Online Privacy Policy
The Wedding Palace Bridal Show supports a general policy of
openness about personal data collection and use. We have adopted
and implemented this Privacy Policy as part of our commitment to
protecting your personal information from misuse.
This Privacy Policy applies to the site www.weddingpalace.ca.
This Privacy Policy also applies to Wedding Palace Bridal Show
services contained on other sites, so long as such services contain
the Wedding Palace Bridal Show's branding, and Wedding Palace
Bridal Show has provided a link to this Privacy Policy in
connection with such services.
The Websites are not directed at children under the age of 13.
If you are under 13, please do not provide any personal information
on the Websites.
What information does Wedding Palace Bridal Show collect on its
Websites?
Wedding Palace Bridal Show collects both personal information
and aggregated information on its Websites. We discuss our
collection and use of different kinds of information below.
Personal Information
You do not have to provide personal information to use any of
our Websites. However, particular services provided through the
Websites may require that you furnish personal information. We
collect such personal information only when you provide it to us -
for example, in answering surveys; entering contests and
sweepstakes; registering to receive electronic newsletters,
television listings and other materials; participating in message
boards, book clubs, and quizzes; purchasing items from our stores;
and taking part in other promotional opportunities. You may be
asked to provide your contact information (such as your name,
postal address, telephone numbers and/or email address), financial
information (such as credit card numbers) and demographic
information (such as your postal code, age, or income level) in
connection with your use of such services.
Contact information is used to respond to your inquiries; to
notify you if you have won a contest or a quiz and to send products
and services ordered from our Websites. You also may receive
periodic mailings from us with information on new products and
services, updates to our Websites, or upcoming events.
We may share our user mailing list with reputable and carefully
screened firms for marketing or promotional purposes. We may also
forward information to you regarding third party products or
services, without disclosing your personal information to such
third parties. You may opt out of having your contact information
as part of our mailing list at any time (see the Opt-Out Section
below).
You may be asked to provide information (occupation, hobbies,
short biography, your homepage, etc.) in creating a user profile in
our public forums. If you choose to provide this information, it
will be accessible to other users of the Website (See Public Forums
Section below).
We use IP addresses to calculate Website usage levels. Whenever
you are on the Internet, a number (an IP address) is automatically
assigned to your computer. This number is identified and logged
automatically whenever you visit our Websites. Collecting IP
addresses is standard practice on the Internet, and is done
automatically by many websites. Demographic information, as well as
usage data calculated from logging IP addresses, is shared with
advertisers and third parties only on an aggregated basis. (See the
Aggregated Information Section below.)
Whenever we request your personal information on our Websites,
to the extent that we intend to use it in a manner not disclosed in
this Privacy Policy, we will try to explain to you how we intend to
use it, and to provide you with a choice to decline certain uses.
In addition, if we plan to post any of your personal information on
our Websites, we will also notify you of this possibility either
when you provide information to us or prior to posting the
information. Please note that by entering any contest or quiz, you
consent to our announcing your name and home town as part of any
list of winners.
We may also disclose personal information if we believe that we
are required to do so (i) by law, (ii) to comply with legal process
or governmental requests, (iii) to enforce our Terms of Service, or
(iv) to protect the rights, property, or safety of Wedding Palace
Bridal Show, its users or the public.
Service Providers
We work with third parties who provide services including but
not limited to website hosting, order processing and fulfillment,
credit card clearance, e-commerce affiliation, data analysis,
emailing and other services of an administrative nature. Personal
information, including financial information, is shared with such
third parties for the purpose of providing such services.
Aggregated Information
We collect information through our Websites relating to traffic
levels on our Websites - for example, the total number of users
visiting particular pages. We also collect and analyze aggregate
demographic information, the results of surveys as well as
information relating to the search functionality on the
Websites.
Aggregated information is helpful to us for improving the
services we offer and for marketing purposes. We may share
aggregated information, which does not personally identify you,
with our advertisers, business partners, or other companies.
