    Privacy Policy

    MESSAGE TO MINOR USERS

    ModaCAD urges minors to check with parents or guardians before giving
    out any personal information or linking to any Internet web-site.
    Never buy anything on-line without the permission of your parents or
    guardian, and never give your name, address, telephone number or
    e-mail address to anyone you do not personally know.  Please ask your
    parent or guardian to read this page.

    Your privacy is important to ModaCAD! ModaCAD collects and uses
    information about users of Fashion>>Trip, as stated below.
    Any user may, however, be removed from any ModaCAD mailing list
    and/or push service or any mailing list or push service of ModaCAD's
    advertisers or partners with whom ModaCAD shares information about
    you, by e-mailing a removal request to [e-mail].
    By using Fashion>>Trip's Internet telephone communication features
    (whether to "chat" with someone you call or to access Fashion>>Trip's
    webpage electronically), unauthorized persons may be able to logon to
    the chat site and to "capture" your name and/or email address during the
    period while you are engaged "on-line." ModaCAD has taken, and will
    continue to take, reasonable measures designed to prevent such unauthorized
    access, but in view of the nature of the Internet telephone communication
    medium at this time, ModaCAD cannot guarantee users of Fashion>>Trip
    completely secure privacy protection while on-line. Users of Fashion>>Trip
    are encouraged to report to ModaCAD, by email to [e-mail],
    any suspected unauthorized access to a user's personal information.

    What information does ModaCAD gather?

     ModaCAD gathers and tracks the following types of information about users:

     Voluntary Registration and User Surveys.  By registering as a user of
    the Fashion>>Trip product and providing the information requested in the
    registration form, users gain access to special areas and receive special
    promotional notices, product announcements, and contests and sweepstakes
    notices and they can take advantage of personalization (the ability to select
    content on the Fashion>>Trip web site according to a user-supplied profile)
    and password to provide privacy if that information is supplied as part of
    the registration.  Users may be given the opportunity to provide additional
    information about themselves or their preferences when registering for
    contests and sweepstakes, or responding to surveys.  For general access and
    use of the Fashion>>Trip product, only your name and an email address or
    other unique identifier is required. In order to access and use some portions
    of the Fashion>>Trip product, however, users must supply information regarding
    age, body shape, and color type.  ModaCAD will only use such information in
    accordance with ModaCAD's privacy policy described below.

    Usage tracking.    ModaCAD may track user traffic patterns through
    Fashion>>Trip to ModaCAD's or other linked web-sites.  However,
    ModaCAD will not correlate this information with data about
    individual users for use by anyone other than ModaCAD.  ModaCAD
    may organize and/or catalog overall Fashion>>Trip usage statistics
    according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by
    reading this information from the user's browser string (information
    contained in every user's browser) if a user connects to a web-site
    from www.fashiontrip.com.  ModaCAD may also track and catalog the
    search terms that users enter in a "search" conducted at ModaCAD's
    web-site.  ModaCAD does not, however, provide to others such usage
    statistics and search-term tracking associated with individual users.

    Use of the information.  ModaCAD and ModaCAD's Fashion>>Trip partners
    and advertisers use any information voluntarily given by
    Fashion>>Trip users to enhance users' experience in using
    Fashion>>Trip, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements
    at www.fashiontrip.com, to better prepare future content based on the
    interests of our users, or to facilitate users receiving valuable and
    relevant services and products information from ModaCAD's partners and
    advertisers.  For example, ModaCAD may use the email address supplied
    by a user when accessing or registering the product in order to send out
    electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls
    and message boards.  ModaCAD may send out newsletters to Fashion>>Trip
    registrants and, if a user enrolls in the Fashion>>Trip "push" program,
    ModaCAD will send to such user at varying intervals product information
    and other data that ModaCAD and ModaCAD's Fashion>>Trip partners
    and advertisers believe may be of interest to the user.

    Because ModaCAD is committed to providing you the most up-to-date
    fashions and fashion news, ModaCAD will create aggregate reports on
    user demographics and traffic patterns for use by ModaCAD and
    Fashion>>Trip advertisers and partners.  Doing so helps Fashion>>Trip's
    partners and advertisers to understand better Fashion>>Trip users'
    demographics, to create personalized content, services and advertising
    at www.fashiontrip.com, and to modify Fashion>>Trip and its content
    to make it more interesting and useful to users.  In sum, such
    information sharing assists ModaCAD in keeping Fashion>>Trip
    interesting, current and fun to use.

    Important Notice about Linked Web-Sites.

    ModaCAD's privacy policy does not apply to the web-sites of Fashion>>Trip
    advertisers and partners.  ModaCAD provides Internet links to other web
    sites as a convenience to users of www.fashiontrip.com and as a means of
    enhancement of the www.fashiontrip.com experience.  The inclusion
    of a link does not imply any endorsement by ModaCAD of the linked
    site or the products or services offered at such linked site,
    and any communication by the user of www.fashiontrip.com with any
    linked site is at the user's risk.  ModaCAD is not affiliated with,
    and does not control, the Fashion>>Trip advertisers and partners and
    thus cannot direct their practices.  Fashion>>Trip users should be
    aware that if a user of Fashion>>Trip "clicks" on a banner advertisement
    or a search result displayed while using Fashion>>Trip, the "click"
    causes the user to be connected to a web site not controlled by ModaCAD.
    Information supplied by the user while using Fashion>>Trip, however, is not
    tranferred to the new web site by such a click-through connection.
    Some of the vendors of products appearing in Fashion>>Trip, or
    merchandise vendors having links from Fashion>>Trip's web-site, may
    sell, distribute or otherwise use customer information.  ModaCAD has
    no control over such third-parties' uses of customer information,
    and ModaCAD warns users of Fashion>>Trip to investigate the customer
    data policies of each such vendor before providing any information
    to those vendors or ordering any products from them.  When a
    Fashion>>Trip user links to, or in any other way visits the web site
    of any Fashion>>Trip partner or advertiser, the user should direct
    any questions or comments about their respective practices or the
    content of their web sites to them directly.  Fashion>>Trip users
    should be aware that Fashion>>Trip partners and advertisers have
    different privacy and data protection policies, which may be much
    less protective of user's privacy than are ModaCAD's policies.
    ModaCAD urges all users of Fashion>>Trip to investigate the privacy
    policies of each Fashion>>Trip advertiser or partner.  Your linking
    to any other off-site pages or other web sites is at your own risk.

    MESSAGE TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS OF MINOR USERS

    ModaCAD's Fashion>>Trip product facilitates access to, and electronic
    ordering and purchasing of products and services over, the Internet from
    various retailers and suppliers whose web-sites are linked to the
    Fashion>>Trip web-site.  ModaCAD urges parents and guardians to
    restrict your child's access to ordering information (such as
    credit card numbers).  ModaCAD has sought to ensure that each link
    will send visitors to a web-site related to the content and consistent
    with the purpose of www.fashiontrip.com.  However, because the
    Internet and web-sites are constantly changing, ModaCAD can not
    guarantee that web-sites which are linked to Fashion>>Trip will
    not change.   ModaCAD has no control over the content of any web-site
    to which it is linked or to any other web-site which may be visited
    after an Internet connection is made.  Parents and guardians are
    urged to closely monitor your child's Internet activities and to
    become educated about Internet practices that affect children.
    Fashion>>Trip facilitates "chats" (by voice and text communications)
    between and among users.  You should ensure that your child
    understands and follows your instructions about engaging in any
    direct communications with another Fashion>>Trip user.  ModaCAD
    does not monitor or attempt to control such communications between
    Fashion>>Trip users.
