This Privacy Policy outlines how Salt & Stone gathers, processes, shares, and safeguards personal information when individuals visit our website, make purchases, or otherwise engage with our services. By using our website or interacting with our offerings, you acknowledge and accept this Privacy Policy along with our Terms of Service and the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy. This Policy is intended for customers and website users and does not apply to information collected in connection with employment or recruitment activities.
To operate effectively, we collect various types of personal information. This may include identifiers such as your name, email address, shipping and billing details, phone number, login credentials, IP address, and any information you choose to provide through reviews or communications. We also collect transactional and commercial data, including records of purchases, browsing activity, and payment-related details. In addition, we gather technical information such as device type, browser settings, and how you interact with our website or marketing content. In certain cases, we may collect professional or business-related details, particularly when working with partners, affiliates, or collaborators. Using the information collected, we may generate insights about preferences and interests to better tailor our services.
The personal information we collect is used for a variety of business purposes. These include processing and fulfilling orders, delivering products and services, communicating with customers, and providing support when needed. We may also use this information to improve our website functionality, enhance user experience, and conduct internal analysis. Marketing communications, personalized advertising, and promotional activities may also rely on collected data, along with efforts to maintain security, prevent fraud, and ensure compliance with applicable laws. In business-related interactions, contact information may be used to manage partnerships, evaluate opportunities, and facilitate transactions.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including maintaining business operations, meeting legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements. The duration of retention may vary depending on the nature of the data and the reason it was collected.
In the context of digital marketing, certain information such as IP addresses or browsing activity may be shared with advertising partners and service providers to support targeted advertising or analytics. While some regulations may classify this type of sharing as a “sale,” we do not exchange personal information for monetary compensation. Individuals who are entitled to opt-out rights under applicable laws may exercise those rights in accordance with the procedures described in this Policy.
We work with a range of third-party service providers who assist with essential business functions such as payment processing, website hosting, customer service, data storage, analytics, marketing support, and security operations. These providers receive access to personal information only as necessary to perform their services and are required to handle such data responsibly. We may also disclose information when required by law, in response to legal requests, or when necessary to protect our rights, customers, or operations. In the event of a corporate transaction such as a merger or acquisition, personal information may be transferred as part of the business assets.
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking tools to collect information about user behavior and improve site performance. These technologies may also be used by third parties to deliver relevant advertisements and measure campaign effectiveness. Users have the option to manage or disable cookies through their browser settings if they prefer to limit tracking.
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information through administrative, technical, and physical security measures. Despite these efforts, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and there is always some level of risk associated with data transmission and storage.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13, nor do we engage in automated decision-making processes that produce significant legal effects based on personal data. Individuals residing in certain jurisdictions may have rights related to their personal information, such as the ability to request access, correction, deletion, or copies of their data, as well as to restrict certain uses. We handle such requests in accordance with applicable laws and do not discriminate against individuals who choose to exercise their rights.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any revisions will be posted on our website along with an updated effective date. If you have questions or would like to make a request regarding your personal information, you may contact us by email at SalteStone@outlook.com or by phone at (805)669-1107.
