I use the Order Information that I collect generally to fulfil any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, I use this Order Information to:

I use the Device Information that I collect to help screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimise the Site (for example, by generating analytics about how my customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of the marketing and advertising campaigns).

When you provide me with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your payment details, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return an order, I imply that you consent to collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.

For our mailing lists, all subscribers are sent an email to confirm their consent before any newsletters are sent.

Third Party Services

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information I’m required to provide to them for your purchase - related transactions. At imogen melissa I use Apple Pay, Stripe and Paypal to process your payments.  I do not have access to your payment details, these details are stored with these providers. Their Privacy policies are located here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210665, https://stripe.com/en-gb/privacy, https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

Remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
