This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share your personal information when you visit or make a purchase from www.barquegifts.com (the "Site"), shop in our store, or join our mailing list, text list, or rewards program.

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

– “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

– “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
– “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information, email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as "Order Information." Payment details are collected and processed by our payment providers, as described below. When we talk about "Personal Information" in this Privacy Policy, we mean Device Information, Order Information, and the other information described in this policy, such as your rewards, mailing list, text message, review, and gift registry information.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

As a company, the protection of your information is important to us. We have designed and adopted technological and organizational procedures to safeguard your data. It is important to note that while we make efforts to protect your data, security measures are not impenetrable. As a result, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information collected or transmitted to our Site. By using our Site, you consent to the transmission of your data at your own risk.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
Communicate with you;
Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).  We also use your email address for occasional updates, if you subscribe to our mailing list.

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Our online store is hosted on Shopify, which stores and processes your information to power the Site. You can read Shopify's privacy policy at https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out of Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

PAYMENTS
Card payments are processed by Shopify Payments. We do not receive or store your full credit card number. If you check out using Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal, your payment details are handled by that provider under its own privacy policy:

Recurring subscription payments are managed through PayWhirl, subject to its privacy policy at https://paywhirl.com/privacy

If we send you a payment link by text message, your payment is processed through Kenect and CardPointe, a payment platform operated by CardConnect, a Fiserv company. You can read CardConnect's privacy policy at https://cardconnect.com/privacy-policy

OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS
We use Marsello to send our marketing emails and text messages and to run our rewards program. Marsello stores your contact information, purchase history, and rewards activity on our behalf. You can read Marsello's privacy policy at https://www.marsello.com/privacy

We also share information with service providers who help us run our store, including:

  • Shipping: Descartes XPS and the shipping carriers that deliver your order (such as USPS, UPS, or FedEx) receive your name, shipping address, and phone number.

  • Gift registries: If you create or shop from a gift registry, your registry information is shared with MyRegistry.com, which operates its own website and may use your information for its own purposes, including marketing, under its privacy policy at https://www.myregistry.com/Info/Privacy.aspx
  • Reviews and social content: Reviews you submit, including your name and any photos, are collected through Covet and may appear on the Site.
  • Fraud prevention and security: We use security tools that review information such as IP address and location to block fraudulent orders and unauthorized access.
  • Store operations: We use other apps for reporting, inventory, product options, and site features. These process information only to provide their services to us.

We may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

 

ADVERTISING
We use advertising tools from Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and Google, including tracking pixels and server-to-server connections, to measure our ads and to show ads for our products to people who have visited the Site. These tools may receive information such as pages you viewed, products you added to your cart, purchases you made, and a scrambled (hashed) version of your email address or phone number, which allows Meta and Google to match your activity to their users.  We do not sell your personal information for money.

You can limit how your information is used for advertising:

BROWSER PRIVACY SIGNALS
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of targeted advertising for that browser. We do not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals, as there is no common standard for them.

EMAIL AND TEXT MESSAGES
If you sign up for our emails or texts, online or in our store, we use your email address or mobile number to send you news, offers, and rewards updates. We may also text you about an order, payment, or question you have started with us. You can unsubscribe from emails using the link in any email. For texts, reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. Signing up for texts is not a condition of any purchase. We do not sell or share your mobile number or text opt-in information with third parties for their own marketing.

GIFTS AND REGISTRIES
When you send a gift or buy from a registry, you give us the recipient's name and address, and any gift message you write. We use this information only to deliver the gift. If you create a registry, the people you share it with can see the registry details you choose to make visible.

REWARDS PROGRAM
If you join our rewards program, we collect your name, email address, phone number, birthday, and your purchases online and in our store so we can track your points and send you rewards. You can ask us to close your rewards account and delete this information at any time by emailing hello@barquegifts.com. It is your sole responsibility to protect any password and user name associated with your rewards account.

YOUR CHOICES AND RIGHTS
You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop using it for marketing or targeted advertising. To make a request, email hello@barquegifts.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request. If we decline your request, you may reply to ask us to reconsider. You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time using the link in any email.

Your information may be stored and processed in the United States, Canada, and New Zealand by our service providers.

DATA RETENTION
We keep order information for as long as needed to fulfill your order, handle returns, and meet our tax and accounting obligations, generally 7 years. We keep mailing list information until you unsubscribe. We delete or anonymize information when we no longer need it.  We keep rewards program information until you close your rewards account. We keep your mobile number for texts until you reply STOP, along with records of your consent and opt-out.

SECURITY

We use reasonable safeguards, including the security tools provided by our service providers, to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

CHILDREN
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Please contact us if you learn or have reason to suspect that a child under the age of thirteen is using the Site. We will take prompt action to delete any personal information about the child.
