We at Dime Boutique (“Dime Boutique,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) created this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) because we know that you care about how information you provide to us is used and shared. This Privacy Policy relates to the information collection and use practices of Dime Boutique in connection with our online services (the “Services”), which are made available to you through our website located www.dimebridal.com (the “Site”).
This Privacy Policy discloses what type of information is collected, the methods used to collect it, how Dime Boutique utilizes the information to better serve all interested parties and the choices you have about the way your information is collected and used. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By visiting our Site and/or using our Services, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the accompanying Terms of Use. Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning set forth in our Terms of Use. Every user hereby agrees that all information you provide, including but not limited to age, shall be truthful and correct.
Information We Collect
We do not collect any personal information from you unless you voluntarily provide it to us.
When you sign up to become a user of the Site (a “User”), you will be asked to provide us with certain personal information, such as your first name, last name, age, and email address. In this Privacy Policy, we refer to this information as “Personal Information.” Providing us with Personal Information about yourself is voluntary, however, choosing not to provide certain information, may restrict access or participation in some of the Site’s features. Dime Boutique actively and passively gathers, analyzes and/or stores Personal Information and other information generally by way of a few different sources: (1) the Personal Information voluntarily submitted by visitors when using or registering to use or receive our services or offers, or when submitted to us via our contact form; and (2) by tracking and analyzing online and mobile data and activity through mechanisms that identify site usage, user location, device type, browser types, IP addresses, and other data. We do not collect Personal Information through advertisements on our Site, and the Personal Information we collect is not shared with third parties except as set forth herein. We will make reasonable efforts to destroy, erase or make anonymous any Personal Information that is no longer required to fulfill the original purpose for which it was originally collected.

Like most websites, we use automatic data collection technology when you visit the Site to record information that identifies your computer, to track your use of our Site, and to collect certain basic information about you and your surfing habits. This information includes information about your operating system, your IP addresses, browser type and language, referring and exit pages and URLs, keywords, date and time, amount of time spent on particular pages, what sections of a website you visit, and similar information concerning your use of the Site and the Services (the “Usage Information”).

Use of IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer, device, or network when you are linked to the Internet. When you request pages from this Site, our servers log your IP address. We may use IP address for several purposes, such as system administration, to report aggregate information to our business partners or to audit the use of the Site. We may associate your IP address with the Personal Information you provide. We may also collect and store information about you that we receive from other sources to enable us to update and correct the information contained in our database and to provide product recommendations and special offers that we think will interest you.
Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties
We do not disclose your Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We, like many businesses, sometimes hire other companies to perform certain business-related functions. Examples include mailing information, maintaining databases, hosting services, and processing payments. When we employ another company to perform a function of this nature, we provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function, which may include Personal Information. If we or all or substantially all our assets are acquired, we expect that the information that we have collected, including Personal Information, would be transferred along with our other business assets.
We may disclose your Personal Information and Usage Information to government authorities and to other third parties when compelled to do so by government authorities, at our discretion, or otherwise as required by law, including but not limited to in response to court orders and subpoenas. We may also disclose your Personal Information and Usage Information when we have reason to believe that someone is or may be causing injury to or interference with our rights or property, other users of this Site, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.
How We Protect Your Information
We take commercially reasonable steps to protect the Personal Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Please understand, however, that no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to and from us over the Internet. In particular, e-mail sent to or from us may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail.
Browser Cookies
Like many websites, we may use browser “cookies.” Cookies are a website’s way of remembering who you are and help you personalize your online experience. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer’s hard drive or stored temporarily in your computer’s memory. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. There are two kinds of cookies: those that are “session” oriented and those that are “persistent.” Session cookies are deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent cookies retain information for later use tomorrow, next week, next month, or whenever they are set to expire. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. We use cookies to help us to identify account holders and to optimize their experience on our Site. Also, we will use cookies to monitor and maintain information about your use of this Site. Most web browsers accept cookies automatically. You can delete cookies manually or set your browser to automatically delete cookies on a predetermined schedule. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Site.

We recognize the importance of safeguarding the privacy of children and encourage parents to check and monitor their children’s use of online activities regularly. The Site supports and complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and other applicable laws. The Site is not aimed at nor intended for children under the age of 18. If you are under the age of 18, please do not use the Site. If Dime Boutique discovers that a person under the age of 18 has provided Dime Boutique with any Personal Information, Dime Boutique will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete such person’s Personal Information from its system.
