Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Vanessa Vega public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Vanessa Vega does not read any of your private online communications.

Vanessa Vega encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from Vanessa Vega so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. Vanessa Vega is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Vanessa Vega and Vanessa Vega family of Web sites.

Vanessa Vega does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Vanessa Vega may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Vanessa Vega may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries.

Vanessa Vega keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within Vanessa Vega, in order to determine what Vanessa Vega services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within Vanessa Vega to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Vanessa Vega Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Vanessa Vega or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Vanessa Vega; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Vanessa Vega, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The Vanessa Vega Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Vanessa Vega pages, or register with Vanessa Vega site or services, a cookie helps Vanessa Vega to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Vanessa Vega Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Vanessa Vega features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Vanessa Vega services or Web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

Vanessa Vega secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Vanessa Vega secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

Vanessa Vega will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. Vanessa Vega encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Vanessa Vega is protecting your information.
