PRIVACY

Love Macrame Istanbul is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. As always, our customers are our top priority. This privacy policy sets out how Love Macrame Istanbul uses and protects any information that you give us when you use this website. Love Macrame Istanbul may change this policy from time to time by updating this page. We want to inform you of all your rights relating to your information.

 

What information do we collect?

Things we collect include:

  • Name
  • Contact Details
  • Date of Birth
  • Gender Information
  • Payment Information
  • When you contact us
  • IP Address
  • Purchase History
  • Wishlist
  • Device Type
  • Operating System
  • Location Data
  • Your response to promotions

We may also obtain data surrounding how you use the website to help us develop and improve the site.

 

What do we do with the information we gather?

That might seem like a lot but the reason behind our data collection is to ensure that we give you the best service we possibly can. This information allows us to get your order out to you, let you know when it is coming and prevent fraud.

We also use the above data to give you what you want, let you see our fab new products and if there are any hot promotions on at the moment. We only want to provide the best user experience for our customers.

We may occasionally send out emails concerning new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided. You can stop these at any time by:

Contacting us directly by emailing our Customer Service team on mail@lovemacrame.com

By clicking ‘unsubscribe’ in any of the marketing messages you receive, this can typically be found at the bottom of email

Please allow up to 3 days for this to take effect.

 

Remarketing

One of the tools we use to keep you as up to date as possible with the low down at Love Macrame is targeted adverts.

You will see these adverts across other websites and apps outside of the Love Macrame realm. They will include products and services that we think you will be interested in, based on what you have viewed or bought on our website. We obtain this information via web beacons, pixels, tags, cookies or by services that are offered by websites and social media networks.

 

How do you get my consent?

When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.

If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

If after you opt-in, you change your mind, you can withdraw your consent for us to contact you - for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information; or to fully delete you from our records at anytime, by contacting us at mail@lovemacrame.com

We got your back.

 

Shopify

We host our store on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. All your data is stored through Shopify's data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. All data is stored behind a firewall on a secure server.

 

Payment

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover.

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

For more insight, you may also want to read Shopify’s Terms of Service (https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms) or Privacy Statement (https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy).

 

Third Party Services

Love Macrame will not disclose any of your information to any third parties except in a situation where it is part of providing a service to you. This includes arranging for a product to be sent to you, carrying out security checks and for the purposes of customer research or when you have given us permission to do so.

In general, the 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 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 these providers.

Please do remember that certain providers may be in or have facilities that are located 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 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. Please see below for a list of Third Party Services we use and a direct link to their privacy policy page.
