Privacy Policy | Ewe and Me Essentials

At Ewe and Me Essentials, your trust matters as much as our craft. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have — in plain English, the way we’d want it explained to us.

Information We Collect

We collect only what we need to run our little shop and take good care of you:

Order & contact details you provide at checkout — your name, shipping and billing address, email address, and phone number (if provided).
Payment information — processed securely by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
Account information — if you create an account, your login email and a securely stored password, plus your saved addresses and order history.
Order information — the products you buy, order totals, and history, so we can fulfill and support your purchases.
Device & usage information — basic technical details like your browser type, device, and general location (from your IP address), along with pages visited and time on site.
Cart & browsing preferences — saved in your browser’s local storage so we can remember items you’ve added and offers you’ve seen.

How We Use Your Information

To process, fulfill, and deliver your orders.
To communicate with you about your purchase and provide customer support.
To manage your account, if you choose to create one.
To send marketing or product updates — only if you’ve opted in, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
To prevent fraud, keep our store secure, and meet our legal obligations.
To improve our products, website, and overall shopping experience.

Payment Processing (Stripe)

All payments are processed by Stripe, a trusted, PCI-compliant third-party payment provider. When you check out, your payment details are sent directly to Stripe and handled under their security standards. We do not see or store your full card number on our servers. Stripe’s handling of your information is governed by their own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review.

Cookies & Local Storage

We use your browser’s local storage (and may use cookies) for a few specific reasons:

To keep your shopping cart between page visits.
To remember whether you’ve made a purchase before, so we can offer first-order benefits like free shipping.
To save your consent preferences so we don’t ask you again every visit.

If you decline the consent prompt, we’ll skip any non-essential storage. You’ll still get cart functionality (which is required to shop), but features like first-order tracking won’t be applied. You can clear all stored data at any time through your browser settings.

Analytics

We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our website — things like which pages are popular and how people find us. This information is used in aggregate to improve our store and is not used to personally identify you. Where these tools are provided by third parties, their use of data is governed by their own privacy policies.

Marketing Emails

If you opt in, we may send occasional emails about new products, restocks, or special offers. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. Opting out of marketing does not affect transactional emails, like order confirmations and shipping updates, which we send as part of fulfilling your order.

Customer Accounts

Creating an account is optional. If you do, you can save your addresses and view your order history for a faster checkout next time. You’re responsible for keeping your login details secure, and you can request that we delete your account at any time by contacting us.

Third-Party Services

We share limited information with trusted service providers only as needed to run our business, including:

Stripe, to securely process payments.
Shipping carriers, to deliver your order (they receive your name and shipping address).
Email and analytics providers, to send communications you’ve requested and understand site usage.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, including secure connections and limiting who can access your data. That said, no method of transmitting or storing information over the internet is ever completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to keep your account details private.

Your Rights & Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

Access the personal information we hold about you.
Request corrections to anything that’s inaccurate.
Request deletion of your account and associated data.
Opt out of marketing communications at any time.
Withdraw your consent for non-essential storage by clearing your browser data.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at care@eweandmeessentials.com and we’ll respond as soon as we can.

Children’s Privacy

Our website and products are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we’ll delete it.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. For any material changes, we’ll do our best to notify you directly.
