"Personally Identifiable Information"
refers to any

address, financial profiles, social security number, and credit card

or demographic information
not connected to an identified individual.

Customers. We do not control how these third parties use such
information, but we do ask them to disclose how they use personal
information provided to them from Visitors and Authorized Customers.
Some of these third parties may be intermediaries that act solely as
links in the distribution chain, and do not store, retain, or use the
information given to them.

We use Personally Identifiable Information to customize the Site, to
make appropriate service offerings, and to fulfill buying and selling
requests on the Site. We may email Visitors and Authorized Customers
about research or purchase and selling opportunities on the Site or
information related to the subject matter of the Site. We may also use
Personally Identifiable Information to contact Visitors and Authorized
Customers in response to specific inquiries, or to provide requested
information.
With whom may the information may be shared?
Personally
Identifiable Information about Authorized Customers may be shared with
other Authorized Customers who wish to evaluate potential transactions
with other Authorized Customers. We may share aggregated information
about our Visitors, including the demographics of our Visitors and
Authorized Customers, with our affiliated agencies and third party
vendors. We also offer the opportunity to "opt out" of receiving
information or being contacted by us or by any agency acting on our
behalf.

Personally Identifiable Information collected by Compare Fragrance is
securely stored and is not accessible to third parties or employees of

being contacted by us and/or our vendors and affiliated agencies by
responding to emails as instructed, or by contacting us at privacy@comparefragrance.co.uk
Are Cookies Used on the Site?
Cookies are used for a
variety of reasons. We use Cookies to obtain information about the
preferences of our Visitors and the services they select. We also use
Cookies for security purposes to protect our Authorized Customers. For
example, if an Authorized Customer is logged on and the site is unused
for more than 10 minutes, we will automatically log the Authorized
Customer off.
How does Compare Fragrance use login information?
Compare
Fragrance uses login information, including, but not limited to, IP
addresses, ISPs, and browser types, to analyze trends, administer the
Site, track a user's movement and use, and gather broad demographic
information.
What partners or service providers have access to Personally
Identifiable Information from Visitors and/or Authorized Customers on
the Site?
Compare Fragrance has entered into and will
continue to enter into partnerships and other affiliations with a
number of vendors.
Such vendors may have access to certain
Personally Identifiable Information on a need to know basis for
evaluating Authorized Customers for service eligibility.
Our
privacy policy does not cover their collection or use of this
information.
Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information to comply with law.
We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information in order to
comply with a court order or subpoena or a request from a law
enforcement agency to release information. We will also disclose
Personally Identifiable Information when reasonably necessary to
protect the safety of our Visitors and Authorized Customers.
How does the Site keep Personally Identifiable Information
secure?
All of our employees are familiar with our security
policy and practices. The Personally Identifiable Information of our
Visitors and Authorized Customers is only accessible to a limited
number of qualified employees who are given a password in order to
gain access to the information. We audit our security systems and
processes on a regular basis. Sensitive information, such as credit
card numbers or social security numbers, is protected by encryption
protocols, in place to protect information sent over the Internet.
While we take commercially reasonable measures to maintain a secure
site, electronic communications and databases are subject to errors,
tampering and break-ins, and we cannot guarantee or warrant that such
events will not take place and we will not be liable to Visitors or
Authorized Customers for any such occurrences.
How can Visitors correct any inaccuracies in Personally
Identifiable Information?
Visitors and Authorized Customers
may contact us to update Personally Identifiable Information about
them or to correct any inaccuracies by emailing us at privacy@comparefragrance.co.uk
Can a Visitor delete or deactivate Personally Identifiable
Information collected by the Site?
We provide Visitors and
Authorized Customers with a mechanism to delete/deactivate Personally
Identifiable Information from the Site's database by contacting privacy@comparefragrance.co.uk.
However, because of backups and records of deletions, it may be
impossible to delete a Visitor's entry without retaining some residual
information. An individual who requests to have Personally
Identifiable Information deactivated will have this information
functionally deleted, and we will not sell, transfer, or use
Personally Identifiable Information relating to that individual in any
way moving forward.
What happens if the Privacy Policy Changes?
We will let
our Visitors and Authorized Customers know about changes to our
privacy policy by posting such changes on the Site. However, if we are
changing our privacy policy in a manner that might cause disclosure of
Personally Identifiable Information that a Visitor or Authorized
Customer has previously requested not be disclosed, we will contact
such Visitor or Authorized Customer to allow such Visitor or
Authorized Customer to prevent such disclosure.