Use of Cookies by Wedding Palace Bridal Show
Cookies are data that a Website transfers to an individual's
computer for record keeping purposes. Cookies, which are an
industry standard used by most Websites, can facilitate a user's
ongoing access to and use of a site. Cookies do not cause damage to
your computer systems or files.
We use a temporary cookie to track the products you have chosen
to purchase while shopping on our Websites. The cookie expires once
you are done shopping. The cookie saves you the trouble of entering
information over and over again during a single visit. We also use
cookies in our discussion areas to eliminate the need to log in
every time you use the book clubs and other message boards on our
Website.
In addition, from time to time, we may use cookies and other
technologies to gather non-personally identifiable information to
track the popularity of certain pages of our Websites; the success
of our email notifications and ad campaigns on third-party sites,
based on click-through rates; and other similar information, all of
which assists us in seeking to improve our Websites and related
services.
If you do not want information collected through the use of
cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows
you to automatically decline cookies, or to be given the choice of
declining or accepting the transfer of a cookie to your computer.
You should note, however, that declining the cookies may make it
difficult for you to make purchases on our Websites and will make
entering our discussion areas more cumbersome.
Public Forums
We make discussion areas, message boards, and/or book clubs
available to our users. Please remember that any information that
is disclosed in these areas becomes public information, and you
should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal
information.
To register for the public forums, you will need to select a
screen name and provide your email address. A password is required
to log into the public forums. Depending on the site, you will
either select your own password at the time of registration or will
receive an email notification from us with a randomly generated
initial password.
Whenever you contribute to a public forum, your screen name,
linking to your profile, will automatically appear with your post.
When you log into the discussion forums, you will be able to set up
your profile, which you may edit at any time. You have the ability
to change your password within the profile. Your password will
never be visible to other users as part of your profile. Providing
information as part of the profile is entirely optional.
If you have indicated as part of your profile that you would
like to accept private messages, other users will be able to
communicate with you by sending you "private messages," without
actual knowledge of your email address.
On all other public forums on our Websites, information that you
provide as part of your user profile, except your password and
email address, will be accessible to other users of the site by
clicking on your screen name associated with any of your postings.
However, you may also opt to display your email address with your
posts.
Children
Our Websites are general audience sites. We do not direct any of
our content specifically at children less than thirteen (13) years
of age. We will not knowingly collect information from children
under the age of 13 without first gaining consent from a parent or
guardian. We will not use this information to contact the child for
other purposes, distribute this information to third parties, or
give the child the ability to post publicly or otherwise distribute
personally identifiable information without a parent's or
guardian's consent.
Third-Party Ad Serving
We may from time-to-time contract with a third-party ad serving
company to sell and manage the advertisements that you see on the
Websites. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party
servers is standard in the Internet industry, and our advertisers
may assign their own cookies to your browser. Through cookie and
other technology, advertisers may collect certain non-personally
identifiable information about you from your visits to our Websites
and to other sites where ads are served such other advertisers.
This information may be used to deliver tailored ads to you. We do
not control this process, and these cookies are subject to other
advertisers' policies. However, these third-party companies do not
obtain, through use of cookies or otherwise, any personally
identifiable information from us or from any of our Websites.
Security
We have security measures in place to protect against the loss,
misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. Any
time we ask for a credit card number we transmit that credit card
number in an encrypted format. We use industry-standard, SSL
(secure socket layer) encryption. Unfortunately, no data
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information,
we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you
transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do
so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make
reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems.
Links to Third Party Sites
Our Websites may contain links to third-party Websites. The
linked sites are not under the control of Wedding Palace Bridal
Show, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the
contents of any linked site, or any link contained in a linked
site. We are providing these links only as a convenience, and the
inclusion of a link on our Websites does not imply endorsement of
the linked site by Wedding Palace Bridal Show Limited.
Assignment
We reserve the right to transfer any and all information that we
collect from users of the Websites to a third party in the event
that we sell or transfer substantially all of our assets related to
the Websites to such third party.
Opt-Out
You may inform us if you wish to remove your personal
information from our database, and we will endeavour to comply with
your request as soon as reasonably possible. Please note that we

and there may also be residual information that will remain within
