At QVC, we are committed to giving you quality service. As part of that commitment, we gather information about our customers, users of our websites and other services, and visitors so we can better serve you. Because we realize that your privacy is important to you, your privacy is also important to us. Whether you visit or buy from our show, one of our stores, or one of our websites such as QVC.com, or through one of our other services such as QVC's mobile services or a QVC software application (i.e., a widget) downloaded to your desktop (all of which together with our websites we will refer to as "services"), you can be assured that we respect the confidentiality of personal information that identifies you and treat that information responsibly.

By using a QVC service, you accept the practices that are described in this Privacy Statement, which is effective as of the date above, and is part of the General Terms of Use governing use of this website and the terms and conditions governing any other QVC service you use. If, however, another QVC service sets forth a separate or additional privacy statement, terms and conditions, or other policy, then that separate privacy statement, terms and conditions, or other policy shall apply in connection with your use of that service. This Privacy Statement does not apply to personal information that is collected through the websites of QVC's affiliates based outside the United States or through any other services offered by QVC's affiliates outside the United States. We may change or add to this Privacy Statement from time to time. When that happens, we will post the revised Privacy Statement here. Your use of one of our services after changes to this Privacy Statement have been posted constitutes your knowledge and acceptance of those changes (i.e., that the changes may be applied to the information we collect from and about you).

QVC is not responsible for the privacy or data collection policies or practices of the services from which you access our services, of services we link to, or of any services that are linked to our services.

This Privacy Statement tells you what kinds of information we collect about our customers, users, and visitors, how we use that information and with whom we may share it, and how you can access and change our information about you. If you have additional questions about QVC's privacy practices or would like more information, please contact Privacy.Statement@QVC.com .

How do you treat my information if I check out on QVC.com without entering a password?

When you place an order on QVC.com without entering a password, QVC collects the same type of information from you and treats it in the same responsible way as if you had entered a password, because when you place an order, we automatically create a QVC account for you. In order to view or change the information on your account, you'll need to create a password and log in to the My Account section on QVC.com.

Please read through this Privacy Statement to learn what kinds of information we collect about all of our customers, users, and visitors; how we use that information and with whom we may share it; and how you can access and change our information about you.

What personal information do we collect from our customers?

We gather personal information about our customers so we can better serve you, and we make reasonable efforts to ensure the security of your personal information and to treat that information responsibly. We collect the personal information that you give us voluntarily or in response to our request when you choose to purchase a product from us or use one of our services. For example, when you register with QVC, we'll ask you to provide information such as your name, email address, physical address, and phone number. Registration with QVC is generally required to make a purchase or to use one of our community functions, such as posting a message on a community forum or submitting a product review. Similarly, we'll ask you for contact information if you use our notify-a-friend program or if you request that we send you eNewsletters or other promotional notices or seek information or assistance from us.

If you purchase a product, we'll also ask you for financial information, such as your QCard® or other credit card number, and for a billing address and a shipping address.

Additional personal information may be collected from you in connection with your use of certain optional services and features we offer. For example, if you register for QVC's mobile services, we'll ask you to provide information such as your cell phone number and the name of your mobile provider, as well as the payment method, billing address, and shipping address you want to use for any purchases through this service. You'll also be requested to specify payment and shipping information in advance if you want to purchase items using a speed purchase feature. Similarly, entering one of our contests or sweepstakes, submitting an employment application, or using one of our community functions may involve our collection of further personal information from you, such as your social security number and chosen nickname. If you sign up to receive Today's Special Value® emails, messages, or eNewsletters, you may be asked to provide information concerning your personal interests. We may also collect personal information from your creation of wish lists or reminders.

If you're a member of one of our third-party affinity programs, we may also collect personal information from you about your membership and your purchases from us.

What other kinds of personal information do we collect?

If you ask us to ship a purchase to somebody else or you use our notify-a-friend feature, we'll ask you to provide the name and address or email address of the person to whom you're sending or recommending the product, as well as your name and contact information.

We may also obtain personal information about you, such as contact information; updated address and shipping instructions; and credit information from agents, consultants, contractors, carriers, and other third parties. We may also collect contact and other information about prospective customers.

Additionally, our system keeps track of technical information about your computer or mobile device, such as the browser type and version, browser plug-in types and versions, and operating system of your computer, the Internet Service Provider (ISP), or other provider you use to access certain of our services, and your internet protocol (IP) address, location, and time zone setting. To help us understand the use of our services by our visitors and improve your shopping experience and to aid us in marketing and managing our services, we also automatically collect information as to how you were directed to them, how you navigate around them, what products you browse, and your purchasing activities.

How do we collect this information?

When you register with QVC, we compile the personal information you give us about yourself into an individual profile, adding other personal information about you to that profile as we obtain it. We also collect information about your purchases and other uses of our services as they occur. Interactions with our services may be monitored, recorded, and retained for our use, and we may use third-party service providers to collect, store, and analyze information you provide when you use or interact with our Services.

