Information We Collect

We collect several types of information to provide and improve our services, process orders, and communicate with you effectively.

Information You Provide Directly

When you place an order, create an account, sign up for our newsletter, or contact us, you may provide personal information including name, email address, phone number, shipping and billing addresses, payment information, and any information you include in messages to us. We collect only the information necessary to fulfill your requests and provide our services.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, certain information is collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies. This includes IP address, browser type and version, operating system, pages visited and time spent on pages, referring website, date and time of visits, and device information. This data helps us understand how visitors use our site and improve user experience.

Payment Information

Payment information is collected and processed by our secure payment processors. We do not store complete credit card numbers on our servers. We maintain only the minimum information necessary for order processing and customer service, such as the last four digits of your card and expiration date for reference purposes.

How We Use Your Information

We use collected information for several legitimate business purposes, always respecting your privacy and adhering to applicable laws.

Order Processing and Fulfillment

We use your information to process and fulfill orders, communicate about order status, handle shipping and delivery, process payments and prevent fraud, and provide customer support. This is essential to our business relationship with you.

Communication

With your consent, we may send you marketing emails about new products, special offers, and company news. You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time. We'll continue to send transactional emails related to your orders and account even if you opt out of marketing. We also use your information to respond to inquiries and customer service requests.

Website Improvement

We analyze website usage data to understand how visitors interact with our site, identify areas for improvement, optimize user experience, and develop new features and services. This data is typically aggregated and anonymized for analysis purposes.

Legal and Safety

We may use information to comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms of service, protect against fraud and abuse, investigate security incidents, and protect the rights, property, and safety of Aura Candy, our customers, and others.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We respect your privacy and do not sell your personal information to third parties. We share information only in limited circumstances necessary to operate our business and serve you effectively.

Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party service providers who assist with payment processing, shipping and delivery, website hosting, email services, analytics, and customer support. These providers have access only to information necessary to perform their specific functions and are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for approved purposes.

Business Transfers

If Aura Candy is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and prominent notice on our website before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect safety, investigate fraud, or respond to government requests.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security practices include SSL encryption for data transmission, secure servers and databases, restricted access to personal information, regular security assessments and updates, PCI-DSS compliance for payment processing, and employee training on data protection.

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but remain committed to implementing and maintaining appropriate safeguards.
