We strive to use information to provide the best possible service while respecting the confidentiality of information with which we are entrusted. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information we may receive or collect when you use www.bestbridalhawaii.com (the “Site”) and/or make use of the various services offered to you through our business (collectively, “Services”), as well as some of the methods we use to safeguard your personal information. This Privacy Policy has been developed with the recognition that Internet technologies are rapidly evolving, and that underlying business models may not be established. Accordingly, this privacy policy is subject to change.
How we use your information
The information the Site collects is used to comprehensively understand your needs and interests, and permits the Company to deliver a more consistent and personalized experience. For example, the Company may use your information to:
· assist you in completing a transaction or order;
· communicate with you about products and services;
· provide service and support;
· update you on new services and benefits;
· provide personalized promotional offers; and
· select content to be communicated to you.
Your information may be aggregated with other users’ information on a purely non-identifiable basis to understand how our products are used to help make them better.
Collection of personally identifiable and anonymous information
Personally Identifiable Information. The Site collects Personally Identifiable Information in order to establish your contact information, to handle billing, and to understand your specific needs to serve you better. “Personally Identifiable Information” is information about you that is personally identifiable, such as your name, address, email address, credit card number, or phone number. Personally Identifiable Information does not include information that is collected anonymously (that is, without identification of the individual user) or demographic information not connected to an identified individual.
Contact and Inquiry Forms. When you complete a contact or inquiry form on the Site, we may require that you supply your name, e-mail address, phone number, country, and state of residence. This information is utilized for the purpose of contacting you in response to your inquiry and may be provided to third-party vendors to assist with Services offered by the Company.
Anonymous Information. The Site may gather anonymous information, which may be used by the Site or shared with third parties. “Anonymous Information” is information which does not personally identify you, but which may be helpful for marketing purposes or for improving the services we offer. Generally, this information is collected through “traffic data” and may entail the use of “cookies,” “IP addresses,” or other numeric codes used to identify a computer.
Cookies. The Site may employ cookies and other technologies to enhance your online experience, to learn about how you use the Site and our Services, and to recognize you and your return visits to the Site. A “cookie” is a small file containing a string of characters that uniquely identifies your browser. While most browsers accept cookies by default, you can manually set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept cookies from specific websites, or highlight when a cookie is sent to your browser. Servers utilized by the Company may automatically record information when you visit our website, including the URL that directed you to our website, your IP address, browser type, as well as the date and time of your visit.
IP Addresses. The Site may log IP addresses for systems administration, troubleshooting, and remarketing purposes. Your IP address indicates the location of your computer on the Internet. We do not log IP addresses to track your session, nor do we link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable.
Credit Card Information. If you use a credit card to make payment through the Site, it will be used one time only to fulfill your requested order. Credit card information is used solely for payment processing and fraud prevention efforts. Credit card information, and other sensitive personal information required to process a credit decision, is not used for any other purposes by us, and will not be retained any longer than necessary to provide your services.
Policy on sharing your information
This Site uses Google Analytics to collect data, including Anonymous Information. The Company uses this data to understand how you use our website so we can improve its design and functionality. The Company also uses the data to get the most out of our marketing efforts. Certain information collected is automatically shared with Google, including the URL of the page you are visiting and your IP address. Google may also set cookies on your browser or read cookies that are already there. Please refer to the Google Privacy Policy to learn more about how Google processes data for each of these purposes and the Google Advertising page for more about Google ads, how your information is used in the context of advertising, and how long Google stores this information.

Here are some of the ways you can control the information that is shared by your device when you visit or interact with sites and apps that use Google services:
(i) Google’s Ad Settings helps you control ads you see on Google services (such as Google Search or YouTube), or on non-Google websites and apps that use Google ad services. You can also learn how ads are personalized, opt out of ad personalization, and block specific advertisers.
(ii) If you are signed in to your Google Account, and depending on your Account settings, My Activity allows you to review and control data that is created when you use Google services, including the information we collect from the sites and apps you have visited. You can browse by date and by topic, and delete part or all of your activity.
(iii) Many websites and apps use Google Analytics to understand how visitors engage with their sites or apps. If you do not want Analytics to be used in your browser, you can install the Google Analytics browser add-on. Learn more about Google Analytics and privacy.
(iv) Incognito mode in Chrome allows you to browse the web without recording webpages and files in your browser or Account history (unless you choose to sign in). Cookies are deleted after you have closed all of your incognito windows and tabs, and your bookmarks and settings are stored until you delete them.
(v) Many browsers, including Chrome, allow you to block third-party cookies. You can also clear any existing cookies from within your browser. Learn more about managing cookies in Chrome.
The Company will not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to others. The Company may share Personally Identifiable Information with companies working on our behalf and Company-owned business entities for the purposes detailed above. In any such case, however, we require that the companies or entities adhere to privacy standards and policies at least as restrictive as those the Company has in place.
Circumstances may arise, whether for strategic or other business reasons, in which the Company decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses in various countries. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or, conversely, the receipt of such personal information from sellers. In such case, the Company shall seek appropriate protection for all personal information in advance of any such transaction.
We may have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to: (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or legitimate governmental request, (b) detect, prevent, or otherwise address suspected fraud, security or technical issues, (c) enforce any applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof, or (d) protect against imminent harm to the rights, property or safety of the Company, its users or the general public as required or permitted by law.
Sites covered by this Privacy Policy
The Site may from time-to-time link to third-party websites for your convenience and to provide easy access to additional useful information. Should you select such a link, you will leave the Site. The Company does not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from the Company’s practices and policies. Any personal data you choose to provide to, or that is collected by such third parties, is not in any way covered by the Company’s Privacy Policy. We recommend that you read over such website’s privacy policy before providing any personal information. A link to another website from the Company does not constitute an endorsement or representation about the value, quality, or usefulness of anything found on that third-party website. The Company is not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of websites to which it may link.
Keeping your information secure
The Company values your trust and takes it seriously. To prevent unauthorized access and disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of your information, the Company utilizes industry-standard physical, technical, and administrative procedures to safeguard any personal information we collect. However, no Internet or e-mail transmission is ever fully secure or error-free. Please take special care in deciding what information you send to us through the Site or by e-mail.
Opting-Out, Corrections and Cancellations
Upon request, the Company will: (a) remove you and your personal information from our database; (b) correct personal information that you state is erroneous; or (c) permit you to “opt out” of further e-mail contact (except notification of major changes or necessary communication) while still allowing access to the Site. To request a correction or cancellation, please contact our team at [info@bestbridalhawaii.com].
A Special Note About Children
The Company does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 18. Children are not eligible to use the Company’s Services, and we ask that minors not submit any information to us. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 18 has provided Personal Data to the Company through the Site, please contact us using the information below, and we will endeavor to erase such information from our databases.
