This Privacy Policy explains how Salt & Stone collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when individuals visit our website, purchase our products, or otherwise interact with us. By accessing our website or engaging with our services, you agree to the applicable Terms of Service as well as this Privacy Policy and the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy. This Policy does not apply to information collected from employees, contractors, or job applicants.
We collect several categories of personal information in order to operate our business effectively. These include personal identifiers such as name, email address, mailing and billing address, telephone number, account credentials, IP address, and information submitted in customer reviews. We also collect commercial and financial information, including records of products purchased or viewed, transaction histories, and payment details. In addition, we gather internet and electronic activity data such as browser type, device information, browsing behavior on our website, and interactions with advertisements. In certain cases, we collect professional details like job title, employer information, or agency contact information for influencers and business partners. We may also derive inferences from the data collected to better understand preferences and interests.
The information we collect is used to fulfill orders, provide requested products and services, communicate with customers, offer customer support, and improve overall user experience. We also use personal information to send marketing communications, personalize advertisements, manage partnership programs, conduct internal analytics, enhance website performance, and prevent fraud or unlawful activity. In business-to-business contexts, we use contact information to manage transactions and evaluate potential partnerships.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate our business, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.
In connection with digital advertising, we may share certain personal identifiers, such as IP addresses and online activity data, with advertising networks and related partners for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted marketing. Some state privacy laws define such sharing as a “sale,” even when no monetary compensation is exchanged. We do not sell personal information for monetary payment. Individuals residing in states that provide opt-out rights may exercise those rights as described in our policy. We do not share other categories of personal information for targeted advertising.
We disclose personal information to service providers that assist us with payment processing, customer support, email communications, website hosting, data storage, analytics, security, marketing services, and professional advisory services. These disclosures are made for legitimate business purposes, including order fulfillment, fraud prevention, IT system management, subscription administration, and compliance with legal requirements.
We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, or governmental request, or if necessary to protect our rights, users, or property. In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or asset transfer, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Our website uses cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies to collect data about user interactions and improve functionality. Third-party providers, including analytics and advertising partners, may also use such technologies to measure performance and deliver tailored advertising. Users may adjust browser settings to limit or block cookies.
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. However, no security system is entirely immune to risk, and data incidents may occur despite our efforts.
We do not knowingly collect or share personal information from children under 13. We also do not use automated profiling to make decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects.
Residents of certain U.S. states may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain copies of their personal information, as well as to opt out of certain uses. We will respond to verified requests in accordance with applicable law and will not discriminate against individuals who exercise their privacy rights.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be posted on our website with an updated effective date. For questions or requests regarding this Policy, individuals may contact us at SalteStone@outlook.com or call (805)669-1107.
