Personal Information about Customers.
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with a safe, efficient, and personalized experience. We only collect personal information about you that we consider necessary for this purpose.
In general, you can browse the Site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. Once you give us your personal information, you are not anonymous to us. If you choose to use our services, we may require you to provide contact and identity information, financial information and other personal information as indicated on the forms throughout the Site. Where possible, we indicate which fields are mandatory and which fields are optional. You always have the option not to provide information by choosing not to use a particular service or feature.
We automatically collect and process certain information based upon your use of the Site. We use this information to conduct internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand, serve and protect you and our community. This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on the Site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on the Site or not), browser information, and your IP address.
We use data collection devices such as "cookies" on certain pages of the Site. "Cookies" are small files placed on your hard drive that assist us in providing customized services and to help promote safer trading. We also offer certain features that are only available through the use of a cookie. We also use cookies to allow you to enter your password less frequently while you are using the Site. Cookies can also help us provide information which we tailor to your interests. Most cookies are "session cookies", meaning that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session using the Site. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to use certain features on the Site and you may be required to re-enter your password more frequently while you are using the Site.
Our use of your information.
We use information in the files we maintain about you, and other information we obtain from your current and past activities on the Site, to resolve disputes, provide customer support, troubleshoot problems and enforce our policies. At times, we may look across multiple users to identify problems or resolve disputes, and in particular we may examine your information to identify users using multiple User IDs or aliases.
You agree that we may use personally identifiable information about you to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to analyze site usage, improve our content and product offerings, and customize the Site's content, layout, and services. These uses improve the Site and better tailor it to meet your needs.
You agree that we may use your information to contact you and deliver information to you that, in some cases, are targeted to your interests, such as targeted banner advertisements, administrative notices, product offerings, and communications relevant to your use of the Site. By accepting this Privacy Policy, you expressly agree to receive this information. If you do not wish to receive these communications, please do not use this site.

Our disclosure of your information.
As a matter of policy, "Pure World Shopping" will never sell or rent your personal information to third party for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. However, the following describes some of the ways that we may disclose your personally identifiable information.
(a) Advertisers. We aggregate (gather up data across all user accounts) personally identifiable information and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties for other marketing and promotional purposes. However, in these situations, we do not disclose to these entities any information that could be used to identify you personally. Certain information, such as your name, email address, password, credit card number, and bank account number are never disclosed to third party advertisers.
(b) Other Corporate Entities. You agree that we may share personally identifiable information about you with our parent, affiliates, subsidiaries and joint ventures that are committed to serving your online trading needs and related services, throughout the world. Our parent, affiliates, subsidiaries and joint ventures follow privacy practices no less protective of all users than our practices described in this Privacy Policy, to the extent allowed by applicable law. It is possible that "Pure World Ltd.", its subsidiaries, its joint ventures, or any combination of such, could merge with or be acquired by another business entity. Should such a combination occur, you should expect and agree that "Pure World Ltd." may share some or all of your information in order to continue to provide the service. You will receive notice of such event (to the extent it occurs) and we will require that the new combined entity follow the practices disclosed in this Privacy Policy.
(c) Legal Requests. "Pure World Ltd." cooperates with law enforcement inquiries, as well as other third parties, to enforce laws and third party rights, such as intellectual property rights and laws relating to fraud. Therefore, in response to a verified request by law enforcement or other government officials, relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity, or other activity that may expose us or you to legal liability, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose personal information such as name, address, telephone number, email address, User ID history, and bidding and listing history about you as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate. Further, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose your User ID, name, address, telephone number, email address, and company name for legal purposes.
Control of Your Password.
You are responsible for all actions taken with your User ID and password, including those actions that result in fees being charged to your account. Therefore we do not recommend that you disclose your "Pureworldshopping.com" password to any third party. If you choose to share your User ID and password or your information with third party to where it is necessary for you to do so for them to provide you additional services, you are responsible for all actions taken with your User ID and password and therefore you should review that third party's privacy policy. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personally identifiable information and may be subjected to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password or account has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your password.
Accessing, Reviewing and Changing Your Personally Identifiable Information.
We offer you the ability to automatically review and change the information you submit to us by logging into the Site and entering in the new information yourself. Generally, we will not modify your personal information based on your request because it is very difficult to authenticate your account manually. You can change your User ID, password, contact information, financial information, postal address and user preferences by going to the "Your Account > Account Profile" section when you are logged in. You must promptly update your personal information if it changes or is inaccurate.
Upon your written request, we will deactivate your account, contact information, and financial information from our active databases. To make this request, please contact Customer Service. Such information will be deactivated as soon as reasonably possible in accordance with our deactivation policy and applicable law.
We will retain in our files information you have requested to remove in some circumstances, such as to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our policy. Further, such prior information is never completely removed from our databases due to technical and legal constraints, including stored "back up" systems. Therefore, you should not expect that all of your personally identifiable information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests.
Security.
For our valuable customer’s security, your credit card and personal information details are encrypted with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology on both the client and server end. This software encrypts all your personal information so that it cannot be read as it travels over the Internet and can be trusted to arrive, privately and unaltered, to our server only. (Please note that email is not encrypted, and is not considered a secure means of transmitting credit card numbers.) If you are still concerned about ordering electronically, you can place your order by calling our order help line on 0870 8501970 from 9:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. London time, Monday to Friday excluding bank holidays.
Notice.
We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time in order that it accurately reflects the regulatory environment and our own data collection and disclosure practices. All amended terms shall automatically be effective 30 days after they are initially posted on the Site. In addition, we will notify you in accordance with your Notification Preferences or by posting the amended Privacy Policy on the Site.
Anti-Spam Policy
Pureworldshopping.com is 100% opposed to unsolicited commercial email ("spam"). We do not send emails to anyone without permission and we do not sell or provide email addresses to any unauthorized third party. If you receive any unsolicited emails from spammers, please be assured that we did not provide your email address to such parties.
This does not mean that we can prevent spam from happening on the Internet. Unfortunately, spammers obtain email addresses in a number of devious ways, including when you respond and ask to be taken off a spam email list and in some cases by just generating emails to millions of random email addresses in the hopes of getting a few "live" ones. Please be assured that we hate spam as much as you do.
How safe is Information about me?
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. While no system is completely foolproof, we take the security of your personal information very seriously, and our security measures are designed to protect that information in a responsible manner.
What Information can I access?
If you register as a Pureworldshopping.com member, we give you access to your registration information for the purpose of viewing and updating that information. You are also entitled to request a copy of any other personal information we hold about you.
What choices do I have?
As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, although that might prevent us from personalizing our service for you or prevent you from taking advantage of certain useful features. If you have registered as a member, you can add or update your registration information (for instance, if your name, shipping address, email address or zip code changes) at any time by visiting the "Your Account" area.
We will retain in our files information you have requested to delete in some circumstances, such as to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems. Furthermore, such prior information is never completely removed from our databases due to technical and legal constraints, including stored "back up" systems.
Email Policies.
We are committed to ensuring the privacy of our customers. We do not sell or rent any of the information you provide to us (including your name and contact details) to third parties. In an effort to offer you the best-and most current-shopping opportunities, we ourselves may contact you with news about our products, services and events. You can always choose not to receive emails from us. Each of our email messages contain a link at the bottom of the email for the purpose of adjusting your email subscription preferences or to be removed from our mailing list.
