Alberto European will then take all reasonable efforts to delete your Personal Information from the Alberto European database within a reasonable time frame, but, please be advised that Alberto European may retain some residual information about you in our backup and archival copies of our database (e.g. our records of deletion) to send you important service-related communications (e.g. materials related to your registration, your purchases and/or your account) that are not promotional in nature.

In addition, if a user younger than 16 wishes to send us Personal Information, he or she must first give us his or her parent’s or guardian’s e-mail address so that we can obtain their permission. No Personal Information will knowingly be accepted from a child under 16 before this permission is obtained. If a child has provided us with Personal Information, that child’s parent may ask to see the information for the purpose of correcting it or ask us to remove the information from our records entirely (please contact us below).
