In this Website Privacy Statement (“Statement”), we, Belle Bonica Luxe Corp.,  provide information about how we collect, use, and transfer personally identifiable data from you, a website visitor, through www.bellebonica.com (the “Site”) and any other websites we may establish and control from time to time.
Scope
This Statement covers only data collected through the Site and not any other data collection or processing, including, without limitation, data collection practices of other web pages to which we link or data that we or our affiliates collect offline or through websites that do not display a direct link to this Statement.
Types of Data and Collection Methods
Through the Site, we receive data that you actively submit as well as data that we may track:
Actively Submitted Data:
When you request information, subscribe for a service, register as a user, respond to an online survey or otherwise actively send us data, we usually collect data such as your name, email address(es), mailing address(es), telephone number(s), and certain information related to the business you conduct.  In connection with chargeable services and/or merchandise, we will also collect payment information (e.g., credit card number and related verification information).  In each such instance, you will know what data we collect through the Site, because you actively submit it.

Passively Tracked Data:
When you visit the Site, we may also passively track information on your computer and Internet connection, such as the IP address of your computer and/or Internet service provider, the date and time you access our Site, the Internet address of websites from which you link to our Site, the computer technology you are using and your movements and preferences on our Site.  We use technology that many other websites employ, including, without limitation, “cookies” or small data files stored on your computer’s hard drive, to collect information such as the aforementioned.  In some instances, we also use cookies to collect information in connection with future visits, to recognize you as a previous visitor and to track your activity at the Site.
 Combinations: Unless you also actively submit personal information such as your name or address, passively tracked data does not typically allow us to identify you personally (even though it can theoretically be done, we do not have the means or an interest to find out who you are, unless you identify yourself voluntarily through an active submission of data).  To the extent permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to combine passively tracked data with personal data that you actively submit.
Collection Purposes, Use of Data

-We may collect passively tracked data primarily for purposes of administering, protecting and improving our Site and our systems, to better understand the preferences of our Site visitors, to identify server problems, to compile aggregated statistics about Site usage, and to help personalize your experience of our Site.

-We collect actively submitted data primarily for two purposes: First, for the purpose for which you originally sent us the data (e.g., to order products or sign you up for a newsletter).  Second, for purposes of informing you about products, sales and offerings from Belle Bonica Luxe Corp.
