Notice at Collection (Summary)

We collect personal information from and about visitors and customers for purposes including operating and securing the Site, processing and fulfilling orders, processing payments, providing shipping and customer support, preventing fraud and abuse, providing requested website functionality, improving our Services, and, where you choose to allow it, conducting analytics or marketing measurement.

Some technologies are necessary to operate, secure, or provide requested functionality on the Site and may operate without optional cookie consent.

Optional Analytics and Marketing technologies are not enabled unless you allow the applicable category through our consent controls.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including legal, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, security, dispute-resolution, and business-record requirements.

Personal information we collect

Information You Provide to Us

Depending on how you use the Services, you may provide us with:

  • Name and contact information, such as your email address and telephone number.
  • Shipping and billing addresses and delivery information.
  • Account information if you create an account.
  • Order and transaction information, including items purchased, cart contents, order history, returns, and exchanges.
  • Information you submit when contacting customer support or otherwise communicating with us.
  • Information you provide when subscribing to email communications or completing other forms on the Site.

Information Collected Automatically

When you use the Site, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including:

  • IP address and network information.
  • Browser and device type.
  • Operating system.
  • Language and time-zone information.
  • Technical request and security information.
  • Session and shopping-cart information.
  • Referring pages and Site pages requested.
  • Cookies and similar browser technologies.

Where you choose to enable optional Analytics or Marketing technologies, additional information about Site interactions may be processed as described below.

Information Processed Through Requested Features

Certain functions require information to be processed by service providers in order to provide the feature you request.

For example, when you use address-entry or address-suggestion functionality, portions of the address information you enter may be transmitted to an address-validation provider so that address suggestions or standardized address information can be returned.

Payment providers may process payment, billing, device, transaction, and fraud-prevention information necessary to authorize and complete transactions.

Security providers may process technical information necessary to detect automated activity, fraud, abuse, or other security threats.

How we use personal information

We may use personal information to:

  • Operate and maintain the Site.
  • Provide products and Services you request.
  • Process and fulfill purchases.
  • Process payments and prevent payment fraud.
  • Arrange shipping and delivery.
  • Process returns and exchanges.
  • Maintain customer accounts.
  • Respond to customer-service inquiries.
  • Send order confirmations, shipping notices, and other transactional communications.
  • Secure the Site and protect customers, accounts, transactions, and systems.
  • Prevent fraud, spam, automated abuse, and malicious activity.
  • Provide address validation and other functionality requested by customers.
  • Maintain and improve the performance and usability of the Site.
  • Conduct Site analytics where the applicable optional category has been enabled.
  • Conduct marketing or advertising measurement where the applicable optional category has been enabled.
  • Comply with applicable law and enforce our agreements.

How we disclose personal information

We may disclose personal information to service providers that perform services on our behalf or help us operate the Site.

These providers may include:

  • Hosting and content-delivery providers.
  • Website infrastructure and security providers.
  • Payment processors and fraud-prevention providers.
  • Shipping and fulfillment providers.
  • Address-validation providers.
  • Transactional email and communications providers.
  • Analytics providers where analytics has been enabled.
  • Marketing or advertising providers where the applicable optional technology has been enabled.
  • Other vendors that provide operational services necessary to support our business.

When a service provider is used to perform a function requested by you, that provider may receive information reasonably necessary to provide that function.

For example, payment providers receive information necessary to complete transactions, and an address-validation provider may receive address information that you enter when address-assistance functionality is used.

We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with law or legal process, respond to lawful governmental requests, investigate fraud or security incidents, enforce our agreements, protect rights or safety, or complete a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies, which may include browser storage, tags, scripts, pixels, and related technologies.

Our cookie-preference system organizes technologies into the following categories.

Essential

Essential technologies support functions necessary to operate or secure the Site or provide Services requested by you.

These may include technologies used for:

  • Website sessions.
  • Shopping carts.
  • Checkout.
  • Security.
  • Fraud and abuse prevention.
  • Authentication.
  • Consent preferences.
  • Caching and website performance.
  • Maintaining customer-specific Site information.

Essential technologies may operate without optional Analytics or Marketing consent.

