Apiarist (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website shopapiarist.com and make purchases from our store.
Information We Collect
When you visit our site or make a purchase, we may collect the following information:
- Personal information you provide directly: your name, email address, shipping and billing address, phone number, and payment information when you place an order, create an account, or contact us.
- Information collected automatically: your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits. This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies to help us understand how our site is used and to improve your experience.
- Information from third parties: if you reach us through a social media platform or advertising partner, we may receive limited information such as your name or email address as permitted by that platform’s privacy settings.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to process and fulfill your orders, including shipping and payment processing; communicate with you about your orders, respond to your inquiries, and provide customer support; send you marketing communications if you have opted in, including new product announcements, promotions, and brand updates; improve our website, products, and services; comply with legal obligations; and detect and prevent fraud.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, processing payments, fulfilling orders, and delivering marketing communications. These providers are contractually required to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.
We may also disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and similar state privacy laws, you have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information. Apiarist does not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
