In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

​
Like millions of other website owners, I use Google Analytics on CharlotteMartin Boutique.
Google Analytics is a piece of software that grabs data about my visitors (you). It’s something like an advanced server log.
What does Google Analytics record?
-
What website you came from to get here.
-
How long you stay for.
-
What kind of computer you’re using?
-
And quite a bit more.
What do I do with your data?
The tracking information allows me to better understand the kind of people who come to my site and what content they’re reading. This allows me to make better decisions about design and writing.
Occasionally, I will compile aggregate statistics about the number of visitors this site receives and browsers being used. No personally identifying data is included in this type of reporting.
All of my activity falls within the bounds of the Google Analytics Terms of Service.
Want to opt out of tracking?

​
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So, if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
As an example, if you are located in Alaska or Canada it could be possible that your transaction may be processed by a payment gateway located within the United States. In turn this will mean that your personal information collected/used in completing that particular transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation. This will apply to all oversea countries and therefore if you require detailed information in relation to this, you need to seek advice from the relevant organisations that you are using.
