The DKNY JEANS Web Site Privacy Policy
This Web Site (Web Site") is published and
maintained by LC Libra, LLC with offices located at 1441 Broadway, New York,

or "us"), under license from Donna Karan
Studio LLC ("DKS"). This Privacy Policy governs your use of the Web
Site, which is located at www.dknyjeans.com. By visiting this Web Site,
and/or using the services offered on or through this Web Site, you agree to
the terms of this Privacy Policy as they may be amended from time to time. As
we update and expand our services, this Privacy Policy may change,
so check back to this page from time to time. This Privacy Policy is
incorporated into, and part of, the DKNYJEANS Web Site Terms of Use,
which govern your use of this Web Site in general. This Web Site is intended
for users who are located in the United States
of America, and shall be interpreted under the laws of
the United States.
Purpose
Your privacy is a serious matter to us. In order to

a few minutes to read our Privacy Policy so that you understand how DKNY
JEANS treats your information.

Please understand that if you opt-out of receiving
promotional correspondence from us, we may still contact you in connection
with your relationship, activities, transactions and communications with us.

request.
What Information is Collected on this Web Site?
User-Provided Information
We collect Personal Information from users of our Web
Site, for example, through such usersŐ activities,
transactions and completion of online forms on our Web Site. Such information
is collected, for example, when users register or subscribe for accounts,
electronic newsletters or features on our Web Site, make online purchases,
enter sweepstakes and contests, complete surveys, contribute to a chat room,
bulletin board, list serve, blog, wiki or other open forum that we may make available on or
through our Web Site, submit a comment or question to us using a
"contact us" or similar feature on our Web Site, send us an e-mail,
or in any other way submit Personal Information to us via our Web Site.
You may be able to send information about our
products and services to your friends and family members through our Web Site
by clicking on an "E-mail to Friend" or similar button on our Web
Site or in an e-mail that we have sent you. In some of these cases (unless
you simply forward our e-mail on your own), you may provide the name and
e-mail address of your friend or family member to us. Such information will
be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
You may also be able to send an online card to a
friend or family member, or send them a gift or gift certificate. If so, you
may be required to provide us with your friendŐs or
family memberŐs Personal Information. Such
information will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy and
applicable law.
Web Site Usage Information
Cookies
We may use "cookies" to keep, and sometimes
track, information about you. Cookies are small data files that are sent to
your browser or related software from a Web server and stored on your
computer's hard drive. Cookies track where you travel on our Web Site and
what you look at and purchase. They may store the information in your
shopping cart, and/or your username and/or password. A cookie may enable us
to relate your use of our Web Site to other information about you, including
your Personal Information. All of these purposes serve to improve and
personalize your experience on our Web Site, to determine which areas and
features of our Web Site are most popular, and to make improvements and
updates to enhance the DKNY JEANS Web Site experience.
Most Web browsers can be set to inform you when a
cookie has been sent to you and provide you with the opportunity to refuse
that cookie. Additionally, if you have a Flash player installed on our
computer, your Flash player can be set to reject or delete Flash cookies.
However, refusing a cookie may, in some cases, preclude you from using, or
negatively impact the display or function of, the Web Site or certain areas
or features of the Web Site including preventing you from purchasing products
from the Web Site.
Clear GIFs
We may use "clear GIFs"
(aka "Web beacons" or "pixel
tags") or similar technologies, in the Web Site and/or in our
communications with you to enable us to know whether you have visited a Web
page or received a message. A clear GIF is typically a one-pixel, transparent
image (although it can be a visible image as well), located on a Web page or
in an e-mail or other type of message, which is retrieved from a remote site
on the Internet enabling the verification of an individualŐs
viewing or receipt of a Web page or message. A clear gif may enable us to
relate your viewing or receipt of a Web page or message to other information
about you, including your Personal Information.
IP Address and Clickstream
Data
Our server automatically collects data about your
server's Internet address when you visit us. This information, known as an
Internet Protocol address, or IP Address, is a number that's automatically
assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider whenever you're
on the Internet. When you request pages from our Web Site, our servers may
log your IP Address and sometimes your domain name. Our server may also
record the referring page that linked you to us (e.g., another Web site or a
search engine); the pages you visit on this Web Site; the Web site you visit
after this Web Site; the ads you see and/or click on; your product interests
and purchases; other information about the type of Web browser, computer,
platform, related software and settings you are using; any search terms you
have entered on this Web Site or a referral site; and other Web usage
activity and data logged by our Web servers. We use this information for
internal system administration, to help diagnose problems with our server,
and to administer our Web Site. Such information may also be used to gather
broad demographic information, such as country of origin and Internet Service
Provider. We may also link this information with your Personal Information.
