Privacy Policy

POLICY OVERVIEW

Venus by Maria Tash, Inc. (“VMT”) wants you to feel comfortable about giving VMT access to your personal information. We regard the privacy and security of our users as a critical component of our business and the services we offer. Use this Privacy Policy to find out what happens to your data when you interact with VMT, and what choices you have. This Privacy Policy covers how and why VMT collects Personal, Non-Personal, and "… Sensitive Data, as those terms …" are defined below, and how VMT uses and shares that data.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we will treat your information before you start using VMT’s website, or communicate with us outside of our website. Please contact legal@mariatash.com for any further information about this policy and the below terms.

For purposes of this policy:

"Affiliates" means any person or entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with us, whether by ownership or otherwise. "Customer" means any natural or legal person using the website of VMT.

"Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to his physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity and includes information that relates to an identified or identifiable Customer or Supplier’s representative, or can be linked to that Customer or Supplier’s representative.

"Non-Personal Data" means data that cannot, on its own, be used to identify a natural person. That said, Non-Personal Data may be aggregated, in some circumstances, in a manner that could identify a natural person. In that circumstance, the aggregated Non-Personal Data would become Personal Data.

"Sensitive Personal Data" means Personal Data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership or concerning health or sex, and the commission or alleged commission of any offense, any proceedings for any offense committed or alleged to have been committed by the individual or the disposal of such proceedings, or the sentence of any court in such proceedings.

SECURING YOUR INFORMATION

The security of your information is important to us, and we have established administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your Personal and Sensitive Personal Data against unauthorized alteration, access, loss, theft, use or disclosure. Unfortunately, no system can guarantee complete security of your information. As a result, VMT cannot ensure or warrant that your information, including your Personal or Sensitive Personal Data, is secure from unauthorized third parties. Thus, your use of the VMT website and communication with us about them is at your own risk. WE CANNOT ENSURE OR WARRANT THE SECURITY OF ANY INFORMATION YOU TRANSMIT TO US, AND YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.

VMT takes reasonable precautions, using up to date systems and procedures to protect Personal and Sensitive Personal Data from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. The relevant systems and procedures, which provide for system security and protect Personal Data from breaches, are described in the Technology Resources, Use, and Security Policy, available to all VMT, and the IT Operations Manual which is applied by competent VMT personnel who manage and support the VMT information technology systems and processes.

If you have reason to believe that your interaction with VMT is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of your username or password has been compromised), you must immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us at cs@mariatash.com.

DATA INTEGRITY

VMT takes reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Data the company processes is (i) relevant for the purposes for which the Personal Data is to be used, (ii) reliable for its intended use, and (iii) accurate, complete and current. In this regard, VMT depends on Suppliers’ representatives to update and correct their Personal Data to the extent necessary for the purposes for which the information was collected or subsequently authorized by the individuals.

Cookie Policy

General Information

The Maria Tash website uses cookies. A cookie is a small text file that is stored by your browser and allows it to remember information between web pages and browser sessions. Our website uses "first party" cookies – generated and used by the Maria Tash website as well as “third party” cookies – generated on our site by third parties. They enable us to remember you and each part of your interactions as you go through the site. They also help us understand user behavior within our site, which allows us to improve the experience for you.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files generated by websites that you visit holding session data that may be of use later in the site. The data allows the site to maintain your information between pages, and also to analyze the way you interact with the site.

Cookies are secure – they can only store information that is put there by the browser, which is information the user has entered into the browser or that is included in the page request. They cannot run code and they cannot be used to access your computer. If a website encrypts the information in the cookie, only that website can read the information.

Why use cookies?

Cookies are used by websites to keep your session as you progress through the site, keeping track of your interactions and whether you've logged into your account. They are used to display relevant products and services.

Turning off and deleting cookies

All web browsers allow you to limit cookie behavior or turn off cookies within the settings or options of the browser. The steps to do this are different for each browser, you can find instructions under the Help menu of your browser.

Through your browser, you can also view the cookies that are on your computer, and delete individual ones, or delete them all.

Cookies are just text files so you can open them and read the contents. The data within them is often encrypted, or a numerical key corresponding to a web session so they often don't make sense to anything other than the website that wrote it.

Disabling cookies will affect the monitoring of your activity and purchases through the site, but will not stop the analytics code from recognizing your visit.

What cookies does the Maria Tash website create?

The session cookies that we write include data used by the web server hardware about which server is processing your session, your authentication status (against the Maria Tash customer database), and the details of your activity, including any purchases.

The persistent cookies that are created by the Maria Tash website are used by our technology partners. They are used to analyze traffic on the site to recognize returning users rather than new customers. The information that is stored is used to serve you appropriate ads on other sites on our behalf. Deleting these cookies won't affect your experience or the functionality of the Maria Tash website.

9.2 Binding Arbitration. You and MT agree to arbitrate all Disputes pursuant to binding individual arbitration. You and MT further agree that the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section, and that this Section shall survive termination of these Terms and your relationship with MT.

9.3 Arbitration Proceeding. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), which are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Unless you and we agree otherwise, the arbitration shall take place in New York, New York before a single neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the AAA Rules and shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the existence, interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms and its arbitration provision, including, but not limited to, the arbitrator’s own jurisdiction, and any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. Notwithstanding this broad grant of authority to the arbitrator, a court shall determine the limited question of whether a claim or cause of action is for intellectual property or is a small claim, which are excluded from the definition of “Disputes” above. All arbitrations shall be conducted and resolved on an individual basis and not a class-wide, multiple plaintiff or similar basis. No arbitration shall be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding involving any other person or entity.

9.4 Jurisdiction and Venue for Other Controversies. Any controversy excluded from the arbitration procedure and class action waiver provisions of this Section shall be filed only in in the federal or state courts located in State of New York and each of us agrees that such courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any such actions. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in such courts and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum. The prevailing party in any suit, action or proceeding, including any arbitration proceeding, will be entitled to recover its reasonable legal fees and costs and expenses from the other party.

9.5 Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. BOTH OF US AGREE THAT YOU AND MT MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. FURTHER, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND MT OTHERWISE AGREE IN WRITING, THE COURT MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

9.6 Future Amendments to this Section. Any amendment to this Dispute Resolution, Binding Individual Arbitration, and Waiver of Class Actions and Class Arbitrations section (other than an amendment to any notice address or site link provided herein) in the future will not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against either party prior to the effective date of the amendment. However, the amendment will apply to all other disputes or claims governed by this section that have arisen or may arise between you and MT. We will notify you of amendments to this section by posting the amended Terms on www.mariatash.com. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you may close your account within 30 days and you will not be bound by the amended dispute resolution terms. If you do not have an account (or once you have closed your account, if applicable), you must cease using the Website immediately. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and MT in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted the Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to the Terms).
