Privacy Policy
At TheLittleZone, your confidentiality is respected, so we fully understand your privacy concerns. What kind of information do we collect? How do we use your information? Finally, how do we ensure the security of your data? These questions and more will be answered under this Privacy Policy. Whether you visit our site to look around, make a purchase, or create an account, you can be sure that privacy is important to us.
Data We Collect
Knowing what data we collect helps define the information we are working with. Generally, we collect two types of data:
Personal Information
This can be any information that can identify you personally. For instance, when you create an account or make a purchase, we may ask for:
-
- Your name
-
- Email address
-
- Shipping and billing address
-
- Payment information
In other words, you provide the data voluntarily while communicating with our website.
Non-Personal Information
This data type is not personal, as it proves who you are, but it assists us with the site’s performance. Things like:
-
- Your IP address
-
- Browser type
-
- The content that is received from the pages you visit on our site
This information is collected automatically and is primarily intended to improve your visit to the site.
How We Collect Your Data
As much as it is imperative to understand the types of data collected, it is also essential to know how the data is collected. There are two main ways:
Data You Provide Voluntarily
This is information that you provided willingly. For example:
-
- When submitting our Contact Us form
-
- Create an account
-
- Subscribe to our newsletter
-
- Purchase a product
These courses of action involve some personal details that we obtain from you.
Automatic Data Collection
We also collect data automatically as you browse through our site. This includes things like:
-
- Cookies (we will discuss this later)
-
- IP addresses
-
- Device details (the type of the device, operating system, etc).
It is not something invasive. It is just information that makes your experience better and more tailored.
How We Use Your Data
Okay, let me take this further and explain what we collect and how. But what does it mean? What are we to do with all that info? Don’t worry; we don’t just deposit it for no reason! Here’s how we put it to work:
-
- Order Processing: The relatively straightforward first involves using your data to settle transactions.
-
- Improving Our Website: This data determines the usage pattern of people using our site.
-
- Personalized Shopping Experience: Information enables us to suggest products you would like.
-
- Customer Support: With your information, we can help you immediately if you have any difficulties.
Sharing Your Data: When and Why
Don’t worry; your data is safe, and we do not sell it to third parties. However, there are certain instances where sharing is necessary to keep our services running smoothly:
-
- Payment Processors: When you arrive at the check-out point, we ask for your payment information, which is then processed by reliable third parties.
-
- Shipping Companies: The address you provide goes to the company that delivers your order.
-
- Legal Obligations: Lastly, we can share your information when legally mandatory, but only under legal requirements.
Cookies & Other Tracking Technologies
Okay, let’s discuss cookies, and no, this has nothing to do with the yummy type. Cookies are small pieces of data that are left on your device when you use a website. They let us track whether it’s you, so the next time you come, your stuff pops up with less delay. Cookies can track things like:
-
- Your preferences (for instance, products you have added to the cart).
-
- Some stored information includes your login details, so signing in is convenient.
-
- What products have you looked at (so that we can suggest similar products)?
If you do not like cookies, you can always turn them off from your browser options, but please remember that some functionality of our Website may be lower without it.
Your Data Protection Rights
You, as the boss of your data, have certain rights when it comes to the matter. Here are a few you should know about:
-
- The right to access: You can obtain copies of your data.
-
- The right to rectification: If any of this is incorrect, simply let us know, and we will update it for you.
-
- The right to erasure: We respect your rights and your privacy, so you may request that we erase some or most of your data, but there are legalities to consider.
-
- The right to restrict processing: You may have the right to oppose the processing of your data and request that it be restricted.
-
- The right to data portability: You can request that we transfer your data to another service.
As a Subject Access Requester, you can exercise any of these rights simply by contacting us through the contact page.
How We Protect Your Data
We understand that the security of your data is essential; we know that losing your information is not an option. That is why we have employed security to ensure that the computers are not tampered with and kept clean at all times. We employ:
-
- Encryption: Your data is always protected, especially if it is confidential, like your payment details.
-
- Secure Socket Layer (SSL): We employ SSL to ensure that any data transferred between our servers and your browser is encrypted.
-
- Regular Audits: Our systems are constantly audited for compliance to meet optimal security standards.
Third-Party Links
At TheLittleZone, you may find links that lead to other websites belonging to the same company. But if you consider a link within this site, remember that their policy will take effect, not ours. Therefore, reading their privacy policies to understand how they will deal with your information is advisable.
Change to Our Privacy Policy
We are constantly changing our website, which could involve changes to our privacy policy. Oh, do not worry—we will inform you of any significant changes, and, of course, you can always refer to this page to download the newest version.
