ShoesRUs.net believes that trust is an important component of the service we provide to our customers.  The following outlines our Privacy Policy.

The Sites are not targeted towards, or intended for use by anyone under the age of 18. By using the Sites you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older. Persons under 18 may not submit any personally identifiable information to us, and if we discover that we have inadvertently gathered such information, we will take the appropriate steps to delete it.

Information You Give Us. You may provide us with an email address to be kept informed of current footwear offers. This is the only information you should provide us on our site.  We respect your privacy and will not give or sell your email address to a third party.

Information Gathered Automatically. The Sites use "cookies" to automatically recognize returning users. Cookies used by the Sites may contain your user name, email address, IP address or zip code. A cookie is a small file on your hard drive that allows us to display your previously defined search criteria and notification preferences whenever you visit our site. "Clear gifs" are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and may be used to track the online movements of Web users or to let us know if you have opened an email that we sent you. We may also utilize third party tracking software, such as Google Analytics, which tracks users movement on our site.  The information collected is not personally identifiable in any way.

Your access provider assigns an internet protocol address to your computer when you use the Internet. We collect each IP address that accesses the Sites; computer and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform; your behavior on the Sites and related services, including the products and merchants you view or searched for, as well as the URL you come from and go to next; cookie number; participating merchants you visit and the items that you purchase. We use this data, as well as other data in our databases, to analyze site and user behavior, troubleshoot technical problems, resolve disputes, address complaints, prepare aggregated reports that we share with others and customize your experience on the Sites. You can block cookies by changing the settings on your browser (contact your ISP for help), but doing so may prevent us from delivering certain services to you (e.g., saved searches) search.

Other Data Collection. We may get data from or about you in other ways not specifically described in this statement. For example, you might contact customer service, or we may get a third party complaint about you.

Information you provide to us through the Sites is used by ShoesRUs.net to operate the Sites, provide you with information and services you request, and to communicate with you. We may, for example, use information you provide to target ads that we think you may be interested in, or send emails to you including newsletters and alerts. Your information may also be used to contact you when necessary (such as to assist you in your use of the Sites). You may always choose not to provide us with this information; however, this may limit our ability to provide you with a specific service.

Aggregated Research Data. ShoesRUs.net produces research reports and other information and data about online shopping for participating merchants, and other customers, as well as media and other interested parties. Such information and data are based on aggregated, anonymous information about thousands of online shoppers and do not include any personally identifiable information about individuals.

Partners. We do not share email addresses or other personal customer information with third-parties. If you have questions regarding the privacy policy or data collection practices of one of our business partners, please contact that partner directly. ShoesRUs.net does not have control over and is not responsible for the data collection and use practices of our business partners.

Other Disclosures. In addition, we may share data with any parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, and other companies under a common control or acquirers. As our business evolves, ShoesRUs.net may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including personally identifiable information, in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy. In such an event, personal and anonymous information may be one of the assets transferred.

We may disclose information when required by law or under the good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary in order to conform to applicable law, comply with legal process served on ShoesRUs.net, or to protect the property or interests of ShoesRUs.net, its agents and employees, personal safety, or the public. Under such circumstances, ShoesRUs.net may be prohibited by law, court order or other legal process from providing notice of the disclosure, and ShoesRUs.net reserves the right not to provide such notice in its sole discretion.

Other Use and Disclosure of Information for the Sites

Email Tools. If you send emails through our site, your email will include your email address and any personal message you include. Although we do not retain, in any easily-retrievable way, the addresses that you are emailing, these emails are not private communications. Also, you may not use these tools to send spam or content that violates the User Agreement.

Feedback. We may ask for your feedback through a survey, and we may use the results for our internal development and marketing research. We may also share the results with our affiliates, consultants, vendors and service providers.

Links to Other Sites

The Sites contain links to other web sites. ShoesRUs.net is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these sites. If you have concerns about how other web sites collect and use information about you, make sure to read that site s own privacy policy.

Choice/Opt-Out of ShoesRUs.net Email Communications

At any time (and except for administrative emails discussed above), you have the ability to opt-out of receiving communications from ShoesRUs.net.

Notification of Changes

This Privacy Policy may be revised over time as our business grows and evolves. We will post any new privacy policy, along with the date of its last revision, prominently so that you will always know what information we gather, how we use that information, and whether we will disclose it to anyone. Please check the Sites regularly for information about revisions to our privacy policy.

Anti-Spam Policy

ShoesRUs.net is 100% opposed to unsolicited commercial email or spam. We do not send emails to anyone without permission and we do not sell or provide email addresses to any unauthorized third party. If you receive any unsolicited emails from spammers, please be assured that ShoesRUs.net did not provide your email addresses to such parties. This does not mean that we can prevent spam from happening on the Internet.
