Introduction

We Honestly Care About Your Privacy
We at Milan Designer have created this section of our website dedicated to the straight forward explanation, as simply and clearly as possible, of the way we function and what you, as our valued visitor, are going through by visiting our E-commerce site and what your rights to privacy are.

Information We Collect and How It's Used

Information You Explicitly Provide

via Order Form:
To process your order, we require your name, billing address, phone number, e-mail address, shipping address and credit card information. We use this information solely to process your order and, if any questions should arise, to contact you about your order. In general, we will try to contact you first by e-mail and only if that fails, or if time is critical, will we try to contact you by phone. We process your orders ourselves, in house, and thus the sharing of this information is usually non-existent with any third parties. However, when we have to share this information, it will only be that information which is absolutely necessary, with those third parties that may be involved in the processing of your order in the future. For example, the financial institution that issued your credit card and the shipping carrier that delivers your order. Any sharing of personal information will be only with service providers (such as banks, credit card verifiers, etc.) in processing orders. When making a payment via the PayPal option be aware that you will be entering your personal and financial information on the PayPal website even though the Milan Designer logo frames the top of the page. This for ease of navigation back to the Milan Designer site. For information provided on the PayPal web site please refer to PayPal’s Privacy Policy. None of the information provided by the user to PayPal is shared back to the Milan Designer site as all necessary information to process the order are already provided by the user to Milan Designer before the payment. PayPal simply communicates to Milan Designer the approval or not to accept the purchase.

via "Contact Us" E-mails
Should you decide to contact us through one of our e-mail addresses for a suggestion or problem via the Contact US form, you will be supplying your name and e-mail address and we will only use that information to send you a prompt reply. Service related or confirmation emails disclosure: because these emails are related to the service and are not promotional in nature, generally there is not opt-out or unsubscribe provided. Example is sending user name and password when a user registers for the first time.

via Catalog Requests from
When requesting a catalog via our web form, you are required to provide your full name , shipping address and phone number. This information will not be shared or sold to third parties and you will not receive additional mailings other than the Milan Designer catalogs. To opt-out from your catalog subscription please contact us via e-mail

via Tell-A-Friend
Milan Designer discloses that when using the Tell-A-Friend service the user will be asked for the friends’ name and email addresses. This information is used exclusively for a one time invitation email and is not stored for future use.
