PRIVACY POLICY
The Company is committed respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the personal information the Company collects about you, why we collect it, how we use it, when we share it with third parties, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to review, correct, and opt out of our use of this information. This Privacy Policy applies to the information we collect about you in our store and through our Website.
By using our Website and by providing data to us for the purpose of creating your user account, adding personal details to your profile, and/or making a purchase, you are expressly accepting and consenting to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. You have the right to withdraw your consent to the Company’s processing of your data by changing your settings or closing your account, but please note that your withdrawal of consent will not be retroactive.
Gather and Use of Personal Information
The Company collects the following personal information from you when you use the Company’s Website or visit the Company’s store. The information we collect through our Website helps us provide you with information specific to your needs and interests.
- Cookies. Cookies are pieces of data assigned by a web server that uniquely identify the browser on your PC. “Session cookies” are used to ensure users are recognized when they move from page to page within one website and to ensure that any information you have entered is remembered. For example, if an ecommerce website did not use session cookies then items placed in a shopping basket would disappear by the time you reach the checkout. A session cookie expires immediately when you end your session (i.e., close your browser). Websites also use cookies called “persistent cookies,” which store information on your computer’s hard drive so that when you end your session and return to the same website at a later date, the cookie information is still available. Persistent cookies are used to enable a website to remember you on subsequent visits, speeding up or enhancing your experience of services or functions offered.
The Company attempts to install both persistent and session cookies when a user arrives at our Website. We use cookies to gather information about your navigational patterns through the Website, display information more effectively, personalize your experience, improve the quality of our service when you visit our Website, understand how our Website is used, market our products, and for security purposes. We also use cookies to remind us of who you are, tailor our products and advertising to suit your personal interests, analyze your visiting patterns, and process your orders. You have the option to accept or disable cookies at any time through your browser. Visit the “help” portion of your toolbar for more information. Keep in mind that if you block, disable, or refuse to accept cookies, or delete cookies between visits to the website, you may not be able to access or use certain features or functions of our Website, including making purchases.
- Server Statistics. We collect general statistics to track user trends on our Website. These statistics include hits to our server, the types of browsers used to access our Website, the locations from which users visit our Website, page views, and navigational patterns. We may track the Internet domain address from which people visit us, other electronic markers and identifies, and other information. The information that is collected in this manner does NOT provide us with any personally identifiable information about our users. It helps us track “where” our users are coming from. This allows us to pinpoint high traffic areas and determine the most effective ways to communicate with our users and to track user preference. As part of that ongoing analysis, the Company also uses devices called “web beacons” to help us identify when emails sent to you have been received and read. In order to prevent the introduction of viruses and hackers into the Website we may collect information, such as IP addresses, into a log file to be used to identify potential hackers.
- Personal Information You Provide Us. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” is any information that identifies you, would enable someone to contact you, or that describes your relationship with the Company, including your name, email address, postal address, phone number, credit card number, gender, username and password, etc. We collect and store Personal Information when you engage in activities such as visiting the Company’s Website or store, place an order online or by phone, make an in-store purchase or return, ask a question, complete a form, or send us an email. While you are not required to submit any information to our Website, if you do not provide the requested information, you may not be able to access or use some of the features and functions of our Website and we may not be able to provide you with certain services. The Company uses your Personal Information to complete transactions, respond to your requests, deliver the products and services you request, confirm your order status and shipment, to notify you of promotions, updates, or special offers that we think may interest you, and generally to make your shopping experience easier, more enjoyable, and more efficient.
If you submit any personal information relating to other people to us or to our service providers, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
- Personal Information Plus Cookies or Other Data. To better serve you, we may combine your personal information with cookies or other third party browsing and use data. We use that combined information to enhance and personalize your shopping experience.
Opting Out of Email Communications
If you are already receiving emails from the Company and no longer wish to receive such communications, simply follow the “unsubscribe” instructions that appear in the emails from the Company.If you change your mind and wish to opt back in to receiving email communications from the Company, you can start receiving promotional communications from us again by entering your email address in the top right-hand corner of our Website and pressing “subscribe.”
Please note that even if you opt out of receiving email communications from us, you will continue to receive certain non-promotional communications from us. When you make an online purchase from us, we will continue to confirm your order status and shipment by email. We may also need to contact you via telephone, email or postal mail with questions or information regarding your order.
Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties
The Company is the sole owner of the information collected on the Website. The information is used entirely and only by us, except in cases where we use third party agents to perform certain functions for us, such as credit card processing, delivering packages, fulfilling orders, analyzing data, or hosting our Website. In those cases, we provide only the information necessary for the performance of those specific functions. We also ask these third parties to confirm that their privacy practices are consistent with ours. We will not sell, share or rent this information to any other entity for any reason. The Company may also share your personal information as required by law or regulations or in response to a valid subpoena, order, or government request. In the unlikely event of a sale or merger of the Company, your personal information may be acquired by the company merging with or acquiring the Company.
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might be used for any other purpose or go to any other third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
Security Procedures Used to Protect Personal Information
We use physical, electronic, procedural, contractual, managerial, and administrative safeguards to help protect the security and privacy of your personal information and to assist us in preventing unauthorized access to your personal information. Except as specified in this Privacy Policy, we use commercially reasonable efforts to limit access to your Personal Information to the employees, agents, and officers of the Company who need the information for their jobs.
When our log in/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with encryption software. The Website is a secure website.
