Privacy Policy
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PRIVACY POLICY MAY CHANGE FROM TIME TO TIME, WITH CHANGES TAKING EFFECT IMMEDIATELY, SO PLEASE CHECK IT OFTEN.
Our Commitment to Privacy
Your privacy is very important to us. Part of our operation of this website, https://oktoberdesign.com, (“Site”) involves the collection, storage, use, and disclosure of information about you. This Privacy Policy explains what type of information we collect through this Site, and our storage, use, and disclosure of this information to allow you to make choices about your use of the Site and about the way you share your information with us. By visiting this Site, you acknowledge and agree that you accept all of the provisions outlined in this Privacy Policy.
I. Information Identified
Information collected online can generally be categorized as anonymous (aggregate) information or personally identifiable information. Anonymous information is information that cannot be connected to the identity of a specific individual (for example, a users’ Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser being used, usage details, etc., as long as these fields do not link to a user’s personal information). Personally identifiable information, on the other hand, is information that specifically identifies a particular user (for example, a user’s name, address, email address, telephone number, business name and contact information, financial information, including credit card account numbers and billing information, communication preferences, order and subscription information, etc.).
A. Collection and Use of Automatic Anonymous Information
In general, you can visit this Site without identifying who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. Any data collected about your use of this Site which is automatically submitted by your browser to us is anonymous information.
When you visit our Site, we automatically collect certain technical and routing information about your computer. This anonymous information includes the IP address of your originating Internet Service Provider (ISP), the domain name of the website from which you accessed our Site, the browser you are using, your operating system, the dates you visited, the length of time visited, any search queries you entered and the search results, the pages of the Site you visited, and the time spent on each page visited.
We use this anonymous information for statistical purposes to track usage of the Site to improve its content and performance and to try to bring you the best possible service. We also collect this information for marketing purposes, including determining our target markets, to market our products and services to you, and to market the products and services of third-parties to you. This anonymous information may be shared with individuals and businesses related to the operation, use, and marketing of this Site, including third-party individuals and businesses. To the extent this anonymous information is shared, it is not traceable to you individually and will not be used to contact you directly. This anonymous information is also shared with our third-party advertisers for the purpose of providing advertising statistics to these third-parties.

B. Collection and Use of Personally Identifiable Information
Personally identifiable information is only collected by us when it is voluntarily submitted by you through various forms on this Site. Submission of personally identifiable information is not required merely to visit this Site; however, the submission and collection of personally identifiable information is required for any and all purchases of our products and services through this Site.
All purchases on this Site function through Shopify. Therefore, all personally identifiable information is shared with Shopify for completing transactions. You can read Shopify’s privacy policy HERE. You should contact Shopify directly if you have any questions or concerns about their collection, storage, use, or dissemination of your information.
We will use your personally identifiable information in the same manner as we use the automatically collected anonymous information, namely, to track your use of the Site, to improve its content and performance, to try to bring you the best possible service, and for marketing purposes, including determining our target markets, to market our products and services to you, and to market the products and services of third-parties to you. In addition, we also use your personally identifiable information to communicate with you, to provide products and services that you request, to respond to requests that you make, to improve our products and services, and to notify you of offers and new products and services. When you submit personally identifiable information to us, you understand that you are agreeing to allow us to access, store, and use that information for these purposes.
Personally identifiable information may also be accessible to individuals and businesses related to the operation and use of this Site. Thus, by entering any personally identifiable information, you are granting us express permission to share that information with the individuals and businesses related to the operation and use of this Site.
We may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide personally identifiable information to the appropriate governmental authorities. If requested by law enforcement or judicial authorities, we will provide this information on receipt of the appropriate documentation. We may also release information to law enforcement agencies or other third-parties if we feel it is necessary to protect the safety and welfare of our personnel, agents, you or others, or to enforce our Terms of Use. We may further disclose personally identifiable information to enforce any agreement we may have entered into with you and to enforce this Privacy Policy. In addition, we may disclose this information in connection with the maintenance and administration of this Site.

An anonymized 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 the context of your comment.
