The ELITE CITY MODELS privacy policy document
has been created to demonstrate the firm commitment on the part
of ELITE CITY MODELS TEENS DIVISION to protect your personal information
and to inform you about how we handle your personal information.
This privacy policy applies to transactions and activities in
which you engage while on the ELITE CITY MODELS website, and to
data gathered on the ELITE CITY MODELS Website through forms which
you fill out, or through script processes used to manage your
use of the ELITE CITY MODELS website. The privacy policy also
applies to double blind email communications between ELITE CITY
MODELS members (collectively, the "Site") but does not
apply to any other Website or offline point of contact between
ELITE CITY MODELS, or any other company, and consumers. Please
review this privacy policy periodically as we may modify it from
time to time. By visiting the site or providing us with information
you are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy.
This is applicable with each visit to the site.
Your IP Address
For the purpose of studying our website usage and gathering broad
demographic data that is useful to us in optimizing our website
and monitoring the use of our service, each time you visit the
Site, we automatically collect your IP address and the web page
from which you came.
Cookies
While we do not store any cookies on your system to track your
activities on the site, we do store information on our own system
that allows us to let other members know when you are online.
Information We Collect From You
In order to operate the Site and to provide you with information
about products or services that may be of interest to you, we
may collect "personal information" (i.e. information
that could be used to contact you directly (without using the
Site) such as full name, postal address, phone number or email
address), or "demographic information" (i.e. information
that you submit, or that we collect, that is neither personal
information; this may include, but is not limited to, postal code,
hometown, gender, username, age/birth date. Demographic information
is divided into two categories:
1) "non-public information", which consists
of purchase history information and one-on-one communications
between you and us; and
2) "public information", which consists
of all other demographic information. We ask that you do not enter
personal information or financial information into your “Profile”
(for example, don’t use your address or passcode as your
username, or include your name or address in your written responses),
because if you do then it may be posted publicly on the Site,
and the information will then be treated as "demographic
information" that is "public information." Please
note that nowhere on the Site do we knowingly collect personal
information from children under the age of 18, as we require that
all users represent to us that they are at least 18 years old.
Information Other Websites Collect From You
On the Site, we place links to other Websites operated
by other parties. When you click on these links and visit these
other Websites, regardless of whether or not they contain our
brand names, trademarks and other intellectual property, you need
to be aware that we do not control these other Websites or these
other Websites’ business practices, and that this privacy
policy does not apply to these other Websites. Consequently, the
operators of these other Websites may collect different kinds
of information about you, and may use and disclose that information
in different ways. We encourage you to review their privacy policies
and remind you that we will not be responsible for their actions.
How We Use Personal Information
We use your email address and your other personal information
to help us efficiently operate the Site, to contact you in connection
with your transactions and other activities on the Site (including,
but not limited to, confirmation emails or important news that
could affect your relationship with ELITE CITY MODELS), and to
forward messages to you from other ELITE CITY MODELS users. These
types of communications, are known as "Operational Communications."
In some cases, Operational Communications may also contain commercial
messages, such as banner ads and special offers.
We also use personal information to send you newsletters,
information, offers and other promotional materials for ELITE
CITY MODELS’s or third parties’ goods or services.
We attempt to send you offers that are of value to you, such as
discounts, exclusive offers or special event information.
To operate the Site, including processing your
transactions and supporting your activities on the Site, we may
share your personal information with our agents, representatives,
contractors and service providers so they can provide us with
support services such as authorization of credit card transactions,
email origination, receipt or support services, customer relationship
management services, order fulfillment. We require these entities
not to use your information for any other purpose.
By purchasing, or registering or making reservations
for, products or services offered or sponsored by third parties
on the Site, or electing to receive communications (such as emails
or magazine subscriptions) or electing to participate in contests,
sweepstakes or other programs offered or sponsored by third parties
on the Site, you consent to our providing your personal information
to those third parties. Those third parties may use your personal
information in accordance with their own privacy policies. You
will need to contact those third parties to instruct them directly
regarding your preferences for the use of your personal information
by them. Additionally, you agree that we may use and disclose
all such information so submitted to such third parties in the
same manner in which we are entitled to use and disclose any other
information you submit to us.
How We Use Public Information and Other Demographic
Information
We may review all demographic information. We may use public information
to enable other users to find your profile, to determine whether
they are a match for you and to communicate with you. We may use
demographic information to tailor the Site and communications
to your interests. We may also share demographic information with
advertisers on an anonymous and aggregated basis (i.e., without
telling the advertisers your identity). One of the reasons we
may do this is to increase the likelihood that our advertisers’
goods and services will appeal to ELITE CITY MODELS’s users,
so that we may target specific ads at specific demographic groups.
Our sharing of demographic information with advertisers is anonymous
(i.e., we do not tell advertisers which particular ELITE CITY
MODELS users are members of which demographic groups), subject
to the rest of this privacy policy. When you respond to an advertisement,
however, we ask you to remember that if that ad that is targeted
to a demographic group and you decide to give the advertiser your
personal information, then the advertiser may be able to identify
you as being a member of that demographic group. Please also be
aware that when we disclose your financial information or personal
information to a Co-Branded Company, as described above, we may
also disclose to that Co-Branded Company your demographic information,
other than the content of one-on-one communications between you
and other members. Please also be aware that we may disclose your
demographic information on a non-anonymous basis as described
above in the paragraph titled "Special Cases in which we
Share Personal and Financial Information." Also, to read
further details about how we may use your public information,
see our Terms of Use .
Our Security Precautions
The Site has security measures in place to protect against the
loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.
How You Can Access and Update Your Email Preferences,
Personal Information and Public Information by contacting us by
