WHY WE COLLECT INFORMATION

In this Privacy Notice, “personal information” means any information that can be used to identify you. This can include your name and last name, address, username, email address, photographs, but can also include your IP address, your geolocation, and shopping preferences and interests. We collect personal information because it is necessary to enable us to deliver products and services. For example, if you order a product, we need to have information such as your billing address, product choice, delivery information, and payment processing information. In addition, your personal information helps us communicate to you the latest products, special offers, and information and events about which you might like to hear if you choose to. We also use your personal information to administer competitions, contests and sweepstakes, if you participate in these.

Additionally, we collect your personal information to help us design and deliver the Site operations, and to deliver targeted advertisements to you. We also may correlate your personal information obtained from you with information from other sources, which may help us to develop a more targeted user profile concerning you and/or your demographic information. For example, if you provide us with your personal information, we may cross-check that against information that might be otherwise available through other entities with whom we have business relationships in order to develop a more in-depth demographic profile of you. Similarly, we may process personal information to target specific items of interest to you.

We know that everyone is busy, and nobody likes their email cluttered up. As such we will only send you marketing messages if you choose to receive them from us. If you decide that you no longer want to receive our marketing emails you can opt-out at any time by clicking and selecting ‘Unsubscribe’ or email us at eileensteel123@yahoo.co.uk.

WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We may collect personal information at every point of interaction with you. The following generally describes the type of information we may collect about you.

SHOPPING

When you shop on the Site, we will collect the personal information necessary to process your order, such as your name and last name, e-mail address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card number and/or debit card number) and billing address. You may also choose to provide us with your gender and birth date, as well as other information that you might submit.

If you create an account on the Site, we will collect information about your purchases and payment methods, as well as the shipping addresses that you add to your address book, in order to make future shopping experiences faster and more convenient. We will use this information to process your transaction and dispatch your order. Any data that is necessary to process your order constitutes transactional data, and if you refuse to provide it we will not be able to process your order.

When you shop at Bobbleiscious Accessories store, your payment information (such as your payment card number and other card information) is collected to process the purchase. Also, in some of the high-risk stores Bobbleiscious Accessories uses video cameras to deter shoplifting, and, therefore, while you are on certain Bobbleiscious Accessories premises your image may be captured.

GENERAL BROWSING

We do not automatically collect your home address, email address, telephone number, and product preferences unless you voluntarily input this information, such as during a registration or ordering process, or when you submit questions or comments, request information, or participate in online surveys, contests, promotions or other activities.

Even if you do not submit personal information through the Site, we gather navigational information about where visitors go on the Site and information about the technical efficiencies of the Site and services (i.e., time to connect to the website, time to download pages, etc.). This information allows us to see which areas of the Site are most visited and helps us better understand the user experience. This helps us improve quality by recognising and delivering more of the features, areas, and services our visitors prefer. In this process of gathering information, we may collect for example, domain type, browser type and version, service provider and IP address, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and click-stream data). We may also create and use electronic records to compile statistics about how our visitors collectively interact with the Site.

MARKETING

Only when you consent, we use your personal information to send you marketing materials and to conduct surveys. Personal information processed for marketing purposes includes your name and last name, home address, email, and contact phone number. We may request additional information from you where you participate in surveys such as personal opinions, preferences, interests, and information about your family members. We provide marketing communications via email, postal mail, online advertising, push notifications, social media, app messaging, and other means.

COMPETITIONS

Where you choose to enter one of our competitions, contests or sweepstakes, we will collect and use your name and contact information, along with your competition entry. Depending on the competition that you enter, your competition entry might consist of photos, videos, social media posts, personal opinions, or your preferences and interests. We process this personal information as necessary to fulfil the terms and conditions of the competition (for example, to enable us to process entries, select winners, communicate with entrants/winners about the competition, and arrange delivery of prizes).

CUSTOMER SERVICE CALLS

Certain customer experience and/or transactions may involve you calling us. To handle your requests and provide high-level customer service we need to collect your personal information such as your name and last name, phone number, and transaction details. We may also record our phone conversation for training and quality assurance purposes.

MOBILE APPLICATIONS

Bobbleiscious Accessories makes available mobile applications for download on various mobile devices. When downloading these applications, you may be asked for certain personal information such as name and last name, email address, and phone number. If you are using one of our mobile apps, we may also collect information about the way you use our app.

SOCIAL MEDIA

The Site may permit you to interact with a third-party site or service, such as enabling you to “like” Bobbleiscious Accessories on another site or “share” content from the Site with other sites (a “Social Networking Service”). If you choose to “like” or “share” content or to otherwise post information from or via the Site to a Social Networking Service, that information may be publicly displayed, and the third party may have access to certain information about you and your use of the Site. Similarly, if you interact with us through a Social Networking Service, we may have access to information about you (for example, if you “like” or “follow” our page on a third-party site). Please note that if you mention or comment on Bobbleiscious Accessories or the Site in your post to a third-party platform, the third-party platform may allow us to publish your post on the Site.

You may also choose to use a social media tool offered by a third party, but available on the Site (such as posting a review or logging into the Site with your username and password for another site, such as the “Facebook Connect” feature). Use of such a feature may allow us to collect (or the third party to share) information about you, including your personal information. Information about you, including your name and profile photo, may be shown to other users of the Site if you are logged in through the Site or through a third-party website or service or if you have previously posted content to the Site while logged in. When you choose to use a social media tool available through the Site, you may be opting to link your activity on our Site with that third-party tool or service, which may then collect information about your visits to our Site and, if sharing function is enabled, may publish that activity to your profile with that third party. For example, when you link your Facebook account to the Site using “Facebook Connect”, your likes, product reviews, and “Wish List” additions will be shared on your Facebook account unless you disable that sharing.

If you go to our Facebook page and click on a specific ad (advertised products or services, posted jobs etc.) we will start collecting your personal data using third-party tracking technologies when you are redirected to Bobbleiscious Accessories landing page.

The information we collect is subject to this Privacy Policy. The information collected and stored by the third parties remains subject to the third parties’ privacy practices, including whether the third parties continue to share information with us, the types of information shared, and your choices with regards to what is visible to others on that third-party website and service. The third party may allow you to remove the application or feature, in which case we will no longer collect information about you through the application or feature, but we may retain the information previously collected.

We do not require and will instruct you to abstain from voluntarily providing the information regarding your sexual orientation, race, ethnic origin, political opinions, religious and philosophical beliefs, and trade union membership unless the local employment laws require otherwise.

PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN

We recognize the importance of children's safety and privacy. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age 13 without their parent’s or legal guardian’s consent. Some countries establish the age of 16 as the threshold beyond which parental authorization for a child’s data processing is not required. In the countries where the law imposes stricter requirements and require parental consent for children under 16 years of age for processing of their personal information we rigorously adhere to those requirements.

If you are under the age of 16, please seek the consent of your parent or legal guardian for your personal data to be used by Bobbleiscious Accessories for browsing this Site.
