Thank you for accessing the Estria Foundation / Mele Murals (“Site”) operated by the Estria Foundation. We respect your privacy and want to protect your personal information. To learn more, please read this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and disclose your personal information. This Privacy Policy also explains the steps we have taken to secure your personal information. Finally, this Privacy Policy explains your options regarding the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information. By visiting the Site directly or through another site, you accept the practices described in this Policy.
This Privacy Policy applies to the Site. This Privacy Policy does not necessarily apply to any offline collection of your personal information. Please see below for details.
We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices on any website not operated by the Estria Foundation to which the Site links or that links to the Site.
Information Collection
We collect information from you in several different ways on this Site. Your personal information could be used to help make the Site easier for you to use by not having to enter information more than once, help you quickly find products and services, and to help us create better products and services in the future.
(a) Order Registration. While making a purchase on our site, you need to provide us with certain personal information, including but not limited to your name, shipping and billing address(es), phone number, email address, and credit card information. We use these kinds of personal information for billing purposes, to fulfill your orders, to communicate with you about your order and for internal marketing purposes. We also collect information about the transaction such as the product details and date and location of the transaction. If we encounter a problem when processing your transaction, your personal information may be used to contact you.
(b) Online Account. Upon checkout, you may choose to create an online account to which will allow you to access your purchase status, purchase history, and allow us to communicate with you. When you create your account, we may ask you to provide your name, address, email, phone number and product purchase history. We may use this information to customize messages we send about products, offers, surveys, promotions, events, and news we think may interest you and tailor your experience on the Site. You are not required to register an account to use the Site.
(c) Email Addresses. Several locations of the Site permit you to enter your email address for purposes including but not limited to: to request us to notify you of new products, new product styles, or product sizes; to sign up for email newsletters and special offers.
(d) Cookies and Other Technology. Like many sites, the Site employs cookies and web beacons (also known as clear GIF technology or “action tags”) to speed your navigation of the Site, recognize you and your access privileges, and track your Site usage. We have to use cookies to enable you to select products, place them in an online shopping cart, and to purchase those products. These technologies also track information related to your interaction with the Site and your browsing and purchase history on the Site. We use this information to improve the Site, understand which products are popular, evaluate the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, and other internal business purposes.
Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored as text files by your Internet browser on your computer’s hard drive. They are not programs and cannot harm your computer. Most Internet browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to refuse cookies from websites or to remove cookies from your hard drive. If you disable cookies from this Site, you will not be able to access or use portions of the Site nor will you be able to complete purchases or obtain order history.
Web beacons allow two websites to share information. They may be used for site traffic reporting, unique website visitor counts, and advertising auditing. As is true of most web sites, the Site server automatically recognizes the Internet URL from which you access the Site. We may also log your Internet protocol (“IP”) address, Internet service provider, and date/time stamp for system administration, order verification, internal marketing, and system troubleshooting purposes. (An IP address may indicate the location of your computer on the Internet).
(e) Product Reviews. You may choose to submit a product review. If you post a review, we will ask for certain personal information which may appear in publicly viewable areas of the Site. The content of reviews is public so any personally identifiable information that you submit as part of a review is not subject to this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for any personally identifiable information that you choose to submit as part of your review.
(f) Testimonials and personal photographs: We may collect testimonials and personal photograph from our clients. These are completely optional and are separate from the purchasing process. Upon submission of a testimonial or personal photograph, we will also collect your name, location and email address. We reserve the right to use your name and location in publicly viewable areas of the Site. Email addresses will never be disclosed to the public.
(g) Third Parties. We may combine information you provide us with data we have collected offline, data that is publicly available, and data from third parties. We also use third party data to enhance the Site’s ability to serve you, tailor content to you, and to provide you with information we believe interests you. We may, from time to time, contract with third party vendors to provide ads on the Site to visitors on our behalf via the Internet. In order to do so, such vendor may collect anonymous information about your visits to the Site using cookies.
Information Use and Disclosure
(a) Internal Use. We use your personal information to process your order and provide you with customer service. We may internally use your personal information to improve the Sites’ content and layout, to improve outreach and for our own marketing efforts (including marketing our services and products to you), and to determine general marketplace information about visitors to the Site. In order to facilitate such use and the other use described in this Section, we may share your information with our affiliates.
