It is Fashion Emporium’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. This privacy policy applies to Fashion Emporium’s website found at fashion-emporium.co.za (hereinafter, “Fashion Emporium”, “us”, “we”, or “fashion-emporium.co.za”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide us through the website. We have adopted this privacy policy (“privacy policy”) to explain what information may be collected on our website, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties. This privacy policy applies only to information we collect through the website and the Google Ads lead form extension but does not apply to our collection of information from other sources.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Fashion Emporium collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring website, and the date and time of each visitor request. Fashion Emporium’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Fashion Emporium’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Fashion Emporium may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Fashion Emporium also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users. Fashion Emporium only discloses logged in user IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Fashion Emporium’s websites choose to interact with Fashion Emporium in ways that require Fashion Emporium to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Fashion Emporium gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at fashion-emporium.co.za to provide a username and email address.
