PRIVACY POLICY
At Barebachelor, we believe in being straightforward about how your information is handled. This policy explains what happens with the data you give us and the data our site picks up automatically, so you can make informed choices.
What You Share With Us
To complete a purchase, you actively provide us with details that are essential for your order. This includes your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this as your Order Information.
What We Learn When You Browse
As you navigate our site, certain details about your device and visit are recognized automatically. This helps us understand how people use Barebachelor. The information we gather includes your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies stored on your device. We also note the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to us, and how you interact with the Site. We call this Device Information.
To collect Device Information, we rely on a few common technologies:
- Cookies are small data files placed on your device or computer, often containing an anonymous unique identifier. You can learn more about them and how to disable them at http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
- Log files track actions on the Site and record data like your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
- Web beacons, tags, and pixels are electronic files that log information about your browsing behavior.
When we mention “Personal Information” in this policy, we are referring to both Order Information and Device Information together.
How We Put Your Data to Work
Your Order Information is used primarily to fulfill any orders you place. This covers processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations. Beyond that, we use it 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.
Device Information serves a different purpose. We analyze it to screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and to improve and optimize our Site. This includes generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns.
Who Helps Us Process Your Data
We share your Personal Information with trusted third parties who assist us in using it as described above. For example, we use Google Analytics to understand how customers interact with 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.
There are also situations where we may disclose your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful requests, or to protect our rights.
Ads and Your Choices
We use your Personal Information to deliver targeted advertisements or marketing communications that we believe may interest you. For a deeper look at how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.
You have options to opt-out of targeted advertising from specific platforms:

You have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted.
