If you sign up for our newsletter, we will ask for your email address, and a few general questions to help us get to know you, such as whether you are a business or whether you are new to Tribucha. We use this information to provide you with information and offers related to our products. We may contact you from time to time using the email you provide, unless you request to opt-out as discussed in the “Access and Control of Your Personal Information” section of this Privacy Policy, or request to unsubscribe by following the instructions for unsubscribing at the bottom of our emails.

When you purchase products from our website, we will collect your name, address, phone number, email address, payment information (e.g., credit card number, card expiration date, and security code), and the name, address, and phone number of any gift recipients. This information is used to process your order. We may also contact you via email or regular mail to provide you with information and offers related to our products, unless you opt-out at checkout or request to opt-out as discussed in the “Access and Control of Your Personal Information” section of this Privacy Policy. You may also unsubscribe from receiving our emails by following the instructions for unsubscribing at the bottom of our emails. Gift recipients may also receive occasional information and offers relating to our products via email or regular mail. We provide gift recipients the option to opt-out from receiving future communications from us by following the instructions in the “How to Opt-Opt” section of this Privacy Policy. Gift recipients may also stop receiving future emails from us by following the instructions for unsubscribing at the bottom of our emails.

If you set up an account on our website, we will ask you to provide a username and password to allow you to reuse some information for future orders, make changes to your information, and to access your order history.

We collect Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from visitors to our website. An IP address is a number that is assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). An IP address may be identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user accesses the website, along with the time of the visit, and the pages that were visited. Collecting IP addresses is a standard practice that is done automatically by many websites. We use IP addresses for purposes such as calculating traffic data, helping diagnose server problems, and administering our website. To protect your privacy, we anonymize a portion of each IP address stored in our server log files and limit the amount of time that each IP address is retained.

Our website uses cookies. A cookie is a small file that is sent to your web browser and stored on your computer. Cookies allow us to collect information such as your browser type, time spent on the website, pages visited, and other anonymous traffic data. We and our service providers may use the information for security purposes, to facilitate navigation, display information more effectively, and to personalize your experience while using our website. We also gather statistical information about the usage of the website to improve its design and functionality. Cookies also allow account holders to save time by auto-populating some information during checkout on return visits. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but they may also allow you to disable the use of cookies. Please note that if you disable cookies, certain aspects of our website may not function properly. The cookies from our website do not track any personally identifiable information about you, and the cookies do not extract any information from your computer.

Pixel tags, also known as web beacons or clear GIFs, may be used in connection with some portions of our website to track the actions of visitors or email recipients for measuring the success of our marketing campaigns and compiling statistics about the usage of our website. We may assign unique identifiers to pixel tags to associate your interaction with our online and email marketing.

We use third-party analytical tools, such as Google Analytics, to help us better understand how visitors use our website on an aggregate and non-personally identifiable basis. The information collected by these analytical tools may provide us with information such as a search engine that referred you to our website, how you navigated around our website, and what you purchased. This information helps us better serve you with more personalized information and product offerings.

We do not track your online activity across other websites or knowingly permit third parties to conduct online tracking while you visit our website, except as described above. As a result, our website does not respond to a browser’s “do not track” signal.

Text marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send text messages about our store, new products, and other updates. Updates include Checkout Reminders. Webhooks will be used to trigger the Checkout Reminders messaging system.
