PRIVACY POLICY

Your privacy is very important to me. I do not share any personal, demographic, or financial data with any third party. I’m the sole owner of the information collected on this site. I only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give through your order, via email, or the direct contact form. I will not sell or rent this information to anyone. By using the Antje Pfahl website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement. This privacy policy describes how your personal information is collected, used and shared when you visit or make a purchase from antjepfahl.com (the “site”).

Collection of your Personal Information

When you visit the site, I 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 I 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”. This information is used for the operation of the site service, to maintain the quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding the use of the site.

The site collects 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. Cookies help the site to personalize your online experience. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Antje Pfahl website and subpages you visit.

  • ”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, it collects certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, and payment information (including credit card numbers, email address, and phone number).  I 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.

Use of your Personal Information

I use the order information that the site collects to fulfill any orders placed through the website (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, I use this order information to inform you of other news, products, or services available from Antje Pfahl.

The device information that is collected helps me to screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and overall to improve and optimize our site (for example, by generating analytics about how customers browse and interact with the site).

Sharing Information with Third Parties

Antje Pfahl does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties.

The site may share data with trusted partners to help perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Antje Pfahl, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

In this case, I use Squarespace to power my website and online store, Stripe and Paypal for order payment processing, and Google Analytics to help me understand how customers use the site.

And I may disclose your personal information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, or other lawful requests for information the site receives, or to otherwise protect and defend the rights or property of Antje Pfahl.

Tracking User Behaviour

As described above, I keep track of the site and subpages the users visit within the website, in order to analyze the performance of the site. This data is used to deliver customized content to customers whose behaviour indicates that they are interested in a particular area.

Your rights 

If you are a European resident, you have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact me through the contact form. 

Additionally, if you are a European resident we note that we are processing your information in order to fulfill contracts we might have with you (for example if you make an order through the site), or otherwise to pursue the legitimate business interests listed above.

If you have any further questions about my privacy practices, kindly contact me through the contact form. 

Data retention

When you place an order through the site, I will maintain your order information for my records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.

Changes

I may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to my practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.
