Embirikos is a fine jewelry brand based in Brooklyn, New York. For privacy-related requests, contact us at au.empeiria@gmail.com or through our contact page. Postal address: 640 Dean St, Brooklyn, NY 11238.

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

• Account and contact data: name, email address, phone number, billing and shipping addresses, and account credentials if you create an account.
• Order and payment data: items purchased, order history, and payment-related information. Payment card details are processed by our payment processors; we do not store full card numbers on our own servers.
• Communications: messages you send to us by email, contact forms, or other channels, and related metadata needed to respond.
• Technical and usage data: IP address, browser type, device information, general location derived from IP, pages viewed, and referring URLs, collected through cookies and similar technologies as described below.

3. How we use information

We use personal information to:

• Process, fulfill, ship, and support your orders.
• Communicate with you about your purchases, appointments, or inquiries.
• Operate, secure, and improve our website and services.
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and illegal activity.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms and policies.
• Send marketing communications where permitted by law and where you have opted in, if applicable.

4. Legal bases (where applicable)

If applicable law requires a legal basis for processing, we rely on performance of a contract (for example, to fulfill your order), legitimate interests (for example, fraud prevention and website security), compliance with legal obligations, and consent where we ask for it (for example, certain marketing or non-essential cookies).

5. How we share information

We share personal information with service providers that help us run our business, such as payment processors, shipping carriers, email delivery providers, hosting and infrastructure vendors, and analytics tools, solely as needed for them to perform services on our behalf. We require these parties to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

We do not sell your personal information as that term is commonly defined under U.S. state privacy laws. We do not share personal information with third parties for their own independent marketing without your consent where consent is required.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

We and our partners may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to remember your preferences, keep you signed in where applicable, measure site performance, and understand how visitors use our site. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling certain cookies may limit some features of the site.

7. Retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary depending on the type of data and the nature of our relationship with you.

8. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. Residents of some U.S. states may have additional rights under applicable state law (for example, California). To exercise rights, contact us using the details in Section 1. We may need to verify your request before responding.

10. Children

Our services are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

11. International visitors

If you access our site from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where we or our service providers operate. Those countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Material changes will be communicated as required by law. Your continued use of the site after changes become effective constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised policy, where permitted by law.
