Who We Are

Welcome to The Haircessorize, your destination for premium hair and beauty accessories. Our website address is: https://www.thehaircessorize.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a secure shopping experience.

Comments

When you leave comments on our site, such as product reviews or blog posts, we collect the data shown in the comment form, including your name, email address, and the comment content. We also collect your IP address and browser user agent string to help detect and prevent spam.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, such as for product reviews or user-generated content, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images, which may compromise your privacy.

Cookies

To enhance your shopping experience, we use cookies on our website:

If you leave a comment or review, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year, so you don’t need to re-enter your details for future comments.
When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
Upon logging into your account, we set cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for one year. If you select "Remember Me," your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
If you edit or publish content, such as a blog post, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data, only the post ID of the edited content, and expires after one day.
Our WooCommerce store uses cookies to manage your cart, track your session, and personalize your shopping experience. These cookies are essential for the website’s functionality.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Our website may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or social media posts (e.g., from Instagram or YouTube). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the originating website. These third-party websites may collect data, use cookies, or track your interaction with the content, especially if you are logged into their services. Please review the privacy policies of these third-party providers for more details.

Who We Share Your Data With

We share your data only as necessary to provide our services:

Payment Processors: When you make a purchase, your payment information is processed by secure third-party payment gateways (e.g., PayPal, Stripe). We do not store your payment details.
Shipping Partners: To fulfill orders, we share your name, address, and contact details with trusted shipping providers.
Analytics and Marketing Tools: We use tools like Google Analytics to understand website usage and improve our services. These tools may collect anonymized data about your browsing behavior.
Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to ensure a safe and authentic user experience.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

Comments and their metadata (e.g., product reviews) are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
For registered users, we store the personal information provided in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except your username). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.
Order data, including your name, address, and purchase history, is retained for seven years to comply with tax and accounting regulations.
