By purchasing our products or using our services or our Website, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
Consumer Information

We receive and may keep personal information voluntarily given to us when you make a purchase, register on our Website, take part in a special promotion, or provide any other information or unique preferences to better serve you. Personal information is information you provide that lets us know specific facts about you so that we can fulfill your order(s) and/or customize information we deliver to you.

Some of this information also may be used to contact you about sales and special offers, unless you have opted not to receive promotional communications from Nina Shoes.

The personal information we collect may also include information you provide to us about other people. For example, you may provide us with personal information (i.e., name and address) of a merchandise gift recipient. When you provide us with personal information about the intended recipient of a shipment, we use that information solely for the purposes of processing the shipment and, in some cases, to communicate with the intended recipient to provide information pertaining to the status of the shipment. We rely on you to obtain the intended recipient's consent to our use of their personal information for these limited purposes.

Information from Other Sources

We may receive information about you from other sources such as updated address information and shopping habits. This information may help us to improve our ability to serve your needs such as ensuring the accurate delivery of direct mail materials and providing product recommendations and special offers that we think will interest you.

Use of Cookies and Other Technology

We collect and store certain other information automatically whenever you interact with our Website. We want you to be aware that certain online tools exist to help us serve and recognize you when you visit our Website. For example, we collect your IP address, browser information and reference site domain name every time you visit our Website. We also collect information regarding customer traffic patterns and site usage. This information is used to analyze and improve our Website and to personalize your experience or better serve your needs.

You may be familiar with the term "cookies", which are files stored on your computer's hard drive by your browser. These cookies may be placed on your computer when you click on a Nina Shoes e-mail, banner, or on our Website directly. We use this information to understand how users navigate to and around our Website, view product pages, access content and make purchases. These cookies may also be used to track user shopping habits across external websites to gather insight on shopping behaviors and demographic/geographic information such as gender, age and location.
