collect from you through the Closet Envy' website, at www.theclosetenvy.com, and through any
mobile or touch applications (collectively, the "Site"), or offline, including by telephone

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of our Site on or after the Effective Date.

Traffic Data. We automatically track and collect the following information when you
visit the Site: (i) IP address; (ii) domain server; (iii) type of computer; and (iv) type
of web browser (collectively “Traffic Dataâ€). Traffic Data is anonymous information
that does not personally identify you but is helpful for marketing purposes or for
improving your experience on the Site. We also use “cookies†to customize content
specific to your interests, to ensure that you do not see the same advertisement
repeatedly and to store your password so you do not have to re-enter
it each time you visit the Site.
Personal Information. Personal information is defined as any information about an
identifiable individual, including information that may be reasonably used to
identify an individual, locate or contact an individual, for example, a first and
last name, an email address, a home, postal or other physical address, telephone
number, etc. In an effort to provide you with an efficient and pleasurable
experience at the Site, Closet Envy may collect the following types of personal
information and other information from you: (1) information which permits us to
communicate with you, such as your first and last name, email address, home, postal
or other physical address, telephone number, or fax number; (2) information that
helps us understand what types of products interest you, e.g., your gender or
affiliation with any company or organizations; (3) information which shows us how
you interact on the Site, for example, which products you view and purchase; and (4)
your financial account information such as your credit card number, the expiration
date and card verification number, or other payment information, such as your debit

social media companies (such as Facebook or Twitter) subject to your granting permission
in accordance with those company's information-sharing policies.
How We Collect Such Information.
Registration with the Site. Prior to using certain parts of the Site or placing an

During registration, Closet Envy will ask you to provide us with certain personal

information, and gender. This information is used by Closet Envy to place and fulfill
your order, to communicate with you about your order, to facilitate the return of
an item or to make an exchange and for internal marketing purposes. If you elect
to use the Bill Me Later® payment method, you will be asked to provide us with
your birth date and the last 4 numbers of your social security number. We will
not store or keep this information in our files. This information will be used
for the sole purpose to facilitate the Bill Me Later® transaction.

option to disclose your email address for certain purposes, including but
not limited to: to subscribe to our newsletter; to receive information regarding
special offers and promotions; to receive access to exclusive deals; to receive coupons;
to receive information regarding new products, sizes or styles; or to register for a
contest or sweepstakes. If you register for a contest or sweepstakes you may also be
opting in to receive our email newsletter and special offers. This will be disclosed
in the official rules governing the contest or sweepstakes. Also, if you register
for a contest or sweepstakes, we will use the information that you have provided
to us to contact you if you should win the contest and we may also post your name and
geographic location on our Site. You may also be required to disclose your age in
connection with the contest or sweepstakes registration.

personal information that you disclose in the content of the review.
Site Navigation. Closet Envy may also collect information from you when you use and
navigate the site, e.g., information regarding the products you view and purchase.
Cookies and Tracking Technology. When you visit our Site, we collect certain information
by means of technologies such as "cookies." A "cookie" is a piece of information that is
transferred to your hard drive when you visit our Site, which automatically affiliates
your browser to our server whenever you interact with our Site. A cookie cannot read data
off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other websites. Closet Envy may use "cookie"
technology to improve your online experience. Cookies allow us to recognize you when you
return to the Site, and to track and target your interests. Closet Envy may also collect
information using methods such as "refers," IP addresses, and environment variables.
The environment variables Closet Envy gathers include time, the type of Web browser being used,
the operating system/platform, and CPU speed. This information may be used in the aggregated
form to monitor Site performance, use of features and traffic patterns, and browser version.
We do not extract information about individual users or their computers during this process.
We may monitor a visitor's use of the Site, and use or disclose any information gathered as
part of our evaluation of the Site to satisfy any law, regulation or other government request,
and to operate the Site properly and efficiently.

