Updated: February 19th, 2024

The website Orebella (found at www.orebella.com) is run by BKH Essential LLC. At Orebella, we know how important it is to keep your personal details safe. That's why we've made rules (called a "Privacy Policy") to protect the information you give us when you visit our site.

Here's what you should know:

  • We take good care of the personal details you share with us.
  • This Privacy Policy only covers information you give on our website. If you give us information in other ways, this policy doesn't apply.
  • We might change this Privacy Policy from time to time. You can see when we last updated it by checking the date at the top of this page.

And just to clarify, we don't have any mobile apps.

What We Collect

Your Personal Details:

  • We've also noted which websites you visit, what you search for, and how you interact with ads.

  • If you inquire into our services or otherwise reach out to us, we may collect the information about you including the information you provide directly.

Your Payment Details:

  • If you buy something, you'll give your payment details to Shopify, not us. They handle all the money stuff. We might see the last four digits of your card, but that's it. Check out Shopify’s rules at www.shopify.com.

Your Computer's Address (IP Address):

  • Every computer has a unique address. We see it, but we don't link it to your personal information. We might use it to stop anyone causing trouble or to fix website issues.

Other Info We Collect Automatically:

  • When you visit our website, we collect some general info. This includes when you visited, where you're visiting from, and what you do on our site. We use this to make our website better.

Third-Party Help:

  • We work with other companies to run our website and collect data. They might use cookies (small data files) to gather anonymous info about how people use our site. They've promised only to use this info to help us and not for their own reasons.

Using Cookies and Tracking Tools on Our Website

Our website uses a few tools to enhance your experience:

  1. Cookies: These are small files we send to your computer. They remember your visits and preferences on our site.
  2. Web Beacons: These are tiny images that help us see what parts of our site you visit.
  3. Pixel Tags: These track your activity on our site, like the links you click.

If you'd rather not have these cookies, you can manage or delete them using our cookie banner through the privacy choices link below or at the bottom of the site. Also, you can check the "Help" section in your browser or the settings on your mobile device. Just remember, if you turn off cookies, some parts of our site might not work as smoothly.

We also use a tool called Google Analytics. It shows us how visitors interact with our site without revealing their identities. If you provide your contact info to Google Analytics, they might connect it to your activity on our site. To learn more about Google Analytics or to opt-out, click here and here.

We might add other tools in the future to help us understand our website better. Always feel free to use our cookie banner to manage your preferences.

Ads Based on Your Interests

Orebella allows some other companies to put cookies on our website. These cookies track what you do on our site. Why? So that when you visit other websites, you can see ads that match your interests. This is called "ads based on your interests." The rules for these other companies aren't in our Privacy Policy. But we follow guidelines from the Digital Advertising Alliance about this kind of advertising. If you don't want these personalized ads, you can choose to stop them using our cookie banner on our website. You can also learn more or opt-out of these ads by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices or www.networkadvertising.org/choices.

Chatting on Our Website

We have a chat tool on our website. It lets you talk to our automated helpers, and sometimes real people, to get help or answers to your questions. Just so you know, we might save these chat conversations. If you use the chat, it means you're okay with us recording the conversation. If you don't want to be recorded, please don't use the chat.

"Do Not Track" Browser Setting

Some web browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature. It tells websites you visit that you don't want them to track what you do online. But, there's no standard way for browsers to do this yet. So, our website doesn't change anything when it sees this signal. If a common method is agreed upon in the future, we might change how our site responds to it.

  • Saying Yes to Texts: If you sign up for our marketing texts, either on our website or by texting us, you're saying it's okay for us to send you promotional messages.

Disclosing Your Info: When and Why

Here's a simpler explanation of when and why we might disclose your personal information:

  • To provide and improve our products: We may disclose your information with vendors or service providers, for example, we may disclose personal information to vendors that help us communicate with you (e.g., our email service provider, chatbot provider).
  • Advertising and marketing: We may disclose your information to help us with our marketing needs. Additionally, third parties may obtain your information via cookies and other similar tracking technologies on our website for their own advertising purposes.
  • Following the Law: Sometimes, we might have to share your info because the law says so. This could be to follow rules in different countries or to work with legal authorities.
  • Safety and Security: If we think someone's safety is at risk, or if there's potential illegal activity or fraud, we might share your details to help sort things out.
  • Terms and Conditions: If someone breaks our rules (the Terms and Conditions of Use), we might need to share their info.
  • Outside Your Country: Just a heads up, your info might be stored or looked at in countries other than where you live. Authorities in those places might access it too.

