Personal Information
Personal information includes a customer’s name, address, telephone number, email address, credit card or other account number, and information about that individual’s activities when including information about purchases made.
Camellia Brand does not collect personally identifiable information from individuals unless it is provided to us voluntarily and knowingly. This means we don’t require visitors to register or provide information to us in order to view our site. If you choose to submit information to the Camellia Brand website, we will store your information in a secure area and use it for the sole purpose of providing the services you have requested. If you have specifically agreed to follow-up contacts by us, or requested to be put on our mailing list, Camellia Brand may also contact you via email or regular mail. Under no circumstances will we use this information for anything not described in this Privacy Policy.

Communication
You may receive our transactional business communications such as administrative messages at your email address or street address. While we reserve the right to send you our transactional business communications without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them, we do provide you with the opportunity to select whether or not you wish to continue to receive our subscription-based emails. See the Email & Newsletters section for information on how to manage your subscriptions.
Email & Newsletters
If you submit your email address to us to initiate a subscription to one of our newsletter(s) we ask for personal information such as your name and email address. This personal information is only used to send you the newsletter(s) you are opted in to receive. You may choose not to receive promotional emails or electronic newsletters from us by following the “unsubscribe” instructions in the specific email from which you wish to opt out.
Correcting/Updating Personal Information & Opt-Out Policy
You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending us a request that credibly shows the error. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections to this information.

To get placed on our “DO NOT EMAIL” list, please send a request to info@camelliabrand.com. If your email address is added to the “DO NOT EMAIL” list, you will not receive any newsletters or other opt-in email messages.
Contests, Sweepstakes, Promotions, Offers & Surveys
Our website sometimes includes notices of contests, sweepstakes, promotions and offers, and we may permit you to enter electronically in some cases. If that occurs, we will use the information you provide for the purpose of conducting the promotion (e.g., to contact you if you’re a winner). We don’t share this information you give us with anyone outside of Camellia Brand.
From time to time, our site may conduct questionnaires and surveys. Survey information is treated like all of the information we collect, and it is used to help us improve the appeal of our products and our site.
Camellia Brand takes your privacy and security seriously; for this reason we have established physical security measures including locked doors and files, electronic security and managerial controls that limit the potential for misuse of information by employees and contractors.
Participation in these contests, sweepstakes, promotions, offers and surveys is completely voluntary and you therefore may choose whether to disclose personal information in connection with these activities. Personal information requested in these activities might include contact information (e.g., your name and shipping address) and demographic information (e.g., your zip code or age). We use this information to notify you if you’ve won and to award prizes. We use information we collect in surveys for internal purposes, such as to ascertain the use of this website and improve its usefulness to you. We might also provide third parties with this information, and might combine it with some or all of your registration information. Third parties might use the information we provide them to contact you regarding products or services of interest to you. These disclosures are discussed in greater detail below in the “Disclosure of Personal Information” section. When we provide information collected during a contest, sweepstakes, promotion, offer, or survey on the website to third parties, we always disclose this to you at the time of collection.

When you log in, the cookie tells us whether you’ve visited us before or are a new visitor.

Cookies are simply the best way for us to be able to offer you the most enjoyable and hassle-free online shopping environment. If you do not want these cookies stored on your computer you can reject them by modifying your browser settings accordingly (each browser is different, so check the “Help” menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences).
