Sharing Your Information

We do not rent or sell your personal contact information (such as your email address associated with your account with us) to third parties for their own marketing purposes. However, Ultra Chic may in some cases allow third parties, including users and our partners, to communicate with you through the site for marketing purposes. Additionally, any information you publicly share through your account with us is available to third parties and other users, and we cannot control third parties' use of your information. We may share some of your information with third parties in connection with your use of the site. These shares typically fall into the following objectives and categories:

 

• Analysis and Use: We may share your personal information in an aggregated or compiled form with third parties such as advertisers, specialists, or other companies. For example, we may disclose to any business owner the number of users who view their products. Specialists and companies registered on Ultra Chic can access analytics and information processing platforms linked to your profile when you register with Ultra Chic (but not identified by your email address or non-public personal information), which allows them to know if you have added their products or designs to your design book on specific dates.

   

• External Advertising Networks: We use third-party advertising companies to display advertisements on third-party sites, and we may work with them to display advertisements on our site, as well as to help us evaluate the effectiveness of our advertisements in accordance with applicable law. These companies use cookies, web beacons, and tracking technologies to collect information (which does not include your name, address, email address, or phone number) about your visits to this and other sites for the purpose of displaying targeted advertisements to you. Please refer to the External Advertising section below for more information.

   

• Our Affiliates: We may share information about you with our affiliated companies or those under common management, in which case we will require them to comply with the terms of this privacy policy.

Cookies and other tracking technologies

We at Ultra Chic, and the third parties we work with, including service providers, use cookies in connection with your use of the site and third-party sites (which are small text files that most websites visited by the user store on the computer, and these files contain a set of information specific to the user of those sites, such as: login data). We also use web beacons for similar purposes on our site and in emails sent to our customers (for example, to help us track email response rates, determine when they are viewed, and track whether those messages are resent). In addition, we use local shared objects (sometimes referred to as "Flash cookies"), JavaScript, log files, and similar technologies (together with cookies and web beacons, all referred to as "cookies" in this policy) to track and analyze site usage and facilitate advertising on it and on third-party sites.

 

We also use cookies to collect or transfer your information and your use of the site or third-party sites, such as your browser type, your preferred searches, data related to advertisements displayed to you or those you clicked on, and your interests on our site and other sites, and the time and date of your use. When we use cookies, it is to enhance the site's features and approach, provide reliability and security for your transactions on the site, store your preferences, facilitate relevant advertisements, and help us understand user interaction on the site, and understand your activities after leaving the site. Our cookies may be persistent or stored throughout the personal use period.

 

You can disable third-party tracking for certain advertising purposes (as mentioned above) to help you control targeted advertising by third parties who track your activities across sites. It may be possible to disable specific cookies through device or browser settings, which may vary depending on the browser or device but can usually be found in the preferences or security settings menu. However, disabling these files may affect your ability to use the site, and if you are not satisfied with the use of these cookies, please do not use this site.

 

• Do Not Track Signals: Please note that we do not change our system within the site in response to browser Do Not Track requests. However, you can disable certain tracking as mentioned previously in this section (for example, by disabling cookies or advertising networks).

   

• Third-Party Analytics: We also use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate the use of our site and the services we provide, and you can disable Google Analytics and review the privacy policy. We use these tools to collect non-personal information about users to help us improve our services, performance, and user experience. Providers of these analytics may use cookies to perform their services, and they may combine the information they collect about you on the site with other information. This privacy policy does not cover the use of data by third parties.

   

Third-Party Advertisements

As previously stated in this privacy policy, we may work with third parties such as advertising networks to display advertisements on external sites or other media, and we evaluate the success of our advertising campaigns, including Facebook, Google, and others (both Facebook and Google provide additional ways to disable certain advertising activities), and maintain their privacy policies that address their desires for advertising services). We may also work with third parties to display advertisements on our site.

 

Ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors, and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including animated images), and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and personalize advertisement content for you. This in turn allows us and third parties to target advertisements for products and services that are relevant to you, based on your activities on our site and other sites. Third-party cookies and other technologies are subject to their respective privacy policies. We may also provide third-party advertisers with information about members or allow them to collect certain information through the site (such as: IP address and demographic information), but we do not disclose your name, contact information, or any other personal information about you to them.

 

Suspending your subscription to one or more of these companies/entities will disable your subscription and prevent you from receiving content or advertisements relevant to you, based on your activities on several websites, but this does not mean that you will not receive any advertisements from our site on other sites. You can continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on a specific site you are browsing (i.e., content-based advertisements). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies or you delete them later, your deactivation will not be effective.

 

Social Media Links and Pages

Our site includes social media features, such as the Facebook "Share This" button, as well as other interactive programs that operate on both our site and our services and third-party sites. We also provide certain features for work (such as blogs and comments). Such features collect your IP address and the page you are visiting, and may set "cookies" to enable them to function properly and for other purposes. When these features are displayed on our site, they will be added to third parties and subject to their privacy policies. All your interactions with these features are subject to the privacy policy of the providing company.

 

Choice and Access to Your Personal Information

As a site user, you have certain choices about how to control your personal data, including your public profile information, communication settings, network linking, and disabling third-party tracking for specific advertising purposes. These options have been described in this privacy policy in the relevant sections. Furthermore, you can modify any information in your personal account that you provided when logging in and update your profile information. Please be aware that copies of information you have updated, modified, or deleted may persist for some time, and we may retain these copies as part of our business records.

 

Security

We have implemented security safeguards to protect your personal information provided to us, both during transmission and once received. However, there is no method of transmitting information over the internet or via mobile phone or electronic storage that is 100% secure - therefore, absolute security cannot be guaranteed. You must take certain steps to protect your account and personal information, such as choosing a strong password and maintaining its confidentiality, and logging out of your account when you finish using the site.

 

Links to Other Websites

Our site contains links to other websites that are not controlled by us, so please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to be cautious when leaving our site and to read the privacy policies of any site you visit. This privacy policy applies only to the information collected by our site.

 

Privacy Policy Amendments and Updates

We reserve the right to revise this Privacy Policy from time to time, and the latest version will govern our use of your personal information and will be available on this page. In the event that we make changes to this policy, we will send you a notification via email or post a notice on the website, and by continuing to access or use the website after these changes become effective, you as a user agree to be bound by the amended Privacy Policy.
