What kinds of personal information does Coast Ballroom Shoes collect?
In general, you can visit Coast Ballroom Shoes on the Web without telling us who you are or revealing any personal

able to customize your experience. We ask for information from you in several ways from different parts of our

information such as your name, e-mail address, and other information to process and fulfill your order. We also
request certain other optional information that will enable us to provide you with a more personalized experience
when using Coast Ballroom Shoes Web site. We will let you know what information is optional, and you decide whether
or not you want to provide that information or to receive .letters or third party correspondence.

be notified before the data is collected or transferred, and you can decide not to participate. Most of these promotions

What are cookies and how does Coast Ballroom Shoes use them?
Part of our customized service involves using "cookies" so that we can immediately recognize you,
determine when you - or someone using the same browser you previously used - revisits Coast Ballroom Shoes, and
to provide a more personalized experience. A "cookie" is a chunk of data that is sent to your browser
from a web server and stored by your browser on the hard drive of your computer. Your browser settings must be
set to accept cookies before you can log-in or customize. Most browsers are set up to accept cookies, but you can
usually change your browser settings to refuse them. Coast Ballroom Shoes does not use cookies to retrieve personal
information about you from your computer. This policy does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers on our
Web site.
Coast Ballroom Shoes uses cookies to:
1. Locate your name and account information when you log in to our Web site so that you can access your account
information. When you log in, the cookie is set, and when you sign-out, the cookie is modified.
2. Estimate the size of our audience. Each browser that accesses Coast Ballroom Shoes Web site is given a unique
cookie, which is used to calculate how many people return to our Web site, compare the number of registered and
unregistered visitors to our site, and use customer interests and behavior to target our advertisements.
3. Help Coast Ballroom Shoes partners track visits and complete business transactions. This information is sometimes
called "click stream" or "click trail."
4. Track the way you use our promotions, contests, and sales. When a Coast Ballroom Shoes-hosted promotion uses
cookies, the information written to the cookie tracks the user's progress through the promotion (for example, entries,
submissions, and status in prize drawings).
5. Measure the traffic to various areas of the Coast Ballroom Shoes Web site. We measure the areas of the network
of Web sites you visit and your visiting patterns in the aggregate. This research helps us understand the ways
in which our customers are alike and the ways in which they differ. We may use this information to personalize
the information and design in our Web site.
What about the privacy of children?
Coast Ballroom Shoes is a general audience Web site and does not request the age of its customers. If a child
wants to log in or register at our site, we prefer that a parent or guardian do so instead of the child. In this
way, we have a parent or guardian's consent before we gather any information from the user. |
