    Section A - Information Collected and How it is Used

    Please note that we collect and store certain limited information related to your visits and interactions with our Site. What we collect and how we use it is set forth below.

    What we collect when you browse our Site:

    If you do nothing during your visit but browse, read content, or download information, we will gather and store certain limited information about your visit. You should know that this information does not identify you personally. We automatically collect and store the following information about your visit:

  • Your IP address, which is an identifier assigned either to your Internet service or directly to your computer. We use the IP address to direct Internet traffic to you;
  • Your browsing behaviour, which includes your browser and device characteristics;
  • The date and time you visited;
  • The pages or services you accessed; and
  • Any referring URLs, or sites that directed you to our Site.

    • The information we automatically collect or store is used by us only for improving the content of our site services and to help us understand how people are using our services so that we may continually improve the performance, suitability and usefulness of our Site to you, our customers and potential customers.

    What we collect if you provide it to us:

    If, during your visit, you participate in a survey, send an e-mail, or perform some other transaction (see Section III) online, the following additional information will be collected:

  • The e-mail address and contents of e-mail, for those who communicate with us via e-mail;
  • Information volunteered in response to a survey or by participating in a contest or other promotion sponsored by us;
  • Information volunteered during your registration on our Site; and
  • Information volunteered through an online form for any other purpose, including requests to receive samples or marketing information, credit applications (for businesses), subscriptions to our newsletter or other content, and use of our online order forms to order products or services.

    • We will use your e-mail to respond appropriately. This may be to respond to you or to address issues you may identify to further improve our services or Site. As an added service to you if you have an account with us, we will also use this information to pre-populate online order forms to save you time in the ordering and re-ordering process.

    Use and disclosure of information collected:

    Please note that there are instances where we share your volunteered information with other parties.

    Aleah’s Boutique, like many internet and catalogue retailers, employs other companies and individuals to perform specific functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivery of packages, mail and e-mail, address hygiene, credit card processing services, or research that improves the quality of services or offers provided to you. These providers have access to the information that they require to perform their functions but are prohibited by us from using that information for any other purposes. You may, however, “opt-out” of this use of your information at any time, but doing so may impair our ability to provide you with proper service and to process your orders.

    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.

    Section B: Personally Identifiable Information

    You always have the option to provide personal information to us on-line.

    Personal information, in general, is information that relates to a natural person. Personal information includes such things as an individual’s name, address and phone number. You may always choose not to contact us by e-mail or to provide any personal information through on-line means. An alternative method for contacting us is by phone using the information in the Contact Us section. Your choice to not participate in these activities on-line will not impair your ability to browse, read or download content provided via the Site.

    In the event we are required to respond to a court order, subpoena, or other legal process, your personal information may be disclosed pursuant to such request without notice to you.

    Please contact us about any personally identifiable information we have collected from you if you have any questions or if you wish to update any of your personal information. 

    If your personal information changes, you may correct, update or remove the personal data you have provided to us by making changes to your profile. 

    Section C: Transaction Information

    If you request any information, buy any products or subscribe to any services offered by us via our Site, we will ask you to provide certain information which includes payment information such as a credit card number and expiration date as well as general contact, billing and shipping information. This information is required to complete the transaction and to deliver the products or services ordered and to collect payment. For your protection, all information collected is stored via encrypted means.

    Section E: Cookies 

    Cookies are small data files transferred to your computer by your web browser. Most interactive websites use cookies to retrieve the user’s details for each visit. Cookies are used by our website to collect demographic information, customize your browsing experience, personalize your experience on our site and other activities. We use the cookies feature only to store a randomly generated identifying tag on your computer or electronic device. You have the option of disabling the cookies on your computer or device, however, by doing so some of the functionalities on the site may be impacted and the Site may not work at its full capacity.

    Section F: Electronic Communication

    When you access our Site or send us e-mails, you are communicating with us electronically thereby consenting to receive communications from us electronically. We will communicate with you by e-mail or by posting via our Site. Please contact us by phone if you do not want us to communicate with you via email.

    Section G: Security of Information

    Aleah’s Boutique is committed to protecting the information you provide us. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of the information, Aleah’s Boutique has in place appropriate procedures to safeguard the information we collect. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information. SSL encryption is designed to make the information unreadable by anyone but us. This security measure is working when you see either the symbol of an unbroken key or closed lock (depending on your browser) on the bottom of your browser window.

    Credit card numbers are used only for processing payment and are not used for other purposes. As part of real-time payment processing, Aleah’s Boutique subscribes to a fraud management service. This service gives you and us an extra level of security to guard against credit card fraud to protect your financial data.

    Section H: Children’s Privacy

    Although our Site is intended for general audiences, Aleah’s Boutique is committed to protecting the privacy needs of children. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 and do not target its websites to children under 13. If we receive any information from persons we believe to be minors, it will be purged from our database. 

    Section I: Links to Other Sites

    These policies only apply to aleah-boutique.com.
