Privacy Policy
This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) outlines the data collection and processing activities of Copper Pearl Inc. (also referred to herein as “Copper Pearl,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) in connection with personally identifiable information as defined under applicable law(s) (also known as “personal data” or “personal information” and hereinafter referred to as “PII”). Specifically, it covers this website and any other online platforms owned and/or operated primarily by Copper Pearl (hereinafter collectively the “Site”).
SECTION 1 – WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE PII WE COLLECT FROM YOU?
When you purchase something from the Site, as part of the buying and selling process, we may collect PII such as your name, address, email address, phone number and purchase details. We use this for fulfilling customer orders and operating our business, including customer or warranty services. Where applicable, we or entities we work with may also receive website account login information and/or payment information from you.
When you browse our website or engage with our marketing, we may also collect PII such as the individual web pages or products that you view, your purchase history with us, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, whether you read emails we send you, your general location, information about how you interact with the Site, internet browsing data, or your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system. This PII helps us understand how you use our Site and gives us the feedback we need to improve it. The PII may also be used to enhance our ability to serve you and for analytics or marketing. For additional information, you may see Section 7 (titled “Cookies”) below.
With your permission, we may also collect PII such as your contact information to send you emails or SMS/MMS messages about the Site, new products, and other updates. We may also collect any PII you choose to provide us with, including your birth date and/or your pregnancy due date, regarding your order, marketing updates you sign up for, etc.
We use PII we collect to facilitate our business purposes, including the fulfillment of purchase orders, marketing, and our own internal statistics and functions. We generally keep PII for two years in connection with these purposes. We may also share your PII with third parties for the same reasons. See Section 3 for more detail.
SECTION 2 – SENSITIVE PII
What is considered “sensitive” PII depends in part on applicable law(s) but may include account log-ins, passwords, health data, your precise geolocation, or identification such as your driver’s license or social security number. Copper Pearl or third parties we work with may collect sensitive PII such as account log-ins, passwords, birthdays or pregnancy due dates to provide our goods/services and related marketing promotions. We will only collect and use such sensitive PII with your permission. We do not disclose or collect your sensitive PII for any other purposes, nor do we collect or process it with the purpose of inferring characteristics about you or other consumers.
SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE OF PII
Some PII may be shared with and/or stored by third-party providers who are contracted to provide services necessary for Copper Pearl to operate and/or to fulfill and service customer orders and requests. As an example, we provide some of your PII to third-party shipping partners to have your order shipped to you. We may also share PII with third parties for other reasons, such as:
- To better facilitate and improve our business functions, including the operation and security of our Site, customer services, and/or data management and storage;
- For assistance with marketing purposes, communications, and/or product reviews;
- When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, comply with applicable laws, investigate fraud, or respond to government request(s), and such disclosure is not otherwise prohibited by law;
- To any other third party with your prior consent to do so; or
- If Copper Pearl is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, which change you will be notified of as necessary under applicable law(s).
Some of this sharing may be done through the use of cookies, which are discussed in more detail in Section 7.
Copper Pearl does not sell PII to third parties for monetary consideration. However, there may be situations in which you have the right to opt out of certain sharing of your PII. For more information see Section 8 below.
We may also disclose your PII if we are required by law to do so.
SECTION 4 – SHOPIFY
Our Site is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your PII is (at least in part) stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall. Shopify may collect your PII for its own purposes and may also use automated decision-making to conduct risk and fraud screening.
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted. All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your PII to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us, as discussed in Section 3 above.
However, our Site may contain links or access to other third-party websites / services which are not in Copper Pearl’s control and which are covered by their own privacy policies. Copper Pearl is not responsible for these third-party sites or services. You visit and/or use them at your own risk and we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your PII will be handled by them. For example, when you use a third-party payment option such as PayPal, Amazon Pay or Afterpay to pay for orders the privacy policy and practices of that third party payment provider will apply to your PII. We also link to a third party that provides baby registry services. Should you choose to use them, we recommend you review their privacy policy as well.
Remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider your PII may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a third-party payment gateway located in the United States, your PII used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave the Site or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy. In addition, your browser may already contain cookies placed by third-party sites, including various social media platforms. Copper Pearl is not responsible for what PII such cookies may collect or what they may do with it.
SECTION 6 – SECURITY
We take reasonable precautions to protect your PII and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.
If you provide us with your credit card information it is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
SECTION 7 – COOKIES
When you visit our Site or open applicable communications with us, Copper Pearl may send cookies to your device or leverage various similar technologies including website applications (hereinafter collectively “cookies”) to serve you. We or those we work in connection with (collectively “we” or “us” for the purpose of this list) may use cookies that:
- Are essential to the operation, functionality, legal compliance, and/or security of our Site;
- Facilitate our business functions, including order fulfillment and related services, data management, diagnostics, and/or analytics;
- Help to improve the performance and/or security of our Site;
- Allow us to communicate with you, including for product reviews, surveys, or to let you know a product is back in stock;
- Allow us to facilitate advertising, to provide you with advertising relevant to you, and/or to measure the efficacy of our advertising or communications;
- Remind us who you are and help us to better understand, track, and save your preferences and/or purchase history;
- Help us better understand your visits to the Site, including how you interact with the Site and/or what websites or search terms referred you to the Site; or
- Help us better understand how you access our Site, your general location, and/or to distinguish between different visitors to the Site.
For example, our Site uses Google Analytics to help us learn about who visits our site and what pages are being looked at. Google Analytics cookies are persistent for a very short period, they are set by Google, and they track who visits the Site and from where.
As noted above, Copper Pearl’s Site is hosted by Shopify and Shopify uses its own cookies to collect PII and to help the Site function. Copper Pearl is not responsible for these cookies, but they may be viewed at https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies.
SECTION 8 – OPT-OUT
As a matter of policy, Copper Pearl Inc. does not sell PII for money. However, applicable law(s) may define the “sale” of personal data more broadly than as an exchange for money. Where that is the case, or if it is shared with a third party for cross context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising, you may opt out of the sale or sharing of your PII here: Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.
Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” or similar feature (such as Global Privacy Control signals, see https://globalprivacycontrol.org/) that signal to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Our Site recognizes Global Privacy Control signals for California residents.

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 are the age of majority in your state or province of residence and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use this Site. Consistent with the requirements of applicable law, if we learn that we have received any PII directly from a minor without his or her parent’s verified consent, we will use that PII only to respond directly to that child (or his or her parent or legal guardian) to inform the minor that he or she cannot use our services and subsequently will delete that PII.
