Finally, this Privacy Policy explains your options regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information.

The privacy policy applies to the Site. This privacy policy does not necessarily apply to any offline collection of your personal information. Please see below for details.
We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices on any website to which the Site links or that links to the Site.
INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
1. Information Collection
This privacy policy applies to personal information collected by Creatorally
.
Creatorally is bound by the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) which governs the way organizations collect, use, keep, secure and disclose personal information.
We collect information from you in several different ways on this Site. One goal in collecting personal information from you is to provide an efficient, meaningful, and customized experience. For example, we can use your personal information to:
• help make the Site easier for you to use by not having to enter information more than once.
• help you quickly find information, products, and services.
• help us create content that is most relevant to you.
• alert you to new information, products, and services that we offer.
(a) Registration and Ordering. Before using certain parts of any Site or ordering products, you must complete an online registration form. During registration, you will be prompted to provide us with certain personal information, including but not limited to your name, shipping and billing address(es), phone number, email address, and credit card number. In addition, we may also ask you for your country of residence and/or your organization’s country of operation, so we can comply with applicable laws and regulations, and for your gender. These kinds of personal information are used for billing purposes, to fulfill your orders, to communicate with you about your order and the Sites, and for internal marketing purposes. If we encounter a problem when processing your order, your personal information may be used to contact you.
(b) Email Addresses. Several locations of the Site permit you to enter your email address for purposes including but not limited to requesting us to notify you of new brands or new products; and to sign up for email newsletters and special offers.
(c) Cookies and Other Technology. Like many sites, the Site employs cookies and web beacons (also known as clear GIF technology or “action tags”) to speed your navigation of the Site, recognize you and your access privileges, and track your Site usage:
(i) Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored as text files by your Internet browser on your computer’s hard drive. Most Internet browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to refuse cookies from websites or to remove cookies from your hard drive, but if you do, you will not be able to access or use portions of the Site. We have to use cookies to enable you to select products, place them in an online shopping cart, and purchase those products. If you do this, we keep a record of your browsing activity and purchase. THE SITE’S COOKIES DO NOT AND CAN NOT INFILTRATE A USER’S HARD DRIVE TO GATHER A USER’S CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Our cookies are not “spyware.”
(ii) Web beacons assist in delivering cookies and help us determine whether a web page on the Site has been viewed and, if so, how many times. For example, any electronic image on the Site, such as an ad banner, can function as a web beacon.
(iii) We may use third-party advertising companies to help tailor site content to users or to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may employ cookies and web beacons to measure advertising effectiveness (such as which web pages are visited or what products are purchased and in what amount). Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and web beacons is not linked to any personal information collected by us.
(iv) As an example, Facebook collects certain information via cookies and web beacons to determine which web pages are visited or what products are purchased. Please note that any information collected by Facebook via cookies and web beacons is not linked to any customer's personal information collected by us.
(d) Log Files. As is true of most websites, the Site server automatically recognizes the Internet URL from which you access the Site. We may also log your Internet protocol (“IP”) address, Internet service provider, and date/time stamp for system administration, order verification, internal marketing, and system troubleshooting purposes. (An IP address may indicate the location of your computer on the Internet.)
(e) Age. We respect children’s privacy. We do not knowingly or intentionally collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Elsewhere on the Site, you have represented and warranted that you are either 18 years of age or using the Site with the supervision of a parent or guardian. If you are under the age of 13, please do not submit any personal information to us, and rely on a parent or guardian to assist you.
(f) Product Reviews. You may choose to submit a product review. If you post a review, we will ask for your email address and geographic location. If you submit a review, your geographic location will be visible to other users (your email address will be kept private). Also, any personally identifiable information that you submit as part of the review can be read or used by other visitors to the Site. We are not responsible for any personally identifiable information that you choose to submit as part of your review. We believe you can post a helpful review without disclosing any personal information.
