1.HOW DOES YAMA MALVA COLLECT INFORMATION FROM YOU
1.1 Information You Provide to Us
We (or our service providers) collect information from you when you: (1) purchase products from us, whether on a Site, through a catalog; (2) create an account with us, or otherwise sign up for a service or feature; (3) complete a survey; (4) participate in a sweepstakes, contest or other promotion; (5) communicate with us via third-party social media sites; or (6) contact us, or otherwise communicate with us or provide information to us. The “personal information” we collect from and about you may include, for example, your name, postal address, zip or postal code, email address, telephone number, date of birth, payment information, demographic information, details on items purchased, and other information you choose to provide to us. In some cases, you may provide information to us about another person, such as when you purchase a gift card for someone and request that we deliver it to that person or when you share Site content through a Site or otherwise, or when you decide to ship products you purchase to someone else. In such cases, you represent that you have the authorization of such person to provide us with such information. When you are a creating an account for the first time on yamamalva.com with an email address that you have previously provided to us in another circumstance (e.g., when signing up for our emails, by entering one of our sweepstakes or other promotions), we may recognize that email address and, once you have completed the account set-up process, you may be able to see your contact information already included in your new online account. This is happening because we have recognized your email address and, for your convenience, have added your information to your account. You can always change this information by signing into your account.
1.2 Site Usage Information & Other Information Collected Automatically
As part of the standard operation of the Sites, certain information is collected automatically or passively from or about you in connection with your visit to the Site
or your device accessing the Site. Our servers may automatically gather some of the
“Site usage information” (such as your IP address, and information about your browsers, your device, your location (subject to your consent), your shopping, browsing and other usage activities), or we (or our service providers) may (provided you have given your consent) use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and track such information (see our Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies section below for more details).
1.3 Browser Do-Not-Track Signals
Some web browsers and devices permit you to broadcast a preference that you not be “tracked” online.

1.4 Cookies and Similar Technologies
Like many companies, we (and our service providers) use cookies and other similar technologies (such as pixels, beacons, tags, and Adobe Flash technology) to collect, store and track information about your Site usage. This information helps us to provide, operate, improve and personalize our Sites. For more information about how we use cookies and other similar technologies please see our Cookies Policy. Cookies. A “cookie” is a small data file that is sent to your web browser and placed on your computer or device when you access a website. The cookies are then able to track your activities on the Sites and across websites. Cookies also allow us (and our service providers) to: track your activities on the Sites; track clicks, purchases and conversion; recognize your computer or device so that you are able to save your preferences and stay logged in to the Site without having to re-enter your Account credentials; deliver customized content, messages and advertising to you; preserve the contents of your shopping cart; optimize and measure the effectiveness of our advertising and emails; provide and enhance Site security and fraud detection; otherwise enhance, monitor and analyze Site usage; conduct research to improve our content, merchandise and services; and personalize your experience on the Sites. Most web browsers enable you to decline or block cookies (check the “Help” or “Settings” menus of your browser to learn more). While you are free to decline cookies, doing so may prevent you from taking full advantage of all features of our Site(s). Refusing cookies may also negatively impact the display or functionality of certain areas of a Site. By continuing to use this Site, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this Privacy Policy, as well as our Cookie Policy (which is incorporated herein). Web Beacons and Tags. We also use web beacons (also known as “clear GIFs” or “pixel tags”), which are typically one-pixel images that are embedded on a page of a Site or in our communications, such as an email message. These technologies help us to verify when a certain page of a Site is viewed, when a message is opened and when links or other content in a message are clicked or viewed. We use the information collected through web beacons, tags and other similar technologies for similar
purposes as the information collected through cookies, as described above.
Flash Cookies/Local Shared Objects. We may use Flash cookies and other similar
technologies (referred to herein as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”), which allow a website to store certain information locally on an individual’s computer or device and then access and use that information to enhance and facilitate certain Site experiences, processes and functionality. Flash cookies and other LSOs are different from typical browser cookies (as described above), and therefore the cookie management tools provided by your web browser may not enable you to remove Flash cookies or other LSOs. To learn more about managing these technologies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/. We may use third party web analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to help us track and analyze the use of our Site and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising, Site content and communications.

2. ADVERTISING ON THE SITE AND OTHER WEBSITES
We also work with service providers and partner with advertising companies that use cookies, web beacons and other tools to collect information about your visits to and behavior on the Site and then use that information to deliver targeted advertisements to you across the Internet. Please see our Cookies Policy for more detail on how you can change your preferences in this regard. We maintain relationships with several social networks and technology companies, currently Facebook and Google depending on the region. These companies have specific Interest-Based Ads programs that match people that have shown interest in Yama Malva through our website. If we participate in these programs, we convert your personal information (via hashing, encryption or other similar mechanisms) into a unique, non-personally identifiable value that cannot be re-identified and which can then be matched by the partner company with a user on their platform. This matching allows us to deliver more relevant, interest-based ads to users of those other companies’ platforms.

We have implemented technical and organizational security measures in an effort to safeguard the personal information in our custody and control. Such measures include, for example, limiting access to personal information only to employees and authorized service providers who need to know such information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, as well as other administrative, technical and physical safeguards. Additionally, our service providers are not authorized to use or disclose your personal information for any purpose other than providing the services to us or on our behalf, or as otherwise may be required by applicable law. While we endeavor to always protect our systems, Sites and information against unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle and other risk factors, we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission or while stored on our systems, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account credentials, and we strongly recommend that you do not disclose your Account username or password to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in any unsolicited communication. Please notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account credentials or any other suspected breach of security.

9. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES
The Site may contain links (which may take the form of hyperlinks, widgets, clickable logos, plug-ins, images or banners) to websites and services operated by entities other than us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to such other websites or services, so we recommend that you review their posted privacy policies so that you understand the relevant information collection, use and disclosure practices.
10. PHISHING, SPOOFING & OTHER SCHEMES
It has become increasingly common for hackers, cyber-criminals and other unauthorized individuals to send emails and other communications to consumers purporting to represent a legitimate company, such as a bank or an online retailer, and requesting through those communications that the consumer provide personal, often sensitive, information. Sometimes, the domain name of the sender’s email address, or the domain name of the website requesting such information, may appear to be the domain name of a legitimate, trusted company. If you receive a request to provide sensitive information (including your Account password, or any payment information) via email or to a website or individual that does not seem to be affiliated with the Site or YAMA MALVA, or that otherwise seems suspicious to you, please do not respond or disclose your information. YAMA MALVA will never send you an email requesting that you verify any credit card information, financial information or other sensitive personal information. Please immediately report any such communication or request to us at info@yamamalva.com.
Additionally, YAMA MALVA works with customs authorities, law enforcement and legal representatives globally in an effort to prevent the sale of counterfeit YAMA MALVA products, both online and offline. To avoid the risk of purchasing counterfeit products, it is best to buy directly from only official YAMA MALVA e-commerce website or an authorized department store, specialty retailer or e-tailer that you know to be reputable. To report counterfeits, please email info@yamamalva.com.
