s o u l c h i c is committed to respecting the privacy
rights of our customers and all visitors to our web site. We take this matter
very seriously, and have instituted many policies and procedures to insure that
none of your privacy rights as stated herein are ever violated. The following
outlines s o u l c h i c privacy policy and details the measures we have taken
to safeguard and protect your privacy, while providing you with a unique and
rewarding online shopping experience. By visiting s o u l c h i c, you are
agreeing to the policies detailed below.
How do you communicate with s o u l c h i c electronically?
When you send an email s o u l c h i c or visit the web site, you are communicating
with us electronically. When you send an email s o u l c h i c, you consent to
receive communications from us electronically in response. Please note that this
does not constitute opting in to our email or direct mail lists. s o u l c h i c
may communicate with you by email, by updating or posting notices on the web site.
You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosure and other communications that
s o u l c h i c provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that
such communication be in writing. All communications with
s o u l c h i c become the property of s o u l c h i c
What information is needed by s o u l c h i c ?
In order to serve you better, s o u l c h i c collects and stores your personal
information when you: (i) create an account on
s o u l c h i c; (ii) sign up to be notified of special deals like discounts and
exclusive offers; or (iii) enter a contest or promotion on our site. An account
is created when you do one of following things: make a purchase on s o u l c h i c,
or register for an account on s o u l c h i c. When creating an account, we ask you
for your first and last name, your e-mail address, a password, and perhaps some other
similar information. If you are making a purchase, we will additionally ask you for
your billing address, shipping address, and credit card information.
Our system also may gather information about the areas you visit on our site as well
as the IP address you use to connect to our site. We may use this data internally only
for 2 reasons: 1) to personalize your experience on s o u l c h i c and the marketing
materials you receive from s o u l c h i c or its partners and 2) to prevent fraud on
your account. We would not share any of this data on an individual basis (we may share
it in an aggregate form without personal identifiers) with any outside company other than
perhaps consultants or service providers of s o u l c h i c who were assisting s o u l c h i c
in serving you better. Of course, to the extent that we would ever share any of that
information with a consultant or service provider, we would only do so if that party
agreed to protect your private information by adopting a privacy policy at least as
stringent as our own. We do use navigational information both in the aggregate and on
an individual basis to understand how our visitors use s o u l c h i c so that we can
make our site better. We do not keep track of where you go on the World Wide Web.
What does s o u l c h i c do with this personal information?
Your information is used to process your orders and personalize your shopping experience on
s o u l c h i c, for internal purposes and to comply with any legal requirements. By storing
your personal information on a secure server, s o u l c h i c is able to shorten your checkout
process and allow you to check your order status online.
At s o u l c h i c, we also review what kinds of products appeal most to our customers as a group.
This statistical information helps us improve our offering in the same way that other companies
change their catalog based on what sells best. We may also use information about the kinds of
products you buy from s o u l c h i c to make other marketing offers to you. Of course, you always
have the option to opt-out from receiving such offers (for instructions on how to opt-out, please
see below). Passport technology, or another service provider, we may share some of your purchase
information with that portal or service provider to assist that portal in serving you better.
However, rest assured that we would only share that information with the same portal you are
using and then only to the extent that such portal agreed to protect your private information
by adopting a privacy policy at least as stringent as our own.
How does s o u l c h i c safeguard your personal information?
s o u l c h i c has implemented a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your
personal information. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only
accessible by a limited number of employees who have special access rights. When you place orders
or access your personal information, we offer the use of a secure server. All sensitive/credit
information supplied by you is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and securely
stored in Soul Chic database.
Does s o u l c h i c provide a way to update or remove personal information?
s o u l c h i c provides a my account feature on our website which allows you to modify and/or
remove most of your personal information. Rest assured that all of your information within
my account is secure and accessible only by you or limited s o u l c h i c personnel.
How does s o u l c h i c use your e-mail address?
Your e-mail address is used to create and identify your account on s o u l c h i c. Your e-mail
address is also used by s o u l c h i c to correspond with you about any orders that you may
place or to notify you with the results of any contests you may have entered. We may also use
your e-mail address to notify you about important functionality changes to the Web site, new
s o u l c h i c services and special offers and promotions we think you'll find valuable. If
you would rather not receive this information, or would like to opt-out of receiving e-mail
of this kind, simply click on the "Unsubscribe" link that appears at the bottom of any email
and follow the simple instructions to have your email address removed from the list of
customers who receive notices of new functionality, services, special offers and promotions.
Alternately, if you have created an account with s o u l c h i c, you can also remove your email
address from our list of addresses that receive information about new products, service, sales
and promotions by clicking on the "my account" button that appears on most every page of our
Web site, logging into your account, clicking on the "edit preferences" button, and making the
appropriate change.
Does s o u l c h i c use "cookies"?
A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a web site that is saved on your hard disk by
your computer's browser. The cookie holds information a site may need to personalize your
experience and to gather web site statistical data, such as which pages are visited, the
internet provider's domain name and country that our visitors come from (e.g. "aol.com" or
"msn.com") and the addresses of the sites visited immediately before coming to and immediately
after leaving s o u l c h i c. However, none of this information is associated with you as an
individual. It is measured anonymously and only in the aggregate. The information in the cookies
lets us trace your "click stream" activity (i.e., the paths take by visitors to our site as they
move from page to page). Cookies do not capture your individual email address or any private
information about you.
s o u l c h i c may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our web site as well

pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third
parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely anonymous and s o u l c h i c reserves the
right to provide that information and data to these third parties.
To browse without cookies, you can configure your browser to reject all cookies, or to notify you
when a cookie is set. Each browser is different so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn
how to change your cookie preferences. Even without accepting a cookie, you can still access most
of the features on s o u l c h i c.