2. Information Use and Disclosure
(a) Internal Use. We use your personal information to process your order and provide you with customer service. We may internally use your personal information to improve the site’s content and layout, to improve outreach and for our own marketing efforts (including marketing our services and products to you), and to determine general marketplace information about visitors to the Site. In order to facilitate such use and the other use described in Section 2, we may share your information with affiliates under Creatorally' s control.
(b) Communications with You: We will use your personal information to communicate with you about the Site and your orders and deliveries. Also, we may send you a confirmation email when you register with us. We may send you a service-related announcement on rare occasions when it is necessary (for example, if we must temporarily suspend our service for maintenance.) Also, you may submit your email address for reasons such as to request us to notify you of new brands or new products; or to sign up for email newsletters and special offers. If you submit your email address, we use it to deliver the information to you. We always permit you to unsubscribe or opt out of future emails. Because we have to communicate with you about orders that you choose to place, you cannot opt out of receiving emails related to your orders.
(c) External Use. We want to provide you with excellent service and offer you a great selection. We do not sell, rent, trade, license, or otherwise disclose your specific personal information or financial information to anyone other than to affiliates under Creatorally’s control, except that:
(i) As do most catalog and Internet retailers, we sometimes use others to perform specific functions on our behalf. When we disclose information to these service providers, we disclose information to help them perform their service. For example, in order to deliver products to you, we must share some information. We partner with third parties (such as the EMS Service, HongKong Post Service, and DHL Express) to ship products, to ensure delivery, and so that we can obtain feedback, improve the quality of our service, and measure and improve the quality of the service of the third party. In the example of shippers, we provide them with some personally identifiable information such as your name, shipping address, email, and phone number.
(ii) Similarly, to help you buy products and provide customer service to you, we must provide your credit card number to financial services corporations such as credit-card processors and issuers. When we submit your credit card number for authorization, we use state-of-the-art data encryption to protect your information.
(iii)We may disclose such information in response to requests from law enforcement officials conducting investigations; subpoenas; a court order; or if we are otherwise required to disclose such information by law. We also will release personal information where disclosure is necessary to protect our legal rights, enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements, or protect ourselves or others. For example, we may share information to reduce the risk of fraud or if someone uses or attempts to use the Site for illegal reasons or to commit fraud.
(iv) We will not sell (or trade or rent) personally identifiable information to other companies as part of our regular course of business. However, it’s possible that we might acquire merge with, or be acquired by another company or that we might dispose of some or all of our assets. If that happens, your personal information may be disclosed to another company, but that disclosure will be subject to the Privacy Policy in effect.
(v) We may share non-personal information (such as the number of daily visitors to a particular web page, or the size of an order placed on a certain date) with third parties such as advertising partners. This information does not directly personally identify you or any user.
3. Data processed by Third Party
3.1 Third Party’s Previous Authorization To Us
3.1.1 Microsoft, Paypal, Facebook, Gmail
When you log in at Creatorally by your account via Microsoft, Paypal, Facebook, and Gmail, we can automatically obtain your login information, because these third parties provide authority to collect your information in advance to help you log in conveniently. In order to better protect your private information, we sincerely recommend you familiarize yourself with the privacy policy provided by these third parties before you log in through your account registered at their websites. Therefore, please note that you should also take steps to protect yourself, especially online. Do not share your password with other people. Also, remember to log out of the website and close the browser window after finishing the work. If you really mind providing us with your personal information due to previous authorization, you can register for a new account at Creatorally.
3.1.2 Paypal
If you choose to pay online via "Check out with Paypal", please note that once you click the button, you will be automatically linked to the Paypal website. The personal data that you are asked to provide, including your card number, billing address, and contact information, will be collected by Paypal rather than Creatorally, although our trademarks/logos can still be seen on the website in the upper left corner. We sincerely recommend that you learn Paypal's privacy policy and choose different payment methods carefully. When you click the "Checkout with Paypal" button, Creatorally is not responsible for processing your data by Paypal.
