The policies below are applicable to hairlegends.com and related sites produced and maintained by Hair Legends Ltd., including but not limited to:   hairlegendsltd.com,  hairlegends.net,  phillipmason.com  and  ehairlegends.com.

Hair Legends Ltd. is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of consumers of its products and services.  Throughout the Web, we want to contribute to providing a safe and secure environment for consumers.  If you don't find your concern addressed here, feel free to contact us at 541-779-2221.

What Personal Information Do We Collect?

One of the basic principles we've followed in designing this web site is that we ask for only the information we need to provide the service you've requested.  As a result, the answer to this question depends almost entirely on how you choose to make use of our site and our growing list of services.

Hair Legends Ltd. collects personal information only during (i) online shopping (ii) when client questionnaires are filled out.  Hair Legends Ltd. may use such information to fulfill purchase orders, track compliance with the site's rules and regulations or for editorial and feedback purposes (to the extent that is explained when users provide the information).  In the event Hair Legends Ltd. plans to publicly post any such information on a site, users are provided prior notification of such posting and given the option of preventing such posting and only the user's first name is used.  Specifically requesting it from you collects personal information.  Generally this occurs when you register at a site, request a service, or purchase products.

In addition to the use of personal information to operate Hair Legends Ltd. sites, a Hair Legends Ltd. site may also gather anonymous information, which may be used by Hair Legends Ltd. [or shared with third parties].  This collective data helps us determine how our customers use parts of the site, so we can improve our site and ensure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many of you as possible.  We also may provide statistical "ratings" information, but never information about you personally, to our Hair Legends Ltd. partners about how our members, collectively, use Hair Legends Ltd.  We do this so they too can understand how people use their areas of our site in order for them to provide you with the best possible experience as well.  This information is also used to generate advertising rates.  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.

Information We Ask About You

Sometimes, we may specifically ask for information about you when you sign up to use a service or when you order a product.  We will need certain information -- such as name, email address or screen name, billing address, type of computer, credit card number -- in order to provide that service or product to you.  We may also use that information to let you know of additional products and services about which you might be interested.  [You can choose not to receive such information if you don't want to by letting us know on the registration screen when you sign up for the product or service.]  We also may ask you for information about your interests, but you may always choose whether to respond or not.

Use of Cookies

Cookies are pieces of information that a web site transfers to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes.  Cookies make web surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while you're at our site.  The use of cookies is standard in web-based industry, and many major sites use them to provide useful features for their customers.  By showing how and when guests use the site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not.  Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed.  This information is most easily tracked with cookies.  Cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify users, although they do identify a user's computer.  Most web browsers are initially set to accept cookies.  If you prefer, you can set yours to refuse them or to alert you when they are being sent.  However, it is possible that some areas of the site, such as the shopping, contest, and game areas, will not function properly if you do so.

Our site never uses cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie.  Except as described above, we do not use such information for any promotional or marketing purposes, nor is that information shared with any third parties whatsoever.  We do not use the information to identify specific individuals, except in such cases as online shopping and contest registration (where a cookie allows you to enter a contest every day without registering again each time).  You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers; we do not control these, and they are not subject to our policy.

How We Use the Information

We do not use or disclose information about your individual visits to our site or information that you may give us, such as your name, address, email address or telephone number, to any outside companies.  We may, however, share with our site partners aggregated statistical ratings information about the use of our site.  [Hair Legends Ltd. sites also use personal information to allow other companies to contact you regarding products and services that may be of interest to you (Secondary Uses).  If a Hair Legends Ltd. site proposes to use personal information for Secondary Uses, you will be provided an opportunity to instruct the Hair Legends Ltd. site not to allow such contact.]  Hair Legends Ltd. does not sell any customer lists or e-mail addresses.  However, we may partner with businesses to provide special services to our customers.  This type of use of personal information is called a Secondary Use because it is not necessary to the operation of the business or site.  For example, a site may offer discount coupons for services or related products.  In many cases these discounts would be an added benefit to you.  If a Hair Legends Ltd. site proposes to make a Secondary Use of your personal information you will be given an opportunity to instruct the Hair Legends Ltd. site not to allow such contact.  You may contact us at any time in order to direct us to remove your information from future mailings.

Hair Legends Ltd. may also disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to applicable law or comply with legal process served on Hair Legends Ltd. or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Hair Legends Ltd., the site or the users of Hair Legends Ltd., and (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Hair Legends Ltd., the site or the public.

Links to Other Sites

Users should be aware that when you are on Hair Legends Ltd. sites you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control.  There are links on our site that take you to other sites outside our service.  For example, if you click on a banner advertisement, the click takes you off the Hair Legends Ltd. site.  These links include links from advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use Hair Legends Ltd.'s logo as part of a co-branding agreement.  These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information.  Always be aware of where you end up.  Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information online - for example, via message boards or chat - that information can be collected and used by people you don't know.  While Hair Legends Ltd. strives to protect your personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online and you do so at your own risk.  Finally, please note that this policy applies only to Hair Legends Ltd. and sites that carry the Hair Legends Ltd. brand, and not to other companies' or organizations' sites to which we link.  We have clearly marked Hair Legends Ltd. and these branded sites with our logo so you know where this policy applies.

Security Policy

The importance of security for all personal information associated with you is of utmost concern to us.  We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC to our servers.  Personal information collected by Hair Legends Ltd. sites is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public.  In many instances, such as in the case of credit card numbers, the personal information is encrypted before you conduct your transaction.  Only those employees who need access to your information in order to do their jobs are allowed access, each having signed confidentiality agreements.  Any employee who violates our privacy and/or security policies is subject to disciplinary action, including possible termination and civil and/or criminal prosecution.

Chat Sessions and Newsgroups

In addition to directly providing information to a Hair Legends Ltd. site, you might also provide personal information through chat sessions, e-mail exchanges or newsgroups made available to you on Hair Legends Ltd.  The Privacy Policy does not cover this type of transfer of your personal information.  You should always be careful when distributing your personal information in this manner.  And remember that online chat sessions and newsgroup use is considered public and you are responsible for your actions in these areas.
