This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.hasanakbas.com (the “Site”).

SECTION 1 - PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies installed on your device.

We refer to this automatically collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

• “Cookies” are data files placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
  
• “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
  
• “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.
  

When you make or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers or PayPal details), email address, and phone number.

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking about both Device Information and Order Information.

SECTION 2 - HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We use the Order Information that we collect to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping through our production partner Gelato, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations).

Additionally, we use this Order Information to:

• Communicate with you about your order or any inquiries.
  
• Screen orders for potential risk or fraud.
  
• Provide you with information or promotions related to our products and services (if you have opted in).
  

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address) and more generally to improve and optimize our Site. For example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, we can assess the effectiveness of our content and marketing.
