COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
This site is owned and operated by Sensational Style. Your privacy on
the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At Sensational Style,

Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we
feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding
the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement
discloses what information we gather and how we use it.
INFORMATION SENSATIONAL STYLE
GATHERS AND TRACKS
SENSATIONAL STYLE
gathers one type of information about
users:
· Information that users provide through optional, voluntary
submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic
newsletters, to participate in our message boards or forums, to email
a friend, and from participation in polls and surveys:
Under no circumstances does
SENSATIONAL STYLE divulge any
information about an individual user to a third party.
Sensational Style Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require some type of
voluntary submission of personal information by users:
-
Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic
newsletter to users. Sensational Style gathers the email addresses of
users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this
mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that
points users to the subscription management page. Users can also
subscribe to the newsletters at the time of registration.
-
Message boards/forums
Users of the site's Message Boards
and Forums must register separately for these services (both are free
of charge) in order to post messages, although they needn't register
to visit the site. During registration the user is required to supply
a username, password, and email address.
-
"E-mail this to a friend" Service
Our site users can choose to
electronically forward a link, page, or documents to someone else by
clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The user must provide their email
address, as well as that of the recipient. This information is used
only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the
recipient know who sent the email. The information is not used for any
other purpose.
-
Polling
We may offer interactive polls to
users so they can easily share their opinions with other users and see
what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or other
responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any
particular user. Sensational Style may use a system to "tag" users
after they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular
question. This tag is not correlated with information about individual
users.
-
Surveys
Sensational Style may occasionally
conduct user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We
sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these
surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share
any of this information about specific individuals with any third
party.
Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally
identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without
requesting parental consent.
Usage tracking
Sensational Style tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our
sites. However, we do not correlate this information with data about
individual users. Sensational Style does break down overall usage
statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME
type by reading this information from the browser string (information
contained in every user's browser).
Sensational Style sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that
users enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never
associated with individual users. We use tracking information to
determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on
traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read,
but rather how well each page performs
USE OF INFORMATION
Sensational Style uses any information voluntarily given by our users
to enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to
provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better
prepare future content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in
order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to
participate in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out
newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the
newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think
subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are
doing. Sensational Style never shares newsletter mailing lists with
any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites
users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not
track what individual users read, but rather how well each page
performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for
you. We track search terms entered in Search function as one of many
measures of what interests our users. But we don't track which terms a
particular user enters.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
Sensational Style uses the above-described information to tailor our
content to suit your needs. We will not share information about
individual users with any third party, except to comply with
applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal
safety of our users or the public.
SECURITY
Sensational Style operates secure data networks protected by industry
standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and
privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary
and only authorized individuals have access to the information
provided by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices
include:
· Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
· Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which
completely alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable
information from our users

information by Sensational Style. If we decide to change our privacy
policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always
