These companies have specific Interest-Based Ads programs that match people that have shown interest in Timo and Violet through our websites, stores or other services with their profiles on their platforms and properties.

Some cookies may be provided by an external party to provide additional functionality to our website and these are included below.

MANAGING YOUR INFORMATION

We will keep your personal information as long as it is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. However, in some circumstances we may retain your personal information for longer, for instance where required to do so in accordance with legal, tax and accounting requirements. In specific circumstances we may retain your personal information for longer periods of time so that we have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges.

SECURITY

Timo and Violet employ reasonable measures to maintain all personally identifiable information provided by you on computer servers in a controlled and secured environment in an effort to hinder unauthorized access, loss, alteration, use or disclosure of such information. Timo and Violet utilize secure socket layer encryption technology and firewall network protection to protect personally identifiable information that is transmitted to our website. Unfortunately, the nature of the internet is such that information may be transmitted over networks without appropriate security measures and may be accessed, deleted, altered, used or disclosed by unauthorized persons at that time. In the event that we are required by law to inform you of a breach to your personal information we may notify you electronically, in writing, or by telephone, if permitted to do so by law.

Because of the international nature of the services and products we provide on our website and the nature of our business, personal information may, subject to applicable law, be transferred internationally for the purposes described above. This may mean that personal information is transferred to countries which do not have laws or regulations that protect personal information, unlike the United States, where the server for our website is located. We use reasonable measures to limit the disclosure of the data you provide to us by only disclosing to certain staff within Timo and Violet and our affiliates (i.e. staff whose job it is to process your inquiries and survey answers or otherwise administer our Website, and those staff involved in the provision of our services and products which may be of interest to you) and requiring that they process the data only for the purposes identified in this Policy.

To protect our customers from fraudulent transactions on our website, all orders are subject to review and verification. As part of the verification process, an order may be temporarily placed on hold to verify order information. This includes, but is not limited to, credit card billing information, which may involve contacting the credit card holder directly.

MODIFICATIONS TO THIS POLICY

Timo and Violet may make modifications or amendments to this Policy from time to time. In the event that such changes alter how we gather, process, use, or disclose your personally identifiable information, we will post such changes on our website.