warn you before cookies are placed on your computer. If you refuse cookies, you may not be
able to take full advantage of the Site. In particular, you may be required to accept
cookies in order to complete certain actions on our Site, including the selection and
placing of products into an online shopping cart and the ordering of such products.
You do not need to have cookies turned on, however, to use our Site.
In most cases, the information we collect using cookies or other technologies is
used in non-identifiable ways without reference to personal information. However,
in the cases where we associate the information we collect using cookies and related
technologies with your personal information, this Privacy Policy will control.
Log File Information. Log file information is automatically reported by your browser

which are used to track the online usage patterns of our users anonymously.
No personally identifiable information from your Closet Envy account is
collected using these clear gifs. In addition, we may also use clear gifs

except Closet Envy may send your personal information to other companies or individuals
in the following circumstances:
- when we have your consent to share the information;
- when we need to share your information to provide you with the products or service
that you have requested, specifically (1) we may disclose your name, shipping address,
email address, telephone number and fax number to third parties such as the U.S.
Postal Service, Federal Express, or the United Parcel Service, so that they may
ship and ensure delivery of products to you or so that we may measure and improve
the quality of the service of the third party; and (2) we may also disclose your
financial information to credit card processers or issuers in order to facilitate
the payment and processing of purchase made on the Site;
- when we need to send your information to companies who work on behalf of Closet Envy
to provide a service to you (we will only provide those companies the information
they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that
information for any other purpose);
- if required or advised to do so by law;
- to prevent or mitigate a fraud or credit risk;
- to affect a proposed or actual sale (including a liquidation, realization, foreclosure or repossession),
merger, amalgamation, transfer, exchange or other disposition (whether of assets, shares or otherwise)
of all or a portion of our business in order for you to continue to receive the same products and
services from the third party;
- to protect and defend our rights, property, and this Site; or
- to act in urgent circumstances to protect personal safety or the public.
You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes.
We will usually inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data
for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for
such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain
boxes on the forms that we use to collect your data. You can also exercise the right at
any time by contacting us at admin@theclosetenvy.com.
Opt-Out. By providing us your email address you consent to our using the email address to send
you Site-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication
by postal mail. You may not opt out of some Site-related communications. However, you can
change the frequency of many Site-related communications by emailing us at admin@theclosetenvy.com.
We may also use your email address to send you other messages, including changes to features of
the Site and special offers. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt out
by emailing us at admin@theclosetenvy.com. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages
regarding updates, improvements, or offers.
Data Security. Closet Envy takes commercially reasonable efforts to protect the security of the
information you send to us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. Specifically,
Closet Envy uses firewalls, encryption technology and cryptographic protocols to provide security
over the Internet, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for all financial transactions conducted on the
Site. Although we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of
the information that you transmit to us, and encourage you to take every precaution to protect your
personal information when you are on the Internet.
We may use certain information about you and/or your User Content without identifying you as an
individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as analyzing how the Site is used,
diagnosing service or technical problems, maintaining security, and personalizing advertisements and promotions.
We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor the User Content you post on the site.
We have the right to remove any such information or material for any reason or no reason,
including without limitation, if in our sole opinion, such information or material violates,
or may violate, any applicable law or our Terms of Use agreement or to protect or defend its rights
or property or those of any third party. We also reserve the right to remove information upon
the request of any third party.
Children's Privacy. We are concerned about the safety of children when they use the Internet.
We want you and your family to be safe while visiting our Site. We do not knowingly request
personally identifiable information from any child. We urge parents to regularly monitor and
supervise their child's online activities. No one under the age of 13 should submit any
personal information to us without the consent of a parent or guardian. If you have any questions
about our treatment of a child's personal information, please contact us at: admin@theclosetenvy.com
Sharing of Personal Information. Persons under eighteen (18) years of age (or the legal age to
enter into contracts in your jurisdiction, of older) are not permitted to use the Site,
and so this privacy policy makes no provision for their use of the Site.
Information that you submit through the Site may be transferred to countries outside the
United States to provide products and services to you. If we transfer your information
outside the U.S. in this way, we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights
continue to be protected.
We share Demographic Data with advertisers and other third parties only on an aggregate basis.
We may share Contact Data with other companies who may want to send you information about their
products or services. If you do not want us to share your Contact Data with any third parties,
please email us at admin@theclosetenvy.com or select the "opt out" box on our online forms.
We may store personal information in locations outside the direct control of Closet Envy
(for instance, on servers or databases co-located with hosting providers).
As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or stock of other companies.
Customer, email, and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets
in these types of transactions. We may also transfer such information in the course of
