PURPOSE FOR COLLECTION, PROCESSING, AND DISCLOSURE:
Collection & Use
We are fully committed to providing you with information about the collection and use of personally identifiable information furnished by, or collected from, visitors while using our web sites, products and services. It is our practice not to ask you for information unless we need it or intend to use it. Some of the primary purposes for collecting your personally identifiable information are as follows:
• providing services such as processing a transaction (e.g., making a reservation, fulfilling a request for information, or completing a product order)
• marketing and communications with you in relation to the products and services offered by Touch Spa Wellness Club (Shanghai) Limited, our partners, and other trusted third parties
• performing market research via surveys to better serve your needs, improve the effectiveness of our web sites, your treatment experience, our various types of communications, advertising campaigns, and/or promotional activities
You will always be offered the choice not to submit your personally identifiable information or to decide what communications you want to receive from us.
However, doing so may cause certain transactions to become affected. For example, not providing a name will prevent the processing of reservations.
Processing and Disclosure
In most cases, the information you provide is added to a local or nationwide database. In the course of processing your information, it may be necessary to transfer your personally identifiable information to our affiliates, outlets within our system and/or third party service providers for the purposes outlined within this Privacy Statement. As a general practice, we do not sell, rent, or give physical possession of your personally identifiable information to unaffiliated third parties outside our system. Situations in which we may disclose your information to others include:
• when we have received your consent to do so
• in situations where sharing or disclosing your information is required in order to offer you products or services you desire (e.g., a seasonal package)
• when companies or services providers that perform business activities on behalf of us require such information (e.g., credit card processing, customer support services, market research administration or database management services)
• when an outlet leaves our system and access to your personally identifiable information is necessary to facilitate business operations or meet contractual obligations
• in the event we are merged or acquired by another company
• to comply with legal or regulatory requirements or obligations in accordance with applicable law or court order
• in case of emergency such as to safeguard the life, health, or property of an individual
If information is shared as mentioned above, we seek to limit the scope of information that is furnished to the amount necessary for the performance of the specific function. Unless otherwise precluded by legal process, we require third parties to protect your personally identifiable information and abide by applicable privacy laws and regulations.

As a chain company, we endeavor to provide you with the same outstanding service in Shanghai, as you would find in any other destinations. To achieve this goal, we have established a national network comprised of outlets, data center, trusted marketing partners, service providers and customer contact centers around the country. The nature of our business and our operations require us to transfer your information, including personally identifiable information, to other companies, outlets, centers of operations, data centers, or service providers that may be located in cities outside of your own. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that your personally identifiable information is protected and handled as described in this Privacy Statement.

To ensure that your personally identifiable information is accurate and up to date, we encourage you to regularly review and update your information as appropriate (e.g., in the event your home or e-mail address changes, or you wish to add an additional method for us to communicate with you). If you are a Touch Elite Club member, you can review and update your individual membership profile on-line or with the assistance of any of our customer service representative. If you are not a Touch Elite Club member you can review and update your personally identifiable information by contacting our Consumer Service Office and requesting an access form.
