Last Modified July 20, 2023

Scope of this Privacy Policy Statement
This privacy policy statement applies to Personal Information (as defined in this privacy policy statement), collected by All About Alchemy at our stores or on our websites, mobile applications, cloud-based services, or controlled widgets embedded in communication platforms with a link to this privacy policy statement (collectively, the “Site”). It covers how we collect, use, share, and otherwise process such Personal Information as of the date that this Privacy Statement is posted or modified. It does not apply to any other information collected by All About Alchemy through any other means. By “Personal Information,” we mean information that identifies or can identify you personally.

The Site contains links to third-party websites, including websites of our business partners. We do not own, operate or control the websites of those third parties. This Privacy Statement does not apply to any websites maintained or operated by third parties for the collection, use, storage, disclosure, or other processing of your Personal Information. When you click on those links, you will go to a third-party website where you will be subject to that website’s privacy statement and we encourage you to read that policy statement.

By using the Site or providing your Personal Information to us, you consent to the collection, use, sharing, and other processing of your Personal Information as disclosed in this privacy policy statement.

Summary of Key Considerations
Collection – We collect Personal Information that you provide to us or that we obtain while you are using the Site.

If you are located outside of the United States, your Personal Information will be transferred to the United States, a jurisdiction that may not provide an equivalent level of protection as your home or the place from which you access the Site. Transfer of your Personal Information across state and national borders is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a transaction that you request and for the establishment, exercise, and defense of legal claims. To the extent permitted by applicable law, your use of the Site constitutes your consent to the cross-border transfer of your Personal Information and the other activities identified in this privacy policy.

Children – We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children or persons under the age of 21. If a child or person under the age of 21 has provided us with Personal Information, we ask that a parent or guardian contact us at FeelBetter@AllAboutAlchemy.com

8. Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies
We also collect information, some of which might be linked to you personally, through various technologies. In accordance with applicable law, All About Alchemy uses and allows third parties to use essential and non-essential cookies, online tracking tools, web beacons, and similar technologies (collectively, “cookies”) on the Site. We process this information to help the Site function correctly and to better understand the needs of our customers.

Use of Cookies. We advertise in a number of ways, including online through managed social media presences and on other unaffiliated sites and mobile applications. To understand how our advertising campaigns are performing, we may collect certain information via cookies on the Site through our advertising service providers. The information we collect may include IP addresses, the number of page visits, pages viewed via the Site, search engine referrals, browsing activities over time and across other websites following your visit to the Site or applications, and responses to advertisements and promotions on the websites and applications where we advertise.

We also may use certain information to identify new visitors to the Site, recognize returning visitors, advertise on other websites and mobile applications not affiliated with us, analyze the effectiveness of our advertisements, better understand our audience, customers, or other visitors to the Site, and to determine whether you might be interested in new products or services.

Controlling Our Tracking Tools. Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies. How you do so depends on your browser and the type of cookie. Certain browsers can be set to reject all browser cookies. If you configure your browser to block all cookies, you may disrupt certain features of the Site and limit its functionality. You can change your cookie settings at any time. Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Those browser features are not uniform and we are not currently set up to respond to those signals.

Controlling Online Interest-Based Ads. We sometimes work with online advertising vendors to provide you with relevant and useful ads. This may include ads delivered on or through the Site. This may also include ads delivered on other companies’ websites. These ads may be based on information collected by us or third parties.
