How we use personal information

Our primary goals in collecting personal information are to assist users in completing the purchase of our product or services; to interact with our users, such as providing information about our new products or services; to better understand the individuals who are interested in our products or services, so that we can find more efficient and effective ways to respond to their questions and inquiries, and market our products to them.  The more we know about your interests, the better we can communicate with you, anticipate your needs and communicate with you in a productive and enjoyable manner. This interaction may occur in several different ways: 

All Users - We use personal information to provide our users with access to the public areas of our Website and information about our products. We may also use personal information about our users to communicate with them, respond to their questions, or as otherwise described at the point of collection of information.

Gift Recipients - If you are the recipient of a gift that is purchased from our Website, we will use your personal information to deliver the gift that has been purchased for you. Once the delivery is complete, we may continue interacting with you, to ensure that you are able to use the gift and to make you aware of other Alleraelite products or services that may be of interest to you. You have the right to opt out from receiving any future communications other than administrative communications that are related to the delivery of your gift.

Correspondence -We may use your correspondence, contact information, email address, and any information that you provide in your messages, to respond to you.

If you demonstrate an interest in a particular product or service, such as by affirmatively clicking on a link about the product or service, and we have your contact information, we may follow up and send you an email or initiate communication with you about this product. You have the right to prevent future interactions with you. See our User's rights section. 

Investigations - We may use personal information to prevent or investigate potentially prohibited or illegal activities, or to enforce the Alleraelite Website Terms of Use.

Analytics - We may aggregate personal information and usage data in order to obtain statistical information, such as to calculate the percentage of users who have a particular zip code or telephone area code. We also use the aggregated information to understand how our Website is used, for research and/or product development, for example, to measure interest in, or monitor the use of any product or promotions that we provide through the Website, to improve these products or promotions, and for the technical administration of the Website.

With whom we share personal information

From time to time, we may disclose personal information to third parties, as follows:

Business Partners - We may team up with other companies ("business partners") to offer certain promotions, jointly sponsor and promote such promotions, and develop sub-sites or separate websites that are used for promotion. If you decide to participate in one of these promotions, the personal information that is collected from the relevant subsite will be collected by both Alleraelite and the business partner(s) participating in the promotion. We will use that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and our business partner will use it in accordance with its own privacy policy. Please note that we do not control the privacy practices of our business partners.

Service Providers - We may engage certain third parties to perform functions and provide services to us, including, without limitation, hosting and maintenance, customer relationship, storage, database management, credit card processing, shipping, fraud prevention, business analytics, chat, website analytics, website optimization, lead scoring, retargeting, direct marketing campaign and the sending of newsletters, or similar services.

We will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these functions and provide such services, and only pursuant to binding contractual obligations requiring such third parties to maintain the privacy and security of your personal information.

To Defend or Enforce our Rights - We may use or share personal information to protect Alleraelite or protect the Website, to establish or exercise our legal rights, respond to a breach of our Website Terms of Use, when we believe it is appropriate to protect the property and rights of Alleraelite or a third party, the safety of our company, our customers or others, to investigate, prevent, take action against, or stop any fraudulent, illegal, unethical, or legally actionable activity, in connection with our Website, or other products the Alleraelite Website Terms of Use, or other agreements. 

Business Transfers - If any or all of the assets of Alleraelite are acquired by, or merged with those of another entity, or in the unlikely event of a bankruptcy, we may disclose, share or transfer some or all of our user's personal information to or with this entity in preparation of the transaction, as part of the due diligence, or after the transaction has been consummated, so that the successor entity can continue providing our services to our users. If the recipient of the personal information has personal information practices that do not meet the substance of this Privacy Policy, you will be given the opportunity not to continue to use the Website. 

Compliance with Laws and Third Party Requests - Alleraelite cooperates with government and law enforcement officials or private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We may disclose any information about you to the government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our reasonable discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to and defend against legal claims, respond to legal processes (including a facially valid subpoena, warrant, court order or other legal processes), or otherwise as required by law. Please note that we may not be able to notify you of a request for the disclosure of your information as described above because doing so might be prohibited by law, because doing so would jeopardize an investigation into illegal or fraudulent activity, or because we do not have your contact information. 

Aggregate Information - We may prepare reports, market analyses, and trend analyses that are based on the compilation of data that Alleraelite has collected. These reports do not contain specific user information, but only aggregate information regarding a group of users. Data aggregation is a process in which data is gathered and expressed in a summary form for purposes such as statistical analysis, in order to obtain information about a particular group based on specific variables. This aggregated information is used for industry analysis, demographic profiling, and other purposes. 

Cookies and other technologies

We use cookies and other technologies as described below to gather information about the users of our Website, in order to know what information is or might be of interest to them. All personal information collected through cookies is processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy. 

Cookies - Some cookies are managed by us, and others by our service providers, such as when we display advertisements on third parties websites. These cookies are used for a variety of purposes. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following the directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file. 

The use of cookies by our partners, affiliates, tracking utility companies, or service providers is not covered by our privacy statement. We do not have access to or control over these cookies.

Some cookies enable services that you have specifically asked for, while other cookies are used to remember the choices you made (for example, the size of the font, or the language you prefer) in order to make it easier for you to use our Website when you return. 

Other cookies collect information about how users use our Website, for example, which pages they visit most often, or how long they stay on a particular page. 

Finally, other cookies are used to collect information about your perceived interest in our products so that we can arrange for advertisements regarding these products to display on other sites that you visit on the Internet. This way when you visit other sites that display advertisements, the advertisements that you see are more relevant to you. 

When users visit the Website, we may store a number or code in their browsers using one or several cookies to remember their visit. This unique number or code identifies a browser on a specific computer. Browsers may be associated with demographic information, such as gender or age range, based on the other websites that were visited by that browser. 

Tags - Our Website site may also use tags (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags, or Web beacons), which are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, that are placed in the code of a webpage. 

We use tags to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, and to improve Website performance. We also may allow our service providers to use tags to analyze visitor traffic and actions on our Website and to help us understand which pages are more attractive to Users, or which emails have been opened by recipients. This helps us measure the effectiveness of our content and other offerings.