Personal and other information about prospective customers may be collected by us or obtained from our business partners or other third parties.

We automatically gather other information (including the technical information identified above) when you access certain of our services, including through the use of cookies and web beacons.

How do we use tracking technology?

We and our service providers may use a variety of tracking technologies that collect usage information whenever you interact with our services. We may combine certain automatically-collected information with other information we obtain about you, which may include data we obtain from external parties. We or external parties may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different online services when you use the services. We may use tracking technologies and personal information that we have collected to enable our services to function, for analytics and research to improve our services and product offerings, to determine your location, for security, for marketing and online behavioral advertising, and for our other business purposes. Please see below for more information about some of the tracking technologies that we use.

Cookies enhance our ability to serve you. Basically, they're pieces of text that a website stores on your computer—an identification code of sorts. This cookie can be accessed by the website when you revisit it.

We use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies terminate shortly after you terminate your internet session. Persistent cookies are stored on your hard drive until they expire or are deleted. Both types of cookies help provide an enhanced user experience since they recall your use of the Internet and our services, shopping preferences, shopping cart information, and your password.

We understand that not everyone wants to permit the use of cookies. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting cookies and how to disable cookies, but we recommend that you leave cookies turned on so that you can take full advantage of the shopping features we offer.

You may also review "HOW GOOGLE USES INFORMATION FROM SITES OR APPS THAT USE OUR SERVICES", (located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ ).

In addition to cookies, we use other data collection tools in the operation of our services. Web beacons, a data collection tool, are small, transparent graphics that are placed on web pages to track how visitors arrive at a website and what they do there. We also use other data collection tools and similar technology, such as pixels.  These data collection tools together with cookies measure and track customers' visits to and browsing activities at our websites and other websites and to compile sales and statistical data. For example, beacons let us know when a purchase is made on one of our websites by a member of one of our third-party affinity programs and when a purchase is initiated by an advertisement we placed on a third party's website, such as TikTok. This information assists us in marketing and managing our websites and enhancing your shopping experience.

What if you don't want to give us personal information?

Personal information is required for you to make a purchase, request information or assistance, or take advantage of certain services and features we offer, such as QVC's mobile services and desktop applications, our notify-a-friend feature, community functions, contests or sweepstakes, or online employment applications. If you don't want to provide personal information through use of these online services and features, you're free to look for products offered through any of our marketing channels and provide personal information for a telephone order by calling 888-345-5788 toll-free or by visiting one of our stores. We respect the confidentiality of all your personal information as described in this Privacy Statement, whether you give it to us over the telephone, at one of our stores, or via any other means.

How do we protect our customers' personal information?

QVC participates in the VeriSign Secured Seal Program. All of your personal information is encrypted by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software when it's transmitted to us via the Internet to any website address beginning with https. We maintain the servers that store this information in a facility with restricted access. We also truncate your credit card number to the last four digits when we communicate with you about your order.

How do we use information about our customers?

We use your personal information to process your orders. This includes, for example, contacting you to confirm your order, fulfilling it, and shipping it. We may also contact you about your order.

Additionally, we'll use your contact information to send you eNewsletters or other promotional notices, or to respond to requests for information or assistance from you.

If you're a member of one of our third-party affinity programs, we'll use and disclose your personal information to administer and manage that program. Similarly, if you choose to participate in certain services or features we offer, such as QVC's mobile services and desktop applications; our notify-a-friend feature; community functions; and contests or sweepstakes, we'll use your personal information to administer and manage those services and features.

We may also use your personal information to improve our service to you; to customize the content you see; and for research, marketing, and other business purposes. For example, we periodically review customer information as part of servicing our accounts. We may also contact you from time to time to inform you of the services that we offer and to gather information about how we can improve them.

Finally, we analyze information we obtain automatically, including from cookies and web beacons, concerning our customers' use of, access to, and navigation of our services and their browsing and purchasing activities to improve, customize, and market our services and content; to enhance our customers' shopping experiences; and for research, marketing, and other business purposes. If you sign up for our text messaging program, cookies may be used to personalize your experience (e.g., send you personalized text messages such as shopping cart reminders).

How do we share customers' personal information with third parties?

In order to receive and process your orders and requests, we may provide your name, address, and other personal information, such as your email address and phone number, to other entities, such as credit card companies and package delivery services (for example, American Express, Visa, UPS, and USPS). Similarly, if you order a product that is shipped directly from another company, or offered by us in conjunction with another company, we'll share personal information about that order with the other company.

We may use third-party agents, consultants, and contractors to perform business functions on our behalf, including customer service, credit review, account servicing, customer research, marketing and online advertising, provision of IT services, and records maintenance. We give these entities access to our customers' personal information to perform these functions for us.

