privacy statement

Any personal information you provide to us on our web site is maintained in private files on our secure Web server and our internal systems. We collect information when you register or update your account, log-in, place an order, opt-in to receive our emails, shop online, request a catalog, or participate in a sweepstakes, contest, promotion or survey. This information may include, but is not limited to, name, email address, billing and shipping address, credit card information and phone number.

If you create an account, you also have the option of providing your product preferences and demographic information. If you use our 'email this style to a friend' functionality found on all product pages, we will also collect your friend's name and email address. This information is only used to send the forwarding email and is not saved in our customer or marketing databases.

Oscar and Belle, Inc. will not sell, rent or share your email address with third parties to send you unsolicited email. However, in our ongoing effort to provide you with the best service possible, we may share your information with our family of brands and/or affiliated companies for their use. When you supply your postal address, either when requesting a catalog or placing an order, you may receive a catalog by mail from Oscar and Belle, Inc. or one of our other brands or affiliated companies.

We occasionally make our postal list available for limited use by a few reputable and carefully screened firms, but at your request, we will not share your address with anyone. Requests can be sent to info@Oscarandbelle.com. When you place an order on Oscarandbelle.com, we use this information to process and track your order and contact you via email, postal mail or phone if we have any questions or concerns regarding your order.

If you provide an email address during checkout, you will also receive order and shipping confirmation emails. We also maintain a record of your purchases made on OscarandBelle.com and through our Oscar and Belle, Inc. family of websites. We may also use information about your product preferences and interests in order to improve our site design and enhance your shopping experience. In the unlikely event of a sale of some or all of our business, Oscar and Belle, Inc. may disclose your personal information to a purchaser that agrees to abide by the terms and conditions of this privacy policy.

You should also be aware that we may disclose specific information about you if required to do so by law, governmental request or court order or based on our good faith belief that it is necessary to conform or comply with such law, request or court order or to protect the users of our web site or the public.

In addition, we may share statistical, demographic and other non-personally identifiable information with third party companies to help manage and optimize our Internet business and communications.

Personal information relating to you and your order history is only available to you if you provide the correct password that you create.

You can tell that you are in secure mode by the following: * The "http" in the web address will be replaced by "https" * Depending on the browser, you will see either a padlock (Microsoft Internet Explorer, AOL, Netscape Communicator) or a solid key (Netscape Navigator) in the lower section of the browser window. Only browsers that use the 128-bit Secure Socket Layer technology are able to order through the Oscar and Belle, Inc. web site.

If your browser does not support SSL, you can get an upgrade at Microsoft's or Netscape's home page. Click here for more detailed instructions. While we implement these and other security measures on our site, please note that 100% security is not always possible.
