Last Modified July 20, 2023
Scope of this Privacy Policy Statement
This privacy policy statement applies to Personal Information (as defined in this privacy policy statement), collected by All About Alchemy at our stores or on our websites, mobile applications, cloud-based services, or controlled widgets embedded in communication platforms with a link to this privacy policy statement (collectively, the “Site”). It covers how we collect, use, share, and otherwise process such Personal Information as of the date that this Privacy Statement is posted or modified. It does not apply to any other information collected by All About Alchemy through any other means. By “Personal Information,” we mean information that identifies or can identify you personally.
The Site contains links to third-party websites, including websites of our business partners. We do not own, operate or control the websites of those third parties. This Privacy Statement does not apply to any websites maintained or operated by third parties for the collection, use, storage, disclosure, or other processing of your Personal Information. When you click on those links, you will go to a third-party website where you will be subject to that website’s privacy statement and we encourage you to read that policy statement.
By using the Site or providing your Personal Information to us, you consent to the collection, use, sharing, and other processing of your Personal Information as disclosed in this privacy policy statement.

Controlling Our Tracking Tools. Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies. How you do so depends on your browser and the type of cookie. Certain browsers can be set to reject all browser cookies. If you configure your browser to block all cookies, you may disrupt certain features of the Site and limit its functionality. You can change your cookie settings at any time. Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Those browser features are not uniform and we are not currently set up to respond to those signals.
Controlling Online Interest-Based Ads. We sometimes work with online advertising vendors to provide you with relevant and useful ads. This may include ads delivered on or through the Site. This may also include ads delivered on other companies’ websites. These ads may be based on information collected by us or third parties.
