Privacy Policy
Atmosphere HomeStyle
is committed to providing those who use or visit Atmosphere HomeStyle’s
Internet Web sites with a safe and secure Internet environment
that respects and protects their personal privacy. The
following privacy policy is in effect for every Web site maintained
or operated by Atmosphere HomeStyle (the “Web site”),
and we ask you to read it thoroughly.
Our Pledge
- We will not release personally identifiable information
about you if you have specifically instructed us not to
(except as may be needed to provide services you have expressly
requested, or if we believe disclosure is necessary under
one of the exceptions discussed below).
- We will provide mechanisms for you to communicate your
privacy questions and concerns to us and that we will make
every effort to respond to them.
Your consent
By using the services provided to you through the Web site,
you consent to the collection and use of your information
as outlined in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right
to change this Privacy Policy at any time, but all changes
will be posted to this page so that you are can remain informed
as to what information we collect and how we use it. Changes
are effective when posted to this page, and your continued
use after any change is posted is an acceptance of the change.
Helpful Definitions
"Personally identifiable information" is information-such
as name, birth date, e-mail address or mailing address, financial
information and other types of information that can be used
to uniquely identify a user.
"Anonymous Information" is information that does
not personally identify you. This includes information
on how you use our site (such as places visited and search
queries performed). Anonymous information also includes the
domain names and/or I.P. addresses (as explained in greater
detail below) of browsers that visit our site, time of day
the site was visited, and other non-personally identifiable
information. Anonymous information is information that is
not tied to any individual.
Collection and Use of Personally Identifiable Information
Registration
You can visit our Web site without telling us who you are
or revealing any personally identifiable information about
yourself to us. It is only when you wish to receive additional
services or goods that we may require you to register with
us by providing certain personally identifiable information
and we may ask you to select a user name and password. The
Company will use this information to:
- Welcome you to the Web site.
- Send communications from to you about the Web site, including
new features and services available through the Web site.
- Share your information with affiliates, and allow them
to contact you directly, if you have consented to this
beforehand.
- Verify your qualifications for receiving goods or services
we offer over the Web site or for other programs or activities.
If you indicate to us that you do not want to receive certain
types of communications at the time of registration, we will
respect your wishes, and comply with your preferences, however
there may be cases where this will limit the Web site services
available to you.
Sharing Personally Identifiable Information with Third
Parties
If we share Personally Identifiable information with third
parties that you have consented to, they may use the data we
provide them (sometimes, in connection with other information
they may have gathered about you), but are generally prohibited
from sharing this information with other companies or people
without your consent.
PLEASE NOTE: In certain special cases, we may disclose your
personally identifiable information when we have reason to
believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify,
contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing
injury to you, or otherwise injuring or interfering with Atmosphere
HomeStyle's rights, property or operations, other Web site
users, or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities.
We may also disclose your personally identifiable information
when we believe the law requires it, or in response to any
demand by law enforcement authorities in connection with a
criminal investigation, or civil or administrative authorities
in connection with a pending civil case or administrative investigation.

Anonymous Information
When you use the Web site, we may collect anonymous information,
even if you have not registered with Atmosphere HomeStyle.
We may use this information to examine how the Web site is
used or to help Atmosphere HomeStyle improve the services
it offers to users.
Atmosphere HomeStyle will not share
any anonymous information about your use of the Web site
with third parties if we know that this anonymous information
will be linked by third parties with personally identifiable
information of yours obtained from another source, unless
we have given you notice as described above and you have
given us authorization to do so.
Cookies
A "cookie" is a small piece of data that is sent
to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's
hard drive. Cookies are harmless bits of code that an Internet
site assigns to your browser to keep track of who you are
when you use a Web site. There is no risk of the information
on your hard drive being exposed to the outside world since
a web site can only read the cookies it creates.
Cookies are sometimes used on the Internet to improve the
delivery of services to users by enabling the Web site to "customize" the
particular services or information offered to each user.
Atmosphere HomeStyle may employ or use cookies from time
to time. You will be given a choice as to whether you
want to participate in the use of cookies before they are
used. Third parties, however, may have their own policies
about the use or cookies, and Atmosphere HomeStyle does not
have control over these practices. You are responsible
for obtaining information about cookies on third party Web
sites if you believe this is important to know.
As a general rule, you can choose whether to accept cookies
by changing the settings of your browser. You can reset your
browser to refuse all cookies, or allow your browser to show
you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not to accept
these cookies, your experience at our site and other Web
sites may be diminished and some features will not work as
intended.
Use of IP Addresses
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a set of numbers that
is assigned to your computer. Web servers - the powerful
computers that provide web pages for viewing - automatically
identify your computer by the IP address assigned to it during
your session online.
Atmosphere HomeStyle may collect IP addresses for purposes
of system administration and to monitor and audit the use
of the Web site. We can and will use IP addresses to identify
users of the Web site when we feel it is necessary to enforce
compliance with Atmosphere HomeStyle's terms of use or terms
of service, or to protect our service, site, or other users.
We will not share or sell linked user behavior and personal
user information with any third parties unless you have given
us authorization to do so.
PLEASE NOTE: Under certain circumstances, IP addresses
and/or domain names may be linked to personally identifiable
information, when said information is stored in databases
managed by Internet registrars or registries such as Network
Solutions.
Third Party Relationships
WEB SITES THAT ARE OPERATED OR MAINTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES
ARE NOT COVERED BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY. Whenever you
authorize Atmosphere HomeStyle to share information about
you with third parties, you are responsible for determining
whether the third party employs an acceptable privacy policy. The
Company does not automatically make this determination for
you, and does not warrant that any particular third party
maintains a privacy policy that is acceptable to you.
Security
Atmosphere HomeStyle operates secure data networks protected
by industry standard procedures, to attempt to protect against
the loss, misuse and alteration of your user data under our
control.
Only authorized employees have access to the information
you provide us. For example, we impose strict rules on employees
who have access either to the databases that store user information
or to the servers that host our services. While we cannot
guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not
occur; we will make every effort (such as the use of employee
passwords and non-disclosure agreements) to prevent such
unfortunate occurrences.
