Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 26, 2023

At Ericjavits Shop, we believe that timeless elegance extends beyond our curated collections of structured Fall & Winter Hats, breezy Straw Hats, and narrative-driven accessories. It encompasses the entire experience, including the trust and discretion with which we handle your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines our commitment to protecting your privacy, reflecting the same dedication to quality, security, and sophistication that defines every piece we craft.

1. Who We Are & Our Philosophy

Our website, eric-javits.com, is the digital home of Ericjavits Shop, located at 925 Rainy Day Drive, Boston, US 02110. We cater to a discerning global clientele who values enduring style, exceptional craftsmanship, and a seamless narrative in their accessories—from our F/W and SS25 Collections to our Men’s and Women’s hats, bags, and shoes. Just as we meticulously design each transaction for simplicity and security, we approach your data with the utmost care and respect.

2. Information We Collect

To provide our seamless global service and enhance your experience, we collect information that you provide directly and through automated means:

• Personal Identifiers: Name, shipping/billing address, email address, and telephone number provided during checkout or account creation.
• Transaction & Financial Data: Payment method details (e.g., card type, last four digits) processed securely via our third-party gateways. We never store full payment card information on our servers.
• Commercial Information: Records of products purchased, viewed, or saved, such as items from our Fall/Winter Bags, Straw Hats, or Rain Hats collections.

3. How We Use Your Information

Your data allows us to craft a personalized and secure journey, mirroring the bespoke nature of our accessories:

• To process and fulfill your orders, arrange global delivery (excluding select remote regions and parts of Asia), and manage returns.
• To communicate with you regarding your order, account, and our collections (e.g., new arrivals in our SS25 Collection).
• To improve our website, product offerings, and customer service based on your interactions and preferences.
• To prevent fraud and enhance the security of our transactions and website.
• To comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

4. Sharing & Disclosure of Information

We treat your personal details with the discretion our clientele expects. We share information only as necessary:

• Service Providers: Trusted partners who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing (PayPal, credit card processors), order fulfillment, shipping carriers, and IT support. They are contractually bound to use your data solely for the services we request.
• Legal Compliance: If required by law, regulation, or legal process, we may disclose information to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, sale, or transfer of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, with notice provided.
• With Your Consent: We will share information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

5. Data Storage & Security

Your trust is our cornerstone. We employ robust technical and organizational measures to protect your data, akin to the care taken in our Boston studio:

• Secure Storage: Data is stored on secure servers with access limited to authorized personnel.
• Encryption: Sensitive data transmitted during checkout (e.g., payment information) is protected by industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption.
• Payment Security: All transactions are processed through PCI-DSS compliant, certified payment gateways. We do not store your full payment card details.
• Data Retention: We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law.
