Introduction
At Caribbean® Clothing, Shirts, Swimwear, Women’s Clothing (caribbeanclothing.shop), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information that we obtain about visitors to our website and customers who purchase our products.
Information We Collect
We collect both personal and non-personal information from you when you visit our website, make a purchase, or engage with us.
Personal Information includes information that can identify you as an individual, such as your name, shipping/billing address, email address, telephone number, and payment information. We collect this information only when you voluntarily provide it to us, such as when creating an account, making a purchase, submitting a warranty claim, or contacting us.
Non-Personal Information includes information that cannot identify you specifically, such as browser information, app usage data, IP addresses, browsing habits, clicks, page views, and general location information. We automatically collect certain non-personal information when you visit our site through cookies and similar tracking technologies. This helps us improve our services.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect for legitimate business purposes including:
- Fulfilling orders – We use personal information to accept and fulfill customer orders, process payments, communicate about orders, and provide related customer service.
- Marketing – With your consent, we use personal information to promote and market our products and services by email, direct mail, telephone, text messages (SMS), and social media. You can opt-out anytime.
- Analytics – We use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to help us measure traffic and usage trends. This allows us to improve our website and shopping experience. The analytics services may use cookies and similar technologies to perform their services. They may also collect non-personal data for these purposes.
- Legal compliance – We may need to use and retain personal information to meet our legal obligations. For example, we may need to retain order history or IP addresses to comply with tax and financial regulations.
- Security – We may use personal and non-personal information for loss prevention, fraud detection, or other security purposes.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We will not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to unaffiliated third parties without your consent. We only disclose information to third parties under the following circumstances:
- To our affiliated companies or trusted third party service providers who help us operate our business, service customer accounts, and provide our products. This includes order fulfillment, payment processing, marketing, analytics, customer service, and loss prevention activities. These parties are required to protect your information and may only use it for the purpose it was provided.
- If required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or court order.
- To investigate potential fraud, violations of our policies, or threats to our property or safety.
- In the event of a merger, asset sale, financing, liquidation or bankruptcy where customer information may be transferred as a business asset. In such cases, we will endeavor to provide advance notice before information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
- With your express consent. For example, to fulfill a warranty request or return you may provide information to the product manufacturer.
Data Retention
We retain personal information as long as it is needed for legitimate business purposes or to meet legal requirements. For example, we keep order history for analysis purposes and to comply with tax audits. We may retain de-identified or aggregated data for longer periods for analytics purposes.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We and our service providers use technologies such as cookies, web beacons, tags, scripts, and similar tools to recognize you and your device(s) when you visit our site or use our app. This enables us to provide relevant content and advertising, analyze trends, administer the site, track users’ movements, help identify you, and gather demographic information.
You can control cookies through your browser or device settings to limit or block cookies. Keep in mind that certain features of our site or app may not work without cookies enabled.
Advertising and Analytics Services Provided by Others
We may allow third parties to use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect or receive non-personal information from our websites and other online services. For example, they may use this data to tailor ads to you, analyze trends, provide analytics, and operate the services.
These third parties may also obtain non-personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our website or service. They may use this information to send targeted advertisements that they believe will be of interest to you.
We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies. If you have any questions about targeted advertising, you should contact the responsible provider directly.
Online Advertising Opt-Outs
You can opt out of targeted advertising delivered by Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) members at nai.com/choices. Opting out means that the member should no longer deliver targeted content or ads to you. Keep in mind you may still receive generic ads and this does not prevent tracking for other purposes like analytics or research.
Social Media Features
Our website includes social sharing features like social media buttons (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). These features may collect information such as your IP address or which page you are visiting and set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our website. Your interactions with these features apart from visiting our website are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the relevant social media platform.
Security
We implement reasonable technical, physical, and administrative safeguards to help protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no Internet or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13 years. We do not intentionally collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
