Privacy Policy

Créateurs de Luxe is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy discloses the types of information Créateurs de Luxe gathers and how Créateurs de Luxe uses this information. These privacy practices apply to this Site only.

The primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with a more personalized experience by providing you with the best and most useful content and services.

Créateurs de Luxe collects personally identifiable information when you provide it to Créateurs de Luxe, such as when you register on this Site. Some of the services that we offer on this Site, such as use of the message boards, may require registration as a condition of use. Once you register with the Site you are no longer anonymous to Créateurs de Luxe. Créateurs de Luxe may also receive information about you from other sources and add it to the information you provided to Créateurs de Luxe.

Your Internet browser has a feature called "cookies" which stores small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to this Site. You do not need to have cookies turned on to visit most of this Site, although active participation in certain areas of this Site may require cookies. Cookies alone tell Créateurs de Luxe nothing about who you are unless you specifically give Créateurs de Luxe personally identifiable information when, in which case Créateurs de Luxe may use the information to enhance your services in the ways described below. You may elect not to allow cookies to be collected by adjusting your settings on your browser.

Créateurs de Luxe may use technologies, including electronic images known as Web bugs--sometimes called transparent GIFs, clear GIFs, or beacons--that allow Créateurs de Luxe to track general user traffic patterns. Créateurs de Luxe also automatically receives and records information from servers and from your browser, including your IP address, the time of your visit to pages on this Site, and information about pages you visited. Unless you have registered for one of Créateurs de Luxe’s services, the information Créateurs de Luxe gathers through the use of tracking technologies cannot be matched with any personally identifiable information about you unless you have specifically given Créateurs de Luxe personally identifiable information, in which case Créateurs de Luxe may use the information to enhance your services in the ways described below.

Créateurs de Luxe uses cookies and tracking technologies in a variety of ways, including:

Keeping count of return visits to our site.
Accumulating and reporting anonymous, aggregate (data collected in mass) and statistical information on Site.
Determining which features the overall user population likes best.

comply with applicable law,
enforce the terms of this User Agreement,
protect the rights, property or safety of Créateurs de Luxe, its users or others.

By using this Site, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information as described above. If Créateurs de Luxe changes its privacy policy, it will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information is being collected, how it is being used, and under what circumstances it will be disclosed.

You can still view much of the content and use many of the services offered by the site without registering. Users may also opt out of receiving notices and special offers by sending an email to sales@createursdeluxe.com and specifying the information to be withheld or the notices or special offers they wish to decline.
