At BLUSHBITE ("we," "our," or "us"), we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, share, and protect your data when you interact with our Services. The term “Services” includes our website, located at BLUSHBITE.COM (referred to as “the Site”), as well as any written, electronic, or verbal communication between you and BLUSHBITE.

Before using our Services, please read both this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions. By accessing or using our Services, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policy, we kindly ask that you refrain from using our Services.

If you are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, your use of our Services means that you accept the Terms and Conditions and the privacy practices described herein.

Policy Updates: We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. When changes are made, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Depending on the nature of the changes, we may provide you with advance notice, especially if they significantly affect the way we handle your personal information. However, if you continue to use our Services after such changes are posted, this will be considered your acknowledgment and acceptance of the updated policy.

In addition to this Privacy Policy, we may offer real-time notifications or provide additional details about how specific parts of our Services manage personal information. These disclosures may further supplement this Privacy Policy and offer you additional options regarding your data.

1. Personal Information We Collect

We collect personal information when you use our Services, create an account, or provide details upon request through our Site. Personal information refers to any data that can identify you directly or indirectly, such as your name, email address, phone number, physical address, and payment details. The specific definition of personal information may differ depending on your location, and only the applicable definition based on your jurisdiction will govern your rights under this Privacy Policy. Personal information does not include data that has been anonymized or aggregated in a way that makes it impossible to identify you.

The personal information we may collect includes:

A. Information You Provide to Us Directly
When you use our Services, we collect personal information that you provide. For example, if you make a purchase on the Site, we gather your name, address, email, phone number, and payment details. Depending on your location, additional information such as passport details and tax numbers may be required for customer clearance. We may also collect your personal information when you interact with customer service, complete surveys, or fill out forms on the Site. If you subscribe to receive updates from BLUSHBITE, we will store your email address to send you product and service information.

B. Information to Personalize Your Experience
You may voluntarily provide additional information, such as your height, weight, age, and other preferences. This helps us recommend clothing sizes and improve our fit prediction services, ensuring you get tailored suggestions.

C. Information You Share Publicly
If you contribute to public areas on the Site, such as leaving a review, this content may be collected and used by BLUSHBITE, other users, or the general public.

D. Information Shared via Live Chat
When you interact with our Live Chat feature on the Site, you may share personal details. Please be cautious not to share sensitive information that you’re uncomfortable with. Additionally, we may store voice data from your customer service interactions for security purposes, ensuring that all communications are protected.