Any or all of these activities with regard to Web
Site Usage Information may be performed on our behalf by our services
providers.
How is the Personal Information used?
We will use the Personal Information you provide to
our Web Site, for example, to respond to your requests and to provide you
with our product and service offerings. For example, we will process your
orders, respond to your requests and inquiries and provide you with the
products, services and features offered on or through our Web Site. We may
also use your Personal Information to help us develop and improve our Web
Site, tailor our Web Site to your interests, and maintain our internal record
keeping. We may match information collected from you through different means
or at different times, including both Personal Information and Web Site Usage
Information, and use such information along with information obtained from
other sources, including third parties. In addition, we may send you notices
(for example, in the form of e-mails, mailings, and the like), and otherwise
correspond with you, about products, services, companies, promotions,
contests and events, sponsored by us and others, that we think might interest
you. DKNY JEANS may offer electronic newsletters and e-mails as a service to
our users. You will only receive a newsletter or promotional e-mail from DKNY
JEANS if you agree during registration, or during your other activities on or
through our Web Site, or using our newsletter sign up form, to receive these
items. Unsubscribe instructions are included in each electronic newsletter and
e-mail. You may opt-out of receiving such notices from us by following the
instructions in the [Right to Opt Out] section above.
We may analyze user behavior as a measure of interest
in, and use of, our Web Site and e-mails, both on an individual basis and in
the aggregate.
Do we share Personal Information and Web Site Usage
information with others?
The LVMH Family
DKS is part of the LVMH Mo't
Hennessy Louis Vuitton corporate family. DKS,
together with LVMH and LVMH's other affiliates, are
collectively referred to in this Privacy Policy as "The LVMH
Family." Unless you instruct us otherwise as described in the [Right to
Opt Out] section above, we will share your Personal Information and Web Site
usage information among The LVMH Family, both for business purposes and for
advertising and promotional purposes.
Co-sponsored Contests, Sweepstakes and Offerings
Some of our contests, sweepstakes and other offerings
that we may make available on or through our Web Site from time to time may
be co-sponsored by another company. In those situations, the information we
obtain from you in connection with such contest, sweepstake or offering may
be shared with our co-sponsor, unless you instruct us not to by following the
instructions in the [Right to Opt Out] section. In those situations, our
co-sponsors will have the right to use your information for their own
purposes, in accordance with their own policies. We are not responsible for
how our co-sponsors may use your information.
Service Providers
Currently, we use a third party partner to provide
our e-commerce solution, and we may use other third party partners to help
operate our Web Site and deliver our products and services. We may share your
information with our third party e-commerce solution partner, our affiliates,
service providers and other third parties that provide products or services
for or through this Web Site or for our business (such as Web Site or
database hosting companies, address list hosting companies, e-mail service
providers, analytics companies, distribution companies, fulfillment
companies, and other similar service providers that use such information on
our behalf). We require our service providers to maintain the confidentiality
of your Personal Information.
Aggregate Statistics
We may disclose aggregate statistics regarding user
behavior as a measure of interest in, and use of, our Web Site and e-mails to
third parties in the form of aggregate data, such as overall patterns or
demographic reports that do not describe or identify any individual user.
Aggregate information is non-personally identifiable/anonymous information
about you, such as age, gender, types of products purchased, pages you access
most frequently or search terms you enter. Aggregate information is used in a
collective manner, and no single person can be identified by that compiled
information. For example, the number of people who visit our Web Site who are
25 years of age is aggregate information that does not personally identify a
specific user.
Legally Compelled Disclosures
We may disclose user information to government
authorities, and to other third parties when compelled to do so by government
authorities, at our discretion, or otherwise as required by law in our good
faith belief, including but not limited to in response to court orders and
subpoenas and as otherwise required in connection with a judicial or
government proceeding or legal process. We also may disclose user information
when we have reason to believe that someone is causing injury to or
interference with our rights or property, other users of the Web Site, or
anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. DKNY JEANS cooperates
with law enforcement inquiries and other third parties to enforce laws,
intellectual property rights and other rights.
