Privacy Policy – Agape Boheme

Last updated: 4-12-2025

This privacy policy explains how I (and Shopify, the platform my shop runs on) collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit the website or place an order.

This page explains what information I collect, why I need it, how it’s used, who I share it with, and what your rights are. I know privacy pages can feel boring or confusing, so I tried to keep this one as simple as possible while still being legally correct.

If you ever have questions, just email me, I’m always happy to help!

1. Who we are

Agape Boheme (that’s me, Gina!) runs this website and shop.
My store is powered by Shopify, which helps me process orders and run everything safely and smoothly.

When this policy says “we,” “us,” or “our,” it means Agape Boheme + the Shopify systems that support the shop.

2. The personal information we collect

“Personal information” basically means anything that identifies you or can be linked back to you.
Depending on how you use the website, I may collect:

Information you give me directly

  • Name

  • Shipping & billing addresses

  • Email address

  • Phone number (only if you add it)

  • Payment details (handled securely by Shopify — I never see your full card info)

  • Account details (if you create an account)

  • Anything you write in emails or customer messages

Information collected automatically

  • IP address

  • Device type & browser

  • Cookies and browsing activity

  • What items you view or add to your cart

  • How you move around the website

Information from partners

Shopify and other service providers also collect some info automatically so the shop works properly (payments, analytics, delivery, etc.).

3. Why we use your information

I only use your information for practical reasons, nothing weird, nothing sneaky.
Here’s why it’s needed:

⭐ To process your orders

  • Creating your order

  • Taking payment

  • Shipping your package

  • Sending tracking info

  • Handling returns or exchanges

  • Managing your account

⭐ To improve your shopping experience

  • Remembering your preferences

  • Showing items related to what you like

  • Keeping the website functioning properly

  • Fixing bugs or issues

⭐ To communicate with you

  • Order confirmation emails

  • Important updates

  • Customer support

  • If you message me, I reply :)

⭐ Marketing (only if you choose this!)

  • Email newsletters

  • Updates about new jewelry or restocks

  • Occasional offers
    You can unsubscribe at any time, no hard feelings!

⭐ Security & fraud prevention

To keep the website safe and protect the shop (and you!) from fraud.

⭐ Legal reasons

If required to comply with local laws or to respond to legal requests.

4. Who we share your information with

I only share your info with trusted partners who help me run Agape Boheme smoothly. Examples:

  • Shopify (website hosting, payments, checkout)

  • Shipping and fulfillment partners

  • Payment processors (PayPal, credit card companies, etc.)

  • Analytics and marketing tools (for shop performance)

These partners only use your information to do their jobs; not for anything else.

I may also share information if:

  • You ask me to

  • It’s required by law

  • Needed to prevent fraud or protect the shop

5. About Shopify

Shopify stores and processes a lot of the data that comes through the shop (orders, payments, browsing behavior).
They may also use some data from across all Shopify stores to improve their services.

To see how Shopify handles your data or to exercise your rights with them, their privacy policy is here:
https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy

6. Links to external websites

Sometimes this website may link to other sites or social media.
Once you leave my website, their own privacy policies apply, so always double-check those if needed.

7. Children’s privacy

My website and products are not intended for children under the legal age of your country.
I never knowingly collect data from minors. If you think a child has provided information, please contact me so I can delete it immediately.

8. How long I keep your information

I only keep your info for as long as needed, for example:

  • To complete your order

  • For legal and tax reasons

  • To maintain your account

  • To resolve disputes

Once it’s no longer needed, I safely delete it.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights such as:

  • Access – asking what information I have about you

  • Correction – fixing incorrect info

  • Deletion – asking me to delete your data

  • Portability – requesting a copy of your data

  • Opt out – of marketing or certain types of data sharing

  • Withdraw consent – if you previously agreed to something

I will never treat you differently for using your privacy rights.

To use any of these rights, just email me at:
agapeboheme@gmail.com.

10. International transfers

Because Shopify and some partners work globally, your information may be processed in other countries.
If your data is transferred outside the EU/UK, Shopify uses legally recognized safeguards (like EU Standard Contractual Clauses).

11. Changes to this policy

I may update this policy occasionally (for example, if something changes in the shop).
If I update it, I’ll change the “last updated” date at the top.