corporate divestitures, mergers, or dissolution. In any such transfer of information,
your user information would remain subject to this Privacy Policy.
Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose personal information to
any third party unless required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action
is necessary to (a) conform to the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates,
or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (b)
to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend ourselves
against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, or to protect
the security or integrity of our site; and (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal
safety of Closet Envy, our users or others.
We may share non-personally identifiable information (such as anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages
and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third parties to help them understand
the usage patterns for our Sites.
We allow other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements on the Site.
These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the
advertisements and links that appear on the Site. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens.
They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to measure the effectiveness
of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content.
We do not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks
without your consent. However, please note that if an advertiser asks us to show an advertisement
to a certain audience and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may
conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach.
You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers or ad networks.
Our privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such advertisers.
The Site utilizes the services of a number of third-parties to perform certain key functions of the Site,
including receipt of disbursement of all funds related to purchases on the Site, and other matters.
The Site will disclose your Personal Information to these third-parties in order to facilitate the Site
and you consent to all such disclosures.
We may disclose your Personal Information to:
- our affiliated companies;
- non-affiliated third parties that perform services, such as marketing or market research,
on our behalf (e.g., we may provide your name, address, phone number, or e-mail address to vendors that send our e-mail or regular mail);
- companies that service, maintain, or process your transactions and accounts (e.g.,
companies that provide administrative, telecommunications, computer, order execution,
payment or securities clearing, prepare and mail account statements and transaction
confirmations and other services in connection with the operation of our business);
- non-affiliated third parties as permitted or required by law, or to cooperate with regulators or
law enforcement authorities (e.g., government and regulatory organizations, such as the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS), and to parties under court order or subpoena that request this information);
- non-affiliated third parties at your direction or for which you have provided your express consent; and
- third parties in connection with the proposed or actual financing, insuring, sale, securitization,
assignment or other disposal of all or part of our business or assets (including accounts) for
the purposes of evaluating and performing the proposed transaction.
We require that commercial entities (as described above) with which we share your Personal Information agree to
keep your information confidential. We also prohibit those entities from using or disclosing your
information except for a limited purpose and to the persons for whom disclosure was intended,
or as otherwise permitted or required by law. Service providers to whom we disclose personal
information must agree to contractual requirements consistent with our privacy and security policies.
We prohibit our service providers from using personal information except for the specific purpose for
which we provide it to them, and require them to comply with legal obligations applicable to the personal
information at issue.
Generally, the Personal Information that we collect from you will be stored in the United States and
other countries, which may have different privacy laws and standards than those in your country of residence.
Your personal information may be transferred to or processed in the United States by us or a third-party
service provider working for us, or for one of our affiliates or suppliers. By submitting Personal Information
via our website or other means, you agree to such storage, transfers and processing. We will take all steps
reasonably necessary to treat your Personal Information securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
It is important to note that some or all of your Personal Information provided to third-party service providers
may be held in countries other than your own, including in particular the United States. You acknowledge and
understand that your Personal Information will be subject to the applicable laws of each such jurisdiction,
which may not provide for the same protection as your country of residence. For example, government entities
in the United States and other countries may have certain legislative rights to access your Personal Information.
Confidentiality and Security of Personal Information. Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy,
we will keep your Personal Information private and will not share it with third parties, unless such
disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply with a court order or other legal process; (b) protect our
rights or property; or (c) enforce our Terms of Use. Your Personal Information is stored on secure
servers that are not accessible by third parties. We provide you with the capability to transmit
your Personal Information via secured and encrypted channels if you use a similarly equipped web browser.
We use commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and
security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information
you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, we make
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not
a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our
physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password)
to verify your identity before granting you access to your account. You are responsible for maintaining the
secrecy of your unique password and account information, and for controlling access to your email
communications from Closet Envy, at all times.
Compromise of Personal Information. In the event that personal information is compromised as a result of a breach
of security, we will promptly notify those persons whose personal information has been compromised,
in accordance with the notification procedures set forth in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required
by applicable law.

required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice,
