INTRODUCTION
Pipishell takes your privacy seriously. We are committed to keeping your personal information private and safe. All personal data we collect is kept strictly secure and is only used for the purposes described in this privacy policy.
This policy applies to information collected through our websites and any information we collect offline, including information you provide to our customer service team over the phone.
WHO ‘WE’ ARE
Pipishell is a global company supplying goods to the US, UK, Canada, Europe, and Japan.
Pipishell is responsible for the personal data that you share with us. When we say “us”, “our” or “we”, we are referring to the company,
Pipishell. In accordance with regulations applicable to the processing of personal data,
Pipishell is the “data controller”.
APPLICABILITY OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy only applies in relation to our activities within the United States（“US”）and not otherwise.
THIRD-PARTY LINKS
This website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share your data. We have no control over these third-party websites and we are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we recommend you read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
WHAT IS ‘PERSONAL DATA’
Personal data is any data that could directly or indirectly identify you. This includes information like your name, address, telephone number, and email address. In some cases, it may include less obvious identifying information, like your IP Address (see below).
WHAT DATA DO WE COLLECT?
When you visit
pipishell.com or shop with us online, we collect information about you and your use of our website. We treat this information as falling into three categories: Customer Information, Usage Data, and your IP Address.
Customer Information is the information you explicitly provide to us when you make an online purchase or sign up to receive our newsletters. This includes:
- Name
- Email address
- Shipping and/or billing address
- Payment information
Usage Data is general information about how you interact with our website. This includes:
- Pages you visited
- How you came to the website (for example, by clicking on a link)
- The buttons or links you select
- Whether you have visited the website before
When you visit a website, the web server needs to know your computer’s public network address so it can send the requested pages to your browser. The public network address associated with your computer is called its 'public IP address' and is sent automatically each time you access a website.
It is usually possible to determine the general geographic location of a computer with its IP Address. Often, it is not possible to determine the specific computer and/or the specific user. If your IP Address is unique to you and is published somewhere, or if you later identify yourself while using the same IP Address, it is possible that the IP Address could identify you.
HOW WE COLLECT DATA
We may also ask you to provide personal data when you sign up for a newsletter, respond to a job application or an offer, join us on social media, take part in surveys, or contact us for help. If you do not want to provide personal data, you do not have to. However, it might limit your ability to do certain things on the website.
When you visit pipishell.com or shop with us online, we automatically collect some information about you, including Usage Data.
Some of this information is collected using cookies or other similar tracking technologies that have been placed by us or by third parties. For details on how cookies work, including which ones we use and how you can control them, please see our Cookie Policy.
In the US, your IP Address is considered to be personal data, and we treat it accordingly.
HOW WE USE DATA
We only use your personal data in the following ways:
- To fulfill orders placed by you
- In accordance with legal obligations
- When we have your explicit consent
- Where we have legitimate interests to process the data and our interests are not overridden by your rights
The main reason we use your personal data is to fulfill orders and to manage our relationship with you. For example, when dealing with questions about products, returns, and warranty claims.
Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us using the details set out in our "Contact Us" section above.
In addition, if you would like further information about the specific lawful basis we rely on when using your personal data, please contact us using the details set out in the "Contact Us" section below.

Pipishell or a part of its assets are acquired by a third party, personal data held by it about its customers relating to those assets is one of the transferred assets. Where appropriate, in such a case, the buyer acting as the new data controller processes your data and its privacy policy governs the processing of your personal data.
If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use/sales or other terms and conditions you have agreed to; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of

Pipishell transfers personal data outside of the US only in a secure and lawful way.

If you contact us as part of an enquiry, we keep your personal data for as long as necessary to process your enquiry.
