Who are you and what is this

Hey there, my name is Bianca and I’m just one human being running Bianca’s Design Shop. I like to make beautiful, meaningful & affordable products and I strive to be as inclusive in my work as possible!

Website address is: https://biancadesigns.co.
Email: biancathedesigner@gmail.com

What personal data is collected and why

While you visit my site, here is what is tracked:

  • Products you’ve viewed: we’ll use this to, for example, show you products you’ve recently viewed
  • Location, IP address and browser type: we’ll use this for purposes like estimating taxes and shipping
  • Shipping address: we’ll ask you to enter this so we can, for instance, estimate shipping before you place an order, and send you the order!

When you purchase from me, I’ll ask you to provide information including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, credit card/payment details and optional account information like username and password. I’ll use this information for purposes, such as, to:

  • Send you information about your account and order
  • Respond to your requests, including refunds and complaints
  • Process payments and prevent fraud
  • Set up your account for our store
  • Comply with any legal obligations we have, such as calculating taxes
  • Improve our store offerings
  • Send you marketing messages, if you choose to receive them

If you create an account, I will store your name, address, email and phone number, which will be used to populate the checkout for future orders.

We (Shopify and I) generally store information about you for as long as we need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it, and we are not legally required to continue to keep it. For example, we will store order information for XXX years for tax and accounting purposes. This includes your name, email address and billing and shipping addresses.

We will also store comments or reviews, if you choose to leave them.

We’ll also use cookies to keep track of cart contents while you’re browsing our site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Newsletter forms

Subscribing to my email newsletters is optional. Your name and email address would be collected through our newsletter form or if you check the subscribe to newsletter box on checkout.

When subscribed you may be sent occasional emails about news, product updates, giveaways or any other important shop information. You can choose to opt-out at any time.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

Who I share your data with

Literally no one. I respect everyone's right to privacy.

Although Shopify (the e-commerce service my website is run on) may share information with third parties who help us provide our orders and store services to you; for example Paypal, Stripe, Square and Shipstation.

Payments

We accept payments through Shopify Payments, Amazon Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Stripe and Square. When processing payments, some of your data will be passed to these payment gateways, including information required to process or support the payment, such as the purchase total and billing information.

Please see the PayPal Privacy Policy, Stripe Privacy Policy or Square Privacy Policy for more details.

Shipping

Information shared with a shipping provider includes city and zip code, to calculate shipping rates. Please see the Shipstation Privacy Policy for more details.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where I send your data

Nowhere, your information is safe with me!

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
