstances
to conduct additional processing to the extent permitted or required
by law, or in support of any legal or criminal investigation.
The next sections explain how and when we collect personal data from
you.
2. Intended Use of Personal Data
Most of our services do not require any form of registration, allowing
you to visit our site without telling us who you are. However,
some services may require registration. When you register with
us, you may need to complete certain fields (some are required
and some are optional), as well as choose a user name and password.
In these situations, if you choose to withhold any personal data
requested by us, it may not be possible for you to gain access
to certain parts of the site and for us to respond to your query.
We process personal data for the purposes which we inform you about
when we ask you for information. For example, we may collect and
use personal data to provide you with products or services, to bill
you for products and services you request, to market products and
services which we think may be of interest to you, or to communicate
with you for other purposes.
We keep your data in accordance with any applicable legal or ethical
reporting or documentation retention requirements.
3. Non-Disclosure of Information
We will not sell, share, or otherwise distribute your personal data
to third parties except as provided in this Privacy Policy. We
may disclose your personally identifiable information to other
Ambientshop affiliates worldwide that agree to treat it in accordance
with this Privacy Policy, but only in accordance with the terms
of this Privacy Policy. Personal data may occasionally be transferred
to third parties who act for or on behalf of Ambientshop, or in
connection with the business of the Ambientshop, for further processing
in accordance with the purpose(s) for which the data were originally
collected, such as delivery services, evaluation or technical support.
These third parties have contracted with Ambientshop that they
will only use personal data for the agreed upon purpose, and will
not sell your personal information to third parties, and will not
disclose it to third parties except as may be required by law.
Where such disclosure of personal data to a third party occurs,
we will endeavor to ensure that the processing is performed in
accordance with the purposes and within the limits under which
the data were originally collected.
There are two additional instances in which personal data collected
from you may be transferred to a third party. The first is in the
event that the business of this site and the customer data connected
with it is sold, assigned or transferred, in which case we would
require the buyer, assignee or transferee to treat personal data
in accordance with this Privacy Policy. The second instance in which
personal data may be disclosed to a third party is if we are required
to do so because of an applicable law, court order or governmental
regulation, or if such disclosure is otherwise necessary in support
of any legal or criminal investigation.
4. Right of Access
You have the right to ensure that your personal data is always up-to-date.
In some countries you have the legal right to require us to correct
or delete your personal data. In addition, you can always tell
us to stop contacting you. If you wish to contact us regarding
our use of your personal data, please e-mail us at info
@ambientshop.com.
If you contact us, please note the name of the website where you
provided the information, as well as the specific information you
would like us to correct, update or delete. Your requests will
be dealt with in a prompt and proper manner. Requests to delete
personal data will be subject to any applicable legal and ethical
reporting or document filing or retention obligations imposed on
us.
5. Security and Confidentiality
To ensure the security and confidentiality of personal data that
we collect on-line, we use data networks protected, inter alia,
by industry standard firewall and password protection. In the course
of handling your personal data, we take measures reasonably designed
to protect that information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access,
disclosure, alteration or destruction. While we cannot guarantee
against any loss, misuse or alteration to data, we try to prevent
such unfortunate occurrences.
6. Data Transfer Abroad
We are part of the Ambientshop which has databases in different jurisdictions.
We may transfer your data to one of the Group's databases outside
your country of domicile. Even if the country to which the data
is to be transferred does not require us to provide adequate protection
for your data, we will nonetheless seek to ensure that data transfers
to Ambientshop databases in that country are adequately protected.
7. Anonymous
Data and "Cookies"
We may collect and process anonymous information about your visit
to this website, such as some of the pages you visit and some of
the searches you perform. Such anonymous information is used by
us to help improve the contents of the site and to compile aggregate
statistics about individuals using our site for internal, market
research purposes. In doing this, we may install "cookies" that
collect the first level domain name of the user (e.g., "bigmail.com" from
an e-mail address of "john@bigmail.com") and the date
and time of access. "Cookies" as used by us cannot be
used to discover the identity of an individual user. A "cookie" is
a small piece of information which is sent to your browser and
stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies do not damage
your computer. You can set your browser to notify you when you
receive a "cookie", this will enable you to decide if
you want to accept it or not. We may obtain the services of outside
parties to assist us in collecting and processing the information
described in this Section and all such third parties will be placed
under the obligations described above in Paragraph 3.
On occasion, we may use Internet tags (also known as action tags,
single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs and 1-by-1 GIFs) in
combination with cookies at this site and may deploy these tags through
a third-party advertising partner. These tags are placed on both
online advertisements that bring users to the site and on different
pages of the site. We use this technology to measure the visitors'
responses to our sites and the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns
(including how many times a page is opened and which information
is consulted). The third-party partner may be able to collect anonymous
aggregated data about visitors to other sites because of these Internet
tags/cookies. Please be assured that we DO NOT collect or seek through
these tags or cookies any personally identifiable information about
our visitors, such as names, addresses, e-mail addresses or telephone
numbers..
8. Personal Information and Children
Most of the services available on this site are intended for persons
18 years of age and older. Any individual who requests information
about a medicine indicated for use in children must be 18 or over.
We will not knowingly collect, use or disclose personal data from
a minor under the age of 18, without obtaining prior consent from
a person with parental responsibility (e.g., a parent or guardian)
through direct off-line contact. We will provide the parent with
(i) notice of the specific types of personal data being collected
from the minor, and (ii) the opportunity to object to any further
collection, use, or storage of such information. We abide by laws
designed to protect children.
9. Links to Other Sites
This Privacy Policy applies only to this website to the exclusion
of third party websites. We may provide links to other websites
which we believe may be of interest to our visitors. We aim to
ensure that such websites are of the highest standard. However,
due to the nature of the World Wide Web, we cannot guarantee the
privacy standards of every website to which we link or be responsible
for the contents of sites other than this one, and this Privacy
Policy is not intended to be applicable to any linked, non-Ambientshop
site.
