AETHERPrivacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how personal information may be collected, used, disclosed, and protected when you visit aetherpieces.com, shop with AETHER, communicate with us, or use related services. For questions about how your information is handled, contact [email protected].
1. Information We Collect
Depending on how you use our services, we may collect contact and order details (such as name, email, shipping and billing addresses, telephone number, purchased items, and order history); account details where accounts are supported; communications and customer-service requests; transaction confirmations and limited payment-related information from providers; and device and usage information (such as IP address, browser, pages viewed, referring links, approximate location, and cookie identifiers).
2. Where Information Comes From
We collect information you provide directly, information generated when you use our website, and relevant information received from payment, delivery, analytics, advertising, and fraud-prevention partners, where used and permitted by law.
3. How We Use Information
We use personal information to process and deliver orders; collect and reconcile payments; communicate about purchases, returns, and support; maintain site performance and security; detect misuse; manage our business; comply with legal obligations; and send marketing communications where you have opted in or where otherwise lawful.
4. Cookies and Analytics
We may use essential cookies to operate shopping features and, where implemented, analytics and advertising technologies to understand site traffic, improve usability, and measure campaigns. Some services may record interactions with pages or sessions. Where legally required, we seek consent before using non-essential cookies and provide appropriate choice controls. Browser settings may also allow you to restrict cookies. Your available choices will depend on the cookies and services active on the website.
5. Payment Information and Partners
AETHER is a jewelry brand owned and operated by HKS Technology Limited, the legal business entity responsible for operating aetherpieces.com. Payments may be processed or received under the name HKS Technology Limited or another name disclosed during checkout, depending on the payment arrangement. Independent payment-service providers process payment information under their own privacy notices. The name on your statement may differ from the AETHER brand name; please refer to your checkout confirmation and receipt and contact us if you do not recognize a charge.
6. Sharing of Information
We may share information with providers who help deliver the website, process payments, detect fraud, arrange shipping, support customers, provide analytics, or perform other necessary services; with professional advisers; and with public authorities when legally required. We do not disclose personal information to unrelated parties for their own purposes without a valid legal basis or required notice/choice. Specific advertising disclosures must reflect actual practices.
7. International Processing
Information may be processed in locations outside your state or country. Where law requires additional protections for cross-border data transfers, we take appropriate steps consistent with the applicable legal requirements and service arrangements.
8. Data Retention
We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary to complete transactions, provide support, maintain records, address disputes, prevent fraud, and comply with applicable legal duties. Retention varies by information type and purpose, and is not necessarily the same for all records.
9. Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, receive, or restrict certain uses of your personal information, or to withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. You may also have rights related to targeted advertising, sales/sharing, or automated decision-making. These rights are subject to applicable exceptions. To make a request, contact [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity and will respond within applicable legal deadlines.
10. Marketing Choices
You can unsubscribe from promotional emails using the link included in the message or by contacting us. Service emails that are necessary for transactions may continue even if you opt out of marketing.
11. Children's Privacy
Our services are intended for a general shopping audience and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the website. Contact us if you believe a child has provided information.
12. Information Security
We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or loss. No internet service can promise absolute security.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our services or legal obligations change. We will post the latest version with a revised effective date and provide additional notice where legally required.
