This Privacy Policy describes how Salt & Stone handles personal information when individuals access the website, make purchases, or interact with the brand in any way. By using the website or related services, users acknowledge that they have reviewed and accepted both the applicable Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, along with any relevant third-party privacy frameworks that support the platform. This policy is intended for customers and website visitors and does not apply to information collected in connection with employment or recruitment processes.
To operate efficiently and provide a high-quality experience, various types of personal information may be collected. This includes identifying details such as name, email address, billing and shipping addresses, phone number, account login credentials, and IP address. Information shared through product reviews or direct communication may also be retained. Transaction-related data is collected as well, including purchase history, items viewed, and payment information necessary to complete orders. In addition, technical data such as browser type, device characteristics, and user interactions with the website or advertisements may be gathered automatically. In some situations, professional details like job roles or business contact information may be collected, particularly when working with partners, collaborators, or influencers. Insights may also be developed from collected data to better understand preferences and improve services.
The information collected is used for a range of legitimate business purposes. These include processing and fulfilling orders, delivering products and services, providing customer support, and maintaining communication with users. Personal data may also be used to enhance the website experience, personalize content and advertising, conduct internal analysis, and improve operational performance. Marketing communications may be sent to users who have opted in, and business-related data may be used to manage partnerships and evaluate potential collaborations. Security and fraud prevention are also key purposes for collecting and analyzing certain types of information.
Personal information is stored only for as long as necessary to fulfill its intended purpose, meet legal obligations, and support business operations. The length of retention depends on the type of data and the reason it was collected, after which it may be securely deleted or anonymized.
In certain cases, limited data such as device identifiers or browsing activity may be shared with advertising and analytics partners to support targeted marketing efforts. While some privacy laws categorize this type of data sharing as a sale, no personal information is exchanged for direct financial compensation. Individuals who are entitled to opt out of such practices under applicable laws may exercise their rights according to the procedures outlined by the company.
Personal information may also be disclosed to trusted service providers who assist with essential business functions. These may include payment processors, hosting providers, customer support systems, email services, analytics platforms, security tools, and professional advisors. These parties are granted access only to the information necessary to perform their roles and are expected to handle it responsibly and securely.
There may be circumstances where information is disclosed to comply with legal requirements, respond to lawful requests, or protect the rights and safety of the business and its users. In addition, personal data may be transferred as part of a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or restructuring.
The website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve functionality, analyze performance, and deliver relevant advertising. Third-party partners may also use these tools to better understand user behavior and provide tailored experiences. Users have the option to adjust their browser settings to manage or restrict cookie usage if they choose.
Reasonable measures are implemented to safeguard personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Despite these efforts, no system can be completely secure, and there is always a possibility of unforeseen risks.
The services are not intended for children under the age of thirteen, and personal information is not knowingly collected from individuals in this age group. Additionally, automated decision-making processes are not used in a way that would produce significant legal or personal impacts.
Depending on their location, users may have certain rights regarding their personal data, including the ability to access, update, delete, or request a copy of their information, as well as to opt out of specific uses. Requests are handled in accordance with applicable laws, and individuals will not be treated unfairly for exercising their rights.