(b) Communications with You: We will use your personal information to communicate with you about the Site and your orders and deliveries and we may send you a confirmation email when you register with us. We may send you a service-related announcement on the rare occasions when it is necessary. Collection of your email address is mandatory to complete an order. Because we must communicate with you about orders that you choose to place, you cannot opt out of receiving emails related to your orders.
We may also use your email address to inform you of new products or services, contests or sweepstakes or to send you newsletters or special offers. Upon receipt of such emails, you will have the opportunity to opt out of future communications.
(c) External Use: We do not sell, rent, trade, license or otherwise disclose your specific personal information or financial information to anyone other than to affiliates under our control, except in the following cases:
(i) We partner with third parties (such as the U.S. Postal Service, United Parcel Service, and Federal Express) to ship products, to ensure delivery, and so that we can obtain feedback, improve the quality of our service, and measure and improve the quality of the service of the third party. In the example of shippers, we provide them some personally identifiable information such as your name, shipping address, email, and phone number.
(ii) Similarly, to help you buy products and provide customer service to you, our Site must provide your credit card number to our credit-card processors and issuers. When we submit your credit card number for authorization, we use state-of-the-art data encryption to protect your information.
(iii) We may disclose such information in response to requests from law enforcement officials conducting investigations; subpoenas; a court order; or if we are otherwise required to disclose such information by law. We also will release personal information where disclosure is necessary to protect our legal rights, enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements, or to protect ourselves or others. For example, we may share information to reduce the risk of fraud or if someone uses or attempts to use the Site for illegal reasons or to commit fraud.
(iv) We will not sell (or trade or rent) personally identifiable information to other companies as part of our regular course of business. However, it’s possible that we might acquire or merge with or be acquired by another company or that we might dispose of some or all of our assets. If that happens, your personal information may be disclosed to another company, but that disclosure will be subject to the Privacy Policy then in effect.
(vi) We may share non-personal information (such as the number of daily visitors to a particular web page, or the size of an order placed on a certain date) with third parties such as advertising partners. This information does not directly personally identify you or any user.
(d) Advertising and Analytics Services. We use third parties to place ads across the Internet on our behalf and to provide analytics on such services. These third parties also use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information about your Internet usage such as your IP address, web browser, sites visited, links clicked, and other information.
DATA SECURITY
The Site incorporates physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information, including Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) for all financial transactions through the Site. We use SSL encryption to protect your personal information online, and we also take several steps to protect your personal information in our facilities. Access to your personal information is restricted. Only employees who need access to your personal information to perform a specific job are granted access to your personal information. Finally, we rely on third-party service providers for the physical security of some of our computer hardware. We believe that their security procedures are adequate. For example, when you visit the Site, you access servers that are kept in a secure physical environment, behind a locked cage and an electronic firewall.
While we use industry-standard precautions to safeguard your personal information, we cannot guarantee complete security. 100% complete security does not presently exist anywhere online or offline.
OPT OUT/CORRECTIONS
Upon your request, we will (a) correct or update your personal information; (b) stop sending marketing communications to your email or home address; and/or (c) disable your account to prevent any future purchases through that account. To opt-out of email communications, click the Unsubscribe link located at the bottom of the message. Please allow up to ten days for any changes to take effect.
Regardless of your opt-out preferences, we may send you communications related to orders placed on the Site at the email you provide at the time or purchase.
OFFLINE COLLECTION, USE & DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
As you might expect from us, the majority of information that we collect is obtained through the Site, and this Privacy Policy applies only to that online collection of personal information. We also may collect information offline, where we also try to protect the privacy of your personal information. One example involves someone calling us to place an order or to ask questions. This privacy policy applies only to information collected on the Site.
UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
If we change or update this Privacy Policy, we will post changes and updates on the Site so that you will always be aware of what information we collect, use and disclose. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy from time to time so you will know if the Privacy Policy has been changed or updated.
INTERNATIONAL USERS
Our digital operations are conducted in the United States. Regardless of where you live, you consent to have your personal data transferred, processed, and stored in the United States and allow us to collect and use your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
