  • In any other way we may describe when you provide the information.
  • For any other purpose with your consent.

We may disclose aggregated information about our users without restriction.

We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide as described in this privacy policy:

  • To our subsidiaries, parent company and affiliates.
  • To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business.
  • To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Scentsicles’ assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by Scentsicles about our Website users is among the assets transferred.

Your California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, California law may provide you with additional rights regarding our use of your personal information. To learn more about your California privacy rights, visit https://www.oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa.

 

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Any credit card information provided to us for payment transactions is only stored for 48 hours or less and then is purged from our system.

 

Just want to make sure this actually happens in Shopify.  But also, can we update this to allow for a potential future “subscription” business where we send quarterly shipments?  In that case, we’d need to keep the credit card in the system, but not have it readable/accessible by personnel.

 

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

 

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting our Website and this privacy policy to check for any changes.