In addition to using encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also take measures to protect user information offline. Because our Websites are an extension of the Gabriela Artigas retail store, the store and online inventory and customer databases are linked. However, we do not store credit card numbers from online transactions and, at log in, users are offered the option of not having their billing or shipping address details stored in our customer database. If such an option is exercised, those details will remain only on the customer order form, which is necessary to track customer orders. Access to the customer database is limited to those employees with a need to perform specific functions (such as shipping, order transaction, customer service, and billing) and each access is password protected.
All email communication regarding sales orders will refer to credit card numbers only by their final four digits. If you have any questions about the security of our Website, you can send an email to sales@GabrielaArtigas.com.
While we strive to protect the security and privacy of your confidential information, unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, to the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our Website, and you do so at your own risk.
We urge you to keep any password that you establish with us in a safe place and not to divulge it to anyone. Also remember to log off your account and close your browser window when you have finished your visit. This is to ensure that others cannot access your account, especially if you are sharing a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place.
External Links on Our Website
This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by this Website. For your convenience and information, our Website may contain links to other websites, which may have privacy policies that differ from our own. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites or how those other companies or organizations collect, use, disclose, or secure the information that you provide them. If you choose to access third party websites linked to our Website, you do so at your own risk and subject to any terms of service or privacy policies associated with such third party websites. We recommend that you review the terms of conditions and privacy policies of any websites that you access through our Website.
Our products and services also may be made available to you through third-party platforms (such as other websites) or through other third-party channels. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any non-Company websites, mobile applications or services.
Collection of Information From Children
The Company does not direct any of our content specifically to children. Users of our Website are required to be at least 18 years old, and any user under 18 is not an authorized user. Our Website is a general audience Website and is not targeted or intended for use by children. We will never knowingly request Personal Information online from anyone under the age of eighteen (18). If we learn that a user is under eighteen (18) years of age, we will promptly delete any Personal Information we have collected about that user.
Your California Privacy Rights
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits customers of the Company who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
However, under the law, a business is not required to provide the above described lists if the business adopts and discloses to the public (in its privacy policy) a policy of not disclosing customers’ personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees to the disclosure. Except as expressly stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not share information with third parties for third parties’ direct marketing purposes unless you affirmatively agree to such disclosure typically by opting in to receive information from a third party that is participating in some activity describes on our Website. If you do ask us to share your information with a third party for its marketing purposes, we will only share information in connection with that specific activity. To prevent disclosure of your Personal Information for use in direct marketing by a third party, do not opt in to such use when you provide Personal Information on our Website. Please note that whenever you opt in to receive future communications from a third party, your information will be subject to the third party’s privacy policy. If you later decide that you do not want that third party to use your information, you will need to contact the third party directly, as we have no control over how third parties use information. You should always review the privacy policy of any party that collects your information to determine how that entity will handle your information.
Correcting/Updating Personal Information
If your personal information changes, please log into your online account to update your user information or contact us at sales@GabrielaArtigas.com.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use Personal Information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users in advance by email and users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. Unless permission to use information in another manner is granted, we will only use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
In the interest of resolving disputes between you and the Company in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and the Company agree to the following dispute resolution procedure:
In the event of any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or related to the Terms, the Website, the products and services available on the Website, any transaction conducted on the Website, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of the Terms or this Dispute Resolution provision or any part of it (“Dispute”), the party asserting the Dispute shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party (by first class or registered mail) describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent:
- To the Company at the address provided above.
- To you at: your last-used billing address or the billing and/or shipping address in your online profile.
Both you and the Company agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied prior to initiating any arbitration or filing any claim against the other party.
If this informal dispute resolution process is unsuccessful, both you and the Company agree that ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THESE TERMS, YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE, OR YOUR USE OR PURCHASE OF THE PRODUCTS AVAILABLE ON THIS WEBSITE WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or in any way related to these Terms or your use of the Company’s Website or products, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND THE COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
Any arbitration between you and the Company will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision in any such arbitration will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, scope, applicability, validity, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement. The Arbitrator or a court may sever any part of this arbitration agreement that does not comport with the Federal Arbitration Act and such severance will not invalidate the remaining portions of the arbitration agreement. The terms of this arbitration agreement shall survive after your use of the Website ends.
Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Los Angeles, California. The arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and the Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
GOVERNING LAW
By visiting the Website you agree that this agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of laws principles, except for the arbitration agreement above, which shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The waiver of any provision of the Terms by the Company shall not be considered a waiver of any other provision or of the Company’s right to require strict observance of each of the Terms herein.
Any disputes arising between you and the Company shall be settled and determined in Los Angeles, California by an arbitrator, or if for any reason the arbitration agreement is found to be invalid, in any court in Los Angeles, California. By visiting the Website, you irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of any of said arbitrators/courts for purposes of resolving such disputes and waive any claims or defense of inconvenient forum or lack of personal jurisdiction.
This Website has been designed to comply with the laws of the State of California and of the United States. If any material on this Website, or your use of the Website, is contrary to the laws of the place where you are when you access it, the Website is not intended for you, and we ask you not to use the Website. You are responsible for informing yourself of the laws of your jurisdiction and complying with them.
SEVERABILITY
If any of these Terms are deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that term will be severed and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining term or condition.
ASSIGNMENT
The Company may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets or equity, or by operation of law.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT
These Terms (including any document or terms expressly incorporated into these Terms) constitute the entire agreement between the user and the Company with respect to this Website and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written with respect to this Website.

TERMINATION
