Useful information for bigger men and teens
Personally identifiable information
refers to information that specifically identifies who you are.
Our Websites do not collect personally identifiable information,
but using our websites 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.
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 May 29th,
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 Websites. If you have

site, or your dealings with the Websites, you can contact us at our
