Aleris Weddings operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services, in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping and event coordination experience (the "Services"). Aleris Weddings is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit, use, or make a purchase or other transaction using the Services or otherwise communicate with us. If there is a conflict between our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy controls with respect to the collection, processing, and disclosure of your personal information. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using and accessing any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

**Personal Information We Collect or Process**

When we use the term "personal information," we are referring to information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to you or another person. Personal information does not include information that is collected anonymously or that has been de-identified, so that it cannot identify or be reasonably linked to you. We may collect or process various categories of personal information depending on how you interact with the Services, where you live, and as permitted or required by applicable law. This includes contact details such as your name, billing address, shipping address, phone number, and email address. For our clients and their guests, this also includes information submitted through custom forms, RSVPs, or event coordination channels, such as guest names, email addresses, phone numbers, attendance statuses, and dietary preferences. Additionally, we process financial information including credit card, debit card, and financial account numbers, transaction details, and payment confirmations; account information such as usernames, passwords, security questions, and settings; transaction information regarding items viewed, put in your cart, purchased, returned, or exchanged; communications sent to us during support inquiries; device information including IP address, browser type, and unique identifiers; and usage information regarding how you navigate the Services.

**Personal Information Sources**

We may collect personal information directly from you when you create an account, submit an RSVP, complete a form, visit the Services, or communicate with us. We also collect information automatically through your device when you interact with our website via cookies and similar technologies, as well as from our trusted service providers and technical partners who process data on our behalf.

**How We Use Your Personal Information**

Depending on how you interact with us or which of the Services you use, we may use personal information for several operational purposes. We use your personal information to provide, tailor, and improve the Services, perform our contract with you, process payments, fulfill orders, manage event RSVPs, remember your preferences, send account notifications, and manage client accounts. We also use personal information for internal marketing and advertising, allowing Aleris Weddings to send promotional communications, updates, or special offers directly by email, text message, or mail. Furthermore, we use personal information for security and fraud prevention, authenticating accounts, protecting public safety, and securing our services. We also use your information to communicate with you, provide effective customer support, and comply with applicable laws, valid legal processes, or legal proceedings.

**How We Disclose Personal Information**

In certain circumstances, we may disclose your personal information to third parties for legitimate business operational purposes subject to this Privacy Policy. This includes sharing data with Shopify, vendors, and third parties who perform essential services on our behalf, such as IT management, payment processing, cloud storage, and order fulfillment. We may also work with integrated tools to facilitate our internal marketing and communication efforts. However, Aleris Weddings deeply respects your privacy: any personal information, contact info, or RSVP details provided by our clients or their guests will never be sold, rented, traded, or leased to third parties for their own independent marketing or commercial purposes. We may also disclose information when you direct or consent to such disclosure, with corporate affiliates, or in connection with a business transaction such as a merger, or to comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies.

**Relationship with Shopify**

The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services for you. Information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify as well as third parties that may be located in countries other than where you reside.

The Services may provide links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you follow links to sites not affiliated or controlled by us, you should review their privacy and security policies and other terms and conditions. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information found on these sites. Information you provide on public or semi-public venues may also be viewable by other users of those third-party platforms.

**Children's Data**

The Services are not intended to be used by children, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information about children under the age of majority in your jurisdiction. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with their personal information, you may contact us using the details below to request that it be deleted. As of the Effective Date of this Privacy Policy, we do not have actual knowledge that we share or sell personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.

**Security and Retention of Your Information**

Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee perfect security. In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. How long we retain your personal information depends on different factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, provide Services, manage event details, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce applicable contracts and policies.
