Privacy Policy
Our Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains how we collect and use personal information to help us serve our customers and website visitors. We work to respect and protect your privacy, so this policy is very important to us (and to you).
For example, Makoshey does NOT give any personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. (We donāt like being spammed either.)
We do collect information for our own sales and marketing purposes via email newsletter subscriptions, web browser ācookiesā, and order fulfilment. And more generally, we collect information about customers and website visitors in order to run our business, complete orders and payments, and more. Details are provided below. Thanks for your interest in Makoshey!
Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from makoshey.com (which we refer to in this policy as the āSiteā).
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 āDevice Informationā.
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- āCookiesā 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 http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
- āLog filesā 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.
- āWeb beaconsā, ātagsā, and āpixelsā 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), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as āOrder Informationā.
When we talk about āPersonal Informationā in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.
How we use your personal information
We use Order Information to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices or order confirmations). We also 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).
Sharing your personal Information
We only share your Personal Information with third parties to help us conduct business, as described above. For example, we use Shopify to power our online store; you can read more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information here: https://www.shopify.com/legal/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: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics by using a browser extension offered by Google: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
We may use additional software services to conduct email and other business functions.
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.
Again, we do not sell or share your data for other companies to use in their own direct marketing.
Behavioral advertising
As described above, we may use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiativeās (āNAIā) educational page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.
You can opt out of targeted advertising by using the links below:
