  • When you subscribe to email communications.
  • When you contact customer support.
  • When you submit information through forms on our website.

We do not use personal information for purposes materially different from those described in this policy without providing appropriate notice where required.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential website functions and understand how visitors interact with the site.

Depending on the technologies enabled on our website, cookies may be used to:

  • Maintain shopping cart functionality.
  • Remember website preferences.
  • Support checkout and account features.
  • Maintain website security.
  • Measure website traffic and performance.
  • Understand how visitors navigate the website.
  • Support analytics or marketing functions where applicable.

Some cookies are necessary for website functionality, while others may be optional.

Your browser may allow you to block, delete, or otherwise manage cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website features.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide appropriate choices regarding non-essential cookies.

Sharing Information With Third Parties

We may share personal information with third parties when reasonably necessary to operate our business and provide our services.

These parties may include:

  • Payment processors.
  • Shipping and delivery providers.
  • Website hosting and technical service providers.
  • Analytics providers where applicable.
  • Customer support providers.
  • Professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers where necessary.
  • Government authorities or other parties when disclosure is required by applicable law.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, investigate suspected fraud, enforce applicable terms, or respond to a valid legal request.

Service providers may receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform the services they provide on our behalf, subject to their own applicable obligations and agreements.

Payment Processing

Payments made through our website may be processed by third-party payment service providers.

Payment processors may collect and process information required to authorize and complete a transaction. Their handling of payment information is governed by their own privacy policies and security practices.

Barbaratee may receive transaction-related information, such as payment status, transaction identifiers, and information necessary to manage an order.

We do not claim to directly store complete payment card details when those details are processed directly by an independent payment provider.

Marketing Communications

If you choose to receive promotional emails from Barbaratee, we may use your contact information to send information about products, store updates, or other relevant offers.

You may unsubscribe from promotional email communications by using the unsubscribe option provided in the applicable email or by contacting us.

Opting out of marketing communications does not prevent us from sending transactional or service-related communications when necessary, such as order confirmations, shipping updates, or responses to customer service requests.

Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, loss, or disclosure.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or data storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. For this reason, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted or stored electronically.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including fulfilling orders, providing customer support, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, preventing fraud, and meeting applicable legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the reason it was collected, and applicable legal requirements.

When information is no longer reasonably required, it may be deleted, anonymized, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable requirements.

Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are not directed toward children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected in circumstances requiring deletion, we will take appropriate steps to address the information.

Parents or legal guardians who believe that a child has provided personal information to us may contact us using the information below.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, where those laws apply to Barbaratee and the particular processing activity.

  • The right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising applicable privacy rights.

The applicability of individual CCPA/CPRA requirements depends on factors established by California law.

California residents may submit applicable privacy requests by contacting [email protected].

We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and process the request.

International Data Transfers

Although Barbaratee currently ships within the United States, some service providers supporting our website or business operations may process or store information in different locations.

Where personal information is transferred across jurisdictions, the information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is processed.

Where required by applicable law, appropriate measures will be used in connection with international transfers of personal information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices, website functionality, services, or applicable requirements.
