You don't have to give us any of this personal information but if you don't, you may not be able to buy from the site, and you are unlikely to receive our best customer experience. We also anonymize and aggregate personal information (so that it does not identify you) and use it for purposes including testing our IT systems, research, data analysis, improving our site, developing new products and services. During registration and participation in site promotions, you are required to give truthful contact and demographic information. By providing your personal information to us during your registration and thereafter during use of the site, you expressly consent to Aworanka's collection, use, and storage of such information as stated in this Privacy Policy. If you wish to discontinue non-transactional email correspondence with us at any time, simply follow the instruction to "Unsubscribe" which appears in the emails we send, or contact us at [email protected].

Sharing is caring

We do not, and will not, sell any of your personal data to any third party including your name, address, email, or credit card information. We want to earn and maintain your trust, and we believe this is absolutely essential in order to do that. However, we share your data with the following groups of companies as an essential part of being able to provide our services to you, as set out in this statement:

  1. Companies that do things to get your purchases to you, such as payment service providers, warehouses, order packers, and delivery companies.
  2. Professional service providers, such as marketing agencies, advertising partners, and website hosts, who help us run our business.
  3. Credit reference agencies, law enforcement, and fraud prevention agencies, so we can help tackle fraud.
  4. Companies approved by you, such as social media sites.
  5. We may provide third parties with aggregated but anonymized information and analytics about our customers and, before we do so, we will make sure that it does not identify you.

Marketing messages

If you have said we can, we'll send you marketing messages by email or text, to keep you up to date of what we're up to and to help you see and find our products. You can stop receiving marketing messages from us at any time. You can do this by simply following the instruction to "Unsubscribe" which appears in the emails we send or contact us at [email protected]. Once you do this, we will update your profile to ensure that you don't receive further marketing messages. Please note that, as Aworanka comprises a complex web of many inter-connecting services, it might take a few days for all our systems to be updated, so you might get messages from us while we process your request. Stopping marketing messages will not stop service communications (such as order updates or where you have expressed an interest in a specific type of product). We also engage in online advertising, also to keep you aware of what we're up to and to help you see and find our products. Like many companies, we target Aworanka banners and ads to you when you are on other websites and apps. We do this using a variety of digital marketing networks and ad exchanges, and we use a range of advertising technologies like web beacons, pixels, ad tags, cookies, and mobile identifiers, as well as specific services offered by some sites and social networks, such as Facebook's Custom Audience service. The banners and ads you see will be based on information we hold about you, or your previous use of Aworanka (for example, your Aworanka search history, and the content you checked on Aworanka), or on Aworanka banners or ads you have previously clicked on.

Keeping your information

We'll hold on to your information for as long as you have your account, or as long as is needed to be able to provide the services to you, or (in the case of any contact you may have with our Customer Care team) for as long as is necessary to provide support-related reporting and trend analysis. If reasonably necessary or required to meet legal or regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our terms and conditions, we may also keep hold of some of your information as required, even after you have closed your account or it is no longer needed to provide the services to you.

Your rights

You have a lot of rights relating to your personal information:

  1. The right to be informed about how your personal information is being used.
  2. The right to access the personal information we hold about you.
  3. The right to request the correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
  4. The right to request that we delete your data, or stop processing it or collecting it, in some circumstances.
  5. The right to stop direct marketing messages.

If you want to exercise your rights, have a complaint, or just have questions, please contact us at [email protected].
