Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us. At THE PETITE PANSY, we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:

We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)

We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.

We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the ongoing operation of our site.

THE PETITE PANSY operates the website thepetitepansy.com. It is THE PETITE PANSY’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, THE PETITE PANSY collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. THE PETITE PANSY’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how THE PETITE PANSY visitors use its website. From time to time, THE PETITE PANSY may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

THE PETITE PANSY also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. THE PETITE PANSY only discloses logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to THE PETITE PANSY website choose to interact with THE PETITE PANSY in ways that require THE PETITE PANSY to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that THE PETITE PANSY gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive THE PETITE PANSY updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, THE PETITE PANSY collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with THE PETITE PANSY. THE PETITE PANSY does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

THE PETITE PANSY discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information to process it on THE PETITE PANSY behalf or to provide services available at THE PETITE PANSY website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using THE PETITE PANSY website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. THE PETITE PANSY will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying or personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, THE PETITE PANSY discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when THE PETITE PANSY believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of THE PETITE PANSY, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of THE PETITE PANSY website and have supplied your email address, THE PETITE PANSY may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with THE PETITE PANSY. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. THE PETITE PANSY takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Third-Party Analytics Providers

We use third-party analytics tools to help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve its performance, usability, and content. By default, we use privacy-focused and independently hosted analytics tools that do not collect personally identifiable information. These tools may collect aggregated and anonymized data such as the pages visited, time spent on the site, referring websites, and general browser/device details.

We prefer to use independent analytics solutions that do not track users across websites or share data with advertising platforms. These tools typically do not set tracking cookies, ensuring a more privacy-respecting experience.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. THE PETITE PANSY uses cookies to help THE PETITE PANSY identify and track visitors, their usage of THE PETITE PANSY website, and their website access preferences. THE PETITE PANSY visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using THE PETITE PANSY website, with the drawback that certain features of THE PETITE PANSY website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Pixels

“Pixels” are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that are used to track the online movements of web users. Unlike cookies, which are stored on a computer’s hard drive, pixels are small graphics that are about the size of the period at the end of the sentence that are embedded invisibly on web pages or in HTML-based emails. Our third-party analytics providers may place pixels on the Site that track what other websites you visit (both before and after visiting the Site). Our third-party analytics providers use information obtained from pixels to help us improve our business and the Service. We do not control the use of pixels by third parties.

Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or embedded content (such as videos, social media widgets, or external articles). These third parties may collect data about you, use cookies, or monitor your interaction with the embedded content.

Business Transfers

If THE PETITE PANSY, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that THE PETITE PANSY goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and that any acquirer of THE PETITE PANSY may continue to use your personal information as outlined in this policy.

If ads appear on our website, they may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by THE PETITE PANSY and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, THE PETITE PANSY may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and at THE PETITE PANSY’s sole discretion. THE PETITE PANSY encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
