1. Personal Information & Information We May Collect
When you engage with us by placing an order or subscribing to SMS or email notifications, we may gather your name, phone number, email, address, and other essential contact details. We also collect communication metadata, such as the time and date messages are sent or received, and the content of your messages through the Messaging Service. Additional information may be collected if you reach out to our customer support. In our privacy policy, "Personal Information" refers to any data that can identify you.
For purchases made via our website or social media shop accounts (e.g., Instagram/Facebook or TikTok Shop), we securely process your payment details to ensure your order is completed with the required information. The only card information we retain is the type of card, the last four digits, and the expiration date. This limited data is crucial for processing your transactions on our secure payment partner’s platform and is never disclosed to third parties. We ensure that your full payment details remain inaccessible to us and are not stored in our database. Additionally, we rigorously perform fraud checks to guarantee that all transactions are secure and compliant with legal standards.
We might also gather demographic data, such as your age, interests, and preferences, which is often optional or collected anonymously. Any demographic or preference data linked to your personal information will be considered personal information as per this policy.
