Plain-English privacy notes

Information we collect

Blinkee may collect information you provide directly, including name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, account login details, order notes, product questions, quote requests, newsletter signups, and messages sent through forms.

When you place an order, Blinkee collects order details such as purchased products, quantities, prices, coupons, shipping method, taxes, order status, delivery destination, and customer service history.

Payment card numbers and wallet credentials are processed through payment providers. Blinkee receives transaction status, limited payment identifiers, and records needed to complete the order, but does not need to store full card numbers in the theme.

Information collected automatically

The site may collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, search terms, cart activity, checkout events, cookie identifiers, and approximate location derived from network information.

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to keep carts working, remember account sessions, support checkout, detect fraud, measure site performance, understand product interest, and improve shopping flows.

How information is used

Blinkee uses customer information to process orders, calculate shipping and taxes, accept payments, provide order updates, answer questions, manage accounts, review reseller access, send requested emails, prevent abuse, improve the catalog, and maintain site security.

Information from forms may be used to respond to bulk quote requests, custom Blinkee inquiries, sample requests, shipping questions, product questions, reseller questions, or customer service issues.

Sharing with service providers

Blinkee may share information with service providers that help operate the store, including hosting providers, payment processors, shipping carriers, tax calculators, fraud prevention tools, email providers, analytics providers, security services, and ecommerce platform services.

These providers are expected to use the information to perform their services for Blinkee and related operational purposes, not to take over the customer relationship.

Marketing and newsletters

If you subscribe to Blinkee emails, Blinkee may use your email address to send product updates, seasonal ideas, sale notices, catalog notes, and other Blinkee-related messages.

Newsletter emails should include an unsubscribe or preference option when sent through an email marketing system. You can also contact Blinkee at [email protected] about email preferences.

Legal, safety, and business needs

Blinkee may use or disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, enforce policies, detect or prevent fraud, protect customers, protect the site, resolve disputes, collect amounts owed, or complete a business transaction such as a merger, sale, or transfer of assets.

Retention

Blinkee keeps information for as long as needed for orders, accounting, tax records, customer service, fraud prevention, account management, legal compliance, and legitimate business records.

Some information may be retained in backups, logs, or transaction records for a limited period even after an account or request is handled.

Security

Blinkee uses reasonable technical and administrative measures intended to protect customer information. No website, payment system, email system, or data transmission is guaranteed to be completely secure.

Customers should protect account credentials and contact Blinkee promptly if they believe account information has been misused.

Customer choices and access

Customers may sign in to view account information and order history where account features are available. You may contact Blinkee to ask about access, correction, deletion, or newsletter preferences.

Some requests may be limited by order records, fraud prevention, accounting, tax, legal, or operational requirements.

California and state privacy requests

Depending on where you live and how privacy laws apply, you may have rights to request more information about personal information collected, request access, request correction, request deletion, opt out of certain sharing or sale of personal information, or limit certain uses of sensitive personal information.

Blinkee does not aim to sell customer personal information as a data broker. If a privacy control, advertising cookie, or analytics tool creates a legal opt-out obligation, Blinkee will work to honor applicable requests.

To make a privacy request, email [email protected] and include enough information to identify the relevant account, order, or email address. Blinkee may need to verify the request before acting on it.

Children

Blinkee sells party products and novelty items, but the ecommerce site is intended for use by adults and customers old enough to make purchases. Blinkee does not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13.

Updates

Blinkee may update this policy as the site, tools, products, service providers, or legal requirements change. The version on this page is the current customer-facing privacy policy for the staged theme.
