BeautybyKat.Store (“BeautybyKat,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is operated by Total Reliance for Construction, Trade and Consultancy W.L.L., a company registered in the Kingdom of Bahrain (“Total Reliance”), which is the data controller responsible for your personal information under this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit, use, or make a purchase or other transaction using the Services or otherwise communicate with us. If there is a conflict between our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy controls with respect to the collection, processing, and disclosure of your personal information.

This Privacy Policy is written to comply with Bahrain's Personal Data Protection Law (Legislative Decree No. 30 of 2018) (“PDPL”). Where you access the Services from outside Bahrain, additional rights available under the law of your own country (for example, the EU/UK GDPR or applicable US state privacy laws) may also apply to you, and are noted below where relevant.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using and accessing any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Personal Information We Collect or Process

When we use the term “personal information,” we are referring to information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to you or another person. Personal information does not include information that is collected anonymously or that has been de-identified, so that it cannot identify or be reasonably linked to you. We may collect or process the following categories of personal information, including inferences drawn from this personal information, depending on how you interact with the Services, where you live, and as permitted or required by applicable law:

•        Contact details, including your name, address, billing address, shipping address, phone number, and email address.

•        Financial information, including credit card, debit card, and financial account numbers, payment card information, financial account information, transaction details, form of payment, payment confirmation and other payment details. Card payment data is collected and processed by Shopify's PCI-compliant payment processor; we do not store full card numbers ourselves.

•        Account information, including your username, password, security questions, preferences and settings.

•        Transaction information, including the items you view, put in your cart, add to your wishlist, or purchase, return, exchange or cancel, and your past transactions.

•        Communications with us, including the information you include in communications with us, for example, when sending a customer support inquiry.

•        Skin, beauty, and product-preference information you voluntarily share with us, for example through a skincare quiz, product review, or customer support conversation. We only collect this where you choose to provide it, and we treat it as sensitive information requiring your explicit consent.

•        Device information, including information about your device, browser, or network connection, your IP address, and other unique identifiers.

•        Usage information, including information regarding your interaction with the Services, including how and when you interact with or navigate the Services.

2. Personal Information Sources

We may collect personal information from the following sources:

•        Directly from you, including when you create an account, visit or use the Services, communicate with us, or otherwise provide us with your personal information;

•        Automatically through the Services, including from your device when you use our products or services or visit our websites, and through the use of cookies and similar technologies;

•        From our service providers, including when we engage them to enable certain technology and when they collect or process your personal information on our behalf;

•        From our partners or other third parties.

3. Our Legal Basis for Processing

Under Bahrain's PDPL, our default legal basis for collecting and processing your personal information is your consent. By providing your personal information to us and using the Services, you consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of that information as described in this Privacy Policy. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us using the details in the Contact section below, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before your withdrawal. In limited circumstances, we may also process personal information where necessary to perform a contract with you (for example, to fulfil an order), to comply with a legal obligation, or to protect your vital interests.

4. How We Use Your Personal Information

Depending on how you interact with us or which of the Services you use, we may use personal information for the following purposes:

•        Provide, Tailor, and Improve the Services. We use your personal information to provide you with the Services, including to perform our contract with you, to process your payments, to fulfil your orders, to remember your preferences and items you are interested in, to send notifications related to your account, to process purchases, returns, exchanges or other transactions, to create, maintain and otherwise manage your account, to arrange for shipping, to facilitate returns and exchanges, to enable you to post reviews, and to create a customised shopping experience for you, such as recommending products related to your purchases or skin concerns.

•        Marketing and Advertising. Where you have consented, we use your personal information for marketing and promotional purposes, such as to send marketing, advertising and promotional communications by email, text message or postal mail, and to show you online advertisements for products or services on the Services or other websites, including based on items you previously purchased or added to your cart.

•        Security and Fraud Prevention. We use your personal information to authenticate your account, to provide a secure payment and shopping experience, to detect, investigate or take action regarding possible fraudulent, illegal, unsafe, or malicious activity, and to secure our Services. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials safe and should not share them with anyone else.

•        Communicating with You. We use your personal information to provide customer support, respond to you, and maintain our business relationship with you.

