Thank you for your interest in this website’s services and privacy information. This New Privacy Policy applies to all websites not exception styleandthestartup.com. Because the network sites share a common platform and registration system, the information that you provide on one site may be used when you visit any other site within the network.
Your privacy is very important to us. Accordingly, we have developed this Policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate and make use of personal information. Please note that you grant us a license to all publicly-posted content and it can be syndicated to other sites and content partners. The following outlines our New Privacy Policy.
What may this site collect?
You can visit the site and use many of its features without having to identify yourself or reveal any personal information.
If you register with the site, participate or participate in various other features of the site (such as post a comment), you may be asked to provide personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, or address (“Personal Information”). In addition, you may be asked to provide non-personally identifiable information such as location, personal or professional interests, demographic information (such as age and gender), or to comment on your experience with our site and/or services. We may also get data about users from third parties.
We may also collect data based on users’ usage of the site and its various features, but it is not personally identifiable except as described below under the Web Server Logs and IP Address (“Aggregate Data”) to collect information about how our Web site is used. In addition, we may take your personal information and create anonymized information by excluding information that makes it personally identifiable to you (“Anonymized Data”).
What about Web Server Logs and IP Addresses?
Like many other Web sites, styleandthestartup.com makes use of Web server logs. The information inside the Web server logs includes internet protocol ( IP ) addresses, type of browser, Internet Service Provider ( ISP ), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement around the site, and gather demographic information. IP addresses, and other such information are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable.
IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile data known as “traffic data” so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you.
We do not routinely collect any personally identifiable information through our compilation of IP addresses. However, in cases of suspected abuse or service problems, we may use an IP address in conjunction with other personally identifiable information to enforce our terms of use and/or to protect or troubleshoot the site, its users or others who may be affected. Except as provided in “How does this site use the data it collects?” we will not share personally identifiable information associated with IP addresses with third parties.

e) to allow readers to participate in site-related comments or criticisms and suggestions are reasonable and constructive manner for the betterment of this website.
We will not provide your Personal Information to a third party in the absence of your express approval. We greatly appreciate your Personal Information is very privacy and we will keep your data confidential.
