Nutmeg and Binky's respects your privacy. Most importantly, this means that we safeguard any personal information you choose to share with us, and we will never sell your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. For specifics on the types of information we collect, what we do with it, and the choices you can make, read on.
We take your privacy very seriously. We do not store sensitive data, and we only collect personally-identifiable information that you voluntarily provide to us. We take all reasonable precautions to safeguard your personal information.
In the terms of the GDPR, we consider it to be in our legitimate interest to collect and store your name, address, phone number, email address, order history, emails you have sent us, website contact forms you have submitted, and comments and reviews you have posted on our website. We use this information to answer your questions, process your orders, provide ongoing customer service, improve our products and website, and research historical trends.
We do not use this information to profile you, and we will never sell or share it without your permission, except as required by law. We do transmit certain information to our trusted partners in order to fulfill our contracts with you. For example, we may share your name, address, and email address with a shipping carrier in order to have them ship your order and email you a tracking number.
We are also concerned with safeguarding your time, freedom, and personal space, which means that outside of responding to your direct requests, we will only contact you if necessary for processing an order, or if we legitimately believe it is in your best interest (for example, if we ever need to do a product recall). We do not buy or sell mailing or contact lists, and we do not engage in cold calling. We will not add you to any of our own marketing lists without your express permission. If you choose to subscribe to our email list, you may unsubscribe at any time.
We use an online shopping cart service (Foxy.io) and gateway (CDG) in order to securely process credit card information without ever seeing it or storing it ourselves. (See below for more details.)
You have the right to ask us what information we are storing about you and how we are using it, and you can request that we correct inaccurate information. You may also request to be “forgotten” (i.e. to have all your personal data deleted), but there may be circumstances (such as the legal requirement to keep tax records for a certain period of time) that prevent us from complying with this request. We have the right to ask you for more information in order to verify your identity before responding to such requests.
Nutmegandbinky.com places some small text files called cookies in the browser directory of your computer's hard drive when you visit our website. A cookie contains a record of your visit, which enables certain website functions like shopping carts to be used, and generally provides a quicker and smoother browsing experience. Nutmeg and Binky's does not make use of advertising cookies, or otherwise track your activity for the purposes of marketing. We use some essential cookies to enable our website functionality and to provide a satisfying user experience, and we may also use anonymous tracking cookies to collect statistics on how our customers use our website.
If you decide to, you can choose settings in your browser to disallow cookies, although in this case some pages may not display properly and certain website functions, such as shopping, may not be available to you. You can also use your browser to delete cookies after leaving our website.
Persistent cookies have an expiration date sometime in the future, and will be stored in your browser until they expire or you manually clear them. Session cookies are set to expire when you close your browser window, although certain browsers may have settings that interfere with this behavior. You may want to check your browser for settings such as Chrome’s “continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed,” which may result in session cookies being stored indefinitely.
Essential Cookies
Our shopping cart service, Foxy.io, places a cookie on your device in order to enable the shopping cart functionality to work. If you disable cookies, the shopping cart will not remember what items you have added to it. This is a session cookie that does not contain any personally-identifying information. The cookie is called fcsid.
Statistical Cookies
Nutmeg and Binky's uses Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about visitors to our website. The types of data collected include what website you came from, what kind of computer or device you are using, your general geographic location, a portion of your IP address (but not the full address), and a number of other similar things. To do this, Google places cookies on your computer. Certain of these cookies assign a unique client ID to your device and browser, which Google uses to recognize you on repeat visits for statistical analysis purposes. This is a randomly-generated number that cannot in any reasonable way be used to identify you personally. The data collected is used only to create aggregate statistics for analyzing how users interact with our site. This allows us to tailor the site to better serve our customers' interests. For more information on Google Analytics' privacy and security policies, visit this link. For information on opting out of Google Analytics' data collection, visit this link. The cookies Google Analytics sets are called _ga, _gat, and _gid. _ga is stored for two years, and the others are session cookies.
Other Third Party Cookies
We may embed YouTube videos on our website. We use the youtube-nocookie.com url, which means that YouTube will not set any cookies when you visit a page with an embedded video, or when you play an embedded video.
We may also use Google’s reCAPTCHA widget to make sure our website contact forms are not being submitted by spam robots. When you check the “I’m not a robot” box before submitting a form, Google places one or more cookies on your computer, which may be used by Google to personalize ads on its advertising network. To be completely honest, we don’t know exactly what else Google might collect through reCAPTCHA, and their privacy policy is fairly broad. If you do not want these cookies to be set, please contact us by phone or email instead of using our website form.
Nutmeg and Binky's may collect and store personal information that you voluntarily provide, such as name, address, phone number and email address. This information is used to provide customer service. We will not share, sell or disclose your personal information to anyone else, except as noted under "Other Disclosures" below. We do not use any of this information for marketing purposes. We do store emails and contact form submissions, and we may take notes on a phone call, but phone calls are not recorded.
Please see the above section on cookies for more information about the spam-control widget we use with our online contact forms.
Our review widget is hosted by EmbedSocial, and you can read their privacy policy here. Your name, rating, and review text will be displayed on our website. Your email address will be collected and stored, but not displayed. We never share or sell contact information, and we will never add you to an email list without your express consent. You have the right to ask us to delete a review and the associated email address, and we may take reasonable steps to verify that you are the owner of the review. To remove a review, please contact us at nutmeg@nutmegandbinky.com.
When you purchase something online, Nutmeg and Binky's collects and stores your name, address, phone number, email address, payment type (but not credit card details), and order history. This information is used to process your order and to contact you if we have questions about the order. We may send you newsletters and promotional materials, but only if you have voluntarily chosen to receive them. You can contact us at any time to be removed from our email list. We may also share certain information, such as name and address, with trusted partners in order to do things like process payments or arrange the shipping of items you purchase from us. We will not share, sell or disclose your personal information for any other reason, and we take all reasonable precautions to keep your information secure.
The checkout page of our website is securely hosted by FoxyCart.com, which is a PCI Compliant Level 1 Service Provider. This means that all information entered on the checkout page, including credit card details, is secured at the highest standards, and that Nutmeg and Binky's itself does not see or store your credit card number. For more information on FoxyCart's security standards, visit this link. FoxyCart will not contact you except with the express permission of Nutmeg and Binky's, and FoxyCart will never share or sell your personal information. In order to process transactions, FoxyCart may log your IP address, set cookies (see “essential cookies” section above), and send your encrypted information to a payment processor. FoxyCart also collects anonymous information, used in an aggregate form to calculate statistics. Foxycart's privacy policy can be accessed here.
We reserve the right to disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, or if we believe that such an action is reasonably necessary to protect the rights or safety of our company, employees, customers or the public.
We may provide links to other websites, and those other sites may have different privacy practices than Nutmeg and Binky's does. We assume no responsibility for the policies of linked sites, and encourage you to investigate them for yourself.
Our website is appropriate for visitors of any age. However, Nutmeg and Binky's does not intend to collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you should not enter information on this website, and should ask a parent or guardian to do so for you.
We will occasionally update this Privacy Statement to reflect company and customer feedback, and we encourage you to check back periodically to stay informed of how Nutmeg and Binky's is protecting your information.
If you have any questions or concerns, or if you believe that Nutmeg and Binky's has not adhered to this statement, please contact us at nutmeg@nutmegandbinky.com or 7511 Greenwood Ave N #716, Seattle, WA 98103.
