Privacy Policy

BELLEMATE Privacy Policy

Thank you for trusting my family’s store. BELLEMATE is named for my grandchildren, Anabelle and Mateo, and I treat your personal information the same way I’d want mine treated. I don’t sell it. I don’t share it. Ever.

What Information We Collect
When you visit or buy from bellemate.us, we collect:

  1. Order Info: Your name, shipping address, email, phone number, and payment details. We need this to pack and ship your order.
  2. Account Info: If you create an account, we save your email and password so you don’t have to re-enter them.
  3. Email Info: If you join our “Sunday Gratitude Note,” we save your email to send you one encouraging note each week.
  4. Website Info: Like most stores, we use cookies to remember what’s in your cart and to see which pages visitors like most. This helps me improve the site.

How We Use Your Information
We use your info only to:

  • Process and ship your order
  • Send you tracking updates
  • Answer your emails to info@bellemate.us
  • Send the Sunday Gratitude Note if you asked for it
  • Keep our site safe from fraud

We Do NOT

  • Sell, rent, or trade your personal info to anyone
  • Send you ads from other companies
  • Share your email with advertisers

Who Handles Your Information

  1. Shopify: Our store runs on Shopify. They securely process your order and payment. I never see your full credit card number.
  2. Shipping Carriers: USPS, UPS, or FedEx need your name and address so they can deliver your package.
  3. Email Provider: If you join our email list, we use Shopify Email or a service like Klaviyo to send it. You can unsubscribe with one click.

Cookies
Cookies are small files that help our store remember you. We use them to keep your cart saved and to understand site traffic. You can turn cookies off in your browser settings, but some parts of the site may not work right.

Your Choices

  1. Unsubscribe: Every email has an “unsubscribe” link at the bottom. Click it, and you’re off the list immediately.
  2. See or Delete Your Info: Want to know what info we have, or want me to delete it? Email info@bellemate.us with the subject “My Privacy,” and I’ll take care of it within 30 days.
  3. Do Not Track: Because there’s no common standard for “Do Not Track” signals, we don’t respond to them right now.

Data Security
We use Shopify’s secure servers and SSL encryption. That means your info is protected with the same technology banks use. Still, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure, but I do everything I can to protect your data.

Children
BELLEMATE is for adults. We don’t knowingly collect info from children under 13. If you believe your child gave us info, please contact me, and I’ll delete it.

Changes to This Policy
If I ever update this policy, I’ll post the new date at the top. Minor changes will go into effect right away. Big changes — I’ll email you first if you’re on our list.

Contact Me
I’m the owner, and I personally read every privacy question.
