Privacy Policy
At the Beauty Corner, we implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information whenever you interact with our website.
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.thebeautycorner.shop (the “Site”).
ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
The Beauty Corner fully recognizes the importance of your privacy, and it is strongly committed to protecting your personal information.
Our privacy policy is simple: Except as disclosed below, we don't sell, trade, give away, rent, or disclose your personal information to unrelated third parties. One of the basic principles we've tried to follow in designing the Site is to limit the information we collect from and share about you.
By visiting our website, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
SECURE SERVER
We take your personal information very seriously and will protect it with integrity.
Personal information collected at the Site is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public. Only those employees and service providers who need access to personal information to do their jobs are allowed access, each having confidentiality obligations.
To protect the security of your information during transmission, we use the industry-standard encryption protocol known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), which encrypts the information you input.
For example, when using a credit card to make an on-line purchase through www.thebeautycorner.shop, your personal information is encrypted into our payment gateway providers database before you conduct your transaction, only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems and are required to keep the information confidential.
After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will not be stored on our servers.
While we try our best to safeguard your personal information once we receive it, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
Please refer to the “Got Questions?” section of this Policy for information on how to get in touch with us.
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
This information is used to analyze and improve our website, to provide our customers with a fulfilling shopping experience, and to personalize our communications with you, as well as your shopping experience.
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include a unique anonymous identifier. Most browsers accept cookies automatically but allow you to disable them. We recommend that you leave cookies "turned on" so that we can offer you a better shopping experience. 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, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card details, 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?
Your personal information will be used within our company for our business purposes only, to assist us in communicating with you about sales, new products, new site features, special offers, promotions, or any other activity that may improve your shopping experience.
We use the Order Information that we collect, generally, to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
- Communicate with you.
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud.
- When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, to provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.
We use the Device Information that we collect, 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).
Additionally, we may use the Device Information to customize your shopping experience, personalize our service offerings to meet your needs, send you communications about promotions or offers via regular mail, email or other electronic channels, as well as deliver marketing communications based on your interests.
SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We share your Personal Information with third-party companies to assist in improving your shopping experience with us and personalize our service offerings to meet your specific needs.
For example, we use Shopify to power our online store. You can read more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information here: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy
Additionally, if you complete a product review or other feedback, we may use your submission for commercial purposes to promote our products and services.
Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful requests for information we receive, or to protect our rights otherwise.
INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING
Interest-based ads, also sometimes referred to as personalized or targeted ads, are displayed to you based on information from activities such as purchasing on the Site, visiting sites that contain our content or ads, interacting with our tools, or using our payment services.
The Beauty Corner and our third-party service providers use cookies to learn about what ads you see, what ads you click, and other actions you take on the Site. This allows us to provide you with more useful and relevant ads on both The Beauty Corner and unaffiliated sites.
Third-party advertising management partners may help us display tailored content to our customers' interests and serve interest-based advertising on our behalf.
For example, we use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site, as well as to measure and target ads on our behalf about products and services tailored to your interests.
