PRIVACY POLICY

Ashley Stark Home, LLC (“ASH”) has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for all ASH’s websites (“Websites”). Please note that when you access any external links from ASH’s Websites (including any ASH subsidiary Websites), they may have different privacy policies specific to those Websites. We encourage you to read all applicable privacy policies.

1. PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTION

ASH may collect personal information such as name, telephone number, email address, date of birth, home or business and mailing address when you access certain areas of the ASH Websites that provide for the purchase of products, require registration for certain services, or if you require more information about those products/services (“Personal Information”). If you decide to reserve product or purchase our products/services, we may need to collect certain additional information, like your credit or debit card number and expiration date. Unless specified below, ASH will not use and/or disclose your Personal Information for any purposes other than for which it was originally collected. ASH will not, under any circumstances, sell your Personal Information.

At other times, ASH may collect information that cannot be used to identify you. For example, we may aggregate non-personal information about you and other customers who visit our Websites. Aggregated information will not contain any information that can be linked directly back to you.

2. HOW ASH COLLECTS PERSONAL INFORMATION

ASH may use any number of tools to collect information about you, your computer access points, and the web browser that you use to connect to our Websites. For example, cookies are small text files that we place on your computers’ or devices’ hard drive or other storage device when you visit our Websites. We may use cookies to personalize your interactions with our Websites. You do not have to accept our cookies and you may set your browser to restrict their use and you may delete them after they have been placed on your hard drive or other storage device. If you do not accept or delete our cookies, some areas of our Websites may take more time to work, or may not function properly.

Under the laws of various European Union countries, including, without limitation, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands, cookies may be served, as long as individuals have provided their consent, having been given clear and comprehensive information, in particular about the purposes for which their personal data will be processed. In at least the above-referenced countries, effective consent may be provided by using browser settings, as long as you take positive action. Before using ASH’s Websites, you are advised to check your current browser settings to ensure that the settings reflect your consent for ASH to place cookies on your devices. More information about your specific browser’s cookie options may be found at http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

ASH may also collect additional information from your web browser each time you visit our Websites. We may collect information about the pages that you visit and the time spent on each web page or area of the Websites, the promotions or advertisements that you click on, and other actions that you take while using our Websites. This information may include your internet protocol (“IP”) address, the type of browser, the time that your browser was used to access our Websites, and the address of any website that you may have used to link to this Website.

Our Internet Service Providers (defined below) may also use other standard web-based technologies to analyze your movements while accessing our Websites. The technologies include web “beacons,” “pixel tags,” and “clear gifs.” These technologies help us ascertain the effectiveness of our product and service campaigns and marketing programs, allow us to customize the services offered on or through our Websites, and help determine the best use for the Websites content, and product and service offerings. Some of this information, including the IP address, may be stored on our Internet Service Provider’s server logs, and may be available for extended periods of time.

While ASH takes all reasonable steps to protect the privacy of its Website visitors, ASH cannot promise that its current online applications programming will address every browser setting or honor every personal browser preference. In particular, ASH has not implemented the necessary program changes to honor “Do Not Track” or “DNT” browser signals. As ASH’s online applications programming is refined, ASH will take all reasonable steps to honor such requests in the future. Please return to this privacy policy for further updates on this topic.

Further, ASH’s Internet Service Providers or Authorized Third Parties (defined below) may implement technologies that allow for the collection of Personal Information over time and across websites. ASH recommends that you review each privacy policy posted on the websites that you visit to better understand privacy practices on those websites.

At times, ASH may use the services of independent companies to provide certain services to you, including, without limitation, website hosting services, credit card processing, order processing and shipping services, and guest surveys (“Internet Service Providers” or “Authorized Third Parties”). ASH may share your Personal Information with the Internet Service Providers as appropriate. ASH will not share Personal Information with outside third parties without your consent, except to the extent necessary to complete your request for products and services offered through the ASH Websites.

We may also use non-personal aggregate information to improve our Websites. For example, our Internet Service Providers may report to us that there were a particular number of visitors to a certain area of our Websites, or that a certain number of businesses or a certain number of individuals completed our registration forms in particular areas of our Website. Such information may also be used to analyze the effectiveness of our business and advertising models.

If you submit a resume or seek to fulfill other staffing requirements, we will use that information solely in connection with your application for current or future staffing requirements, and we may also share your resume or application information with our business partners or affiliates that have staffing requirements for which you may be qualified.
