Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form and the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service Privacy Policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in your comment.

What we collect and store

While you visit our site, we’ll track:

  • Products you’ve viewed: we’ll use this to, for example, show you products you’ve recently viewed
  • Location, IP address and browser type: we’ll use this for purposes like estimating taxes and shipping
  • Shipping address: we’ll ask you to enter this so we can, for instance, estimate shipping before you place an order, and send you the order!

We’ll also use cookies to keep track of cart contents while you’re browsing our site.

When you purchase from us, we’ll ask you to provide information including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, credit card/payment details and optional account information like username and password. We’ll use this information for purposes, such as, to:

  • Send you information about your account and order
  • Respond to your requests, including refunds and complaints
  • Process payments and prevent fraud
  • Set up your account for our store
  • Comply with any legal obligations we have, such as calculating taxes
  • Improve our store offerings
  • Send you marketing messages, if you choose to receive them

If you create an account, we will store your name, address, email and phone number, which will be used to populate the checkout for future orders.

We generally store information about you for as long as we need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it, and we are not legally required to continue to keep it. For example, we will store order information for XXX years for tax and accounting purposes. This includes your name, email address and billing and shipping addresses.

We will also store comments or reviews, if you choose to leave them.

 

What we share with others

We share information with third parties who help us provide our orders and store services to you; for example:

 

Financial Data

Financial data is related to your payment methods, such as credit card or bank transfer details. We collect financial data to enable you to purchase, order, return or exchange products or services from our website and any related mobile apps. We store limited financial data. Most financial data is transferred to our payment processors, Stripe and/or PayPal. You should review these processors’ Privacy Policies to determine how they use, disclose and protect your financial data. As a courtesy, Stripe’s Privacy Policy is available here: https://stripe.com/privacy and PayPal’s Privacy Policy is available here: PayPal Privacy Policy.

Partners and suppliers

Our products are available through our partners and suppliers, which may have privacy policies that differ from LUX MADEIRA’s Privacy Policy.

We share some personal information with our partners (e.g. service providers) who will fulfil the purchases you have made from us: your name and your local contact details if you provide them (e.g., your hotel name for pickups and drop-offs, your local phone number, your mobile phone number, etc.).

You should be aware that they may need other personal information (such as health or physical fitness information) to find out whether you can take part in an activity. 

You should read and rely upon the relevant supplier’s or partner’s Privacy Policy only if LUX MADEIRA does not collect this information from you directly.

We may also use or disclose Personal Information as we believe to be necessary or appropriate: (a) under applicable law, including laws outside your country of residence; (b) to comply with the legal process; (c) to respond to requests from public or government authorities, including public or government authorities outside your country of residence;

 

How long we retain your data

The comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely if you leave a comment. This is, so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

 

What rights do you have over your data?

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

 

Where do we send your data?

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

 

Additional information

 

How we protect your data

At LUX MADEIRA, we seek to maintain the integrity and security of your personal information. 

We use industry-standard encryption protocols when receiving and transferring your personal information. When you send Personal Information to us over the Internet, we first require that a “secure session” be established using Secure Socket Layer (SSL). 

We seek to store your Personal Information in secure operating environments that are not accessible to the public and to have security measures in place at our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of your Personal Information by our employees or third parties. 

However, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage environment can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee that the information you provide to us will be safe at all times. 

LUX MADEIRA will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorized access to your personal information. 

 

What data breach procedures do we have in place

LUX MADEIRA will rely on you telling us if you experience any unusual events that may indicate a breach in your information security. We will then seek to investigate whether the security breach was related to the data transmissions from or to LUX MADEIRA and let you know what steps can be taken and have been taken to help rectify the problem. 

Further action, such as reporting incidents to the police or other proper authorities, may also be required.

 

What third parties do we receive data from

When you visit LUX MADEIRA, our web server recognises and collects your IP address, attached by your Internet Service Provider, and does not identify you. 

 

What automated decision-making and/or profiling do we do with user data

Suppose you are no longer interested in receiving future email marketing communications from LUX MADEIRA. You may unsubscribe by following the directions and link in each email marketing message we send.