Business Transfer
In the event that DKNY Jeans or its affiliates, DKS,
any entity of The LVMH Family, or substantially all of any of their assets,
are acquired by one or more third parties as a result of an acquisition,
merger, sale, reorganization, consolidation or liquidation, Personal
Information may be one of the transferred assets.
Third Party Ad Servers
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve
ads when you visit our Web Site. If so, a list of these ad serving companies
will be available [here]. These companies may use information (generally not
including your name, address email address or telephone number) about your
visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about
goods and services of interest to you. These companies may employ cookies and
clear gifs to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these
third parties collect via cookies and clear gifs is generally not personally
identifiable (unless, for example, you provide personally identifiable
information to them through an ad or e-mail message). We encourage you to
read these businesses' privacy policies if you should have any concerns about
how they will care for your Personal Information. If you would like more
information about this practice and to know your choices about not having
this information used by these companies, see the Network Advertising
Initiatives consumer Web site at www.networkadvertising.org/consumer.
Wireless Addresses
If the email address you provide to us is a wireless
email address, you agree to receive messages at such address from DKNY JEANS
(unless and until you have elected not to receive such messages by following
the instructions in the [Right to Opt Out] section above). You understand
that your wireless carrier's standard rates apply to these messages, and that
you may change your mind at any time by following the instructions in the
[Right to Opt Out] section above. You represent that you are the owner or
authorized user of the wireless device on which messages will be received,
and that you are authorized to approve the applicable charges.
Short Message Service
We may make available a service through which you can
receive messages on your wireless device via short message service ("SMS
Service"). If you subscribe to one of our SMS Services, you thereby
agree to receive SMS Service messages at the address you provide for such
purposes. Such messages may come from DKS and/or the rest of The LVMH Family
(unless and until you have elected not to receive such messages by following
the instructions in the Right to Opt Out section above).
You understand that your wireless carrier's standard
rates apply to these messages, and that you may change your mind at any time
by following the instructions in the Right to Opt Out section above. You
represent that you are the owner or authorized user of the wireless device
you use to sign up for the SMS Service, and that you are authorized to
approve the applicable charges. To use the SMS Service, you must be 18 years
of age or older and reside in the United States. You must first
register and provide all required Personal Information, which may include,
for example, your name, SMS address, wireless carrier and, if fees are
applicable to the SMS Service you subscribe to, billing information (either
your credit card information or mobile service carrier information if
applicable fees will be billed through your carrier). We may also obtain the
date, time and content of your messages in the course of your use of the SMS
Service. We will use the information we obtain in connection with our SMS
Service in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If fees are charged to your
wireless account invoice, we may provide your carrier with your applicable
information in connection therewith. Your wireless carrier and other service
providers may also collect data about your wireless device usage, and their
practices are governed by their own policies.
You acknowledge and agree that the SMS Service is
provided via wireless systems which use radios (and other means) to transmit
communications over complex networks. We do not guarantee that your use of
the SMS Service will be private or secure, and we are not liable to you for
any lack of privacy or security you may experience. You are fully responsible
for taking precautions and providing security measures best suited for your
situation and intended use of the SMS Service. We may also access the content
of your account and/or wireless account with your carrier for the purpose of
identifying and resolving technical problems and/or service-related
complaints.
By signing up for the SMS Service, you consent to receiving,
from time to time, further messages which may include news, promotions and
offers from us, and you consent to our sharing of your Personal Information
among The LVMH Family for such purposes, unless and until you have opted-out
of these activities by following the instructions in the Right to Opt Out
section above. Please follow the instructions provided to you by third
parties to unsubscribe from their messages.
Your Access Rights
You may review the Personal Information that is
stored in your user account on this Web Site by calling our customer service
department at INSERT NUMBER We will send you a copy of the Personal
Information we have on file in your user account (if any). You may provide us
new or updated information at any time. We will endeavor to respond to your
request to access, update or delete your information as soon as practicable.
Before we are able to provide you with any information,
correct any inaccuracies or delete any information, however, we may ask you
to verify your identity and to provide other details to help us to respond to
your request.
Security
Protecting your information is a priority for DKNY
JEANS. DKNY JEANS will take reasonable steps to protect the security and
integrity of all Personal Information provided to this Web Site. For example,
we use industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to protect the
security of your sensitive online transactions. However, due to the inherent
nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle, we cannot
guarantee that information, during transmission through the Internet or while
stored on our system or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe from
intrusion by others, such as hackers. No transmission of data over the
Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third
parties not under the control of DKNY JEANS to intercept or access
transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to
protect your personal information, DKNY JEANS cannot ensure or warrant the
security of any information you transmit to us. Any such transmission is done
at your own risk.
