Essential information we collect

In operating our store, it is essential for us to capture some information about your device, such as

your IP address and information related to your visit when you browse our store. For example, this

might include time-stamp, the last page or product you visited, the indication that you logged in.

We do that in order to:

● remember who you are after you log in so that you do not need to authenticate at each

click;

● monitor if our website is running with the high performance we are dedicated to

providing;

● let you browse between products without having to start back from the home page at

each click;

● remember if you put something in your shopping cart before you decide to checkout; and

● control that your data is processed securely.

We call the information mentioned above “essential information” and we collect it through the

use of cookies. Cookies are small text files that most websites uses. A website places cookies in the

web browser and then reads the information collected through the cookies every time the user

performs an action. We use cookies. Without enabling this mechanism and this kind of cookies

(first-party cookies), we could not provide you with the smooth experience that you expect while

Order information you expressly provide

If you buy something from our store, we will need more specific information about you. To fully

process your order and ship the merchandise you selected, we need your personal data such as

your first and last name, your email address and your shipping and billing address. We also use

your contact and order information to send you communication related to the processing of your

order. We will ask you to provide this information in our “checkout page” before letting you

finalize your purchase with the payment.

 

Accounts

You can sign up for an account if you’d like. This will make us happy because it confirms your

interest in our store. It should also make you happy because we will remember your information

and, when you decide to buy our products, you do not have to provide all of your information over

again -- you just have to log-in. Before registering your account, we will ask you to expressly

provide your consent to this privacy policy. Only if you give us your consent, we will open your

account. We also you the possibility to easily withdraw your consent and delete your account. Just

Partial Purchases

If you have started to buy one of our products, but have not completed the purchase, you may

have provided partial information, such as your email. In that case, we might send you an email to

remind you about your interest. If you are not comfortable in receiving further emails of this kind,

we will give you a simple opportunity to opt-out. Your privacy means a lot to us and we will stop

sending you these communications right away.

 

Reviews

If you have completed a purchase, we will send you an email to ask you to review the product you

bought. We want to be sure that whether you love your purchase or have a complaint, you can

share your opinion with other customers.

 

Personalization

We also use some specific information related to your visit, such as the timestamp of your visit, the

page or the product you viewed, where you are coming from (if you came to our store because you

clicked on an advertisement or you just opened our direct link). This is very similar to the

“essential information,” but we use it to provide you with a personalized experience. The

information on your visit provides us with insights on your interests and allows us to send you

relevant communications. We capture this information through cookies, called a "beacon," that

we allow you to block.
