Privacy Policy

Privacy Integrity Statement

At Belove Jewellery (belovejewel.co.uk), we recognize that your privacy is as precious as the pieces we create. This Privacy Policy outlines our rigorous standards for collecting, managing, and safeguarding your personal information when you engage with our digital boutique.

1. Information Governance & Usage

Transactional Data: During the procurement process, we collect essential identifiers you provide, such as your name, residential address, and email coordinates. This is strictly to facilitate the successful completion of your order.
Technical Insights: As you navigate our store, our system automatically captures your device’s Internet Protocol (IP) address. This data assists us in optimizing our interface for your specific browser and operating system.
Communications: With your explicit authorization, we may occasionally share updates regarding our latest collections and exclusive studio news via email.

2. Authorization & Consent Protocols

Implied Consent: When you entrust us with details to finalize a transaction, verify a payment method, or coordinate a delivery/return, we consider your consent as implied for that specific operational purpose only.
Expressed Consent: For secondary objectives, such as marketing, we will either request your direct affirmation or provide a clear opportunity to decline.
Withdrawing Consent: You remain in full control of your data. If you change your mind after opting in, you may revoke your consent for future contact or data processing at any time by reaching out to us at: info@belovejewel.co.uk.

3. Legal Disclosure Boundaries

We maintain the confidentiality of your data as a priority. However, we may disclose personal information if mandated by statutory legal requirements or in instances where our Terms of Service are significantly violated.

4. Digital Infrastructure (Shopify)

Our e-commerce foundation is powered by Shopify Inc., providing a secure platform for our global transactions.

Data Fortification: Your information is housed within Shopify’s secure data ecosystem, protected by advanced firewall protocols.
Payment Security: If you utilize a direct payment gateway, Shopify encrypts your credit card data following the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Transactional data is retained only for the duration required to finalize your purchase, after which it is systematically purged.
Industry Compliance: All our payment partners strictly adhere to PCI-DSS requirements, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council (a collaborative effort by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover).

5. Third-Party Integrations & Global Jurisdictions

Operational Necessity: Our third-party partners only access and utilize your data to the extent required to perform their specialized services (e.g., logistics and payment processing).
External Policies: Certain providers, specifically payment processors, operate under their own independent privacy frameworks. We encourage you to review their policies to understand their data handling practices.
Cross-Border Data Movement: Some service providers may be located in jurisdictions different from your own. Consequently, your data may be subject to the laws of those regions. For instance, if a transaction is processed in the United States, it may be subject to disclosure under local legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Analytics: We utilize Google Analytics to gather high-level insights into our site’s performance and visitor demographics.

6. Advanced Security Measures

To protect your personal assets, we implement industry-leading precautions. Your credit card information is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no digital transmission is infallible, we strictly follow all PCI-DSS requirements and additional recognized industry safety standards.

7. Transparency in Cookie Usage

We utilize Cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Below is a comprehensive list for your review:

_session_id: Unique token; allows Shopify to store session information.
_shopify_visit: Internal stats tracker for 30 minutes from the last visit.
_shopify_uniq: Counts unique customer visits, expiring at midnight the following day.

_secure_session_id: Unique token for secure session management.

PREF: Managed by Google to track site entry points and duration.

8. Verification of Age

By utilizing our services, you confirm that you have reached the age of majority in your province or state of residence, or that you have provided consent for any minor dependents to access this site.

9. Policy Evolution & Mergers

We reserve the right to refine this policy to reflect changes in our practices. Updates take effect immediately upon posting. In the event that Belove Jewellery undergoes a merger or acquisition, your information may be transferred to the new owners to ensure the continuity of our service to you.
