## 2. Data Collection on Our Website

### Hosting and Shopify
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. Shopify provides us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products to you. Your data is stored through Shopify's data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.

If you make a purchase, Shopify also stores your credit card information. This is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase transaction.

### Server Log Files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
* Browser type and browser version
* Operating system used
* Referrer URL
* Hostname of the accessing computer
* Time of the server request
* IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

## 3. Cookies
Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Cookies help us to make our offering more user-friendly, effective, and secure.

We use both "session cookies" (deleted after the end of your visit) and "persistent cookies" (remain stored on your device until you delete them or their storage period expires). These enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit (e.g., for the shopping cart).

## 4. Payment Service Providers and Shipping
To process your order, we work with service providers who assist us fully or partially in fulfilling concluded contracts.

### Payment Processing
Depending on the chosen payment method, we forward your payment data to the commissioned credit institution or the selected payment service provider (e.g., Shopify Payments, PayPal, Klarna) as part of payment processing. The payment service providers are responsible for your payment data.

### Shipping
Your data (name, address) is passed on to our shipping partners (e.g., Swiss Post, DHL) to enable the delivery of your Abaya including matching headscarf.

## 5. Analytics Tools and Marketing
We use Shopify Analytics and, where applicable, pixel technologies (such as the Meta Pixel) to evaluate visitor behavior and continuously improve our offering of timeless elegance. Data about your use of our website is collected and analyzed in this process.

## 6. Your Rights
Under applicable legal provisions (in particular the Swiss Data Protection Act nDSG and, if applicable, the GDPR), you have the right at any time to:
* Free information about your stored personal data.
* Correction of inaccurate data.
* Blocking or deletion of your data.
* Withdrawal of consent already given for data processing.

Please contact the responsible entity at the address mentioned above for this purpose.

## 7. Data Security
During your website visit, we use the widespread SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure in conjunction with the highest encryption level supported by your browser.

## 8. Topicality and Amendment of this Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy to always comply with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy.
