Privacy Policy

PRIVACY POLICY

At Uptown Meadow Studio, we commit to providing you with excellent service. To assist us in doing so, we gather information about our customers, users of our websites and other services, and visitors. Your privacy is important to us. We respect the confidentiality of personal information. We do not sell or rent your personal information.

This privacy policy discloses the privacy practices for Uptown Meadow.  This privacy policy applies solely to the information collected by this website.  It will notify you of the following:

• What personally identifiable information is collected from you through the website, how it is used and with whom it may be shared.
• What choices are available to you regarding the use of your data.
• The security procedures in place to protect the misuse of your information.
• How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.

Information Collection, Use and Sharing

We collect personal information you give us voluntarily or in response to our request when you choose to purchase a product from us. For example, when placing an order, we will ask you to provide information such as your name, address, and e-mail address. We will also ask you for financial information such as your credit card number and a billing address.

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: With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products and other updates.

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. 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 Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. Shopify stores your data on a secure server behind a firewall.

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

This website makes use of cookies that help us analyze how you use the website by monitoring which pages you find useful and which you do not. Most browsers automatically accept cookies and you should be able to accept, delete or reject them if you wish by adjusting the settings on your browser. This may affect your use of this website.

We may include small graphic images called web beacons, also known as "Internet tags" or "clear gifs," in our web pages and email messages. We may use web beacons or similar technologies for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count the number of visitors to our site, to monitor how users navigate the site, and to count how many emails that we sent were actually opened or how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.

An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with our website. It is temporarily downloaded onto your computer from our web server or a third party with whom we work, is active only while you are connected to the site, and is deleted or deactivated thereafter.

Certain features on our website permit interactions between our website and third party social networks. If you choose to use these features, information you post or provide access to may be publicly displayed on our site or by the provider of the third party social network. In addition, we may receive information about you if other users of a third party website give us access to their profiles and you are one of their “connections,” or information about you is otherwise accessible through your “connections’” web pages, profile pages, or similar pages on a social networking or other third party website or interactive service.

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 manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers. Certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. 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.

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.

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

Your Access to and Control Over Information

When you provide us with personal information to place an order, you consent to our collecting your personal information 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.

You may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at anytime. You can do the following at any time by contacting us via the contact form on our website or by emailing us at customerservice@uptownmeadow.com:

• See what data we have about you, if any.
• Change/ correct any data we have about you.
• Have us delete any data we have about you.
• Express any concern you have about the use of your data.

Security

We take precautions to protect your information.  When you submit information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. Whenever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way.  You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the web page. While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline.  Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information.

Updates

Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time and all updates will be posted on this page.