If you contact us by e-mail, you should be aware that
your transmission might not be secure. A third party could view information
you send by these methods in transit.
You may be able to create an account on our Web Site
with a username and password. If so, you are responsible for maintaining the
strict confidentiality of your account password, and you shall be responsible
for any access to or use of the Web Site by you or any person or entity using
your password, whether or not such access or use has been authorized by or on
behalf of you, and whether or not such person or entity is your employee or
agent. You agree to (a) immediately notify DKNY JEANS of any unauthorized use
of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure
that you exit from your account at the end of each session. It is your sole
responsibility to control the dissemination and use of your password, control
access to and use of your account, and notify DKNY JEANS when you desire to
cancel your account on this Web Site. We will not be responsible or liable
for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this
provision, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless DKNY JEANS and the
members of The LVMH Family for any improper, unauthorized or illegal use of
your account.
We will have no liability for disclosure of your
information due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties during or after
transmission.
In the unlikely event that we believe that the
security of your Personal Information in our possession or control may have
been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. If a
notification is appropriate, we would endeavor to do so as promptly as
possible under the circumstances, and, to the extent we have your e-mail
address, we may notify you by e-mail. You consent to our use of e-mail as a
means of such notification.
Phishing
With identity theft a continuing problem, it has
become increasingly common for unauthorized individuals to send e-mail
messages to consumers, purporting to represent a legitimate company such as a
bank or on-line merchant, requesting that the consumer provide personal,
often sensitive information. Sometimes, the domain name of the e-mail address
from which the e-mail appears to have been sent, and the domain name of the
web site requesting such information, appears to be the domain name of a
legitimate, trusted company. In reality, such sensitive information is
received by an unauthorized individual to be used for purposes of identity
theft. This illegal activity has come to be known as "phishing." If you receive an e-mail or other
correspondence requesting that you provide any sensitive information
(including your Web Site password or credit card information) via e-mail or
to a web site that does not seem to be affiliated with our Web Site, or that
otherwise seems suspicious to you, please do not provide such information,
and report such request to us by calling [1-800 number]
Children and Privacy
DKNY JEANS is concerned about the safety of children
when they use the Internet. We encourage parents and guardians to spend time
with their children online and to be familiar with the sites their children
visit. We will never knowingly request personally identifiable information
from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent
when legally required. If we become aware that a customer is under the age of
13 and has registered without the legally required prior verifiable parental
consent, we will remove his or her personally identifiable registration
information from our files.
Information posted to message boards, chat areas,
club and home pages are available to the general public. Please use caution
when posting any such information. Users under the age of 18 should be
particularly careful not to provide any personally identifying information
while using chat rooms or message boards. Users of chat areas and message boards
must follow acceptable standards of behavior when posting messages online.
DKNY JEANS reserves the right to, but is not obligated to, refuse or delete
any content that in our sole discretion is considered inappropriate.
Consent to Processing
This Web Site is hosted and operated in the United States, pursuant to United States
law. By providing Personal Information to this Web Site, you understand and
consent to the collection, maintenance, processing and transfer of such
information in and to the United
States and other countries and
territories.
Third Party "Linked-To" Web Sites
When you are on our Web Site you may have the
opportunity to visit, or link to, other sites not
operated by DKNY JEANS, including Web sites operated DKS or members of The LVMH
Family or by unaffiliated third parties. These sites may collect Personal
Information about you. DKNY JEANS does not control sites that are operated by
these entities and is not responsible for the information practices of these
sites. This Privacy Policy does not address the information practices of
those other Web sites. The Privacy Policies of Web sites operated by DKS and
by members of The LVMH Family are located on those sites.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
DKNY JEANS reserves the right to change or update
this Privacy Policy, or any other of our policies or practices, at any time,
and will notify users of this Web Site by posting such changed or updated
Privacy Policy on this page. Any changes or updates will be effective
immediately upon posting to this Web Site. Under certain circumstances (for
example, if we would like to use your Personal Information in a manner
different from that stated in our Privacy Policy at the time of collection),
we may also elect to notify you of changes or updates to our Privacy Policy
by additional means, such as by sending you an e-mail.
Contact Us
If you have any questions or comments regarding our
privacy practices, you may contact us at contact@dknyjeans.com or 1-800-777-4524.
Effective Date: September 11, 2006
