Privacy & Data Protection Policy

Last Modified: June 6, 2026

At Allison Alane Jewelry Designs, Ltd. ("Allison Alane Jewelry," "the studio," "we," "us," or "our"), we have a profound respect for your privacy. Just as we care for the integrity of the fine jewelry we craft, we are equally committed to protecting the personal data you entrust to us.

This policy outlines how we collect, utilize, preserve, and safeguard your information when you visit allisonalane.com (our "Website"), purchase our collections, or correspond with our studio via email, text, or other electronic messages.

Section 1: Information We Collect & How We Collect It

To provide a seamless, personalized experience, we collect two distinct forms of information from our guests:

Personally Identifiable Information: This includes details you actively share with us—such as your name, billing and shipping addresses, telephone number, email address, and financial or payment details required to fulfill your orders.
Ancillary Browsing Information: This includes non-identifying data gathered automatically as you navigate our boutique, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and behavioral tracking details regarding how you interact with our pages.

Methods of Collection:

Directly from You: When you create an account, subscribe to our studio newsletter, request a custom bespoke design, or complete an archival purchase.
Automatically via Technology: As you explore our site, we employ cookies, unique session tokens, and analytics tools to understand your preferences and speed up your searches.

Section 2: Consent & E-Commerce Integrity

Your Consent When you provide personal details to verify your payment method, place an order, arrange a secure delivery, or coordinate a studio return, we imply that you consent to our collecting and utilizing that data for that specific transaction alone.

For secondary interactions, such as joining our newsletter or receiving intimate studio updates, we will explicitly ask for your expressed consent or provide you with an immediate opportunity to decline.

Withdrawing Consent Should you change your mind after opting into our correspondence, you may gracefully withdraw your consent for the continued collection or use of your data at any time by contacting us directly at info@allisonalane.com.

Section 3: Our Shopify Framework & Transaction Security

Our online boutique is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides the secure e-commerce platform allowing us to share our work with you. Your data is preserved behind a secure firewall within Shopify's encrypted data storage systems.

Payment Encryption & PCI-DSS Standards If you complete your acquisition via a direct payment gateway, your credit card data is fully encrypted using Secure Socket Layer technology (SSL) and stored with advanced AES-256 encryption.

All direct payment gateways adhere strictly to the standards managed by the PCI Security Standards Council (a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover).
Your transaction details are retained only as long as necessary to fulfill your purchase, after which they are safely deleted.

Section 4: Third-Party Ecosystems & Analytics

In general, the third-party partners we employ (such as delivery couriers and payment processors) will only collect and utilize your details to the extent necessary to perform their dedicated services for our studio.

Independent Gateways: Certain payment processing networks maintain independent privacy protocols. We encourage you to review their terms to understand how your transaction data is managed.
Google Analytics: We utilize Google Analytics to quietly observe how guests discover our site and interact with our collections, allowing us to refine the digital studio experience.
External Links: If you click an external link that redirects you away from allisonalane.com, you are no longer governed by our studio's Privacy Policy or Terms of Service.

Section 5: Digital Cookies & Tracking Preferences

To ensure our boutique remembers your selections (such as pieces resting in your cart), we employ standard cookies. You may choose to opt-out or adjust your browser settings to refuse these cookies, though some sections of our site may lose a degree of functionality.

A brief look at the primary cookies we utilize:

_session_id & _secure_session_id: Unique tokens that allow Shopify to remember your current session details (your landing page, referral source, etc.).
cart: A persistent token retained for two weeks to hold the contents of your shopping cart.
_shopify_visit & _shopify_uniq: Non-identifying tokens that measure site traffic and count individual visitor frequencies.
storefront_digest: Used if our boutique requires a temporary studio access password.

Section 6: Disclosure & Legal Boundaries

We treat your personal details with the utmost discretion. We will never sell or rent your information. We will only disclose your personal information under the following rare circumstances:

If required to do so by an authorized court order, regulatory body, or governing law.
To enforce or apply our Terms of Sale or protect the rights, property, and safety of Allison Alane Jewelry, our artisans, or our clientele.
To trusted contractors and service providers who assist us in operating our business and fulfilling your shipments, under strict confidentiality agreements.

Section 7: Age of Consent & Protection of Minors

Our Website is curated for an adult audience and is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 13. By utilizing this site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence. If you believe a minor has shared personal details with our studio, please alert us at info@allisonalane.com so we may swiftly erase it.

Section 8: Your California Privacy Rights

Pursuant to California Civil Code Section § 1798.83, guests who reside in California are entitled to request certain disclosures regarding any personal information shared with third parties for marketing purposes. To initiate this inquiry, please connect with us at info@allisonalane.com.

Section 9: Policy Refinements & Contact Details

We reserve the right to modify this privacy framework at our discretion to align with changing maritime, privacy, and digital laws. Updates take effect immediately upon posting to this page. Should we make material modifications, we will place a gentle notice on our homepage to keep you informed.
