INFORMATION ELIZABETH ARDEN COLLECTS
1. Personally Identifiable Information.
When using the Site, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information ("PII"), which is information that could reasonably be used to identify you personally. For example, we may seek PII when you register with us or at other times, such as if you choose to participate in a game, chat room, electronic bulletin board, contest, sweepstakes, or other promotional event. PII can include your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number or mobile telephone number, and date of birth. We may also ask you to create a screen name and/or a password, where applicable, and provide us with demographic information (such as information about your age or gender), information regarding your interests, or similar information.
You may also have the opportunity to provide us with the PII of a friend (or for a friend to provide such information about you), such as a name or an e-mail address, if you choose to e-mail a friend an electronic greeting card or participate in another special feature on the Site. The e-mail addresses you supply to us for these purposes will not be used to send to you (or to your friend) other e-mail communications, including promotional materials, and we will use reasonable efforts to delete such information from our database, unless otherwise disclosed at the time you provide such information.
PII will only be collected when it is voluntarily provided to Elizabeth Arden. You can always choose not to provide certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of or participate in certain features of the Site.
2. Non-personally Identifiable Information.
We may also collect from you non-personally identifiable information, such as an IP host address, the pages viewed, the browser type, the Site usage, and other data which do not identify any individual ("Aggregate Information"). When your computer contacts our web servers (for example, when you visit the Site, view an HTML e-mail, or download an interactive desktop from the Site), Aggregate Information may be collected automatically. We also may determine the applicable technology available to serve you the most appropriate version of a web page, e-mail or similar service.

We may use cookies to customize your visit to the Site and for other purposes to make your visit more convenient or to enable us to enhance our service. For example, we may use cookies when we conduct polls or contests to limit multiple responses and registrations, or we may use cookies to track usage patterns on the Site or to analyze web activity. You may stop or restrict the placement of cookies on your computer or remove them from your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences. If you do so, you may still use the Site, but it may interfere with some of its functionality. We do not use cookies to automatically retrieve PII from your computer without your knowledge.
In addition to cookies, the Site uses a variety of technical methods for tracking purposes, including web beacons. Web beacons are small pieces of data that are embedded in images on the pages of websites. Elizabeth Arden also uses these technical methods to analyze the traffic patterns on the www.ushervipsweeps.com website, such as the frequency with which our users visit various parts of the Site.
HOW ELIZABETH ARDEN USES THE INFORMATION IT COLLECTS
PII submitted to us is used to deliver the services you request, to keep you informed about changes affecting our services or your account, to inform you of products, including product launches, other services, games or offers from Elizabeth Arden (such as through personalized messages) and its affiliated companies in which you might be interested, and to improve and enhance the Site and services. If you provide PII to Elizabeth Arden, we will take all reasonable and appropriate steps to protect it from unauthorized disclosure.
In addition to the uses of PII explained above, by giving Elizabeth Arden your telephone and/or mobile telephone number, you expressly authorize Elizabeth Arden to contact you by telephone and send you text messages, if the number you provide is for a mobile telephone. Please be aware that your wireless carrier may charge you for the receipt of such messages, and other charges may apply. If you do not want to receive such messages, you should not provide us with your telephone or mobile telephone number. You may opt-out of receiving such messages by following the opt-out procedures below.
We may conduct joint promotions with other companies. We may share with our promotional partners (and their service providers) certain PII as necessary to conduct the promotion. We will not share this information with our promotional partners for any other purpose unless you provide us with your consent to do so.
We may combine the information we collect about you at the Site with information available to us from other sources. For example, you may provide PII to us at other Elizabeth Arden websites, or our co-promoter or sponsors may provide us with information, including PII, about users who choose to participate in a promotional opportunity the co-promoter or sponsor is offering in connection with Elizabeth Arden.
We will never disclose your PII to any third party who is not affiliated with, a business partner of or a sponsor of Elizabeth Arden without your express consent, except in the following circumstances: (i) in connection with the sale or merger of Elizabeth Arden or the division responsible for such services, (ii) as required by courts or administrative agencies, and (iii) to the extent required to permit us to investigate suspected fraud, harassment or other violations of any law, rule or regulation, the Site rules or policies, or the rights of third parties or any other suspected conduct we deem improper.
For the purposes of administering the Contest offered at the Site, our trusted partners will collect, store and share your PII with us. Our contest partners work on our behalf and have entered into confidentiality agreements with us. At the close of the Contest, our contest administrator will retain all entries for six (6) months and the winning entries for two (2) years.
2. Non-Personally Identifying Information.
Elizabeth Arden may use and disclose Aggregate Information to improve and enhance your experience on the Site and for other purposes. For example, from time to time, we may use and share Aggregate Information with third parties to show general demographic and preference information among users of the Site. In these circumstances, the shared information will neither contain nor be linked to any PII.
SPECIAL NOTICE REGARDING CHILDREN UNDER 13 YEARS OLD
Elizabeth Arden recognizes the sensitivity of PII concerning children under the age of 13 and therefore provides this notice. Elizabeth Arden is committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations regarding children, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), which does not allow the collection of any PII from anyone under the age of 13 without a parent's or guardian's consent.
Therefore, in compliance with COPPA, the Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and Elizabeth Arden does not knowingly collect PII from children under 13 years of age. If you are under 13 years of age, do not send any information about yourself to Elizabeth Arden. When Elizabeth Arden becomes aware that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected without such child's parent's or guardian's consent, we will use all reasonable efforts to delete such information from our database.
OPT-OUT POLICY
If you wish for us to remove your PII from our active records, please go to the "Click here to unsubscribe" link on www.ushersweepsvip.com. Please be aware that we will process your request within a reasonable time after receipt. You should also be aware that we are not responsible for removing your PII from the lists of any third party who has previously been provided with your information in accordance with this policy, such as a business partner. In addition, your ability to opt-out from receiving marketing and promotional material does not change our right to contact you regarding your use of the Site or changes to our Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions of Use statement or other policy or terms that affect you and your use of the Site.
You cannot be eligible to win the Contest if you opt-out before the Winners are selected.
USER FORUMS Please review our restrictions on use and guidelines for user forums in our Terms and Conditions of Use statement. In addition, please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to any information you may disclose publicly in user forums (such as chat rooms, bulletin boards, or similar web pages).

In addition, certain message boards (and similar user forums) may display IP addresses along with the message poster's name and message. Elizabeth Arden bears no responsibility for any action or policies of any third party who collects any information users may disclose in user forums or other public areas, if any, on the Site.
