THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you purchase something from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name, address and email address. Your phone number is also required for delivery and security purposes. Please see our detailed explaination below.

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address. This provides us with information that helps us learn about your browsing history on our site and about your operating system.

Our store is hosted by Shopify Inc. and they provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.
Your credit card and personal data is stored through Shopify’s data storage databases and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall in 
compliance with all privacy regulations.

See Shopify's Privacy policy here: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy

Shopify collects 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. They are generally used to record the user's browsing activity. 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, they collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), 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 generally 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:

- Communicate with you;

- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and

- When given direct permission by you, we with provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.

We also use Device Information collected through Shopify 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 and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

Please be aware that Shopify's fraud detection service flags orders if the shipping address and the IP address are in different locations. In this instance, your phone number will be required for confirmation purposes to protect you against fraud. 

DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

In general, any third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways (credit card companies) and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by them. In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act. Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.

YOUR RIGHTS

If you are a European resident, you have the right to access the personal information we have collected about you. You may ask at any time that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us directly at info@tinaashmore.com Additionally, if you are a European resident, please note that when you make a purchase from us, your information will be transferred to countries outside of Europe, including to Canada and the United States via payment service providers and through Shopify Inc., a US based company.
