You may choose not to provide Personal Information, but this may prevent you from receiving certain features of the Site.
We will not use non-Personal Information to try to identify you, and if we associate any non-Personal Information with information that personally identifies you, then we will treat it as Personal Information. As discussed in more detail below, we sometimes use cookies and other automatic information gathering technologies to gather non-Personal Information.
Personal Information and non-Personal Information may be collected by us or one of our Service Providers or Online Tool Providers.

This Site is not intended to be used by children under the age of thirteen (13). We do not intentionally or knowingly collect any Personal Information from anyone under the age of 13. We do not authorize users under the age of 13 to use our Site.
If we become aware that a child under thirteen has provided us with personally identifying information we will take commercially reasonable steps to delete or remove it from our systems. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that a child under thirteen has provided us with his or her personally identifiable information, the parent or guardian should contact us to remove the information and opt out of promotional opportunities. Upon receiving such a request, Frette will use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the information is removed from our records.

We use the information that we collect, including Personal Information, in the following ways:
Operations. Frette uses your Personal Information to provide, secure, maintain, improve and develop our Site, to prevent fraud, and to provide information, products, support or services that you request from us, to fulfill any other purpose for which you may provide the information, and to carry out our obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, including for billing and collections.
Customer Support and Communications. If you have a problem, comment, or request concerning the Site or your purchase, we will use the contact information provided by you to respond to those problems, comments, or requests. We will communicate with you for purposes such as providing you with account- or transaction-related information, newsletters, RSS feeds, and/or other communications relating to the Site.
Marketing/Remarketing, Sales Recovery and Promotions. If you have provided your contact information to us, and have agreed that we may use the information to contact you for marketing purposes via direct mail, email, telephone, text-messages, or other communication methods, we may use the contact information to send you such information. For example, we use Bluecore to send emails to users who have added items to their shopping carts but did not check out. We also use Salesforce CommerceCloud to generate personalized product recommendations. When you provide your mobile number and consent to receive text messages from us, additional terms and policies apply with respect to our use of your mobile number. We may also use automated tools to contact you by email or SMS if you abandon items in a cart.
Frette may also use third party remarketing services, including Google Ads, to advertise on third party websites. We advertise to you based on your prior visits to our Site when you haven’t completed a task, such as leaving the Site without completing a purchase or registering an account. The advertising could appear on a Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display Network. This allows us to make special offers to those who have shown interest in our service.
Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings from Frette and its third party service providers by following the instructions set forth in the opt-out section below.
Improving Site Accessibility and Usage. Frette uses Usage Information generally to improve the accessibility, usage, and productivity of our Site. We may use Usage Information in our analysis of Site usage and access, and may provide you with customized advertising, marketing, content or information.
Non-Personal Information, such as but not limited to, demographic and profile data is used to tailor your experience at our Site, showing you content that Frette believes you might be interested in. Non-Personal Information may also be shared with advertisers on an aggregated or anonymous basis.
Web Analytics. We also use Online Service Providers to provide web analytics services, including Google Analytics, SessionCam, and AB Tasty, to measure, analyze and report on access to and usage of our Site. These tools help us understand and improve upon customer experience on our Site.
We also collect user experience recordings, which reproduce your interactions with the Site, including mouse movements, page scrolling, and information you type (including Personal Information), screen taps, and other actions you take while using the Site. Recordings may include technical and usage data, as well as visual representations of actions you take while using the Site. We use these recordings to help us understand how users interact with our Site and to design a better user experience for you through identifying opportunities for optimizing the customer shopping experience through solutions such as design changes and alterations to the checkout process.

Frette reserves the right to share any non-Personal Information or any other information that is aggregated or anonymized to our business partners, merchants, advertisers, investors, potential buyers and other third parties if we deem such disclosure, in our sole discretion, to have sound business reasons or justifications

Cookies may be used to tell website owners whether a visitor has interacted with the website previously and help you navigate a website more easily. Frette also uses cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to prevent you from having to login again at each connection.

Frette takes commercially reasonable steps to insure the safety of your Personal Information. We employ industry standard technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under Frette’s control. For example, we utilize Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Transport Layer Security (TLS), or similar encryption technology when sensitive data is transmitted over the Internet, and we use firewalls to help prevent external access into our network.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as "perfect security" on the Internet, and no data transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While we strive to protect your data from unauthorized use or disclosure, Frette does not warrant or guarantee the security of the data that you provide to us. Any transmission is at your own risk.
We restrict access to Personal Information in our possession to our employees, Service Providers, and Online Tool Providers who need to know that information in order to operate, develop, improve or support our Site. If we share Personal Information with Service Providers, we require that they also use reasonable information security measures to safeguard your Personal Information.
