We take your privacy very seriously

Safeguarding your privacy and the security of your personal information is important to us.

So please check it out periodically. If you have questions about our policy, please click on our contact us page to voice your concerns.

How we collect information about you.

What personal information we collect from our users.

When you set up an account at BorrowMyHandbag.com to use our service, you are required to provide us with your full legal name, email address, full street address including city, state and zip code, and telephone number. You must also choose your Username and Password and provide those to us.

We will not sell your information to any third party under any circumstances.

When you make a purchase or rental, you are required to provide us with a valid credit card number.  We do not store these numbers in any way.

Every time you use our service, we collect information about the BorrowMyHandbag.com products you browse and the orders you place.

If you send in a picture to be used in the Bragging Rights section of the BorrowMyHandbag.com website, that picture becomes our property and may be posted in that section or used on the homepage of that section.  These pictures will not be used for any reason outside of the BorrowMyHandbag.com website.

We collect additional information about how you use our website and service.  

If you contact us by letter, phone, or email through the contact information on the "Contact Us" page, we will collect your sender information and may collect the other information you voluntarily disclose to us.

We use 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 BorrowMyHandbag.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).

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. Our computers and servers are owned and maintained by a third party. Access to our computer servers is controlled by firewalls and security gatekeepers.

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 or enable debt collection or insurance claim processing, or to prevent harm to yourself or others.

How we use the information we collect.

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

When you use your BorrowMyHandbag.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. In an effort to maintain your desired expectation for customer satisfaction, we review all comments supplied by you to other third parties when you use the BorrowMyHandbag.com website. By using this site, you consent to our review of such comments.

You can control how information about you is used.

You may cancel your account at any time.

You may ask that we stop sending you emails with promotions and our newsletter by sending an email to customerservice@borrowmyhandbag.com and asking us to do so.

Our policies may change.

This is our current privacy and security policy, but we reserve the right to change our website and this policy at any time. You should check this privacy policy periodically. If our policies regarding collection, storage and use of your information change, the information collected under prior policies will continue to be governed by those policies, unless we obtain your consent to use that information in new ways.

You can access your information.

Upon your request, we will provide you with access to your unique account-related information and information from contacts that we maintain about you. In your request, please provide us with your current specific contact information so that we can accurately check our records.

How is my information protected?

Your information is password-protected. In order to maintain this protection, we caution you not to provide your password to anyone. We do not give your password to anyone. We recommend that, if you share your computer with other people, you close your browser window when your session is completed.
