This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information
is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from Sara
Enterprises i.e. buddhistthangkacentre.com (the “Site”).
PERSONAL INFORMATION
WE COLLECT
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain
information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP
address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device.
Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the
individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms
referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site.
We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information”.
We collect Device Information using the following
technologies:
- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or
computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information
about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and
collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service
provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
- “Web beacons”, “tags”, and “pixels” are electronic files
used to record information about how you browse the Site.
Purchases and Payment
Processors
If you make a purchase through the Services, you may be able
to pay using a third-party payment service, such as Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay,
Amazon Pay or other third-party payment services. All information collected by
these third-party payment services for purposes of processing your payments is
not available to us, unless you have otherwise provided this information to us
in connection with your use of the Services. Information collected from you by
these third-party payment services is governed by the applicable third-party
payment service’s privacy policy. You should review the applicable privacy
policy prior to submitting any information to the applicable third-party
payment service.
Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a
purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including
your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including
credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this
information as “Order Information”.
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy
Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.
We use the Order Information that we collect generally to
fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment
information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or
order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
- Communicate with you;
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
- When in line with the preferences you have shared with us,
provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or
services.
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us
screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more
generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating
analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to
assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