Additionally, we share personal information about you when you voluntarily use certain optional services and features we offer. For example, if you're a member of one of our third-party affinity programs, we'll share information concerning your purchases from us with the organization running that program. If you ask us to send a particular product to another person or use our notify-a-friend feature, we'll tell that person we're sending the product or email at your request. If you participate in a contest or sweepstakes or submit an employment application, we may share the information you submit with others assisting us in the administration of that feature. If you use one of our community functions, the content of your posting will be available to all other participants and will be accompanied by your username or chosen nickname.

It's possible that QVC or part of its business or one of its affiliates could merge with, acquire or be acquired by another business entity and your personal information could be among the assets transferred. If this occurs, you'll be notified of the change by email or notice on this website or one of our other services.

We reserve the right to share personal information about you with our affiliates in the course of our business operations. We also reserve the right to share personal information about you when we believe this to be appropriate to comply with the law or in cooperation with legal authorities; to enforce the General Terms of Use governing use of this website and the terms and conditions governing the use of our other services; or to protect the rights, property, safety, or other interests of QVC and its customers.

If you make a purchase using QVC's Easy Pay program, QVC may disclose your information to a credit verification or risk assessment service provider which may use that information to provide credit verification or risk assessment services to QVC as well as use that information for other separate purposes of the service provider. Please review additional information about Easy Pay on our website if you have questions about credit verification or risk assessment. If a customer fails to make payments for purchases under QVC's Easy Pay program, QVC may sell the customer's account and information related to the account (including customer information) to a third-party collection agency.

How do we share other kinds of information about our customers with third parties?

We may share nonpersonal, non-individually identifiable information about our customers with the group of people with whom we share personal information, as well as with other third parties, such as vendors, advertisers, and marketing firms.

How can users check or change the information we collect from or about them?

Web Browser Settings

You can opt out of our use of cookies to recall information about you by setting your browser not to accept cookies or to disable cookies. Most browsers also offer additional built-in tools to help you manage, control, and delete cookies, including cookies used for advertising.

QVC supports the development and implementation of a standard "do not track" browser feature that provides customers with control over the collection and use of information about their web-browsing activities. Once a standardized "do not track" feature is released, QVC intends to adhere to the browser settings accordingly.

Analytics
QVC uses various service providers to collect and analyze certain information about our customers' browsing and purchasing patterns on various platforms and websites.

Online Behavioral Advertising
QVC participates in Online Behavioral Advertising (OBA), also referred to as Interest-Based Advertising (IBA), where ads are tailored to your interests. QVC works with service providers to help us collect non-personally identifiable information through our own cookies in order to deliver OBA display ads to our customers.

Facebook

If you're active on Facebook, QVC may also reach out to you with Facebook ads that are customized to your interests based on how you have interacted with our website and mobile apps. If you don't want QVC to present you with tailored Facebook ads, you can opt out through Facebook.

What are third-party affinity programs?

Occasionally, we participate in rewards programs with other business organizations where customers who are also members of these businesses will get a credit or a reward for their QVC purchases from the other member organizations. We also sometimes advertise QVC products on other services in the form of a link so that visitors can click over to our services and purchase the products if they're interested. In these situations, we share information about our customers' purchases with these other member organizations and other services under the contracts these entities have with QVC.

Do we collect personal information from children?

Our services are not intended for use by children, and the terms and conditions governing the use of our services require that you must be at least 18 years old to use them. In addition, we do not solicit or collect information from anyone who tells us that he or she is under 13 years of age.

The following sections relate to customers who live in states that have specific privacy laws and specific rights under these privacy laws.

However, we provide all customers with options to obtain a copy of personal data, delete personal data or correct personal data. To exercise these rights, please submit a request through our webform link or call us at 1-800-367-9444 (7am-1am Eastern).

For security purposes, we do not send sensitive information (like credit card numbers or other sensitive information) when fulfilling a request for a copy of personal data. And when we delete personal data, we may retain information to comply with our legal obligations or our records retention practices.

FINANCIAL INCENTIVES . We may from time-to-time offer “ Incentives ” such as discounts on goods, discounts on shipping, prizes for participating in contests, and other similar incentives. In connection with offering Incentives, we may collect a name, email address, phone/text number, or other personal data, as further described in in the specific Incentive. To the extent that we collect personal data of a California consumer participating in connection with offering an Incentive, then the value of the personal data provided in connection with the Incentive is generally calculated as the value of the Incentive less our expenses in operating the Incentive program and other costs associated with our business activities related to the Incentive.

A California consumer participating in an Incentive may opt-in to the Incentive by following the method of participation used for the Incentive. California consumers also have the right to withdraw from an Incentive at any time through the methods described in the terms and conditions of the Incentive program. Additionally, if an Incentive is related to receiving marketing emails or marketing text messages, a participating California consumer can withdraw from the Incentive by unsubscribing from the relevant communications, using the methods described in our Privacy Statement.
