The Information We Collect

Users can access limited features of this web site without disclosing personal information. In order to access the entire web site, users must register for an account, which will provide the registrant with full access to the web site, including access to the web site’s forums, message boards and chat rooms. During the account registration process, in order to provide you with the products and services that we make available on our site and give you access to the full functionality of SharpSkirts, we will collect some personally identifiable information, which may include, without limitation: IP Address, user name, password, e-mail address, city, time zone, telephone number, and any and all other information that you share with us or make visible on your public profile.

Additional Information; User Access and Control of Information

Providing additional information beyond the initial required registration information is entirely optional, but can help you have a better experience within the SharpSkirts community. Any additional information you provide including mobile or pager numbers, web site URLs and other web site information may also be collected. In the event that you contact SharpSkirts for any reason, we may maintain records of your correspondence and the e-mail address you used for that correspondence.

Any personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data that you disclose through the Communities, Forums, Message Boards, Chat Rooms, or other public online forums hosted on the Site may be collected and used by others. We recommend caution when giving out personal information to others in these public online forums. SharpSkirts encourages you to review the privacy statements of web sites you choose to visit via hyper-links posted on this web site so that you can understand how those web sites collect, use and share your information. SharpSkirts is not responsible for the privacy policies or other content on third-party web sites accessed through SharpSkirts’ web site.

You can access some of the information that we collect and process about you. For example, you can access information regarding recent orders from the web site; personally identifiable information (including name, e-mail, password, communications preferences); payment settings (including credit card information); e-mail notification settings; and prior order history.

Contact Information, Storage and Sharing

Except as provided herein, we will not sell or give any of the information we collect on our site or through any personal correspondence to a third-party entity. We reserve the right to use that information, however, to market any additional SharpSkirts services and products to you. SharpSkirts sometimes hires other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including but not limited to sending newsletters, providing customer service, and performing statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies with the information that they need to provide us with such services, and we prohibit them from using that information for any other purpose. You will always have the right to opt out of this type of communication by following the unsubscribe instructions included in any of the marketing e-mails we send you. SharpSkirts may store and process information in the United States or any other country in which Sharp Skirts, Inc. or its affiliates, subsidiaries, or agents maintain facilities. By using the Site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.

IP Address Use

When you log in to SharpSkirts.com we may collect your browser type and IP address. We may also store some information about your browser using “cookies”. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. We may use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in; however, you have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to set your computer to accept cookies from this web site, you may also choose to be logged into the site automatically. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of this web site or the other web sites that you visit and you may experience technical problems receiving current information from such cookie-disabled web sites.

Law and Law Enforcement Compliance

SharpSkirts will cooperate with government and law enforcement officials or private parties to enforce and comply with the law. This includes the disclosure, without notice, of any information we have collected about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, at our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims, legal process (including subpoenas); to protect the property and rights of SharpSkirts or a third party, the safety of the public or any person; to prevent or stop any illegal, unethical, or legally actionable activity; or to comply with the law.

Security

SharpSkirts secures the e-mail address you provide on our computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. If you choose to create a profile on the Site or if you choose to register for an account, you will be required to select a password. This password can be changed at any time after you first log into the service by using your current password. You must keep your password confidential and you must not share this information with anyone. If you share a computer with anyone, you should always log out of the web site before leaving it to prevent access to your information from subsequent users of that computer.

At SharpSkirts, we are very concerned and sensitive to the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information. We use various security measures to both protect our site and keep your information as safe as possible.

Should a breach of security occur, we will make any legally required disclosures of the breach as soon as possible, while still taking into account any legitimate needs of law enforcement or measures necessary to restore the security and integrity of our system. Any notification of breach will occur in a private e-mail correspondence with affected members or in a highly visible forum within the SharpSkirts interface itself.

Links to Other Web Sites; E-mail Referrals

On SharpSkirts, we encourage our members to share links to other web sites. This does not in any way speak as an endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with that third party. We strongly advise our members to be aware of and review any privacy or terms of use made available by these third-party sites, as we have no control over their ability to insert cookies or their collection/solicitation of your personally identifiable information. Any links that are found to link to sites that promote illegal or pornographic activity, however, will be removed. Until we have an integrated system in place for the reporting of these links, members may e-mail us with their concerns about any link on our site at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

If you choose to use any web site referral function to tell friends about the Site, you will be required to provide your name and e-mail address and the e-mail addresses of your friends. The form automatically sends your friends a one-time e-mail inviting them to visit the Site. We do not access or store this information, except to send the invitation to visit the Site. By using the referral form you are authorizing us to contact your friends on your behalf and to list your name and e-mail address as the referring party.
