If you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, you should first contact us by emailing [email protected] and writing "Privacy Policy" in the subject line. You may also write to us at Cavanaugh's BrideShow/Planner, PO Box 91, Morgan PA 15065 or call 412-206-0096.

How We Collect Your Information

The first thing to remember about privacy is that there is only so much information that any website can collect without your answering of specific questions. Brideshow.com collects IP addresses (in other words, the location of your computer on the Internet) for system administration, troubleshooting, and to examine overall traffic trends. (For example, IP addresses help us determine the percentage of people coming from various online gateways, such as Yahoo! or America Online.) This information, in aggregate form, is recorded for administrative purposes only. IP addresses are not linked to any personal information.

Brideshow.com uses a cookie, a small data file stored on your computer, to customize portions of our site to your preferences. For example, Bride Show uses a cookie to identify you as a member and to make sure that only you have access to, for example, your own personal wedding budget and calendar. This way, you answer certain questions only once and not every time you participate in an activity or event. The cookie by itself doesn't tell us, or anyone else, who you are, what your email address is, or anything else personal. You provide that information when you register with Bride Show, and only Bride Show has access to that information. If you choose set up your browser to reject all cookies, please understand that you may be limited to some the areas or functionality within our site. For more information on cookies, please see our Cookie FAQ.

You can browse Bride Show and read our editorial content without registering or providing any personal information. However, in order to take advantage of our personalized services, you are required to provide us with information such as your name, email address, real-world address, wedding date, and role in the wedding. If you choose to post comments on our website, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit is public and can be read, collected, or used by other users of those areas, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for any personally identifiable information you choose to submit.

What We Do With the Information We Collect

Information we collect from your membership helps us to improve our content, customize certain pages for you, and update you about Bride Show. From time to time, Bride Show does share names, postal addresses, email addresses, and other contact and/or demographic information with other pre-screened organizations that have specific product and service offers we think may be of interest to you. Bride Show also shares member information with partner retailers to allow your registries to be updated with purchase status. You may choose at any time to remove your name and contact information from these lists by editing your privacy preferences (see paragraph below) or by letting us know via email to [email protected] (please include your name, address, and email).

We use third-party advertising companies to serve our ads on our Web site. These third-party advertising companies employ cookie and 1x1 pixel .gifs or web beacons to measure and improve the effectiveness of ads for their clients. To do so, these companies may use anonymous information about your visits to our website and other websites. This information can include: date/time of banner ad shown, the banner ad that was shown, their cookie, the IP address. This information can also be used for online preference marketing purposes.

If you want to prevent a third-party advertiser from collecting data, currently you may either visit each ad network's web site individually and opt-out or visit the NAI gateway opt-out site to opt-out of all network advertising cookies.

Other Sites

Bride Show contains links to other websites. We cannot be responsible for their content or for private information that you may choose to share with them. Please note: Information you release directly to parties who provide services to Bride Show, such as any vendors in Bride Show Shop or other sites you encounter on the Internet (even sites that are co-branded with Bride Show) may be subject to different rules of use or disclosure. We encourage you to investigate and ask questions before disclosing personal information to third parties.

Our Security Procedures

Your privacy is very important to us, but due to the existing legal regulatory and security environment, we cannot fully ensure that your private communications and other personally identifiable information will not be disclosed to third parties. Under certain circumstances, the government or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Additionally, in the unlikely event we need to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, we can disclose any information about you to private entities, law enforcement, or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate.

Legal Disclaimer

Though we make every effort to preserve your privacy we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site.
