PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit the www.kvjdesigns.com site, we collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, and time zone by using web beacons, tags, pixels, log files, and 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 information as “Device Information”.
We collect Device Information including, but not limited to, Internet activity information such as information about your web browser, IP address, and time zone. We collect this information through our use of cookies, which we explain in the section below entitled “Cookies.”
We also collect the information you provide to us, including when you create an account, make a purchase, or attempt to make a purchase through the site. We collect information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, credit card and other payment information, email address, and phone number. 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.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We use the Order Information that we collect to fulfil any orders placed through the site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
- Respond to your questions, concerns, or requests for assistance;
- Keep you informed of administrative changes to our Website, including changes to our terms and conditions and other policies, and other information regarding the Website;
- Administer special offers, including contests, promotions, surveys, and other interactive Website experiences;
- Communicate with you through email periodically. We may use your email address which you provide for order processing to send you information and updates about your orders, as well as news, updates, and information about our company and related products and services.
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
- Provide you with information or advertising relating to our products, services, or 3rd party products.
If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, please refer to the detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the site, providing you with targeted advertising, and assessing the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
HOW WE STORE YOUR INFORMATION
All Personal Information you provide to us is securely stored on our secure servers behind firewalls. If you are located in the European Economic Area, and provide your consent, your information may be transferred outside of the European Economic Area to the United States, and will be stored and processed securely there. There are possible risks involving such a data transfer arising from the absence of an adequate level of protection in the United States and the absence of appropriate safeguards such as a lack of a data supervisory authority. We take the security of your information seriously, and all Personal Information you provide to us will be securely stored on our secure servers behind firewalls.
HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We are committed to making sure your privacy is protected when we collect information from you. We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your Personal Information, and make sure that any third parties we may use to process your Personal Information also use appropriate security measures to protect your data.
When we collect sensitive information like your credit card information, that information is encrypted and securely transmitted. For example, we use a secure server for transmitting sensitive information. All supplied sensitive/credit card information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway providers database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. You can verify that this sensitive information is being transmitted securely by looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the webpage.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. We urge you to be careful about entering information on public computers or on public networks.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted to or stored on our Website.
SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We share your Personal Information with third party service providers that provide services such as processing information, fulfilling purchase orders, analyzing web traffic, run marketing and advertising campaigns, and operating and providing other services on our Website. For example, we use Shopify to power our online store – you can read more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information here. We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the site – you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here.
Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, in the event of the sale of the company, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
