Busty Beaches - Privacy Policy

Busty Beaches - PRIVACY POLICY

Implementation: 3/31/2022 Busty Beaches cares about your privacy. For this reason, we collect and use personal information only as needed to deliver our products, services, websites and mobile applications, and to communicate with you about the same, or as you have requested (collectively, our “Services”).  

When you purchase something from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, billing and payment information and other data collected that could directly or indirectly identify you.

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system. Email marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products and other updates.

If at any time you have questions about our practices or any of your rights described below, you may reach our Privacy Protection Officer (“PPO”) and our dedicated team that supports this office by contacting us at privacy@BustyBeaches.com (Re: Privacy). This inbox is actively monitored and managed so that we can deliver an experience that you can confidently trust.

What information we collect, how we collect it, and why Much of what you likely consider personal information is collected directly from you when you: 

i. create an account or purchase any of our Services (ex: billing information, including name, address, credit card number, government identification); 

ii. request assistance from our award-winning customer support team (ex: phone number); 

iii. complete contact forms or request newsletters or other information from us (ex: email); or 

iv. participate in contests and surveys, campaigns, or otherwise participate in activities we promote that might require information about you. 

However, we also collect additional information when delivering our Services to you to ensure necessary and optimal performance. These methods of collection may not be as obvious to you, so we thought we’d highlight and explain a bit more about what these might be (as they vary from time to time): 

Cookies and similar technologies 

On our websites and mobile applications allow us to track your browsing behavior, such as links clicked, pages viewed, and items purchased. Specifically, the data collected relates to your interactions with our site features or third-party features, such as social media plugins, contained within the Services; Internet Protocol (IP) address (for example, to determine your language preference; browser type and settings; the date and time the Services were used; device type and settings; operating system used; application IDs, unique device identifiers; and error data). These technologies also automatically collect data to measure website performance and improve our systems, including metadata, log files, page load time, server response time to optimize DNS resolution, network routing and server configurations. For additional information, and to learn how to manage the technologies we utilize, please visit GoDaddy’s Use of Cookies Policy 

Consent 

Granted when you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only. 

If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no. 

By using this site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use this site. How do I withdraw my consent? If after you opt-in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at any time, by contacting us at shop@bustybeaches.com (Re: Consent) or mailing us at: Busty Beaches 1400 112th Ave SE, Suite 100 Bellevue, WA 98004 

Disclosure 

We may disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law or if you violate our Terms of Service (ToS).

Secure Payment Our store is hosted on GoDaddy They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored through PayPal’s data storage, databases and the general PayPal application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall. 

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then PayPal stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Learn more about how PayPal secures your transactions here PayPal Purchase Protection for Buyers .

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed. If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with an AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards. 

How we utilize information 

We strongly believe in both minimizing the data we collect and limiting its use and purpose to only that (1) for which we have been given permission, (2) as necessary to deliver the Services you purchase or interact with, or (3) as we might be required or permitted for legal compliance or other lawful purposes: 

Delivering, improving, updating and enhancing our Services 

We collect various information relating to your purchase, use and/or interactions with our Services. We utilize this information to:

• Improve and optimize the operation and performance of our Services (again, including our websites and mobile applications). 

• Diagnose problems with and identify any security and compliance risks, errors, or needed enhancements to the Services. 

• Detect and prevent fraud and abuse of our Services and systems. 

Much of the data collected is aggregated or statistical data about how individuals use our Services and is not linked to any personal information. 

Sharing with trusted third parties 

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. 

• However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. 

• For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the way your personal information will be handled by these providers. 

• Remember that certain providers’ locations may be in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So, if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. 

• As an example, if you reside in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act. 

• Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service. 

• When you click on links on our store, they may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements. 

Advertisements 

We want to serve you ads that are most relevant and useful to you, so we may use the personal information you provided us in Account Settings or those collected through cookie technologies to personalize ads and improve your overall experience with us on our site and other sites. We call this ad personalization (formerly, interest-based advertising) because the ads you see are based on previously collected or historical data to determine which ad will be most relevant to you, including data such as previous search queries, activity, visits to sites or apps, demographic information, or location. The information we share with our advertising channel partners to deliver you personalized ads is done securely and cannot be used by them for any other purpose. We do not sell your data to any third parties. In addition, the data we share is hashed and encrypted, which means that it does not directly identify you. We do not sell your data in any way to our partners or other third parties.

Compliance with legal, regulatory and law enforcement requests 

We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We may disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (such as subpoena requests), to protect our property and rights or the property and rights of a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we consider to be illegal or unethical. To the extent we are legally permitted to do so, we may take reasonable steps to notify you if we are required to provide your personal information to third parties as part of legal process.

How we secure, store and retain your data 

We follow generally accepted standards to store and protect the personal information we collect, both during transmission and once received and stored, including utilization of encryption where appropriate. We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide the Services you have requested and thereafter for a variety of legitimate legal or business purposes. These might include retention periods: 

• mandated by law, contract or similar obligations applicable to our business operations; 

• for preserving, resolving, defending or enforcing our legal/contractual rights; or 

• needed to maintain adequate and accurate business and financial records; 

• we reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time, so please review it frequently. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on the website. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated, so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it. 

If our store is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so that we may continue to sell products to you. 

If you have any questions about the security or retention of your personal information, you can contact us at privacy@bustybeaches.com. 

How you can access, update or delete your data 

To easily access, view, update, delete or port your personal information, or to update your subscription preferences, please sign into your Account and visit “Account Settings.”  

If you make a request to delete your personal information and that data is necessary for the products or services you have purchased, the request will be honored only to the extent it is no longer necessary for any Services purchased or required for our legitimate business purposes or legal or contractual record keeping requirements.
