The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your experience at Pure Contemporary.com. Here are the types of information we gather.
Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our website or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, allowing you to create, store and share personal files on our servers, improving editorial, providing product discounts and communicating with you.
Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses Pure Contemporary. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit websites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at Pure Contemporary if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
Email Communications: To help us make emails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open email from Pure Contemporary if your computer supports such capabilities. We also may compare our reader list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to you. You must use a valid email in order to use the share feature of our Home Design Tools. If at any time you do not wish to receive any further communication from Pure Contemporary, you may remove your name from our list by following the directions on an email.
Information from Other Sources: We might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information.
