The purpose of the Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) is to highlight the personal information collected by Elegance Tiles, and how such information may be used. The Privacy Policy applies to our website, social media, and other services we may develop or deliver, such as potential apps -collectively referred to as “the Site”.

If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy or the Terms and Conditions, you should not use the Site.

This policy is in effect from July 2nd 2018.
