All the “Data” collected and eventually processed by us is information that you voluntarily provided to Miaouw OÜ on the “Site,” notably, but not exclusively, via the Registration Form: your log-in, a valid e-mail address, your country of residence, and date of birth. If, for example, you decide to fill in a registration form or to reply to an on-line survey on the “Site,” we might ask you to provide certain elements allowing us to contact you (name, e-mail address, postal address), date of birth, what interests you about fragrance and what products you use. By replying to this on-line resgistration form, you agree to allow certain data, particularly concerning the fragrance(s) you wear, to appear on the website.

In order to protect their personal “Data,” Users who sign up on the “Site” are required to choose a log-in and password.

When you submit nominative information on the “Site,” you will be asked if you agree to the information being collected, processed and transmitted in the manner set out in this “Policy.” If you do not want nominative information about you to be collected, please abstain from providing such information to us.

The only “Data” that is collected automatically on the “Site” is your IP address IP (your computer’s identification), and nothing else. We are informing you that the “Site” reserves the right to apply an automatic tracing tool (cookie) that you can block, if you are not a registered user, by modifying the parameters in your internet navigator.

The “Data” that is collected automatically by the “Site” allows Miaouw OÜ to obtain statistics about page consultation on the “Site”.

The “Data” can be used to compose and send you newsletters, surveys and other messages about our products and special offers. If you do not wish to receive this type of information, please unsubscribe yourself from the message service, as explained in Section 6.

We can also use the “Data” that you provide in a collective (i.e. non-nominative) way for our internal commercial needs, such as statistical analysis and creating business plans. We will not transmit the “Data” without your consent, except in the cases laid out in this “Policy.”

We can collect, preserve and accumulate certain data concerning your use of the “Site,” such as information allowing us to identify the most popular pages. We can share and/or transfer this non-nominative information to our affiliated companies, franchisees, licensors and partners.

If you agree at the time that you sign up on the “Site,” or at any other time, by providing your “Data,” we can use this “Data” to create and transmit bulletins, surveys and other messages containing this information. If you would rather not receive this type of authorized message, please do not agree to receive them. If you agree to receive this type of message and then change your mind later, consult Section 6 of the “Policy.”

The “Data” that you provide can be shared with our partners, who can use the “Data” to send you messages containing information about products, advice and special offers.
