PRIVACY POLICY
SECURE ONLINE ORDERING
At STATE Of EMBRACE, we value our customers and want to make shopping online comfortable and safe. We take precautions to safeguard your financial information. Your credit card numbers are protected while in transit using the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption*. Moreover, your credit card information is encrypted when it is stored on our network, protecting it from theft or internal compromise. * SSL encryption ensures that your information is protected and cannot be read by others as it travels over the Internet. The secure mode begins when you begin the checkout process. Your web browser will indicate when you're on a secure page. You also can verify that your information is encrypted by looking at the URL line of your browser. When visiting a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from http to https. Furthermore, we will never see or hold your credit card details on our system; these details are held and processed by an accredited secure third party service so you can be assured that your card details are never held by us. We use Braintree Payments as our secure third party for payment processing.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT WHEN PLACING AN ORDER
We ask you for information such as your name, email address, shipping address, billing address and payment information so we can process your order. If necessary, we might use this information to contact you during the processing of your order. We also use your information to personalise your shopping experience (such as a personal greeting, making automated marketing decisions on how to best serve you information, re-targeting ads through linked social channels etc). At any time, you may contact us to request the information that we have stored - we will happily provide this information to you, but may ask for you to verify your identity.
Please note: we are unable to serve you as a customer if you are not willing to provide as a minimum, the details outlined above.
