The Alchemist’s Code

At Alchème, we treat your personal information with the same integrity as our formulas: pure, protected, and free of unnecessary fillers. We believe that your privacy is sacred. This page outlines exactly what we collect, why we collect it, and how we guard it.

1. What We Collect (The Essentials)

We only collect information that is absolutely necessary to bring the ritual to your door. When you visit our Apothecary or make a purchase, we may collect:

• Identity Data: Your name (so we know who you are).
• Contact Data: Your email address and phone number (so we can send tracking updates).
• Delivery Data: Your shipping address (so the postman finds the right porch).
• Transaction Data: Details about payments and products you have purchased.Note: We never see or store your full credit card number. All payments are processed through secure, encrypted gateways (like Shopify Payments).

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your information solely to fulfill the Alchème experience:

• Processing Orders: To brew, pack, and ship your products.
• Communication: To send you order confirmations, shipping updates, and (only if you have joined the "Inner Circle") our newsletter.
• Improvement: To understand how visitors use our site so we can make the experience smoother.

3. Sharing (No Shadowy Deals)

We do not sell your data. We are in the business of skincare, not surveillance.
We only share your data with trusted partners who help us run the shop, such as:

• Shopify: Our hosting platform (to keep the lights on).
• Shipping Carriers: USPS/UPS (so they can deliver your package).
• Payment Processors: To securely handle the transaction.

4. Digital Cookies

Like almost every shop on the internet, our site uses "cookies" (small data files). We don't use these to spy on you; we use them to make the shop function. They help the site remember what is in your cart and keep you logged in while you browse.

5. Your Rights

You are the owner of your data.

• Unsubscribe: You can leave our email list at any time by clicking "Unsubscribe" at the bottom of any email.
• Access & Delete: If you wish to see what data we hold on you, or request that we delete it from our records, simply email us at [Insert Your Email Here].

6. Updates

As our apothecary grows, this policy may change slightly to comply with new laws. Any major changes will be posted here.
