Overview

At novahand Store, safeguarding your personal information is a responsibility we take seriously. This Privacy Policy describes the types of data we gather, the reasons we gather it, and the measures we take to keep it secure whenever you browse our website or purchase from our online store.

Information We Collect

When you engage with our services, we may collect the following categories of personal information:

• Account & Order Data: Your name, email address, shipping address, billing address, and purchase history, gathered when you register an account, submit an order, or update your novahand Store profile.
• Payment Data: Handled entirely by our PCI-DSS-compliant payment processor. novahand Store never retains complete card numbers, security codes, or other sensitive payment authentication details.
• Usage Data: IP address, device type, browser type, and pages viewed — captured automatically through cookies and analytics tools as you navigate our platform.
• Communications: Messages, inquiries, feedback, or support requests you submit to us by email, contact forms, or other communication channels.

How We Use Your Information

Your information is used solely for the following purposes:

• To process and fulfill your orders, including payment processing, order confirmation, shipping coordination, and delivery updates.
• To answer your customer inquiries, resolve account or order issues, and respond to feedback you submit.
• To deliver transactional, service-related emails (such as order receipts, shipping notifications, and account alerts) that are necessary for your use of our services.
• To study usage trends and enhance our website functionality, product offerings, and overall customer experience.
• Marketing and promotional emails are sent only when you have expressly opted in to receive them — you can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every message, or by contacting our support team.

Sharing of Information

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third parties for their own commercial or marketing purposes. We disclose your personal data only to trusted third-party service providers whose services are essential to running our business, and only to the extent required for them to carry out their contracted work on our behalf. These providers include:

• PCI-DSS-compliant payment processors that handle secure transaction processing;
• Licensed shipping and delivery carriers that fulfill and deliver your orders;
• Analytics providers, who receive only anonymized, aggregated usage data that cannot be linked back to your individual identity. Every third-party provider we engage is contractually obligated to maintain strict data protection standards and is prohibited from using your personal information for any purpose beyond the services they deliver to novahand Store.

Your Rights

All users hold data protection rights aligned with their jurisdiction of residence:

• GDPR (EU/EEA residents): You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing of, and obtain data portability for your personal information held by novahand Store.
• CCPA (California residents): You have the right to know what personal data we collect about you, the right to request deletion of your personal data (subject to legal exceptions), and the right to opt out of any sale of your personal data. novahand Store does not sell personal information to third parties, as noted in our Sharing of Information section. To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team at service@novahand.shop. We will verify your identity and respond to your request within 30 days of receipt, in compliance with applicable data protection regulations.

Cookies

We use two categories of cookies on our website:

1. Essential Cookies: Required for core site functionality, including account login, shopping cart operation, order processing, and secure checkout. These cookies are necessary for the site to function and cannot be disabled.
2. Analytics Cookies: Used to collect anonymized data about how users interact with our site to help us understand usage patterns and improve our services. You may control or disable non-essential (analytics) cookies at any time via your browser's cookie settings. Disabling essential cookies may impact the functionality of our website and your ability to complete purchases.

Changes to This Policy

novahand Store may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect updates in our business practices, services, or applicable legal requirements. Should we introduce material changes to this policy, we will alert you by email (to the address linked to your account) or by posting a prominent notice on our website at least 14 days before those changes take effect. Your continued use of novahand Store's services after any changes to this Privacy Policy become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically to stay informed of how we protect your personal information.
