When I talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, I am talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

How is your personal information used?
Order Information is collected generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, this Order Information is used to:
- Communicate with you;
- Screen orders for potential risk or fraud; and

Device Information collected is used to help screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize www.vigueurfragrances.com (for example, by generating analytics about how customers browse and interact with www.vigueurfragrances.com, and to assess the success of marketing and advertising campaigns).
