Technological Information
Navigational Information
When you visit this Website, we collect navigational information, such as browser type and version, service-provider identification, IP address, the site from which you came and the site to which you navigate. Navigational information is largely anonymous in the sense that it doesn't contain your name, address, phone number, email address or other information that directly identifies you. However, we may associate this navigational information with your personal information if you provide it.
Cookies
To better understand what you do while on our site, we use a browser feature known as a cookie. A cookie is a small data file that's stored by your Web browser on your computer. It's used to do things like see how you navigate our Website, and remember you and your online purchases when you return. This helps us improve our site, provide better customer service, personalize your online experience, and personalize offers to you based on your unique tastes and purchase history.
Third-Party Service Providers
Third-party service providers help us analyze our visitor's site and purchase preferences, and may help us deliver ads to you about our products through banner ads when you visit other Websites (often referred to as "online network advertising"). The following provides more information about these service providers and the choices you have with respect to their services.
We contract with analytics companies to better understand your use of our Websites, and Web capabilities like embeddable widgets. They accomplish this by using some or all of the technologies described in Technological Information.
WEBSITE INTERACTION WITH THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND CONTENT
We may enable you to navigate to third-party sites and services, or otherwise display third-party content. We do this for your convenience. We don't endorse or generally have any affiliation with these third parties. And we don't control and aren't responsible for their Web practices. Whether their content appears within our Web environment (like a map frame), or you leave our Website for another site to view it, those service provider's terms, conditions and privacy policies govern your online experience (unless there's a conspicuously posted statement by us that says otherwise). Please view their terms of service and privacy policies if you have any questions about their practices.
INFORMATION SHARED
We do not sell, rent or give away your personal information to anyone. We do supply information for the purposes of billing and shipping your order. In other words, we do get approval from the credit card company and do give the shipper your address.
Law Enforcement and Emergency Response
On rare occasions, we may be required to disclose the information we collect pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We may also disclose that information when we believe disclosure is appropriate to protect the rights, interests and property of Leading Lady or others, and to protect the safety of customers, associates or others. This may include sharing information with other companies, attorneys, credit bureaus, agents or governmental agencies in connection with issues related to fraud, credit or debt collection.
Sale or Merger
If ownership of all or part of Leading Lady were to change, information about customers that is pertinent to business’s operations would likely be transferred to, or licensed for use by, the new owner.

Cookies
You may always choose to block cookies or even clear cookies from your computer. Simply follow your browser's instructions on how to block and clear cookies.

By first-party cookies, we mean those cookies (whether placed by us or a contractor) that help us see how visitors use our site, and enable us to deliver our ads on our site (as opposed to ads on an online advertising network of third-party Websites). Clearing cookies after each visit here will prevent observations from multiple sessions being aggregated over time. Please consider the consequences of blocking or clearing cookies. Many Websites rely on their cookies to provide you with services or features that you have requested or expect.
