Blissbook Privacy Policy Agreement

Blissbook is an online wedding magazine that helps brides find the best ideas for their wedding along with trusted local vendors that can fulfill those ideas. We rely on our community of users to post their images, stories, recommendations, reviews and referrals so that other users can leverage them to assist in their own wedding planning process. Much of the value of our site is in providing our community of newly engaged brides with access to a larger community of friends who have �been there, done that�; providing an enormous database of knowledge and advice that can be easily accessed to ensure her wedding day is picture perfect. To fulfill the purpose of our site, we need to display a limited amount of personal information, so that users are able to evaluate the trustworthiness of a particular idea, recommendation, review, referral or advice.

By using Blissbook, you permit the collection and use of your personal information as outlined below in our Privacy Policy. You should visit this page periodically to review any changes to the Privacy Policy.

6. Use of Cookies

Like most websites, Blissbook requires cookies to function properly. Cookies are small text files that reside on a user's computer and identify you as a unique user. We use cookies to refine our site and simplify the user experience. For example, the use of cookies allows registered users to enter our site without explicitly typing in their email address and password every time. You should be aware that Blissbook cannot control the use of cookies by advertisers or any information advertisers may gather from their use of cookies. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, you should note that cookies may be necessary to provide you certain features (e.g., customized delivery of information) available on the Blissbook site.

7. Controlling Your Personal Information

You should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information (e.g., user name, e-mail address) via reviews, messages, forums, postings, or in other areas of the Blissbook site, that information, along with any substantive information disclosed in your communication, can be collected and correlated and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Blissbook. Please do not post any personal information on the Blissbook site or in other areas that you expect to keep private.

As a registered Blissbook user, you can modify your personal information at any time. Also, upon your request, Blissbook will use commercially reasonable efforts to functionally remove you and your personal information from the site; however, it may be impossible to remove your entry without some residual information being retained by Blissbook. Registered users who wish to close their account should contact admin@Blissbook.com.

Additionally, you may choose not to provide personal information, although that may result in your inability to obtain certain services or use certain features of our website.

At Blissbook, we take appropriate physical, electronic, and other security measures to help safeguard personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Your Blissbook account is password-protected. Blissbook tries very hard to protect our users' information. We use industry standard measures to protect your information that is stored within our database. We limit the access to your information to those employees who need access to perform their job function such as our customer service personnel. If you have any questions about the security at our website, please contact us. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

You hereby acknowledge that Blissbook is not responsible for any intercepted information sent via the Internet, and you hereby release us from any and all claims arising out of or related to the use of intercepted information in any unauthorized manner.
