This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from Studio 9 Body Art and view and subscribe to our website.

Personal information we collect
When  you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about  your device, including information about your web browser, IP address,  time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web  pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred  you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site.  We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information”. 

We collect Device Information using the following technologies: 
- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique  identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable  cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org. 
- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data  including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider,  referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps. 
- “Web beacons”, “tags”, and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Additionally  when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the  Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name,  billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit  card numbers, email address, and phone number). We refer to this  information as “Order Information”.

When we talk  about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both  about Device Information and Order Information. 

How do we use your personal information?
We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment  information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices  and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to: 
- Communicate with you; 
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and 
-  When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you  with information or advertising relating to our products or services. 

We  use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for  potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers  browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our  marketing and advertising campaigns).

Sharing you personal Information
We  share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your  Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use Shopify to  power our online store--you  can read more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information here:  https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy. We also use Google Analytics to  help us understand how our customers use the Site -- you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here:  https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out  of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. 

Finally,  we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable  laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other  lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
