At Overmont Kitchen (accessible via overmontkitchen.com), we take your privacy very seriously and are committed to protecting the trust you place in us. This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from our website.

1. Personal Information We Collect

When you visit or interact with our site, we collect two main categories of information: Device Information and Order Information.

A. Device Information (Automatically Collected)

When you browse our store, we automatically collect certain technical details about your device and browsing behavior, including your web browser type, IP address, time zone, and cookies installed on your device. We collect this data using:

Cookies: Small data files placed on your device. For more information about cookies or how to disable them, visit allaboutcookies.org.
Log Files: Track actions occurring on the site, collecting data such as IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
Web Beacons, Tags, & Pixels: Electronic files used to record information about how you navigate through our products and pages.

B. Order Information (Provided by You)

When you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through our store, we collect specific details required to process your order, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (credit/debit card numbers processed securely via third-party gateways), email address, and phone number.

2. How We Use Your Personal Information

We use the information we collect primarily to deliver our products and provide a seamless shopping experience. Specifically, we use your personal information to:

Fulfill and manage your orders (processing payments, arranging shipping, and sending order confirmations and invoices).
Communicate with you regarding order updates, customer service inquiries, or promotional news (with your consent).
Screen orders for potential risk or fraud (in particular, checking IP addresses and billing matches).
Improve and optimize site navigation, user experience, and the performance of our marketing campaigns.

Our Core Privacy Commitments:

We DO NOT sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
We will never use your personal pictures or private feedback for advertising without your explicit written consent.

3. Sharing Your Personal Information

We share your personal information only with trusted third-party service providers that enable us to operate our store and serve you effectively:

E-Commerce Platform: Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which powers our store infrastructure. Read Shopify's Privacy Policy here.
Analytics Tools: We use Google Analytics to help us understand how customers browse and interact with our site. Read Google's Privacy Policy here.
Order Fulfillment & Logistics: We share necessary shipping details (name, address, phone number) with shipping carriers (e.g., FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL) solely for delivery purposes.
Payment Processing: Payment details are encrypted and handled directly by compliant payment processors (e.g., Shop Pay, PayPal, credit card gateways). We do not store full credit card information on our servers.
Legal Compliance: We may also share personal information to comply with applicable laws, respond to subpoenas or court orders, or protect our legal rights and safety.

4. Information Security

We implement rigorous security measures and follow industry best practices to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

All communication and transactions on our website are encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and standard TLS encryption protocols.

5. Do Not Track Signals

Please note that because there is no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals, we do not alter our site's data collection and use practices when we detect a DNT signal from your browser.

Right to Correction: Request updates or corrections to inaccurate personal information.
Right to Erasure / Deletion: Request the deletion of your personal data, subject to legal record-keeping exceptions.
Right to Opt-Out: Opt-out of receiving marketing communications at any time by clicking "unsubscribe" in our emails or contacting us directly.

To exercise any of these rights, please reach out to us at service@overmontkitchen.com.

7. Data Retention

When you place an order through our site, we retain your Order Information for operational, accounting, and tax records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.

8. Protection of Minors

Our website is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can remove the data from our records.
