This Privacy Policy outlines how your Personal Data is collected, used, and shared when you visit www.eclecticsoulexpressions.com (the “Site”) or make a purchase.

WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including data about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and certain cookies installed on your device. As you browse the Site, we also gather data about the individual web pages or products that you view, the websites or search terms that brought you to the Site, and information about your interaction with the Site. We refer to this automatically collected data as “Device Data.”

We collect Device Data using the following technologies:
– “Cookies” are data files placed on your device or computer, often containing an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, please visit: http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
– “Log files” track actions on the Site and collect data including your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, pages referred to the Site, and pages the Site directs you to, along with date and time stamps.

When you make a purchase or attempt to do so on the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment details (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Data.”

When we mention “Personal Data” in this Privacy Policy, we are referring to both Device Data and Order Data.

HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We use the collected Device Data, especially your IP address, for risk and fraud assessment and, more broadly, to enhance and optimize our Site (such as generating insights into how our customers navigate the Site and evaluating the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
