This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Yael Steren collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a “User”; collectively, “Users”) of this website, http://www.yaelsteren.com (“Site”). This Privacy Policy applies to the Site and all products and services offered by Yael Steren.
PERSONAL INFORMATION
The Site may collect personal identification information from Users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit the Site, place an order, subscribe to the e-mail newsletter (“newsletter”), respond to a survey, and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources made available on the Site. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, their name, email address, phone number, and credit card information. Users may, however, visit this Site anonymously. The Site will collect personal identification information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to the Site. Users can always refuse to supply personal identification information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Site related activities.
NON-PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION
The Site may request non-personally identifiable information, such as annual income, buying preferences, or age, also known as demographic and profile data, though this information is optional. The Site may use this data to improve the Site and/or tailor the User’s experience at this Site.
USAGE INFORMATION
The Site may collect User’s usage information, for example, information about the User’s computer and internet connection, including the computer’s IP address, the type and version of browser and operating system used, the User’s internet domain and, if the User arrived at this Site via a link from another website, the URL of the linking page. The collection of this information allows this Site to, among other things, prepare for traffic load demands and to efficiently deliver content to the User.
COOKIES
The Site may use “cookies” to enhance the User’s experience. The web browser places cookies on the User’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information. Users may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert them when cookies are being sent. If they do so, note that some parts of the Site may not function properly. This Site will never use cookies to retrieve information from a computer that is unrelated to the Site. Users can delete cookies from their hard drive at any time.
HOW THE SITE PROTECTS USERS’ INFORMATION

Sensitive and private data exchange between the Site and its Users happens over a SSL secured communication channel and is encrypted and protected with digital signatures.
SHARING USERS’ PERSONAL INFORMATION
The Site does not sell, trade, or rent Users’ personal identification information to others. The Site may share generic aggregated demographic information, not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and Users for the purposes outlined above. The Site may use third party service providers to help on the Site’s behalf, such as sending out Newsletters or surveys. The Site may share the User’s information with these third parties for those limited purposes provided that the User has given permission.

Browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites which have a link to this Site, is subject to that website’s own terms and policies.
COMPLIANCE WITH CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, the Site never collects or maintains information from those the Site actually knows are under 13 years old. No part of the Site is structured to attract anyone under the age of 13.
