This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Emily O'Brien collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a “User”) of the emilyobrienlifestyle.com website (“Site”). This privacy policy applies to the Site and all products and services offered by Emily O'Brien

1. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain “non-personal” 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.”

“Personal Information” is collected in a variety of ways, including - but not limited to - when Users visit our site, register on the site, place an order, subscribe to the newsletter, respond to a survey, fill out a form, and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available on our Site. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, name, email address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information. We will collect personal identification information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. Users can always refuse to supply personally identification information, however, that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Site related activities. Users can request that we delete identification information at any time. Please see more below.

2. HOW WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

  • This Site may use “cookies” to enhance User experience and assist in serving targeted online ads. “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. User’s web browser places cookies on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them. The User may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If they do so, note that some parts of the Site may not function properly. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://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 credit card numbers, PayPal information, eCheck, and others), email address, and phone number.  We refer to this information as “Order Information.” When you place an order through the Site, we will maintain your Order Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.

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

  • Provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services, when in line with the preferences you have shared with us.

Information will be used to design promotions that are relevant to Users. Users may opt out of this tracking at any time.
  • Send periodic emails. We may use the email address to send User information and updates pertaining to their order. It may also be used to respond to their inquiries, questions, and/or other requests. If User decides to opt-in to our mailing list, they will receive emails that may include company news, updates, related product or service information, etc. If at any time the User would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.

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).
