1. Scope and commitment.
This Privacy Policy describes how personal information is collected, used, shared, and protected in connection with this website and the orders placed through it. It applies to information collected through the website, through checkout and payment processing, through customer service communications, through return and refund requests, and through automated technologies such as cookies and analytics. It does not apply to third-party websites that may be linked from this site; those websites have their own privacy practices, and you should review them separately.
The policy is drafted to address the categories of personal information commonly collected by an ecommerce operation selling magnetic sensory products, including the age-related verification information that may be requested where a destination or a payment processor requires it. It is drafted to reflect the disclosures associated with U.S. state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended, and to provide transparency that supports trust. It is not a representation that every law applies to every transaction; the application of a specific law depends on factors including residence, data volume, and the nature of the processing.
2. Categories of personal information collected.
We collect information you provide directly, information collected automatically, and information received from service providers.
Information you provide directly includes: name, email address, shipping address, billing address, phone number if provided, order contents and order history, communications you send through the Contact page or by email, information you include in a return or refund request (including the reason for the return where you choose to provide it), and any information you voluntarily include in a product review or survey. If you choose to share information about your use context — for example, that the product is for a desk at work or for a teen in the household — that information is treated with the care described in Section 7. Payment card information is processed by a payment processor; we do not store full payment card numbers on our systems. The processor may provide us with a transaction identifier, the last four digits of a card, the card brand, and an authorization result so that we can confirm payment and handle refunds.
Information collected automatically includes: IP address, device type and operating system, browser type, pages viewed, referring URL, approximate location derived from IP address, and cookie identifiers. This information is used for site functionality, analytics, fraud prevention, and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
Information received from service providers includes: fraud screening results from payment and fraud-prevention providers, address verification results from carriers or address-validation services, age-verification results where an age check is required by a payment processor or a destination rule, and analytics or advertising measurement data from providers that support the site’s operation and marketing. An age-verification result is a pass/fail signal; it is not a copy of an identity document, and it is not retained beyond the transaction verification purpose.
3. Purposes of processing.
Personal information is processed for the following purposes: to fulfill orders, including processing payment, arranging shipping, and providing tracking information; to communicate about an order, a return, a refund, or a customer service request; to evaluate a damage or defect claim and arrange a replacement or refund; to detect and prevent fraud, unauthorized transactions, and abuse; to verify age where a processor or destination rule requires it; to maintain and improve the website, including diagnosing technical issues and analyzing aggregate usage patterns; to comply with legal obligations, including tax, accounting, and consumer-protection requirements; to enforce the Terms of Purchase and other policies; and to send marketing communications where you have opted in or where applicable law permits without opt-in and you have not opted out.
We do not use personal information for purposes that are materially different from those described here without providing notice. We do not sell personal information in exchange for monetary consideration. If a future practice would constitute a “sale” or “sharing” under applicable law in a way that requires an opt-out, this policy will be updated and an opt-out mechanism will be provided before that practice begins. Information you voluntarily share about your use context is used only to resolve the inquiry or improve the product information on the site; it is not used for advertising targeting.
4. Sharing with service providers and third parties.
We share personal information with service providers that perform functions necessary to operate the store. These include payment processors, fraud-screening providers, age-verification providers where applicable, shipping carriers and fulfillment partners, email and communication providers, analytics providers, and IT infrastructure providers. Service providers are permitted to use the information only to perform the services they are engaged to provide and are expected to maintain appropriate safeguards. A service provider that handles a return or a damage claim may receive the information necessary to process that claim, including photographs you provide; it is not permitted to use that information for any other purpose.
We may disclose information where required by law, legal process, or a regulatory authority; where necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of the store, its customers, or others; and in connection with a corporate transaction such as a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, where information may be transferred as part of the transaction subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.
We do not share personal information with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes unless you have been given a clear choice and have opted in. Where a third-party advertising or analytics provider collects information through cookies or similar technologies, the provider’s own privacy policy governs its use, and you may have opt-out rights through the provider’s tools or through your browser settings.
5. Cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are used to keep items in a cart, maintain a logged-in session, remember preferences, measure site performance, and support advertising measurement where applicable. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect site functionality, including the ability to complete a purchase. Where required by applicable law, a cookie consent mechanism will be presented before non-essential cookies are set.
Cookies do not collect the contents of a customer service message. Analytics cookies collect aggregate or pseudonymized data about site usage; they do not identify you by name or by the content of a message you send to customer service.
6. Data retention.
Personal information is retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to comply with legal and accounting obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce agreements. Order and transaction records are typically retained for a period consistent with tax and accounting requirements and the period during which a return or refund claim may be made. An age-verification result is retained only for as long as necessary to document the verification for the transaction, and is then deleted or anonymized. Information that is no longer necessary is deleted or anonymized in accordance with routine data-management practices.
7. Sensitive information and age-related disclosures.
Because this store sells products intended for adults and teens aged 14 and older, a customer service message may include information about the intended user’s age or the context in which the product will be used. That information is treated as sensitive. It is used only to respond to the inquiry, to confirm that the product is appropriate for the intended user, and to document the resolution where necessary. It is not used for marketing, is not sold, and is not shared with a third party except where necessary to resolve the inquiry (for example, confirming a return eligibility question with a fulfillment partner) or where required by law.
We do not ask you to provide age-related information as a condition of browsing the site. If a payment processor or a destination rule requires an age check at checkout, the check is performed by the processor or the carrier, and the result is a pass/fail signal. Do not include identity documents or the personal information of a minor in a customer service message; if verification is needed, a secure method will be provided.
8. Security.
Reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards are used to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encryption of data in transit, access controls, and vendor oversight. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and no system can guarantee absolute security. If a security incident affects personal information, notification will be provided as required by applicable law.
9. Your rights and choices.
Depending on your residence and applicable law, you may have the right to know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold; the right to access a copy of the information; the right to correct inaccurate information; the right to delete information; the right to opt out of sale or sharing; the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information; and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
Requests to exercise these rights are made through the Contact page on this website. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity before processing a request. An authorized agent may submit a request where applicable law permits, subject to verification of the agent’s authority. If a request is denied in whole or in part, the reason will be provided, along with information about how to appeal where an appeal process is required. A request to delete information provided in a customer service message will be honored to the extent consistent with recordkeeping obligations and the resolution of any pending claim.
10. Children’s privacy.
The website is not directed to children under the age of 14, and personal information is not knowingly collected from children under 14. The products sold on this website are intended for adults and teens aged 14 and older, and they contain small, high-powered magnets that must be kept away from all children. If it comes to our attention that a child’s information has been collected without appropriate consent, reasonable steps will be taken to delete it. A parent or guardian who believes a child’s information has been provided may contact us through the Contact page.
11. International visitors and cross-border transfers.
The website is operated in connection with a business that may use service providers located in the United States and other jurisdictions. If you access the site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or another jurisdiction where the service provider operates. Where applicable law requires safeguards for cross-border transfers, appropriate measures will be used. By using the site and placing an order, you acknowledge that processing may occur in jurisdictions other than your own, subject to the protections described in this policy.
12. Changes and contact.
This policy may be updated to reflect changes in practices, technology, or legal requirements. The updated version will be posted on this page, and material changes will be communicated through a notice on the site or through the contact method associated with your account where appropriate. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated policy to the extent permitted by law. Privacy questions, rights requests, and concerns about data handling are directed to the Contact page on this website.