3.2 Other third parties may have access to your information
In order to provide our customers with better products and services, we may transfer your data to two types of third parties—— Including Google, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube, and other third parties related to advertising and marketing. Your information on our website, such as the products you like to browse, may be transmitted to these third parties. You may receive communication letters about advertising and marketing in emails sent by us and/or selected third parties. You can choose not to receive marketing communication letters from us and/or selected third parties. When you don't want to receive advertisements from us and/or selected third parties, you should exit by contacting us (email) or clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in any communication e-mail you have received.
Including Paypal, MasterCard, Visa, Citibank, Dlocal, etc. third parties related to payment and delivery. If you purchase goods from our store, your payment and delivery information will be necessary for the exchange. Your information may be transmitted to and processed by the above-mentioned third parties. We promise to provide appropriate protection measures, such as encryption technology, to ensure the security of your information. This type of personal information is very important to your purchase activities, and we strongly suggest that you think carefully before you delete or object to the processing of these data.
3.3 In regard to another third party in a third country
As mentioned above, exemplary contract clauses alternative legal bases, or binding company rules will help to protect your information security. Once we discover that any third party has violated its obligations and invaded your privacy, we will immediately notify them to correct the error. If you find that a third party violates its obligations and invades your privacy because of Creatorally's errors, you can contact us for remedial measures. We promise to provide appropriate protection measures, such as encryption technology, to ensure your information security. Our customers have the right to obtain a copy of these data transmitted to a third country. If you need to realize your rights, please feel free to contact us.
3.4 In regard to third-party websites
Our website may contain links to our partner networks, advertisers, and other third-party websites. If you click on the link to any of these websites, please note that they have their own privacy policies and we will not share your information with them unless your permission or other legal basis authorizes us to do so. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites. We will not be responsible for any personal data leakage caused by these third-party websites.
DATA SECURITY
The Site incorporates physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information, including Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) for all financial transactions through the Site. We use SSL encryption to protect your personal information online, and we also take several steps to protect your personal information in our facilities. Access to your personal information is restricted. Only employees who need access to your personal information to perform a specific job are granted access to your personal information. Finally, we rely on third-party service providers for the physical security of some of our computer hardware. We believe that their security procedures are adequate. For example, when you visit the Site, you access servers that are kept in a secure physical environment, behind a locked cage and an electronic firewall.
While we use industry-standard precautions to safeguard your personal information, we cannot guarantee complete security. 100% complete security does not presently exist anywhere online or offline.
OPT-OUT/CORRECTIONS
Upon your request, we will (a) correct or update your personal information; (b) stop sending emails to your email address; and/or (c) disable your account to prevent any future purchases through that account. You can make these requests by telephoning or emailing your request to Creatorally.com’s Customer Service Team.
Please do not email your credit-card number or other sensitive information.
COLLECTION, USE & DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
As you might expect from us, the majority of information that we collect is obtained through the Site, and this Privacy Policy applies only to that online collection of personal information. We also may collect information offline, where we also try to protect the privacy of your personal information. One example involves someone calling us to place an order or to ask questions. When someone calls, we will ask only for the personal information we need in order to place the order or to answer the question. When we need to store information (such as order information), we will enter it into our database through SSL encryption. (See the Data Security section above for more information). Another example involves faxes. If you fax something to us, we will act upon the fax and then either store it in a locked repository or we will shred the fax if there is no need to retain the information. There are other ways we could learn personal information offline (for example, we suppose someone could send us a letter including some return address information), and this Policy doesn’t discuss or try to predict all of those methods or uses. As we mentioned, we will try to treat offline collection, uses, and disclosures consistently with our relevant online practices.
UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
If we change or update this Privacy Policy, we will post changes and updates on the Site so that you will always be aware of what information we collect, use, and disclose. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy from time to time so you will know if the Privacy Policy has been changed or updated. If you have any questions about the Privacy Policy, please contact our customer service.
