Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Somewhere Blue collects, uses, and protects the personal information you provide when using our website.
At Somewhere Blue, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. Any information you share with us—whether through placing an order or signing up for updates—will be handled responsibly and used only in accordance with this policy.
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review it periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?
When you purchase something from our store, we collect the personal information you give us—such as your name, address, and email address—as part of the buying and selling process.
When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s IP address to help us understand your browser and operating system.
Email marketing: With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new product launches (like new jewelry or photography releases), and other updates.
CONSENT
How do you get my consent?
When you provide personal information to place an order, verify your payment method, or arrange for delivery, you consent to our collecting and using it for those specific purposes.
If we ask for your information for marketing purposes, we will either ask for your explicit consent or offer you the opportunity to decline.
How do I withdraw my consent?
You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at [Your Email] or clicking the “unsubscribe” link in our marketing emails.
DISCLOSURE
We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.
SHOPIFY
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides the e-commerce platform we use to sell our products.
Your data is stored through Shopify’s secure data storage, databases, and applications. Shopify stores your data on a secure server behind a firewall.
Payments:
If you use a direct payment gateway (e.g., credit card) to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your card data encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase. After that, it is deleted.
All direct payment gateways used by Shopify follow the standards set by PCI-DSS, which are managed by the PCI Security Standards Council (including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover).
For more details, please review Shopify’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Third-party providers (such as payment processors and shipping partners) will only collect and use your data as needed to provide their services.
Please refer to their privacy policies for how they handle personal information. Some providers may be based in a different country, meaning your data may be subject to different laws (e.g., U.S. privacy laws if using a U.S.-based service).
External links:
Once you leave our store or are redirected to a third-party website or app, this policy no longer applies.
SECURITY
To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices.
If you enter your credit card information, it is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption.
Although no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards.
