Your privacy is important to us. Fine Vintage Fair is committed to protecting all personal information that is provided to us. The following is a description of our policies and practices regarding your personal information.
In the course of operating FineVintageFair.com, we may collect two types of information about our users (Personal Information and Non-Personal Information) for the purposes of sales, research, site development, marketing and promotions.
PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal Information is personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, e-mail address, birth date and gender. We collect Personal Information when you choose to provide it to us when placing an order or registering for a service, such as becoming a Fine Vintage Fair member, entering a Fine Vintage Fair promotion or choosing to receive a Fine Vintage Fair newsletter. In addition, if you choose to contact any of our representatives, we may keep a record of that correspondence so that we may fully address the comment or concern.
Business contact information such as the name, title, business address, email address or telephone number of a business or professional person or an employee of an organization is not considered Personal Information.
NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION:
Non-Personal Information is that of an anonymous nature, such as an IP Address (Internet Protocol Address), the domain used to access a Fine Vintage Fair service, or the type and version of the browser or operating system being used. Information, such as demographic statistics of our users (e.g. geographical allocation, gender, etc.), number of visitors and average time spent on a Fine Vintage Fair page, is also considered Non-Personal Information. Non-Personal Information will be used to evaluate site and marketing program performance.
COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Fine Vintage Fair and their agents and representatives collect personal information in a number of circumstances. For example, when you visit FineVintageFair.com, we may collect personal information from you such as name, home address, e-mail address, age, purchase history, products used or searched for, phone number used to call customer service and credit card information for purposes such as events and contests; registrations for our newsletter; shopping in the shopping area at www.FineVintageFair.com; and participation in other promotions and interactive online activities. We may collect personal information with your consent or as required or permitted by law.
Specifically with respect to the Shopping area we may collect personal information, for example, when you register, sign in, search, purchase products, participate in a contest or questionnaire or communicate with customer service. We may also automatically collect certain types of information, including the telephone number used to call customer service and, if you visit our Shopping area, information collected through “cookies”.

When business partners or third parties are acting on our behalf as our agents, suppliers or service providers, solely to enable us to more efficiently provide you with Fine Vintage Fair services. Such entities act under strict contractual controls, requiring them to maintain the confidentiality of all such Personal Information and to use such information solely for purposes related to the provision of Fine Vintage Fair;
As required by law, including by an order of any court, institution or body with jurisdiction or authority to compel the production of information, or in order to protect or defend a legal interest; or

CONSENT
Consent to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information may be given in various ways. Consent can be express (for example, orally, electronically or on a form you may sign describing the intended uses and disclosures of personal information) or implied (for example, when you provide information necessary for a service you have requested, or in some circumstances, where notice has been provided to you about our intentions with respect to your personal information and you have not withdrawn your consent for an identified purpose, such as by using an “opt out” option provided, if any). Consent may be given by your authorized representative (such as a legal guardian or a person having a power of attorney). When you voluntarily provide us with your personal information, we assume you consent to its collection, use and disclosure in accordance with this Privacy Statement and as described at the time of collection, subject to any uses and disclosures you have opted not to participate in. In some circumstances, we may expressly request your consent to the collection, use or disclosure of your personal information or provide you with an opportunity to opt out of certain uses or disclosures of your personal information. In some limited circumstances, where permitted or required by law, we may collect, use or disclose your personal information without your consent, for example, to collect a debt that you owe to us, to comply with a court order or to comply with local or federal regulations or a legally permitted inquiry by a government agency. You may withdraw your consent to our collection, use and disclosure of personal information at any time, subject to contractual and legal restrictions and reasonable notice. Note that if you withdraw your consent to certain uses of your personal information, we may no longer be able to provide our products or services.
