Privacy Policy

At Rio Moda we respect your privacy and are committed to maintaining the security and privacy of your information as you visit our on-line store and buy from us. The Riomoda.com website is a UK-based website and is in accordance with the requirements of the UK Data Protection Act 1998 relating to the personal information you supply on the Site. The Site uses a security system that protects your information from unauthorised use.

We will not sell, distribute or disclose information about you as an individual or your personal usage of the Site without your consent or unless required or permitted to do so by law.

At Rio Moda, we seek to provide products, services and offers of value to you. We use information from our interactions with you to help us achieve that goal. Accordingly, we have procedures intended to handle your personal information in a secure and responsible manner.

As the Rio Moda web site continues to be developed to implement new technologies and improve the services and features we offer, or as we may modify our collection, use and disclosure practices to assure compliance with applicable privacy laws, we reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time without notice. For this reason, we encourage you to check the Privacy Policy each time you visit the site. By using the site, you agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy in effect at that time.

Personal information which you choose to share with us will be treated in accordance with the following policies:

Information you give us

When you place an order with Rio Moda we require your name, e-mail address, credit/debit card number and card expiry date. Without this information we will not be able to process your request or notify you of acceptance of your order. A contact telephone number is also required in case we need to contact you regarding your order.

You can choose not to provide certain information; however, this may limit your ability to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, fulfilling orders, customising future shopping for you, improving our store features and communication with you.

Third Parties

We do not rent, sell, or exchange account or personal information outside Rio Moda and its associates for the purpose of independent telemarketing or direct mail marketing of any products or services.

We will only provide your information to reputable organisations solely for the purposes of helping us to fulfil your order. For example, we use companies to verify and process credit card transactions, and to deliver goods ordered. These third parties are not authorised to use your information for any reason other than to fulfil our service. We do not reveal specific information about yourself or personally identifiable data unless it is lawfully permitted or required.

It is our policy not to ask you to send any sensitive information via email, because email is not a secure form of communication.

Cookies and other computer information

As is standard practice on many corporate web sites, our web site sometimes uses cookies or other technologies to help us understand which parts of our web sites are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how much time they spend there and to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits. We may use cookies and other technologies to study traffic patterns on our web site, to make it even more rewarding as well as to study the effectiveness of our customer communications. We may use cookies to customise your experience and provide greater convenience each time you interact with us. However, if you prefer, your browser software should enable you not to accept cookies. You should still be able to use our site without cookies enabled.

We do not normally use IP addresses to identify anyone. We may do so, however, to identify abuse, fraud, or illegal use to our website or other unauthorized activities.

Consent

Your use of the Rio Moda website signifies your consent to the collection, processing and use of personal information by us for the purpose of administrating and dealing with your order or account, market research, processing your payments, credit reference checking and fraud detection, and for marketing purposes as outlined above.

Security

At Rio Moda we take security very seriously. We want you to feel completely at ease when shopping with us over the internet. We are aware that security is a major concern with many online shoppers and therefore we have delivered an exceptionally secure system.

Your credit details are not held on the Internet nor are privy to any third parties. Once payment has been validated and approved, your details are deleted. However this does mean that payment details must be entered each time, a small inconvenience to pay for a much greater peace of mind.

Your Rights

If for any reason, you are unsure about the personal and account information we are holding inyour name, please do not hesitate our customer services team, who will be happy to review your file and update the records if required. You can contact our customer services team by email, phone or fax. Alternatively, this information can be checked and reviewed online once you have signed in.
