PRIVACY
STATEMENT (Privacy Policy)
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal
information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase
from karelianheritage.com (the “Site”).
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect
certain information about your device, including information about your web
browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on
your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about
the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search
terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the
Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device
Information.”
We collect Device Information using the following
technologies:
- “Cookies”
are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an
anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies and how to
disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
- “Log
files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP
address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and
date/time stamps.
- “Web
beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information
about how you browse the Site.
Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to
make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you,
including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information
(including credit card numbers, PayPal accounts), email address, phone number
and the products purchased. We refer to
this information as “Order Information.”
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this
Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order
Information.
When you provide us with personal information to
complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a
delivery or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it
and using it for that specific reason only.
Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete
your purchase, then the payment solution provider that you opt for stores your
credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data
Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as
long as it is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is
complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards
set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a
joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling
of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
For more insight, you may also want to read The Terms
of Service of the payment system which you choose to complete the payment.
If after you opt-in, you change your mind, you may
withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use , or disclosure of your information, at any time, by contacting us at info@karelianheritage.com
or mailing us.
To protect your personal information, we take
reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is
not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
If you provide us with your credit card information,
the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Although no method of transmission over the
Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements
and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
