For our customers residing in California

California law requires that we provide certain disclosures, including a description of legal rights, to those who reside in the state of California. If you are a California resident and a estelleshoes customer, this section applies in addition to all other applicable rights and information contained in this Policy.

As a California resident, you have the right to request:

no more than once during any 12-month period, that we provide you with information on the third parties we have shared your personal information with for their own direct marketing purposes.
that we delete the personal information that we, or our service providers, store about you.
no more than twice during any 12-month period, that we provide you with the following information for the 12-month period prior to your request:

The categories and the specific pieces of your personal information we collected and store about you. Please refer to the “What personal information we collect” section in this Policy to understand the categories of personal information we may have collected about you.
The categories of sources from which we collected your personal information. Please see the “How we collect personal information” section in this Policy to understand the sources from which we receive personal information.
The purpose(s) for which we collected or “sold” your personal information. Please see the “How we use personal information” section in this Policy to understand the purposes for which we use your personal information.
The categories of your personal information we “sold” and the categories of third parties to whom we “sold” your personal information.
The categories of your personal information we disclosed for any business purpose. Please see the “When we share your personal information” section in this Policy to understand what personal information we disclosed and the business purpose for doing so.

Regarding the “sale” of your personal information (as mentioned above), we want to be clear: we do not provide your personal information to other companies for money. We do, however, share your personal information with companies that help our business, including marketing and advertising companies that support our marketing and advertising efforts. Even though we do not share personal information for money, California law may consider our sharing of certain categories of your personal information to personalize products or services we offer you or to support our marketing efforts, as a sale. We never knowingly “sell” the personal information of anyone under age 16. The categories of personal information we share includes:

Device and browsing information and other Internet activity information
Purchase or other commercial information
Demographic information
Identifiers and contact information
Inferences

Do-not-track Disclosure. Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” privacy preference. Generally, when a user turns on the Do Not Track Signal, their browser sends a message to websites requesting that the user not be tracked. Our Websites currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals.

Identity Verification Requirement. The law requires that we validate the identity and legal authority associated with any personal information request for a California customer. As a result, we may require that you take additional steps to validate your identity and legal authority, particularly where you make a request through our online form or in writing (email or postal mail). If you make a request, we will send a message to the email address you provided in your request and you must follow the instructions in that email for us to verify your request. We will begin processing your request once you have completed the verification process.

We will provide a response to any personal information request within the timeframe required by law. If we cannot substantively respond to your request in a timely manner, we will notify you and provide the reason for the delay.

Under certain circumstances, we may not be able to fulfill your request, such as when doing so would interfere with our regulatory or legal obligations, where we cannot verify your identity, or if your request involves disproportionate cost or effort. But we will respond to your request within a reasonable time, as required by law, and provide an explanation.

How we secure personal information

We have implemented industry-accepted administrative, physical, and technology-based security measures to help protect against lost, misuse and alteration of your personal information in our possession and under our control. We ensure that our employees, contractors, and third-party service providers who have access to personal information in our systems acknowledge their obligations and commit to safeguarding that information.

While we use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100 percent secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information. We strongly encourage you to take steps to help protect the confidentiality and security of your account information (including your personal information), including by:

Reviewing your account periodically and immediately reporting any unexpected activity or unrecognized information

Not using the same password for more than one online account
