This Privacy Policy explains how Bochic collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit our website or buy from our online store. Bochic is an online fine and vintage jewelry store that sells worldwide.
Who We Are
This website and online store are operated by Bochic, a business based in New York. Bochic is the controller of the personal information described in this policy. You can contact us at any time at [email protected].
Information We Collect
Any personal information you give us, you provide of your own free will. When you place an order, contact us or otherwise use our store, we may collect:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your phone number
- Your shipping and billing address
- Your order details, such as the products you bought, order value and order history
- The messages you send us, for example through our contact form or by email
Payment card details are entered directly with our payment processor, Stripe. Bochic does not store full card numbers.
When you browse our website, cookies and similar technologies may also collect browsing data, such as the pages you visit, your device and browser type, your approximate location and your IP address. This is described in the Cookies and Tracking section below.
How We Use Your Information
We use the personal information you give us only to:
- Process and fulfill your orders
- Ship your orders to you
- Provide efficient customer service and respond to your messages
- Meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations connected to your orders
- Prevent fraud and protect the security of payments and orders
We do not use your order information for any other purpose. The marketing and analytics tools on our website work through cookies and browsing data, as described in the Cookies and Tracking section, and are separate from the order information you give us.
If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, we process your order information under the GDPR because it is necessary to perform our contract with you, to comply with our legal obligations, and for our legitimate interest in preventing fraud. Where we use cookies that require your consent, we rely on that consent.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to process and deliver your orders:
- With Stripe, to process your payment. Stripe handles your payment information under its own privacy policy: https://stripe.com/privacy
- With couriers and shipping carriers, to deliver your order
- With the technical service providers that run our website, only as needed to operate the store
We may also disclose personal information if we are required to do so by law.
Cookies and Tracking
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some are necessary for the store to work, for example to keep items in your cart and complete checkout. We also use the following tools:
- Google Analytics: helps us understand how visitors use our website, for example which pages are visited and how visitors arrive at our site.
- Google Tag Manager: a tool we use to manage the tags and scripts on our website, including the tools listed here.
- Google Ads: helps us measure the performance of our ads and show our ads to people who have visited our website (remarketing).
- Meta Pixel (Facebook Pixel): helps us measure the performance of our ads on Facebook and Instagram and show our ads to people who have visited our website (remarketing).
These tools collect browsing data through cookies and similar technologies. Google and Meta may use this data in line with their own privacy policies: Google Privacy Policy and Meta Privacy Policy.
For more details, see our Cookie Policy.
You can control or opt out of these tools in the following ways:
- Use the cookie settings on our website, or block or delete cookies in your browser settings
- Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
- Manage personalized ads from Google in your Google Ads settings: https://adssettings.google.com
- Manage the ads you see on Facebook and Instagram in your Meta ad preferences: https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences
Advertising based on browsing data may be considered "sharing" or "targeted advertising" under some US state privacy laws. You can opt out of it using the options above.
Data Retention
We keep your personal information only for as long as we need it to process your orders and provide customer service, and for as long as we are required to keep it to meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations. After that, we delete it or make it anonymous.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission over the internet or of electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Transfers
Bochic is based in the United States, and we and our service providers may process personal information in the United States and other countries. When personal information from the EEA or the UK is transferred, the transfer is protected by appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, and in particular if you are in the EEA or the UK, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Ask us to delete your personal information
- Object to or restrict certain processing of your personal information
- Withdraw your consent at any time, where we rely on consent
- Lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country
To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.
