Privacy Policy

This privacy policy covers all of the Textilemerchandising.com sites (“Textilemerchandising”). Please read this statement carefully before using or proceeding to access Textilemerchandising. Your use of Textilemerchandising indicates you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and indicates your agreement to abide by the Terms of Service in effect.

1. Information Collection

Textilemerchandising is the sole owner of the information collected on Textilemerchandising. Textilemerchandising may collect information from our users at several different points on Textilemerchandising.

  • Comments – In order to enhance their use of Textilemerchandising, users can choose to leave comments on particular articles of interest. Commenters may register anonymously. However, if a third party complains that a comment breaches our Terms of Service (e.g. libels them), then in accordance with our Terms of Service, we will make reasonable efforts to contact the commenter and alert them to the situation. If we are required to by law to disclose commenters’ contact information, we will attempt to contact commenters to give them the opportunity to respond to such requests. Please refer to our Terms of Service for more information.
  • Mailing Lists & Service Emails – Textilemerchandising may launch a mailing list, in order to provide subscribers with relevant information – breaking news, or weekly or daily round-ups, for example. In order to sign up to receive regular emails from a site’s mailing list, users must submit information including a valid email address and demographic information such as location and interests. This information will be used in aggregate form only in order to assess general user interest in various internal and third party products and services, and your personal and contact information will not be passed to any other organization. Users who choose to sign up for a mailing list will receive regular emails from the site. Textilemerchandising may from time to time track user email usage in a continued effort to improve our services. Most of the time, these will be content from the site in question, but we may occasionally send out an email from a third party sponsor. This will be infrequent, and does not represent an endorsement by Textilemerchandising of any products advertised therein. It will clearly be marked as advertising. Since editorial independence is critical to us, you can be sure that we will never send out a sponsored email in the guise of a glowing product review. If you do not wish to receive emails from third party advertisers, please do not sign up for the mailing list.
  • Comment Service and Cookies – In order to further enhance the user experience, Textilemerchandising runs a comment service on some or all of Textilemerchandising sites where users can discuss common topics of interest. Users have the option of signing up for this service, and to do so must submit some valid information. Textilemerchandising uses this information to screen out users who leave comments prohibited by our Terms of Service and to pick out topics of interest to commenters. Textilemerchandising will not pass this information to any other organization except in aggregate form. The Comment Service may use cookies. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. We may use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user’s hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following the user’s Internet browser help file directions. We store a cookie on each user’s machine that contains user specific information. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. If you reject all cookies, you will not be able to use Textilemerchandising products or services that require you to “sign in” and you may not be able to take full advantage of all offerings. However, not all Textilemerchandising services require that you accept cookies.
  • Links – Textilemerchandising contain links to other sites. Please be aware that Textilemerchandising is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by Textilemerchandising.
  • Log Files – Like most standard Website servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information. We may use a tracking utility that uses log files to analyze user movement.

2. Advertising

3. Business Transitions

In the event Textilemerchandising goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company or sale of a portion of its assets, users’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.

4. Legal Disclaimer

Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, Textilemerchandising may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on Textilemerchandising or affiliates.

5. Information Security

Textilemerchandising has technical, administrative and physical safeguards in place to help protect against unauthorized access to, use or disclosure of user information we maintain. Under our security practices and policies, access to personally identifiable information is authorized only for those who have a business need for such access, and sensitive records are to be retained only as long as necessary for business or legal needs and destroyed before disposal. Although we work hard to protect personal information that we collect and store, no program is one hundred percent secure and we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use or disclose personal information.

If you become aware of a security issue, please email us at Raju.uttara105[at] gmail [dot] com. We will work with you to address any problems.

6. Notification of Changes