•        Legal Reasons. We use your personal information to comply with applicable Bahraini or other applicable law, to respond to valid legal process, including requests from law enforcement or government agencies, to investigate or participate in legal proceedings, and to enforce or investigate potential violations of our terms or policies.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers (including Shopify) use cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies to operate the Services, remember your preferences, keep items in your cart, analyse site traffic, and, where you consent, deliver personalised advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Services, such as your ability to check out. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

6. How We Disclose Personal Information

In certain circumstances, we may disclose your personal information to third parties for legitimate purposes subject to this Privacy Policy. Such circumstances may include:

•        With Shopify, vendors and other third parties who perform services on our behalf (for example, IT management, payment processing, data analytics, customer support, cloud storage, fulfilment and shipping).

•        With business and marketing partners to provide marketing services and advertise to you. For example, we use Shopify to support personalised advertising with third-party services based on your online activity with different merchants and websites. Our business and marketing partners will use your information in accordance with their own privacy notices. Depending on where you reside, you may have a right to direct us not to share your information for targeted advertising purposes.

•        When you direct or request us to disclose certain information to third parties, or otherwise consent to such disclosure, such as to ship you products or through your use of social media widgets or login integrations.

•        With our affiliates or otherwise within our corporate group.

•        In connection with a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets; to comply with applicable legal obligations (including subpoenas, search warrants and similar requests); to enforce our terms of service or policies; and to protect or defend the Services, our rights, and the rights of our users or others.

We do not sell your personal information for money.

7. Relationship with Shopify

The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services for you. Information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify, as well as third parties that may be located in countries other than where you reside, in order to provide and improve the Services for you. We also use certain Shopify enhanced features that incorporate data obtained from your interactions with our store, along with other merchants and with Shopify, to help protect, grow, and improve our business. In these circumstances, Shopify is responsible for the processing of your personal information, including for responding to your requests to exercise your rights over its use for these purposes. To learn more about how Shopify uses your personal information, see the

Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy (https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy/consumers). You may also be able to exercise certain rights over data Shopify processes directly via the Shopify Privacy Portal (https://privacy.shopify.com/en).

8. International Transfers of Personal Information

We and our service providers, including Shopify, may transfer, store, and process your personal information outside the Kingdom of Bahrain, including in countries whose data protection laws may differ from those in Bahrain. Under the PDPL, we will only make such a transfer with your specific consent, unless the transfer is to a country or territory recognised as providing adequate protection, or another exemption under the PDPL applies. By providing your personal information and using the Services, you consent to this kind of transfer where applicable. If we transfer personal information out of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on recognised transfer mechanisms such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent UK mechanisms, unless the transfer is to a country already recognised as providing an adequate level of protection.

9. Third-Party Websites and Links

The Services may provide links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you follow links to sites not affiliated or controlled by us, you should review their privacy and security policies and other terms and conditions. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information found on them. Information you provide on public or semi-public venues, including third-party social networking platforms, may be viewable by other users without limitation as to its use by us or a third party. Our inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on those platforms or of their owners or operators, except as disclosed on the Services.

10. Children's Data

The Services are not directed to, and are not intended for use by, children. In Bahrain, the legal age of majority is 21; individuals under that age may only use the Services with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate parental or guardian consent. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us using the details below and we will delete it.

11. Security and Retention of Your Information

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect your personal information, consistent with the PDPL. Please be aware, however, that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security.” Any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit; we recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to maintain your account, provide you with the Services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements and policies. When personal information is no longer needed for these purposes, we securely delete or anonymise it, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

12. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the rights listed below in relation to your personal information. These rights are not absolute, may apply only in certain circumstances, and in certain cases we may decline your request as permitted by law.

•        Right to Access / Know. You may request access to the personal information we hold about you.

•        Managing Communication Preferences. We may send you promotional emails, and you may opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link in those emails. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional emails, such as those about your account or orders.

You may exercise any of these rights by contacting us using the details in the Contact section below. We may need to verify your identity before we can process your request, as permitted or required under applicable law. You may designate an authorised agent to make a request on your behalf; before accepting such a request, we will require proof that you have authorised the agent to act for you, and we may still need to verify your identity directly. We will respond to your request within the timeframe required under applicable law and will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
