Who we are

Your privacy is very important to us. At Phenix Salon Suites we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Phenix Salon Suites 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. Phenix Salon Suites’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Phenix Salon Suites visitors use its website. From time to time, Phenix Salon Suites may release non-personally identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Phenix Salon Suites also collects potentially personally identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Phenix Salon Suites 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 Phenix Salon Suites websites choose to interact with Phenix Salon Suites in ways that require Phenix Salon Suites to gather personally identifying information. The amount and type of information that Phenix Salon Suites 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 Phenix Salon Suites updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Phenix Salon Suites collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Phenix Salon Suites. Phenix Salon Suites 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.

Aggregated Statistics

Phenix Salon Suites may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Phenix Salon Suites may monitor the most popular pages on the analytics.google.com or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Phenix Salon Suites may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Phenix Salon Suites does not disclose personally identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally Identifying Information

Phenix Salon Suites 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 Phenix Salon Suites’s behalf or to provide services available at Phenix Salon Suites websites, 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 Phenix Salon Suites websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Phenix Salon Suites will not rent or sell potentially personally identifying and personally identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Phenix Salon Suites discloses potentially personally identifying and personally identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Phenix Salon Suites believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Phenix Salon Suites, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Phenix Salon Suites website and have supplied your email address, Phenix Salon Suites 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 Phenix Salon Suites and our products. 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. Phenix Salon Suites takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally identifying and personally identifying information.
