Your privacy is important to us. Our Privacy Policy describes the types of information we gather and how we use it. If the information practices of the The Donna Karan Company change, we will let you know by posting the Privacy Policy adjustments on our Web sites. In addition, if we would like to use users' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated in the Privacy Policy at the time of collection, we will notify users via e-mail. At that time we will remind you that you always have the opportunity to opt out of any new use of your personal information.

Use of Information by The Donna Karan Company

We gather certain types of information in an effort to communicate with you about our products, services, promotions and contests. The Donna Karan Company and its affiliates may also use this information to make offers to you, help us develop and improve our Web sites and tailor our sites to your interests.

Information Collected by The Donna Karan Company

The Donna Karan Company collects two types of information about users: personal information (such as name, e-mail address, mailing address and phone number) and aggregate information (such as information about how many users log on to our sites on a daily basis).

Personal Information Collected by The Donna Karan Company

Personal information is collected when people voluntarily register with The Donna Karan Company to receive electronic newsletters, use community and communication services, answer surveys and enter contests and other promotional opportunities provided by The Donna Karan Company. We also maintain a record of your product interests and purchases. We may receive personal usage and demographic information from our affiliates and from third parties.

Aggregate Information Collected by The Donna Karan Company

Aggregate information is non-personally identifiable/anonymous information about you, such as age, gender types of products purchased pages you access most frequently or search terms you enter. Aggregate information is used in a collective manner, and no single person can be identified by that compiled information. For example, the number of people who visit The Donna Karan Company Web sites who are 25 years of age is aggregate information that does not personally identify a specific user. Tracking Internet Protocol (IP) addresses is one method of collecting aggregate information about your activities online and information volunteered by you. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the Web. The computers, which deliver the Web pages to you, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you request a page from our sites, our servers log your IP address.

Sharing Information Collected with Third Parties, Consultants, and Affiliates

The Donna Karan Company does not share, sell or trade your personal information with third parties, and we do not contribute to or participate in cooperative databases, which give other companies access to such personal information. However, The Donna Karan Company may share the specific personal information you give to us with consultants and with corporate affiliates, including other LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton companies, both for business purposes and for advertising and promotional purposes. In addition, The Donna Karan Company may share aggregate information with our affiliates and consultants and with third parties both for business purposes and advertising and promotional purposes.

Disclosure to Authorities

Although The Donna Karan Company makes every effort to preserve user privacy, we reserve the right to disclose personal information where required in connection with a judicial or government proceeding, a court order, legal process or where we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with the law. The Donna Karan Company cooperates with law enforcement inquiries and other third parties to enforce laws, intellectual property rights, and other rights.

Protecting your information is a priority for us. We use the industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your online information.

To check the security of your connection, look at the lower left-hand corner of your browser window after accessing the server.

You can also double-check by looking at the URL (Universal Resource Locator) line of your browser. When accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https".

Some versions of browsers and some firewalls don't permit communication through secure servers. In that case, you won't be able to connect to the server.

We encourage parents and guardians to spend time with their children online and to be familiar with the sites their children visit. We will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent. If we become aware that a customer is under the age of 13 and has registered without prior verifiable parental consent, we will remove his or her personally identifiable registration information from our files.

Information posted to message boards, chat areas, club and home pages are available to the general public. Please use caution when posting any such information. Users under the age of 18 should be particularly careful not to provide any personally identifying information while using chat rooms or message boards.
