WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE COLLECT AND FOR WHAT PURPOSES?

That includes information on your purchase request, contact information and shipping address (including phone number). The data is processed based on contractual requirements.

Log Data and Cookies: When browsing our website we may collect Log Data and cookies, as further described in this Privacy Policy. The data collected by the use of cookies, except targeting cookies, and the log data are based on our legitimate interests. The targeting cookies are based on your consent.



Log Data  
We may also collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our website ("Log Data"). This Log Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics.

In addition, we may use third party services such as Google Analytics that collect, monitor and analyze this type of information in order to increase our Service's functionality. These third party service providers have their own privacy policies addressing how they use such information.

Cookies  
Cookies are files with a small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and transferred to your device. We use cookies to collect information in order to improve our services for you.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. The Help feature on most browsers provide information on how to accept cookies, disable cookies or to notify you when receiving a new cookie.

If you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some features of our Service and we recommend that you leave them turned on.

Types of Cookies we use

Strictly Necessary Cookies These are essential cookies that let you move around the website and use its features, like accessing secure areas. Without them, services registration and logging in cannot be provided. These cookies don't collect any information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you've been on the internet.

Performance Cookies These collect information about how you use a website, for instance, which pages you go to most often, and if you get error messages. They don't collect information that identifies you; all the information is anonymous. It is used only to improve how the website works.

Functionality Cookies These remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide personal features. They can remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customize. They may also provide services you've asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information they collect can be made anonymous. They can't track other websites or apps you visit.

Targeting Cookies These deliver adverts or messages relevant to you and your interests. Sometimes targeting cookies are linked to other sites, such as Facebook.
Within these four categorizations of cookie, cookies are sorted as either temporary ('Session' cookies) or more long-term ('Persistent' cookies).

Analytics Cookies We use a set of cookies to collect information in order to analyse and report website usage statistics without personally identifying individual visitors with tools such as Google Analytics. This helps us understand how visitors to our website use it and to make recommendations based on browsing history and engagement.

'Session' cookies link your actions in one session only. This 'session' starts when the webpage or app is opened and finishes when it is closed. Then the cookie is deleted forever.

'Persistent' cookies are where the cookie remains on your phone or computer for a specific period of time. They are activated automatically when you visit a particular website or app.

One other difference between types of cookies is if the cookie is a 'first-party cookie' or a 'third-party' cookie. A first-party cookie is set by the Soley Organics website whereas a 'third-party' cookie is set by someone else.

If you'd like to delete cookies or instruct your web browser to delete or refuse cookies, please visit the help pages of your web browser.

Do Not Track Disclosure  
We support Do Not Track ("DNT"). Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked. You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the Preferences or Settings page of your web browser.


ADDITIONAL USE FOR ANALYTICAL PURPOSES 
In addition to the above we may use your personal data based on our legitimate interests to:

  • Collect information about customers' browsing and buying habits for statistical analysis and to continuously improve the Soley Organics website and the products and services offered to our customers.
  • Conduct analytics. We will use the personal information we hold about you (as well as pseudonymized or anonymized information generated from your personal information) to carry out analysis and research. We carry out all such analysis and research in order to understand our customers and ensure that our products meet the needs of our customers.
  • Manage our business endeavors, such as analyzing and managing our businesses, internal management and business planning, market research, review, new product development, to improve our website, to improve service and products, to identify usage, to evaluate the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns, to customize the experience of the website and its contents according to your previous use of the pages, and to measure customer satisfaction and provide customer service (including troubleshooting related to issues encountered by customers).




TRANSFER OF DATA TO THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING SERVICE PROVIDERS

These third parties have access to your personal information only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use your information for any other purpose. We provide the service providers with only the personal information necessary for them for the above purposes and we conclude an agreement under which they are obliged to keep your information safe and use them for the above purposes only. For example, our Courier Service has selected access to your details for delivery purposes only.

In addition, we will disclose your personal information where required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to comply with the law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement or to protect the security or integrity of our Service.

YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING OUR PROCESSING

In certain instances you may also have the right to have your personal information erased, or to have us restrict the processing. You also have the right to have your personal information rectified, if the data is wrong or inaccurate. It is therefore important that you keep us informed of changes of your personal information, as applicable.
