Privacy,
Security and Cookie Policy
Personally identifiable information
refers to information that specifically identifies who you are. PlusSize.ie
does not collect personally identifiable information, but using our
website implies that you consent to other parties possibly tracking
your shopping behaviour, on our behalf, in relation to the Retail Merchants
you may visit after clicking our banners and links.
The Plus Size Websites Group is dedicated to establishing
trusting relationships with its users, based on respect for personal
information, by promoting the use of fair information practices. This
privacy policy covers all Web properties owned and maintained by The
Plus Size Websites Group, including this one. This privacy policy (the
"Policy") is designed to inform you about the types of information
that we might in future gather about you, how we may use that information,
whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding
our use of that information. This Policy may change from time to time,
so please check back periodically.
Most of the banner ads, and some links, appearing on our Websites are
delivered to users through various third party Affiliate Networks, acting
on behalf of Retail Merchants, from whom we may then receive commissions.
These Affiliate Networks use 'Cookies' to track your shopping behaviour
after you leave our websites, to determine if we are owed any commission
or advertising revenue. This is standard practice, and every website
with Google Ads, or Affiliate links, will do the same.
COOKIES
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations
2003 (as amended) it is our duty to tell you how our websites use Cookies.
We place 'Cookies' from Affiliate Networks on our websites. These Cookies
are little bits of information in the Banner and Link codes which allows
Affiliate Networks track your shopping behaviour in relation to the
Retail Merchant's website you visit, via the Affiliate Network, after
leaving our Websites. Although you may not be aware of this visit to
the Affiliate Network, because it will be so quick, you will go to the
Retail Merchant's website via the Affiliate Network website after leaving
ours.
By clicking on a Merchant Banner or Text Link, you will be directed
to the Merchant's website via the Affiliate Network that has given us
the Merchant's Banner. These Affiliate Networks use Cookies to track
information about users' visits to our Websites, such as number of times
you have viewed an ad, or the number of items you bought and amount
spent. Affiliate Network Cookies identify and track your computer, but
do not collect user names, addresses, or other personal information,
and are only used to track users delivered to third party websites by
our Websites to determine commissions due to us, if any. Affiliate Network
Cookies stop tracking after a set time, usually determined by the Retail
Merchant. The Retail Merchant will often be given your tracking information
from the Affiliate Network, so that they don't pay 'double commission'
to us.
Affiliate Networks will never contact you, but if you choose to give
further information to the Retail Merchants you visit, you may receive
emails or offers if you choose to register with them. Their privacy
policies may differ from our Policy.
Our Websites may also contain non-advertising links to other sites.
Please be aware that The Plus Size Websites Group is not responsible
for the privacy practices or cookie policy of such other sites. Please
be aware that when you leave our sites, you need to read the privacy
statements and cookie policy of each and every website you then go to
that collects personally identifiable information.
POSSIBLE FUTURE USE
In future we might request personally identifiable information if you
register with us or correspond with us, but as yet this is not our policy.
This information might include your name, mailing address, telephone
number or e-mail address.
Third party advertising partners will not have access to any personally
identifiable information you might choose to give to us. If you choose
to give us personally identifiable information, we will not share it
with third parties. If you choose to give us personally identifiable
information, you may occasionally receive emails containing information
about us, or information about third party services or affiliate programs
that are likely to be of interest to our users. You will be able to
opt-out of receiving such emails from us.
In future we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities
to provide personally identifiable information to appropriate governmental
authorities. We will disclose personally identifiable information upon
receipt of a court order or subpoena or in order to assist a law enforcement
investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying
those who use our Websites' services for illegal activities.
In the event that The Plus Size Websites Group goes through a business
transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or
selling a portion of its assets, any users' personally identifiable
information that we have will, in most instances, be part of the assets
transferred. Users may be notified prior to a change of ownership or
control of their personal information. If as a result of the business
transition, the users' personally identifiable information will be used
in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, users
may object to such use by contacting us at our given contact phone numbers.
The Policy was last changed on June 6th, 2012. If we make changes to
any terms or conditions of the Policy, the changes will be posted in
this document so that you will always know what information we gather,
as well as how we might use that information and to whom we may disclose
it. We may change, modify, add or remove portions of the Policy at any
time. Please be sure to check this page before proceeding to use the
