What we collect

Three sources, nothing more


What you give us

Order details, name, shipping and billing address, email, phone. Payment is processed by our payment providers; we never store full card numbers. Messages you send us.

What your visit tells us

Pages viewed, clicks, referring sites, browser and device information, IP address, and cookies (see below).

Delivery status from carriers, payment verification and fraud signals from payment processors.

How we use it

Only for the obvious reasons

Processing, shipping, payment, and customer service.

Protect the store

Fraud detection and legal compliance (tax, accounting, consumer law).

Improve the site

Aggregate analytics on how the store is used.

Marketing, only if you opt in

Newsletter emails you can leave with one click, any time.

We never sell your data for money. Sharing for store operations is limited to the services that run the store: Shopify (hosting and checkout), payment providers as shown at checkout, shipping carriers, fulfillment partners, email and analytics services, and authorities where the law requires it. We also use cookies to share limited data with advertising and analytics partners such as Google, for measurement and targeted advertising. Under some US state privacy laws this may be considered “sharing” or a “sale,” and you can opt out at any time via Your Privacy Choices. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals.

California

Your California privacy rights


If you live in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, gives you specific rights over your personal information, in addition to those described above.

You can ask us to disclose what personal information we collect and how we use it, request a copy of it, correct it, or delete it. You can also opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, and you will never be treated differently for exercising any of these rights.

We do not sell your personal information for monetary payment. We do use cookies to share certain online identifiers with advertising and analytics partners, such as Google, for measurement and targeted advertising. Under the CCPA as amended by the CPRA this may be considered a “sale” or “sharing,” and you can opt out at any time through our Your Privacy Choices page; we also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16.

The information we collect falls into a few categories: identifiers such as your name, email, shipping address, and phone number; commercial information such as your order history; internet activity such as how you use our site; and, when you write to us, the contents of your message. We use it only to process orders, provide support, and improve our store.

To exercise any of these rights, email info@korhonen.nl. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframes required by law, and you may use an authorized agent to make a request for you. Residents of other US states with similar privacy laws have comparable rights and can contact us the same way.