Magento-related examples may include cookies such as:

PHPSESSID
form_key
mage-cache-sessid
private_content_version
section_data_ids

We may also use technologies such as Google reCAPTCHA to help protect forms, accounts, checkout, and other Site functions from spam, automated abuse, fraud, and malicious activity. Security technologies may communicate technical information to their providers as necessary to perform these functions.

Analytics

Analytics technologies help us understand how visitors use the Site and help us evaluate Site performance and usability.

If you choose to allow Analytics technologies, providers such as Google Analytics may process information such as:

  • Page views.
  • Site interactions.
  • Referring information.
  • Browser and device information.
  • Online identifiers.
  • Approximate technical or geographic information derived from network data.

Google Analytics may use cookies such as:

_ga
_ga_<measurement-id>

Analytics technologies are treated as optional through our consent controls.

Marketing

Marketing technologies may be used to measure marketing activity, advertising performance, campaign attribution, or similar activities.

Marketing technologies are treated as optional through our consent controls.

If we introduce or change marketing technologies in the future, their use will be reflected in our applicable consent controls and privacy disclosures.

Your Cookie Choices

When available, our cookie-preference tool allows you to choose whether optional Analytics and Marketing technologies may be used.

You may:

  • Accept All
  • Reject All
  • Choose specific optional categories

Essential technologies remain available because they support the operation, security, or functionality of the Site and Services.

You may also use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Blocking essential browser storage may cause portions of the Site, including cart, account, or checkout functionality, to work incorrectly.

If you change your cookie preferences, the new preference applies to subsequent use of optional technologies.

Forms, Checkout, and Customer Communications

Information that you intentionally submit through checkout, account, newsletter, contact, customer-service, or other forms is used to process the request for which you provided the information and for other purposes described in this Policy.

Our policy is not to use optional Analytics or Marketing technologies for the purpose of intentionally capturing the contents of:

  • Password fields.
  • Payment-card fields.
  • Authentication credentials.
  • Customer-service messages.
  • Other private free-text communications.

Operational providers that are necessary to complete a transaction, secure the Site, or provide a function you request may process information necessary to perform that service.

Address Validation

We may use a third-party address-validation service to assist customers when entering shipping or billing addresses.

When you use address-assistance functionality, portions of the address information you enter, together with technical information necessary to perform the request, may be transmitted to the address-validation provider so that suggestions or standardized address information can be returned.

We use this service to facilitate checkout and improve address accuracy, rather than for behavioral advertising.

Payment Processing

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers.

Depending on the payment method you select, payment providers may receive information necessary to process the transaction, prevent fraud, authenticate the payment, and provide related payment functionality.

Payment information may be transmitted directly to the applicable payment provider rather than being stored by Studio Molin.

Email Communications

If you choose to subscribe to promotional email communications, you may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe mechanism contained in an email or by contacting us.

Your decision to subscribe to promotional email communications is separate from your cookie preferences.

Even if you do not receive marketing communications, we may send non-marketing messages necessary to provide Services to you, such as:

  • Order confirmations.
  • Payment notifications.
  • Shipping updates.
  • Account or security notices.
  • Customer-support responses.

 

Do Not Track

Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting.

Because there is no universally accepted technical standard governing how websites should interpret DNT signals, we do not treat DNT as a separate Site consent mechanism.

You may instead use the cookie-preference controls provided on the Site to manage optional Analytics and Marketing technologies.

Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

In determining appropriate retention periods, we may consider:

  • The nature and sensitivity of the information.
  • The purpose for which it was collected.
  • Transaction and business-record requirements.
  • Tax and accounting obligations.
  • Fraud-prevention and security needs.
  • Legal requirements.
  • Dispute-resolution and enforcement needs.

Some information may be retained for longer periods where reasonably necessary or required by law.

Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information can guarantee absolute security.

Children’s privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

Privacy Requests

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information associated with you, or to ask questions about our privacy practices.

To submit a request, email contact@studiomolin.com or use the other contact information provided at the beginning of this Policy.

We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request.

International Visitors

Studio Molin is based in the United States.

Information may be processed or stored in the United States and in other locations where our service providers operate.

Where applicable law requires specific protections for international transfers, we will take appropriate steps to provide those protections.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, technologies, vendors, privacy practices, or legal requirements.

When we update this Policy, we will revise the Last Updated date above and provide additional notice when required by applicable law.
