This policy applies only to users accessing our web site from the United States. We are committed to respecting your privacy and recognizing your need for appropriate protection and management of personally identifiable information you share with us (this is any information by which you can be identified, such as your name, address, telephone number, etc.).

COLLECTING INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

You can visit any of our web pages without providing any information about yourself. We may track the Internet domain address from which people visit us and analyze this data for trends and statistics, but individual users will remain anonymous, unless you voluntarily tell us who you are.

There may be times (such as when you purchase or order a product, attend an event, subscribe to a service, or to participate in contests, sweepstakes or promotions, etc.) at which we ask you to provide certain information about yourself, such as your name, shipping/billing address, telephone number, email address, credit card information, birth date, gender, due date, etc. We also maintain a record of your online product purchases.

The decision to provide any of this information is completely up to you. If you choose not to provide the information we request,  there is a chance you will be unable to purchase products, or access certain events, services, offers and content on our web site.

USING INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

The information that you provide is used for internal purposes such as order confirmations, newsletter subscriptions, analyzing market trends, informing you of offers, events, services, contests, deals, etc. from So Chic Media (Sassy Moms in the City, women.wine.wear).

There are circumstances where we establish a business relationship with another entity that we deem as trustworthy and relevant to our organization and participants. In such cases we might share and cross-reference information, including  the information you provides about yourself that will enable such persons or entities to contact you regarding products and services that may be of interest to you.

You will only receive information directly from these partners if you have opt-in to do so.  Often times, you will be given the chance to opt-in at our events when entering to win prizes and through links on our website and in our e-newsletter.  We may also disclose your personally identifiable information when we believe the law requires it.

If your cancellation falls between the “Must Cancel By” date and 24 hours prior to the start of an event, guests are welcome to transfer their ticket to another guest, however a refund will not be provided. If you fail to cancel within any of these time frames and simply do not show up for an event, your money will be forfeited and a refund will not be provided.
