Full Privacy Statement

This Privacy Statement of CHII Clothing Company (“CHII,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) describes its policy for treatment of personal information (as defined below) located at www.culturestudio.net (individually and collectively, the “Site”). This Privacy Statement applies only to the Site, and it applies to the Site regardless of the platform on which it is used. For clarity, the Site includes all sites that are located on sub-domains or subdivisions of www.culturestudio.net, and the Privacy Statement currently applies to all such sub-domains or subdivisions. “You” in this Privacy Statement means you personally. If you visit other sites operated by CHII or other sites linked to the Site, the privacy policy for the Site will not control the practices for collecting and using personal information on those other sites. Additionally, this Privacy Statement does not apply to CHII’s practices for collecting and using personal information offline or from sites or apps other than the Site (even if that information is identical to the information gathered on the Site).

Note to residents of Canada: Personal information you provide in connection with your use of the Site may be processed and/or stored by CHII, its parent, affiliates, corporate partners, or third-party service providers in the United States. Any such processing and/or storage will take place in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Statement.

What is “personal information” and what personal information do we collect?

By “personal information,” we mean information that is reasonably identifiable to you or to a particular device.

Personal Information We may Collect . Personal information that we collect includes information that you provide voluntarily. Personal information requested might include, for example, your name, e-mail address, home address, telephone number or, where identifiable to you, other information such as your zip code. NOTE: If you elect to make purchases on the Site, you may be required to enter your credit card information. We do not collect sensitive credit card information on the Site that may be processed in connection with your purchases in connection with the Site. We outsource processing of credit card transactions to vendors that we understand to be compliant with appropriate Payment Card Industry standards for security. Additionally, you may have the option of connecting your account to social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, or Google+. Please note that if you make such an election, we will be entitled to collect information from the connected social networking website, even if you elect not to provide information to us yourself, and we will have access to the social media site information that is connected through such permission. That connected information, to the extent we collect it, will constitute personal information to the extent identifiable to you (alone or in combination with other information).

Navigational Information . When you visit the Site, we may capture certain information automatically (even if you do not voluntarily provide us with personal information, or in addition to personal information that you do provide). This information may include your Internet protocol address, ISP, location-based information, browser type, time and date of access and pages accessed, linking information, click stream, page visits, page views, and website log files. If such navigational information is reasonably identifiable to you or is reasonably identifiable to a particular device, it will be deemed personal information for purposes of this Privacy Statement. We reserve the right to match non-personal navigational information with other information that we have collected from you. If that other information renders such navigational information reasonably identifiable to you or a particular device, then by definition it will become personal information. Navigational information that is deemed personal information under this paragraph will be treated as such pursuant to this Privacy Statement.

Other Information You Voluntarily Provide : You may choose to contact us and the information you disclose may constitute personal information.

Children : Please note the Site is intended for general audiences over eighteen (18) years of age. For the avoidance of doubt, the Site is not directed to children younger than 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. (Please review our Terms of Use).

Suggestions and Ideas. Any suggestions or similar communications relating to CHII’s business or the Site how they might be changed, enhanced or improved are not treated as private or confidential under this Privacy Statement. We will, however, at all times use reasonable efforts to de-identify you personally with the suggestion.

How does CHII use the information it collects?
