privacy policy

Sterling Perfumes Industries LLC has created this Privacy Statement to inform you about how we collect, use and information

This Privacy Statement applies to information collected through this website and any mobile sites, applications, widgets, and other interactive features that link to this Privacy Statement. Except as specifically provided below, this Privacy Statement does not apply to information collected by Sterling by or through any other means, such as information collected offline or information collected by its independent Online Stores

Non-personal information: Collection of Non-Personal Information

‘Non-Personal Information’ is any information that does not reveal your specific identity, such as: Browser information

  • Information collected through cookies, pixel tags and other technologies
  • Demographic information and other information provided by you or our Independent Sales Representatives

Aggregated information

We and our third-party service providers may collect Non-Personal Information in a variety of ways. For example, we collect information such as your computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, operating system version and Internet browser type and version. We also collect demographic information, such as your location, education, profession, age, gender, as well as other information, such as your hobbies and special interests when you voluntarily provide this information to us. Unless combined with Personal Information, this information does not personally identify you or anyone else. We may aggregate Personal Information so that the aggregated information does not personally identify you or anyone else, such as by using Personal Information to calculate the percentage of our customers who live in a particular area. In some instances, we may combine Non-Personal Information with Personal Information (such as combining your name with your geographical location). If we combine any Non-Personal Information with Personal Information, the combined information will be treated by us as Personal Information as long as it is combined.

Use and Sharing of Non-Personal Information

Because Non-Personal Information does not personally identify you, we may collect, use and disclose Non-Personal Information for any purpose

Cookies and other technologies

Cookies

We and our third-party service providers may use ‘cookies’ on the site. Cookies allow a web server to transfer data to a computer for recordkeeping and other purposes. We use cookies and other technologies to, among other things, better serve you with more tailored information and facilitate your ongoing access to and use of the website. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allow you to decline the use of cookies

Local Storage Objects

We and our third-party service providers may use Flash Local Storage Objects (Flash LSOs’) in certain situations including recognizing you and remembering what is in your shopping cart. Flash LSOs are different from browser cookies because of the amount and type of data stored. In addition, you generally cannot control, delete or disable the acceptance of Flash LSOs from your browser. For more information on Flash LSOs, and to learn how to control them, click on the Support Page for the Flash Player and choose the Global Storage Settings Panel and follow the instructions. To see the Flash LSOs on your computer now, go to the Website Storage Settings Panel and follow the instructions to review and, if you choose, to delete any specific Flash LSO.

Pixel Tags and Other Technologies

Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. However, in contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer's hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on website pages. We may use clear GIFs (also known as web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags) in connection with the website to, among other things, track the activities of visitors and compile statistics about the website usage and response rates. We and our third-party service providers also may use clear GIFs in HTML-formatted e-mail messages to help us track e-mail response rates, measure the success of our marketing campaigns, and identify when our e-mails are viewed or forwarded

Sterling  may work with third-party service providers who use the technologies described in this section to conduct website analytics to help us track and understand how visitors use the website

Widgets, Applications and Similar Technologies

If you choose to utilize technology provided by us (such as a widget), any Personal Information or other information you make available through such technology may become available publicly. For example, through social media and other websites and platforms on which you may make the applicable technology available. In addition, some technology may have the capability to be distributed ‘virally’ in other locations (Example: a friend or a customer of yours may post the widget that contains your information to his or her blog). Sterling is not responsible or liable for the collection, use or disclosure of Personal Information and/or other information that is made publicly available

IP Addresses

How We Collect IP Addresses

An IP Address may be identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user visits the website, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP Addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many websites

How We Use and Disclose IP Addresses

We may use IP Addresses for purposes such as calculating usage levels, helping diagnose server problems, detecting fraud, and administering the website. We may also use and disclose IP Addresses for all the purposes for which we use and disclose Personal Information.
