Email Communications

Transactional Emails

If you place an order or create an account, Budobo may send emails necessary to complete your transaction, such as order confirmations, customization questions, receipts, shipping notifications, password resets, and customer-service responses.

These messages are not marketing emails and may still be sent when necessary to fulfill your order.

Marketing Emails

Budobo may send promotional emails only when you have subscribed or otherwise provided appropriate consent.

You can unsubscribe at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link in a marketing email. Unsubscribing from marketing messages will not prevent transactional messages related to your purchases or account.

Budobo may use an email-service provider, such as MailPoet, to manage subscriptions, deliver messages, and measure email engagement.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Budobo uses cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve the website.

These technologies may be used to:

  • Keep products in your shopping cart

  • Remember account and checkout preferences

  • Maintain website security

  • Enable essential website functions

  • Understand website traffic and performance

  • Measure interactions with emails or website content

  • Remember cookie-consent selections

  • Support embedded content or social-media features

Some cookies are necessary for the website and checkout to function. Other cookies, including certain analytics or marketing cookies, may be optional.

Where required, you can accept, reject, or adjust optional cookies through the website’s cookie-consent tool. You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may prevent parts of the store from working correctly.

Analytics

Budobo may use analytics services, including Google Analytics through tools such as MonsterInsights, to understand how visitors use the website.

These services may collect information such as your IP address, device and browser information, approximate location, pages visited, referring source, and interactions with the website.

Where required, non-essential analytics will be controlled through the website’s cookie-consent settings. You can also learn about Google’s privacy practices and available controls through Google’s own privacy resources.

How We Share Information

Budobo may share personal information with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate the store and provide requested services.

These providers may include:

  • Website hosting and infrastructure providers

  • WordPress and WooCommerce service providers

  • Payment processors

  • Shipping carriers and fulfillment services

  • Email-delivery and newsletter providers

  • Analytics providers

  • Website security, spam-prevention, and backup providers

  • Accounting, tax, insurance, or professional advisers

  • Government authorities when disclosure is legally required

These parties receive information appropriate to the services they provide. For example, a shipping carrier receives the name, delivery address, and related information needed to deliver an order.

Budobo may also disclose information:

  • To comply with a subpoena, court order, or other legal obligation

  • To prevent fraud or protect the security of the website

  • To protect the rights, property, or safety of Budobo, its customers, or others

  • In connection with a sale, transfer, reorganization, or other change involving the business

Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

Budobo does not sell personal information for money.

Some analytics, advertising, social-media, or embedded-content technologies may be considered “sharing” or targeted advertising under certain privacy laws, depending on how they are configured. Where legally required, Budobo will provide appropriate notice and a way to control non-essential technologies.

Embedded Content and Third-Party Links

The website may include links to or embedded content from other websites, including social-media platforms.

Embedded content may behave as if you visited the third-party website directly. Those third parties may collect information, use cookies, or track interactions according to their own privacy policies.

Budobo is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.

Data Retention

Budobo retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including:

  • Completing and documenting transactions

  • Fulfilling custom orders

  • Providing customer support

  • Maintaining tax, accounting, and business records

  • Resolving disputes

  • Preventing fraud

  • Enforcing agreements

  • Meeting legal obligations

Order records may be retained for the period required for tax, accounting, legal, and business purposes.

Marketing information is generally retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to limited records needed to document your request.

Custom photographs and design files may be retained for order fulfillment, customer service, possible reorders, and recordkeeping. You may request deletion when the file is no longer required for an active order or legal obligation.

Data Security

Budobo uses reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect personal information.

However, no website, database, or method of electronic transmission is completely secure. Budobo cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use a strong, unique password if you create an account and do not send sensitive payment information through email or the contact form.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to request:

  • Access to personal information Budobo maintains about you

  • Correction of inaccurate information

  • Deletion of certain personal information

  • A copy of certain information

  • Information about how your personal information is used or disclosed

  • Withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent

  • An objection to or restriction of certain processing

  • An opt-out of certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising

These rights may be subject to exceptions. For example, Budobo may need to retain order information for tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, or other legal purposes.

To submit a privacy request, email hello@budobo.com or use the website’s Contact page. Please provide enough information to identify the applicable records. Budobo may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
