Privacy policy

This Privacy Policy describes how AREKANA (operated by ARCH CONNECT, "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your personal information when you visit, use, or make a purchase through arekana.com (the "Site"), or otherwise communicate with us (collectively, the "Services").

By using the Services, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The updated version will take effect as soon as it is posted on this page.

Personal Information We Collect
We collect personal information you provide directly to us, such as your name, shipping and billing address, email address, and phone number when you place an order or contact us. We also automatically collect certain information when you use the Site, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing behavior, through cookies and similar technologies.

How We Use Your Information
- To process and fulfill your orders
- To communicate with you about your order or inquiries
- To improve our products and Services
- To comply with legal obligations and prevent fraud

Third-Party Services
We share your information with trusted third parties as necessary to operate our business, including:
- Shopify, which powers our online store
- Printify and its network of print-on-demand production partners, who print and ship your order directly to you
- Payment processors, to securely process your payment
Each of these providers handles your information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
- Pinterest, which provides advertising and measurement tools. When you visit the Site, Pinterest may collect information such as your IP address, device information, the pages you view, and actions you take (for example, adding an item to your cart or completing a purchase) through the Pinterest Tag and Conversions API. If you place an order, certain order details and contact information (such as your email address, in hashed form) may be shared with Pinterest to measure ad performance. Pinterest handles this information under its own Privacy Policy: https://policy.pinterest.com/privacy-policy

Disclosure of Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. However, sharing information with advertising partners such as Pinterest for ad measurement or targeted advertising may be considered "sharing" or a "sale" under some U.S. state privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act. You may opt out at any time through the "Your privacy choices" link at the bottom of our Site, or by emailing us at archconnect.ec@gmail.com. Otherwise, we disclose personal information only as necessary to fulfill your order, comply with the law, or prevent fraud or abuse.

Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, understand how visitors use it, and measure the effectiveness of our marketing, including through the Pinterest Tag. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the Site may not function properly as a result.
