Our Commitment to Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this Security and Privacy Policy explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your personally identifiable information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested. This Security and Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by this website.
The Information We Collect
On some pages, you can order products and services. The types of personally identifiable information collected at these pages are Name, Address, Email address, Phone number, Credit/Debit Card Information.
On some pages, you can submit information about other people. For example, if you order a gift online and want it sent directly to the recipient, you will need to submit the recipient's address. In this circumstance, the types of personal information collected are Name, Address, Phone number.
You may also register to become a member of our VIP Club by signing up for an account.

The Way We Use Information
Order Processing
We use the personally identifiable information you provide about yourself when placing an order to complete and confirm delivery of that order. We use the personally identifiable information you provide about someone else when placing an order to ship the product and to confirm delivery. Out of respect for your privacy, unless otherwise provided herein, we do not use your personally identifiable information to contact you unless you register to become a VIP Club Member (see below). We do not store credit card information, even for VIP Club Members. Because of that, you must enter your credit card information for each order.
VIP Club Membership
If you choose to register to become a Belletaré VIP Club Member by signing-up for an account, we may use your name and email address periodically to send you promotions, special offers, newsletters, new product announcements and other items we think might be of interest to you. All emails to VIP Club Members include an option at the bottom of each email to unsubscribe to future emails which also cancels VIP Club Membership. You may also cancel membership or unsubscribe by contacting us by Mail, Phone or Email.
Cookies and Log Files
When you view our website, we may store some information in the form of a "cookie" or similar file that is automatically downloaded to your computer. Our cookies are safe for your computer and are not programs that can be used to damage files. Your personally identifiable information cannot be gathered from the presence of cookies. Among other things, cookies enable us to tailor our websites and advertising to best match the interests and preferences of our consumers. However, if you don't want cookies (ours or anyone else's) stored on your system, most internet browsers will allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive or prevent them from being stored. Some will even send you a warning message before they are stored. Refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions.
As with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained in log files. The information in the log files include your IP (internet protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as AOL, Comcast Cable or Qwest), the browser you used to visit our site (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited our site and which pages you visited throughout our site.
Non-Identifying and Aggregate Information
We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out a registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.
Third Parties
Unless it is necessary to share your information with a contractor (such as a web hosting company, order fulfillment center) for the purpose of fulfilling your order or transmitting information to you, your personal information will not be shared with any third party without your prior consent. Any firm or individual that is hired for the purpose of fulfilling orders or transmitting information to our customers is restricted from using the customer’s personally identifiable information in any way other than to provide the services for which they have been contracted.
Links to or from Other Sites
We cannot insure the protection of personally identifiable information that you provide to a third party site that has a link to our site as these sites are owned and operated independently. They likely will have data collection practices and privacy policies much different from ours and which are beyond our control. Any personal information that you provide to them will be regulated by their privacy policy (if any). We can assume no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the practices, actions, or policies of third party sites. We cannot be responsible for the content or privacy practices of such sites.
Required by Law
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our company.
Finally, we never use, share, sell or rent the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
Our Commitment to Data Security
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personally identifiable information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You are ultimately responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any usernames, passwords and/or any account information.
Belletaré incorporates digital certificates, online authentication and the latest 128-bit encryption technology. Additionally, we protect your credit card information and transactions using a technology called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). If your browser is capable of SSL, as most are, your sensitive information will automatically be encrypted before being sent over the Internet. You should also know that we do not store your credit card or ordering information on our Internet server
Our Commitment to Children's Privacy
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we do not intend to collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 18 years of age. If a parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with personal information would like to have the information removed from our records, he or she should Contact Us at the email address or phone number listed at the bottom of this statement. We will make every effort possible to remove the child's information from our files.
Business Transitions
In the event Belletaré goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personally identifiable information will likely be among the assets transferred. You will be notified by prominent notice on our website for thirty (30) days, and by email if possible, of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
How You Can Access or Correct Your Information
You can access all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain by contacting us directly by Mail, Phone or Email. We use this procedure to better safeguard your information.
You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending us a request that credibly shows error.
To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
