Personal Information Collected
VintageHairstyling.com may use ‘cookies’ to enhance your User experience. Certain information about your device is automatically collected upon visiting the Site. This includes information about the User’s web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you interact with the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view and what websites or search terms referred you to the Site.
We collect this Device Information using:
“Cookies” – data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. Users 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.
“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.
How is your Personal Information Used?
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.
We may collect personal information from Users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit the Site, register on the Site, subscribe to the newsletter, and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available on the Site. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, email address. Users may, however, visit the Site anonymously. We will collect personal identification information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. Users can always refuse to supply personal identification information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Site related activities.
Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain “Order Information” from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information, email address, and phone number.
We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with receipts and/or order confirmations).
This Order Information is also used to communicate with you about your order status, screen orders for potential fraud, and, when in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or content relating to our products or website. We will maintain your Order Information for our records to ensure customer service.
We use the Device Information collected to help screen for potential fraud (in particular the IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize the Site (for example, by generating analytics about how customers interact with the Site, and to assess the success of marketing and advertising.)
Sharing Your Personal Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent Users personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal information regarding users with our business partners and trusted affiliates to generate analytics about how customers interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing efforts.
We share your Personal Information with third parties to run certain aspects of the website. For example, we use WooCommerce to power our online store.
We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site. Read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/

As described above, we use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted content or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you.
