What We Do with Your Personal Information?
We do not sell your information to third parties, unless it is part of a business transaction or similar event. Self Esteem is dedicated to preserving your privacy rights and considers your privacy crucial. We do not keep credit card information. Every transaction is securely processed through our portal. As you access Self Esteem or any of its related pages or sub-pages, we gather information transmitted to us by your computer, tablet or mobile device. This information includes your computer’s IP address, device identifiers, your operating system, your location, standard internet logs, or any other data accessible through web analytics. We also accumulate service-related information, such as contact details you submitted on our website, which may include your name, email, home address, phone number and other similar data.
The Order Information that we gather is primarily used to complete any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Furthermore, we utilize this Order Information to:
Engage in communication with you;
Examine our orders for potential risk or fraud;
In accordance with your communicated preferences, provide you with information or advertising relevant to our products or services.
We use the Device Information that we gather to assist us in screening for potential risk and fraud (especially, your IP address), and generally to enhance and optimize our Site (for instance, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to evaluate the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
