Luxe and Laurel Privacy Statement

This website is owned and operated by Luxe and Laurel Boutique. We are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our visitors and customers by ensuring the security of your personal data and being transparent about how we utilize it.

Collection of Personal Information

When you complete a purchase at our store, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name, shipping address, and email address, as a necessary part of the transaction process. As you browse our boutique, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address, which provides us with insights regarding your browser and operating system to help us optimize your shopping experience.

With your explicit permission, we may occasionally send you email marketing communications regarding new collection launches, exclusive products, and other brand updates.

Consent and Withdrawal

By providing personal information to complete a transaction, verify a payment method, place an order, or arrange for a delivery, you consent to our collection and use of that information for that specific purpose. If we request your information for a secondary reason, such as marketing, we will provide you with a direct opportunity to express your consent or decline.

Should you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you or for the continued collection and use of your data at any time. Please direct these requests to our team at concierge@luxeandlaurelboutique.com.

E-Commerce Hosting via Shopify

Our boutique is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides the secure e-commerce platform that allows us to present our curated products to you. Your data is stored through Shopify’s secure data storage and databases, protected by a dedicated firewall.

Payment Security:

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify encrypts your credit card data through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is retained only as long as necessary to complete the transaction, after which it is deleted. All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by the PCI Security Standards Council—a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover—to ensure the secure handling of your financial information.

Third-Party Services

In general, the third-party providers we utilize will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to perform the services they provide to us. However, certain providers, such as payment gateways and transaction processors, maintain their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing these policies to understand how your personal information will be managed by these entities.

Please note that once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.

Security Practices

To protect your personal information, we take rigorous precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure data is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, or altered. Your credit card information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of electronic storage is absolute, we strictly adhere to all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry-standard security measures.

Cookies and Tracking

We utilize cookies to enhance your experience and provide essential site functionality. These include:

  • Session IDs: Unique tokens that allow Shopify to store information about your session (e.g., landing pages and referrers).

  • Analytics: Tracking visit frequency to help us improve our boutique’s performance.

  • Cart Persistence: Storing information about the contents of your shopping cart for your convenience.

  • Location/Currency: We process your IP address to determine your location for currency conversion, ensuring that prices remain consistent and localized as you browse.

Age of Consent

By using this site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use this site.

Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Clarifications and changes will take effect immediately upon their posting on the website. If our boutique is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so that we may continue to serve you.
