Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 28, 2022
Karen Chau Designs LLC (the "Company", "we", or "us") take online privacy seriously and we respect the concerns of our users. In this policy (the “Privacy Policy”) we describe our privacy practices with regard to information we collect through KarenChauDesigns.com (the "Site") to help you make informed decisions about how you share information when you visit or use the site, as well as your rights in determining what we do with the information that we collect or hold about you.
What information we may collect
Information you may choose to provide to us
We may collect information, including personal data, directly from you if you choose to provide that information. For example, you may provide us with your name and contact information (such as an email address), or other details of that nature, when you participate in promotions or surveys on the Site.
Information that is automatically collected when you visit the Site
When you access the Site, we may automatically collect certain information about your visit using cookies and other similar technologies to help us analyze the use and performance of our website and services.
We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website. Google Analytics gathers information about website use by means of cookies. The information gathered relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of our website. Google’s privacy policy is available at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.
A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed. Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies and to delete cookies. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser, and from version to version. You can however obtain up-to-date information about blocking and deleting cookies via these links:
