Privacy Protection Acts
California has adopted the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) which is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply withthis policy. See more at:

Other states may have adopted similar laws for the protection of website users. Users should check the laws of their state of residence for more information. Our Privacy Policy is intended to comply with CalOPPA as well as applicable federal and other state laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously. We have added a link to this Privacy Policy on our home page as well as in the Privacy Policy section of our Terms and Conditions of Use. Our Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy', and can be easily be found on the pages specified above.

How does our site handle do not track signals?

Does our site allow third party behavioral tracking?
It is also important to note that we allow third party behavioral tracking. COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act) When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under thirteen, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under the age of thirteen or knowingly accept Personally Identifiable Information from children under thirteen. Users under eighteen may use the Site only with permission of a parent or guardian.
Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information. In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will notify the users via email within 7 business days should a data breach occur. We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
CAN SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.
We collect your email address in order to:
● Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
● Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to orders

General Data Protection Regulation
The GDPR is the European Union’s data privacy law which impacts how all companies (big and small) collect and handle personal data about their European customers. It applies to any company that handles the personal data of residents in the European Economic Area. However, because OLIVIA+POPPY strongly believes in data protection and privacy, it will give our buyers the rights afforded by the GDPR to control their personal data, wherever they live.
The GDPR gives rights to identified or identifiable persons, including buyers visiting stores to:
● Deletion (erasure) of their personal data. Data subjects have the right to request that their personal data be erased in certain circumstances. Personal data cannot be erased when it is associated with a pending order, or associated with an order made fewer than 180 days before the request (the usual window in which a buyer can make a chargeback) When processing a request for erasure, OLIVIA+POPPY will anonymize the personal data of the buyer, but keep non-personal data such as revenue information and order details. Order details that are retained include the gateway to process payment, time of sale, amount paid, currency, subtotal, shipping cost, taxes added, shipping method, item quantity, item name, SKU, and payment method.
● Correction (rectification) of their data. Data subjects have the right to correct incomplete, or inaccurate personal data held or processed.
● Access to their data.
● Data Portability. If data is requested, the data will be provided in a commonly used and machine-readable format.
What data does the GDPR apply to?
Under the GDPR, personal data means any information relating to a data subject. An identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as:
● Name
● Identification Number
● Location Data
● Online identifier (such as IP address or cookie ID)
Legal Basis for Processing
The GDPR sets out a list of possible legal bases under which personal data may be processed. These reasons include:
● Consent
● Contractual obligations
● Legal obligations
● The publics interests
● Legitimate interests of the controller or third party, balanced against the rights of the data subject.
Consent of the data subject means that the data subject has agreed to the processing of their personal data with a clear affirmative action. The agreement must be:
● Freely given
● Specific
● Informed
● Unambiguous
In certain cases, however, the law may additionally require consent for certain types of processing (for example, when placing or retrieving cookies on a device). In such cases, the merchant is also responsible for obtaining appropriate consent.
Disclosures to Third Parties
We will never independently sell personal data for commercial purposes. However, OLIVIA+POPPY does disclose personal data to third parties or allow third parties to access personal data to help provide services for example, to:
● Store platform data
● Operate the forums and other portions of OLIVIA+POPPY’s website
● Respond to and manage support inquiries
We also provide information to third parties then legally required to do so. Where OLIVIA+POPPY believes it is legally required to provide information, and not legally prohibited from disclosing the existence of the legal order, it will notify the data subject and give the data subject a chance to seek a protective order.
Data Protection and Security
Under the GDPR we are required to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures. We have implemented the controls and processes identified in the GDPR, including:
● Anonymizing and encrypting personal data
● Ensuring confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems
● Restricting who may access personal data
● Ensuring availability and access to personal data in the event of a physical or technical incident
● Performing regular testing, assessments, and evaluation of technical and organizational security measures
