Privacy Policy of Bottega Verde U.S., Inc.
This statement sets forth the Privacy Policy of Bottega Verde U.S., Inc. ("Bottega Verde") for the use of the Bottega Verde website (the "website" or "site"),
and describes the practices that Bottega Verde will follow with respect to the privacy of users of the website.
1. Personally Identifiable Information: "Personally identifiable information" is information specifically about you that can be used to identify you, such
as name, address, e-mail address, a user ID, a diver's license number or a credit card number.
2. Information Collection, Use and Distribution: We want you to understand what private information we collect about you, and how we use your private information.
The nature of the services that we provide through our website requires that we collect and use information about you as more fully described below. Some of your
private information may be disclosed to third parties (for example, accrediting bodies) in order to provide the information and services that you request, and may
be used by both Bottega Verde and third parties to provide that information and/or perform those services. In addition, Bottega Verde and third parties may use your
private information to offer you additional information, products, or services that match your areas of interest.
We may request that you voluntarily supply us with information, including your e-mail address, street address, telephone number or other information so that we
may enhance your site visit, fulfill any orders you may place through our site, or follow up with you after your visit. Whether you provide any information is entirely up to you.
If you have voluntarily provided information, you consented to the collection and use of your personally identifiable information as described in this Privacy Policy.
We do not sell or rent personally identifiable information collected through this site to anyone. Also, Bottega Verde may provide aggregate statistics about visitors
to our website, such as volume, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-parties, but these statistics will not include any personally
identifiable information. Bottega Verde may also disclose information in special cases when we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
(a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process;
(b) protect and enforce our rights or property;
(c) enforce the website Terms and Conditions of Use or this Privacy Policy;
(d) act to protect the interests of our users or others;
(e) resolve disputes, or
(f) troubleshoot website problems.
If, in connection with your use of a particular section or feature of the site, we ask to use your data in a way not described in this Privacy Policy and you do
not wish to permit that use, you can choose not to use the particular section or feature of the site.
If you have voluntarily provided personally identifiable information, we may, from time to time, send you mail or e-mail regarding products and services. If you
do not want to receive such offers and mailings, you can easily indicate that by checking the appropriate box on the submission form.
3. Information Security: We exercise great care to protect your personally identifiable information. This includes, among other things, using commercially
reasonable and industry standard security practices. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. As a result,
while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from
us or through one of our applications. This is especially true for information you transmit via e-mail. We have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us.
Once we receive your transmission, we use what we believe are commercially reasonable effort to ensure its security on our servers.
Internally, we will restrict access to your personally identifiable information to employees or contractors who need access to the information to do their jobs.
These employees and contractors are required to adhere to our privacy policies.
We will review our security arrangements from time to time as we deem appropriate.
4. Protecting Your Information: We recommend that you do not divulge your Bottega Verde user password to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in an
unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited e-mail. Also remember to sign out of the website and close your browser window when you have finished visiting our site.
This is to ensure that others cannot access your personally identifiable information and correspondence if others have access to your computer.
5. Use of Cookies: This website, like many other commercial applications and web sites, may utilize a standard technology called "cookies" to collect information
about how our site is used. Cookies are designed to help a web site operator determine that a particular user has visited the site previously and thus save and remember
