At Giverni.com ("Giverni"), we take your privacy very seriously.

This Privacy Policy is designed to inform you of what information Giverni collects, why we collect such information and how we use the information we collected. 

You can browse our web site without providing any information. However, you can also provide or make available any information to us, which may include your first and last name, email address, home address, postcode or other contact information etc. This information are known as "Personally Identifiable Information". When you submit your personally identifiable information to us, you are giving us your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personally identifiable information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. As a policy, Giverni does not sell or trade your personally identifiable information to third parties, unless you have granted us permission to do so.

When you register as a member of Giverni or sign up for any of the services that we offer to members or other users on a subscription basis, for example, newsletters and/or email communications about news and events, you will be asked to confirm that you agree to our use of any personally identifiable information that we may collect from you or be provided with by you in connection with your use of the Giverni web site.

Your agreement is important to us as it indicates that you agree to our use of your information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not provide your consent, you will not be able to become a member of Giverni and/or subscribe to our email communications. If you subscribe to any of our email communications, you may also unsubscribe at any time. You may also withdraw your consent to our use of any other personally identifiable information that we hold on you at any time.

Giverni collects the details you provide when you register as a member of Giverni or sign up for any of our communication together with any personally identifiable information we learn about you through your use of our web site. For example, we may collect additional personally identifiable information through your participation in any promotions and competitions offered by us.

We will notify users of our web site if we make any material changes to our Privacy Policy that substantially affect the use of any personally identifiable information we collect. We will not make new use of any personally identifiable information Giverni gathered from members or users prior to any such change in our Privacy Policy without first obtaining their consent.

The security of your information is of paramount importance to us. Unfortunately, no security system, or system of transmitting data over the internet, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot guarantee the security of our servers, the means by which information is transmitted between your computer and our servers, or any information provided to us or to any third party through or in connection with the Giverni web site. You provide all such information at your own risk.

If you wish to subscribe to our newsletters or email communications, we will need to collect your email address in order to send our newsletters and/or email communications to you. We will not use your email address for any purpose except sending you the newsletters and/or emails you have requested, maintaining our subscription lists, communicating with you in the event of a change in the ownership of Giverni or its business, or notifying you of changes to the Privacy Policy, unless (i) we are required to do so by law or pursuant to a court or similar order; (ii) as deemed necessary, at our discretion, to protect the legal rights or the property of Giverni, a member or third party, (iii) in connection with a sale, merger, assignment, joint venture or other transfer or disposition of a portion or all of the assets or stock of Giverni or its affiliated entities (including, without limitation, in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings). (iv) you have provided your consent for us to do so.

In addition, Giverni reserves the right to allow access to its systems to third parties providing necessary technical services when such access is required in order to provide those services and to provide your personally identifiable information to third parties who provide services on behalf of Giverni, provided that such third parties are bound by Giverni’s Privacy Policy.

We use the personally identifiable information we collect to supply our goods and services to you. We may also use your contact details to communicate with you (including without limitation in the event of a change in ownership of Giverni or its business, our business practices, or Privacy Policy). Except where you have asked us not to, we may contact you by email, post, text message or telephone. We may also use your personally identifiable information to send you information, special offers, promotions, coupons and free samples whether on behalf of ourselves or our group companies or on behalf of carefully selected third parties.

Where we provide links to third party web sites (whether or not they are affiliated with Giverni and even if Giverni branding appears on these sites), such sites are not controlled by us and are not covered by this Privacy Policy. These links are provided for your information and convenience only. If you access these sites by using the links provided, the operators of these sites may collect information from you which will be used by them in accordance with their privacy policy. As such, we cannot provide a guarantee on their use of your information and you are advised to check the privacy policy of such third.
