HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?


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 and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:


- Communicate with you;
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
- When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, 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).

When you make a purchase via our platform you do not automatically receive marketing emails from us. If you wish to receive follow emails regarding offers and product updates you must check a box to receive these merchandising newsletter emails. You may opt out from these newsletters at any time.

When you sign up for our newsletters we are able to send you notifications of new product launches, special discount coupons, personal appearances by your favorite celebrities, and other information of special interest.

Shopify also uses customer data to warn us of possible fraudulent orders, using various criteria in its evaluation system. Reducing fraud keeps our costs down and helps keep our prices down for our valued customers. We also use Kissmetrics as a third party which analyzes customer purchases and activity on our site to help us provide the best shopping experience possible.
