Our Commitment to Your Privacy at Slowly With The Sun

Welcome to slowlywiththesun.com, your destination for sun-drenched styles and effortless swimwear from Slowly With The Sun. Just as we are dedicated to helping you find the perfect piece for your next adventure, we are equally committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit or make a purchase from our site.

We believe that trust is the foundation of a great relationship, much like the trust you place in a swimsuit that lasts season after season. Our approach to your privacy is simple: we collect only what we need to provide you with an exceptional shopping experience, and we are transparent about how that information is used. This policy applies to all information collected through our website, slowlywiththesun.com, and related services.

Information We Collect

When you interact with our store, we collect information to process your orders, improve your browsing experience, and communicate with you about the products you love. The types of information we collect include:

• Information You Provide to Us: This includes information you enter when creating an account, placing an order, or signing up for our newsletter. It may include your name, billing and shipping addresses, payment information (processed securely through our payment partners), and email address. We need this information to fulfill our contract with you—to process and ship your order, and to provide you with order confirmations and updates.
• Information We Collect Automatically: When you browse our site, we automatically receive information about your device and your interaction with our store. This includes your IP address, browser type, time zone, and information about the pages you viewed or search terms you used. We collect this using cookies, log files, and similar technologies. This helps us understand how our customers browse and interact with the site, allowing us to optimize your experience and ensure everything runs smoothly.
• Information from Third Parties: We may receive information about you from third-party services, such as when you log in using a social media account or interact with our ads on other platforms. This helps us provide you with a more seamless experience and show you content that is relevant to your interests.

How We Use Your Information

Your information allows us to provide you with the best possible service. Specifically, we use it to:

• Fulfill Orders and Provide Service: This is our primary use. We need your information to process payments, arrange for shipping, and communicate with you about your order.
• Improve and Optimize Our Site: By understanding how you use our site, we can make improvements, troubleshoot problems, and ensure the technical functionality of the website.
• Communicate with You: We may use your information to send you updates about our products, promotions, and news, but only if you have opted in to receive such communications. You can opt out at any time.
• Prevent Fraud and Enhance Security: We screen orders for potential risk or fraud to protect you and our business.
• Provide Personalized Advertising: With your consent where required, we share information with our advertising partners to show you ads for products we think you’ll love, both on our site and on other platforms you visit.

Sharing Your Information

Your privacy is paramount. We share your personal information only with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our business and fulfill our contracts with you. These include:

• Shopify: Our online store is hosted by Shopify Inc., which provides us with the e-commerce platform to sell our products. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application.
• Payment Gateways and Shipping Partners: To complete your transactions, we share necessary information with payment processors and shipping carriers.
• Marketing Partners: We may share information with advertising partners like Google and social media platforms to show you targeted advertisements. This helps us introduce our brand to new customers and remind you of items you may have left in your cart.

We will never sell your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes without your explicit consent. We may also disclose your information if required by law to comply with a legal obligation or to protect our rights.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to access, correct, update, or delete the information we hold about you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us through our website.

You can also choose to opt out of targeted advertising through the settings in your browser or via the links provided by our advertising partners, such as the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out portal.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small files downloaded to your device that help us remember your preferences, understand site traffic, and show you relevant content. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but please note that blocking some cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of our site.

Data Retention and Security

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When you place an order through the site, we will maintain your Order Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
