Welcome to The Ewenique Boutique! Your privacy is incredibly important to us. We are committed to protecting your personal data and being completely transparent about how we collect, use, and share it when you visit or make a purchase from http://theeweniqueboutique.com.
1. Who We Are
Our website address is: http://theeweniqueboutique.com. If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your data, you can contact us at support@theeweniqueboutique.com.
2. Information We Collect (And Why)
🛒 Shopping & Account Data
When you buy from us, we collect the necessary information to process your order, including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, and phone number.
- Why? To get your lovely cards and wall art safely dispatched to your door, send you order confirmations, and help with any customer service questions.
- Retention: If you choose to register an account with us, we securely store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can see, edit, or delete your personal details at any time (except your username). Website administrators can also see and edit this information to help you manage your account.
💬 Comments & Reviews
When visitors leave comments or reviews on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help us catch pesky spam.
- An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. (You can view the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/). Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.
- Retention: Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
📸 Media Uploads
If you upload images to our website (for example, for a review or a custom design request), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can technically download and extract location data from images hosted online.
3. Cookies
Cookies are tiny text files saved on your device to help the site run smoothly. Here is how we use them:
- Comments: If you leave a comment, you can opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience so you don’t have to fill them in again next time. These last for one year.
- Logins: If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to see if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and vanishes when you close your browser. When you log in, we set up cookies to save your login info (lasts 2 days) and screen choices (lasts 1 year). If you tick “Remember Me”, your login lasts for two weeks.
- Site Management: If you edit or publish an article/post, a cookie indicating the post ID is saved for 1 day.
4. Who We Share Your Data With
We don’t sell your data to third parties, but we do share it with trusted services that help us run our boutique and process your orders:
- Payment Processors: Your payment details are processed securely via third-party gateways (like PayPal, Apple Pay, or our credit card processor). We do not store your full card details on our servers.
- Delivery Services: We share your name and shipping address with Royal Mail so they can deliver your packages.
- Security & Spam: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Also, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
5. Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, social media feeds). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited that other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content, especially if you have an account and are logged into their website.
6. What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you have the right to request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold. This does not include any data we are legally or administratively obliged to keep for business bookkeeping, legal, or security purposes.
7. How to Contact Us
If you have any questions, worries, or just want to exercise your data rights, please drop us an email at: support@theeweniqueboutique.com.
