Our use of cookies.

Like many websites on the Internet, our website uses cookies. Cookies are small strings of data placed on users' personal computer hard drives during the exchange of data that happens when your browser points to our website. Cookies enable a website to identify a user's browser as a previous visitor by means of a unique string of numbers assigned on a previous visit. Our cookies assist us in collecting information on what pages of our website you access or visit, and in recording any preferences you indicate on our website. We also use cookies to make your experience on Avelle.com more personalized, and convenient.

Our cookies cannot and do not retrieve any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer viruses. If you are just browsing our website, a cookie identifies your browser and user id (and not your identity). If you place orders with us, we use cookies to assist in storing your preferences and recording other session information (a "session" is a single visit by you to our website).

Links to Third Party Sites

To the extent our Web Site contains hyperlinks to outside services and resources, the availability and content of which Avelle, Inc. does not control, any concerns regarding any such service or resource, or any hyperlink thereto, should be directed to the particular outside service or resource.

How we store the information we collect.

We store the information you provide to us and the information we collect electronically in our computer databases. We own, maintain and operate our computer servers containing our databases. Access to our computer servers is controlled by firewalls and security gatekeepers.

How we use the information we collect.

We use the personal information about you stored in our member database in various ways to provide our services to you, to communicate with you, and to otherwise conduct our business. First, the next time you use our service and enter your User ID and Password, we will call up your information from our database to make processing your order faster and easier.

When you use your Avelle.com account, we also keep track of your brand preferences and bag choices and analyze that information. We do so in order to be able to email to you special advertisements, offers and notices regarding brands and bags that seem to fit with your preferences.

We do aggregate information about how our service is used (without specific identification to any particular user) to be able to improve our service and make it more responsive to our customers' preferences. We also make such aggregate information (without identification to any specific individual) available to our affiliates in order to obtain information about products, services, offers and notices which we believe will be useful and informative to our website users.

We may share your personally identifiable information with third party vendors who help us provide the Services to you, such as email providers, mail houses, shipping firms, companies that provide us with marketing services, and other such third parties, but such sharing is always done pursuant to a contract that requires the third party to protect the confidentiality of such information and which prohibits them from using the information for any other purposes.

We may also disclose your personally identifiable information as we believe is reasonably necessary to comply with law, regulation or other governmental authority, to determine your credit status or enable debt collection, initiate legal proceedings to recover losses and/or our property, or for insurance claim processing, or to prevent harm to yourself or others.

From time to time, we may make our mailing list available to carefully screened companies whose products we believe will be of interest to you. We never share email addresses for this purpose. If you prefer to have your name withheld, please contact us and let us know.

Lastly, in the event we merge with another company or are acquired by another company, your personally identifiable information would likely be among the assets transferred or shared with such other company.

You can control what information we send to you.

You can also limit our communications directly to you. If you have an Avelle.com account and do not want to receive emails telling you about our great deals in the future, please let us know.