In short, we only share your info when it's really necessary, either for safety reasons or because the law requires it.

Disclosing Your Info: The Basics

Let's break this down into simpler terms:

  • Working with Other Companies: Sometimes, Orebella works with other companies to help us out. This could be for things like computer work, legal advice, or accounting. When we do this, we might share your info with them. But, we make sure they promise to keep it secret and only use it for the job we gave them.
  • We Don't ‘Sell’ Your Info: We don't sell your personal information for any kind of compensation. But, because of how some U.S. state laws define "selling" or "sharing" info, the ads and tracking technology on our website might count as a "sale or share." Don't worry, you can choose not to allow these cookies through our cookie preference center in this policy or website footer.
  • Aggregated Info: We might share information that doesn't reveal who you are. This could be data that's been aggregated with other people's info or made anonymous to keep your identity safe. We do this in a way that follows privacy laws.
  • Anonymous Info: We might also share info that doesn't directly identify anyone. This could be combined with similar info from other sources. We use this kind of info to help us understand our users better and improve our website.

In short, we're careful with your info. We only share it when needed, and we make sure it's protected.

What Happens to Your Info if Our Business Changes Hands?

Let's simplify that:

  • Business Changes: If Orebella decides to merge with another company, gets bought, restructures, or faces any major business changes, your data might be part of the deal. This includes all the details we've collected on our website, even your personal info.
  • Worst-Case Scenario: If something bad happens to Orebella, like going out of business or facing bankruptcy, the same thing applies. The company that takes over can use your info, but they have to follow this Privacy Policy.
  • We'll Let You Know: If any of this happens, we'll put a notice on our website. We might also reach out in other ways if the law says we have to.

In short, if our business changes hands, your info might too. But the new owners will have to follow the same rules we do.

How Long Do We Keep Your Info?

  • Why We Keep It: We hold onto your personal information to provide our services, for record-keeping, and for other reasons we've mentioned before.
  • Getting Rid of It: There might come a time when Orebella decides to delete, erase, or make your info anonymous. Once it's made anonymous, we promise not to identify it again.
  • Specifics: For more details on how long we keep your info, check out the retention policies in this Privacy Policy.

In short, we keep your info for as long as we need it, but we might decide to delete or anonymize it later.

Links and Social Media on Our Website

  • Links to Other Sites: Our website has links to other websites and apps, perhaps like our social media platforms. These sites might ask for your info or automatically collect some details (like your IP address).
  • Different Rules: Remember, these sites might have their own privacy rules. So, their way of handling your info might be different from ours. It's a good idea to check out their privacy policies to know what they do with your data.
  • Social Media Features: We might have some cool social media buttons and widgets on our site, like the Facebook “like” button. When you use these, they might collect info like your IP address or which page you're on. They might also use cookies to work properly.
  • Who's Hosting: These social media features could be hosted by another company or directly by us. How they handle your info is based on their own privacy policies. So, if you're using these features, you might want to read up on their policies too.

The Bottom Line: when you click on links or use social media features on our site, you're interacting with other platforms that might have different privacy rules. Always good to stay informed!

How We Keep Your Info Safe

  • Our Promise: At Orebella, we're serious about keeping your personal information safe. We follow the rules and use the best practices to protect your info.
  • Safety Measures: We use top-notch security tools like firewalls and SSL certificates. Plus, only a few people in our team can access your info. All this info is stored in servers right here in the U.S.
  • But, A Heads Up: Even with all these measures, the internet isn't 100% safe. So, if something goes wrong (like a tech glitch or a hacker), we can't be held responsible. But we'll do our best to prevent that!
  • If Something Goes Wrong: If we ever think there's been a security issue and your info might have been exposed, we'll let you know ASAP. We'll post an update on our website and, if we can, we'll also send you an email.

The Bottom Line: We're doing everything we can to keep your details safe. But remember, the online world has its risks, so always be cautious!
