Information

When you purchase candles from our on-line store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name, address and email address. 

When you browse our on-line store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system. 
 
Email marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our on-line store, new products and other updates. 

Consent

When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only. 

If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

When we ask you for your personal information as part of a  transaction we will use the PECR soft opt-in to presume consent to marketing communications, but we will also provide you with the opportunity to opt-out.

If after you opt-in or we have presumed consent under the PECR soft opt-in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at  anytime, by contacting us at  info@buickhousecandles.com

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 we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the  manner in which  your personal information will be handled by these providers.

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.
