DEFINITIONS The following definitions are used solely for the purposes of this policy: “Contact Information” means information to enable an individual at a place of business to be contacted and includes the name, position name or title, business telephone number, business address, business email or business fax number of the individual, but does not mean information that is collected via the Travertine Warehouse Website or Online service about an individual consumer who is a resident of California. “Personal Information” means information about an identifiable individual, excluding Contact Information, and includes things such as gender, age, ethnicity, financial and credit information, health information, consumer preference information, customer profiles, ID numbers, and any other data assigned to an individual. “Summarized Data” means records which have been stripped of information identifying individuals, and which have been manipulated or combined to provide generalized, anonymous information.

COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION This policy covers our treatment of Personal Information that we collect, either through communications or interaction we may have with you (such as e-mails, telephone conversations, face-to-face, written correspondence, signing the visitors log in our office premises, or through our website). This policy also covers our treatment of any information shared with us by third parties. Sometimes we may collect Personal Information about you from other sources, provided that such sources confirm to us that they are permitted to share such information, such information is publicly available or the collection is required or authorized by law. Examples of collection from other sources include collections from:

  • a government agency or registry;
  • a business, trade, or professional organization;
  • your accountant;
  • an employment agency or your current or previous employer.

USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION Travertine Warehouse may collect and use your Personal Information for the following purposes:

  • to administer and build your Travertine Warehouse account;
  • to market new services and products that we believe will be of interest to you;
  • to collect a debt owed to Travertine Warehouse or its agents; or to pay a debt owed by Travertine Warehouse;
  • to help us make credit decisions about clients, prevent fraud, check the identity of new clients and prevent money laundering;
  • to help us decide with respect to employment or an appointment with Travertine Warehouse
  • to identify you if you visit our office premises; and
  • as required or authorized by law.

DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION Travertine Warehouse does not and will not sell, rent, share or disclose your Personal Information without first receiving your permission or as disclosed in this policy. Under certain circumstances, Travertine Warehouse will disclose your Personal Information:

  • when you have consented to the disclosure;
  • in business transfers; as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, or create new business units. In such cases, customer information is one of the transferred business assets;
  • in the event that Travertine Warehouse and/ or a substantial portion of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets;
  • to fulfill the purpose for which the Personal Information was collected;
  • when the services we are providing to you require us to give information to third parties, for example: providing government-assigned identification numbers to customs brokers or other third parties responsible for processing customs clearance for shipments;
  • if we engage a third party to provide services to us (such as payroll processing, computer back-up services, archival file storage, customer relationship management, advertising distribution) and the third party is bound by confidentiality obligations;
  • to relay an opt-out request to third-party marketing agency (see “Opting Out ” below);
  • where it is necessary to collect a debt owed to Travertine Warehouse or its agents, or to pay a debt owed by Travertine Warehouse;
  • to respond to an emergency where the health or safety of any individual is reasonably believed to be threatened;
  • if the information is already publicly known; and
  • when we are required or authorized by law to do so.

Except when we are required by law to disclose Personal Information, where commercially practicable we will use contractual or other arrangements to protect Personal Information disclosed to third parties.

CONSENT By providing Personal Information to us, you voluntarily consent to the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information as specified in this policy. Without limiting the foregoing, we may, on occasion ask you to consent when we collect, use, or disclose your Personal Information in specific circumstances, in which case we may ask for your consent in writing, although in some circumstances, we may accept your oral consent. Sometimes your consent will be implied through your conduct with us if the purpose of the collection, use, or disclosure is obvious and you voluntarily provide the information. In addition, we may collect, use and disclose Personal Information without your consent when required or authorized by law.

WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT Individuals have the right to withdraw their consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of Personal Information at any time, except where that withdrawal would frustrate the performance of a legal obligation by Travertine Warehouse. Upon reasonable written notice given to Travertine Warehouse, (address to the email address in this policy under the caption “Need More Information?”), all Personal Information held by Travertine Warehouse that is identifiable to that individual will be removed from our records, and a notice of the impact of that removal will be provided to the individual. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you withdraw consent, Travertine Warehouse nonetheless reserves the right to retain, collect, use and disclose Personal Information without your consent where we are permitted or required by law to do so.

OPTING OUT You may wish to opt out of receiving certain information or marketing and promotional material distributed by Travertine Warehouse. You may do so by selecting the opt-out or unsubscribe feature at the bottom of the email.

From time to time, Travertine Warehouse may engage a third-party marketing agency to distribute advertisements to consumers interested in receiving such material. For this purpose, the marketing agency may use its own distribution list. This list is not under Travertine Warehouse’s control and may not be shared with Travertine Warehouse. While Travertine Warehouse takes steps to ensure that the marketing agency lists only individuals who have provided their informed consent for the marketing purpose, the individual may desire to opt out from receiving further Travertine Warehouse advertisements. In this case, the individual may send their opt-out request in writing to Travertine Warehouse (at the address noted above), providing enough detail to confirm the requester’s identity. Travertine Warehouse will relay the opt-out request to the marketing agency upon confirming the requester’s identity. In relaying an opt-out request to a third-party marketing agency, Travertine Warehouse accepts no responsibility for any consequences to the requester arising from the agency’s actions.

ACCESS TO AND CORRECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Individuals have the right to know what Personal Information Travertine Warehouse has collected about them, how that information is being used, and to whom it has been disclosed, as well as to verify and amend that information if it is incorrect. An individual may make an access/correction request by writing to Travertine Warehouse at the address in this policy under the caption “Need More Information?” Upon receiving the written request, and where the identity of the requester can be confirmed, information held by Travertine Warehouse that is identifiable to the requester, as well as information on all use and disclosures of that information, will normally be released to the requester within 30 days, except where that release is not required or is prohibited by law. If necessary, Travertine Warehouse will correct the Personal Information if requested. Where an access/correction request requires more extensive treatment, we will advise the requester of the approximate cost of responding to the request. The requester should provide enough detail to enable Travertine Warehouse to confirm their identity.

CAN I BE DENIED ACCESS TO MY PERSONAL INFORMATION? Your rights to access your Personal Information are not absolute. We may deny access:

  • when denial of access is required or authorized by law;
  • when granting you access would have an unreasonable impact on other people’s privacy;
  • to protect our firm’s rights and property; or
  • where the request is frivolous or vexatious.

We will explain why we deny your request for access to or refuse a request to correct Personal Information.
