At Sole Beirut, we are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors and customers. This policy outlines the measures we take to protect your personal information when you use our website and the choices you have concerning the collection and use of such information.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect, store, and use the following kinds of personal information:

  • Information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website (including your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views, and website navigation paths).
  • Information relating to any transactions carried out between you and us on or in relation to this website, including information relating to any purchases you make of our goods or services.

  • Information that you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to our email notifications and/or newsletters (including your name and email address).
  • Any other information that you choose to send to us.

2. Cookies

We use cookies on this website. A cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. The text file is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

We may send a cookie which may be stored on your browser by your computer’s operating system. The information we obtain from the cookie could be used to improve the website’s usability and for marketing purposes. We may also use that information to recognize your computer when you visit our website and to personalize our website for you.

Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. (For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools,” “Internet Options,” “Privacy,” and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector.) This will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites.

3. Using Your Personal Information

Personal information submitted to us via this website will be used for the purposes specified in this privacy policy or in relevant parts of the website.

We may use your personal information to:

  • Administer the website.
  • Improve your browsing experience by personalizing the website.
  • Enable your use of the services available on the website.
  • Send you goods purchased via the website, and supply to you services purchased via the website.

  • Provide third parties with statistical information about our users (but those third parties will not be able to identify any individual user from that information).
  • Deal with inquiries and complaints made by or about you relating to the website.

4. Security of Your Personal Information

We will take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse, or alteration of your personal information.

We will store all the personal information you provide on our secure (password- and firewall-protected) servers.

All electronic transactions you make to or receive from us will be encrypted using SSL technology.

You acknowledge that the transmission of information over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.

You may instruct us not to process your personal information for marketing purposes by email at any time. (In practice, you will usually either expressly agree in advance to our use of your personal information for marketing purposes, or we will provide you with an opportunity to opt out of the use of your personal information for marketing purposes.)
