Celebrity Messages Privacy Policy
The purpose of the Celebrity Messages Privacy Policy is to inform you what kinds

whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of
the information.
1. Personal data, or personal information as we sometimes call it, means data
which is capable of identifying a living person. You provide us with personal
data, such as your name, address, email address, mobile phone number and credit
card details. You may also provide personal data to us at other times, such as
when participating in a competition or other promotion.

provide and promote Celebrity Messages, to process payments you make to us, to
provide customer support, and for other purposes referred to in this Privacy
Policy and the Celebrity Messages Agreement which
governs your use of Celebrity Messages. It is possible that some of the
computer systems and companies that process your data on our behalf may be

service
· notify you of a potential security problem.
· We and our advertisers may use cookies to determine on an anonymous
basis which advertisements customers have seen and how customers responded to

series, or to tell whether an anonymous customer responded to a particular
advertisement. These cookies are not used to collect personal information
unless you give us permission to do so.
