BeAdoré ("we," "us," "our") values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It applies to your use of beadorecandles.com and any related services.
1 · What we collect
We only ask for what we need to run the atelier.
- Contact information. When you place an order or compose a horoscope candle, we collect your first name, email address, and (for candles) your birth date.
- Shipping address. Collected by Stripe at checkout and passed to us so we can ship your order.
- Payment details. Card numbers and CVCs are collected directly by Stripe, Inc. on Stripe-hosted pages — BeAdoré never sees or stores your full card number. We only receive metadata (last four digits, expiry, confirmation status) for fulfillment.
- Site interactions. Basic server logs (IP address, request time, user agent) via Cloudflare. Your shopping cart is stored locally in your browser (localStorage) and never transmitted to our servers until you check out.
2 · How we use it
- To process and ship your orders.
- To compose your horoscope candle reading (first name, birth date).
- To email you order receipts and occasional brand updates (the BeAdoré Private Letter List).
- To respond to your messages and support requests.
- To comply with tax, accounting, and consumer-protection obligations.
3 · Who we share with
We do not sell your personal information. We share only what is necessary with trusted service providers who help us run the site:
- Stripe, Inc. — payment processing. See Stripe's privacy policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.
- Google LLC (Gemini API) — the AI model that composes your horoscope candle reading. Your first name, birth date, and derived zodiac sign are sent to Google for the sole purpose of generating that reading. Google does not use the input to train its models. See https://ai.google.dev/privacy.
- Resend, Inc. — the service we use to send order receipts and the Private Letter List. See https://resend.com/privacy.
- Cloudflare, Inc. — our hosting, CDN, and DNS provider. Cloudflare may log standard request metadata. See https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.
We will also disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of BeAdoré, our customers, or others.
4 · How long we keep it
Order records are retained for as long as legally required (typically seven years for tax purposes). Horoscope candle compositions and associated email addresses are retained until you ask us to delete them. You can unsubscribe from the Private Letter List at any time using the link at the bottom of any email we send.
5 · Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of your information.
- Opt out of marketing emails.
- (If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, or Utah.) Additional rights under your state's consumer privacy law, including the right to opt out of "sale" or "sharing" of personal information — which BeAdoré does not do.
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@beadorecandles.com and we will respond within thirty (30) days.
6 · Children
BeAdoré is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
7 · Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information. Payment data is encrypted in transit via TLS and processed by Stripe. Personal information we store is held in Cloudflare's D1 database with restricted access. No system is perfectly secure, however — if you believe your account has been compromised, please contact us immediately.
8 · Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version here and update the "Last updated" date at the top.
