PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) is promulgated by Laurice El Badry Rahme, Ltd., doing business as Bond No. 9, with an address at 9 Bond Street, New York, NY 10012 (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) and is intended to advise you of what information we collect about you when you visit our website www.bondno9.com (the “Site”). You should understand what information we collect about you during your visit to the Site and what we do with that information. Your visit to the Site is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. Please note that this Privacy Policy governs only information provided to the Site online and communications from Bond No. 9 online. It does not govern any other information or communications that may reference Bond No. 9, e.g., communications from affiliated or unaffiliated retailers or brick and mortar stores. This Privacy Policy discloses practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting and sharing Personal Information and the choices available to our customers and others regarding our use of this information. Your use of this Site constitutes your agreement with this Privacy Policy and your consent to our collection, use and sharing of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy and in the Terms of Use. If you do not agree with or consent to this please stop using this Site immediately. Residents of certain states, such as California, Nevada, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and Utah may have additional rights and options. See below.

SCOPE

  1. Although you may be able to access some of the areas of the Site without having to disclose any personal information, you may have to provide certain kinds of “Personal Information” to access other areas of the Site. Personal Information comprises “personal identifiable information,” which is any information by which your identity can be determined or inferred, such as your name, email address, mailing address or telephone number.
  2. By accessing the Site, you are agreeing to be bound by its Terms of Use, of which this Privacy Policy is a part: If you are a resident of California, our California Privacy Policy applies to you. See the tab on the home page. If there is anything you do not understand about any applicable Privacy Policy or the Terms of Use, please contact us at contactus@bondno9.com.
  3. We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy and other documentation by posting revisions on the Site. They will be effective when posted and may make material changes to prior postings. Your continued use of the Site following any posting will constitute your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy and other applicable documentation. Accordingly, we urge you to check site documentation from time to time for updates. This Privacy Policy was last updated on the date provided at the end of this Policy.

PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED AND SHARED

  1. When Personal Information Is Collected. We only collect Personal Information about you when you provide it to us directly on the Site, or provide it to one of our affiliates. For example, if you decide to complete a user registration form, complete an online survey, request a service, or make a purchase, you may be asked to provide certain information about you such as your contact information (name, email address, mailing address, and telephone number). If you decide to place an order, we will also need to know your delivery and billing address, credit card number and expiration date. To protect your Personal Information, users registering at the Site must adopt a user name and password as part of the registration process. However, a user may purchase items through the Site without registering, i.e., as a “Guest.” If you purchase items as a Guest, your order history will become part of our records, but we will not have a profile of you. Your order history will be treated as Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. When you submit your Personal Information on the Site, you are giving your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. Our affiliates are boutiques that are owned directly or indirectly by us or our owner.
  2. Sharing of Personal Information with Group Companies. When you submit Personal Information on this Site, the information you provide may be shared with our affiliates that distribute and market Bond No. 9 products (the “Group Companies”). Group Companies may use this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Group Companies may be located both inside and outside the United States (“US”) and the European Union (“EU”). By providing Personal Information you consent to the disclosure to and use of your Personal Information by Group Companies and acknowledge and accept that the Group Company located outside of the United States which receives your Personal Information may be located within a state or country which does not guarantee the same kind or level of protection for Personal Information as the one in which you reside.
  3. Disclosure of Personal Information in Certain Cases.
    1. We will not provide your Personal Information to third parties for their use in marketing their products or services to you without your consent. Group Companies are not considered third parties, but instead are considered affiliates within the Bond No. 9 Group Companies and this Group is considered one company for the purposes of considering whether Personal Information is transferred to a third party.
    2. We may disclose any information, including Personal Information, we deem necessary, in our sole discretion, to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request. We may also exchange information, including Personal Information, with other companies and organizations for credit fraud protection and risk reduction.
    3. We may retain other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include customer support specialists, webhosting companies, credit card companies, fraud checking companies, fulfillment companies (e.g., companies that fill product orders or coordinate mailings), data analysis firms and email service providers. Such third parties may be provided with access to such of your Personal Information needed to perform their functions. We have written agreements with such service providers that provide that the service provider may not use such information for any other purpose other than that for which they have been retained.
    4. If you elect to participate in any promotions, sweepstakes, surveys, questionnaires or other events during your visit to our Site, the rules or terms and conditions for those events may indicate that your Personal Information will be shared with third parties. By choosing to participate and submitting your Personal Information with respect to such events, you consent to disclosure of your Personal Information to such third parties. We are not responsible for and disclaim all liability for any use of the information you choose to provide to such third parties.
  4. Cookies and IP Addresses. A cookie is a piece of data that enables us to track and target your preferences. We may place a “cookie” on your computer’s hard drive so we can recognize you as a return user and personalize your experience and your use of our Site. The cookie will be stored on your computer’s hard drive until you remove it. We may also use temporary or “session” cookies to help you shop. These cookies will expire when you place an order. We may use flash cookies to personalize your experience. You can have your browser and/or plugs to your browser, such as flash, notify you of, or automatically reject, cookies. If you reject our cookies, you may still use the Site, but you may be limited in the use of some of the features. We may also use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the Site, track traffic patterns, and gather demographic information for aggregate use, as well as in combination with your Personal Information for credit fraud protection and risk reduction. Some of our other service providers may also use cookies on the Site. However, we have no access to, or control over, these cookies and do not accept any responsibility for such use.
  5. Pixel Tags and Tracking Technology. When you visit our Site or view one of our emails, we may use pixel tags (also called “web beacons” and “clear” gifs), tracking links and/or similar technology to note some of the pages you visit on our Site and personalize your experience. We may also use pixel tags to determine what types of email your browser supports. We may use the information collected through pixel tags, tracking links and similar technology in combination with your Personal Information. This allows us to improve our Site and to deliver a better and more personalized service to you by recognizing you when you return to the Site, storing information about your preferences and speeding up your searches on the Site.
  6. Examples of Personal Information Collected Electronically. Examples of information that may be collected by us electronically, by whatever means, include your browser, the type of device and its IP address, the operating system, your Internet service provider, pages you visit on the Site and your geographic location for use in our store locator utility. Your geographic location is not stored by us. We are also able to collect information about your interactions with communications, such as whether emails were opened, and if links in those emails were clicked.
  7. E-mail Addresses. We collect email addresses for the potential delivery of marketing materials. When you use the Site, you may, for example, be given the option to subscribe to an email list or request certain resource materials or to subscribe to any list or newsletter. Such subscriptions may be cancelled at any time. After we collect your email address, it may be shared with third parties if you earlier shall have given us permission to do so.
  8. Personal Information for Shopping Account. You will have the opportunity to create a shopping account on the Site. We collect Personal Information that you provide when you set up an account. A shopping account may allow you to shop, check on order status and history, or use certain features of the Site. By inputting your email address or other permitted user name and a password of your choice, you may access your account to add, delete or change information. The Personal Information provided by you will not be used for any purpose that is not outlined in this Privacy Policy and any related documentation. If you ever use a public computer to access your account, we strongly encourage you to log out at the conclusion of your session to avoid possible access to your data and the account by others.
  9. Payment Processing. When you shop with us online, whether you have an account or not, payment processing information may be collected by us as part of the checkout process. We may also use third parties for payment processing. You may also wish to review the terms of use and privacy policies of your payment method provider (such as PayPal or Visa).

NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION

  1. We may combine Personal Information collected through cookies, pixel tags and other analytical tools with other information we may have collected from you. That information may be used to improve the Site, to personalize your online experience, to help us deliver information to you, to determine the effectiveness of advertising, and for other of our internal business purposes.
  2. We may authorize certain service providers to utilize non-Personal Information for their business purposes and in accordance with their privacy policies, such as to report on usage or industry trends.

An example of such a third party would be Facebook. Prior to using any third-party functions on the Site, you should consult the privacy notices of the applicable third-party providers that might govern the use of that information by those third parties, or how they may use the information. Those policies may differ significantly from ours, and we make no representation or warranty about them. Your communications and interactions with any such third parties are solely between you and them and are undertaken at your own risk.

SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We implement various commercially reasonable physical, electronic and administrative security measures in accordance with industry standards to protect the security of your Personal Information both online and offline. We designed the Site to accept orders only from Web browsers that permit communication through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. In addition, we utilize user names and passwords for access to the database servers that guard against unauthorized access. All payment transactions are encrypted for protection of the Personal Information. While we implement the above security measures on our Site, you should be aware that 100% security is not always possible and that the transmissions of data may not be completely secure. If you establish an account with us, you are responsible for keeping your password confidential. Nor will we be liable for the circumvention or sabotage by third parties of our privacy settings or security measures. We will not be liable for any breach of the security of your Personal Information resulting from any other causes or events that are beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, your own acts or omissions, any corruption of storage media, any defects in third-party data security products or services either of us may use, power failures, natural phenomena, riots, acts of vandalism, hacking, sabotage, pandemic, or terrorism. In the event that your Personal Information has been exposed due to a security breach, we will notify you as soon as practicable via the email address you have provided us. If you have any questions about security at the Site, you can email us at contactus@bondno9.com.
