PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.almabrasil.com (the “Site”) and how we comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Protection Act 2018 and EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679. 

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT 

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.” 

We collect Device Information using the following technologies: 

> “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. 

> “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps. 

> “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site. 

Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including debit/credit card numbers, American Express, Apple Pay and PayPal data and other payment methods from time to time), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.” 

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information. 

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION? 

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfil 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. This includes our popular newsletter to existing customers who have signed up to receive it. You can of course cancel this at any time.

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 optimise 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). 

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION 

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use Squarespace to power our online store – you can read more about how Squarespace uses your Personal Information here: www.squarespace.com/privacy.

We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site – you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

DATA RETENTION 

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. 

The length of time we retain your personal information is determined by several factors including the purpose for which we use that information and our obligations under other laws. We determine the period of retention of your personal information based on the following criteria: 

> Retention in case of queries. We will retain your personal information in case of queries from you, [including on behalf of an organisation for whom you work]; 

> Retention in case of claims. We will retain certain of your personal information for the period in which you or a third party might bring claims against us; and

The exceptions to the above are where: 

> You exercise your right to require us to retain your personal information for a period longer than our stated retention period (see further Restriction of processing below); 

> You exercise your right to have the information erased (where it applies) and we do not need to hold it in connection with any of the reasons permitted or required under the law (see further Request for deletion below); 

> We bring or defend a legal claim or other proceedings during the period we retain your personal information, in which case we will retain your personal information until those proceedings have concluded and no further appeals are possible; or 

> In limited cases, existing or future law or a court or regulator requires us to keep your personal information for a longer or shorter period. 

When we no longer need your personal information, we securely delete or destroy it.
