HuaLore Shop · Legal
Privacy & Cookie Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how HuaLore Shop collects, uses, shares and protects personal information when you visit https://www.longwinshop.com, create an account, contact us or purchase Chinese cultural and creative gifts from us.
1. Who we are
Shanghai Longhui Information Technology Co., Ltd., trading as HuaLore Shop (“HuaLore Shop”, “we”, “us” or “our”), is responsible for the personal information described in this policy.
Business address: Jinshan, Shanghai, China
Privacy email: support@longwinshop.com
2. Scope
This policy applies to personal information processed through our website, online store, customer service, order fulfilment, marketing and related business operations. It does not govern a third party’s independent website, app or service, even if we link to it.
Some regions give “personal information”, “personal data” or similar terms a specific legal meaning. In this policy, these terms generally mean information that identifies, relates to, describes or could reasonably be linked with an individual or household.
3. Information we collect
Information you provide
- Identity and contact information: name, email address, telephone number, billing and delivery addresses.
- Order and transaction information: products purchased, order value, currency, discounts, shipping option, customs information, returns, refunds and customer-service history.
- Account information: username, password in protected form, saved addresses, wish lists and account preferences.
- Payment information: payment method, transaction identifier, payment status and limited billing details. Full card numbers are normally collected and processed by the payment provider rather than HuaLore Shop.
- Communications and content: emails, contact-form messages, support requests, survey responses, product reviews, comments, photographs or other content you submit.
- Marketing preferences: newsletter subscriptions, consent records and communication choices.
Information collected automatically
- Device and network information: IP address, browser, operating system, language, device identifiers and approximate location inferred from IP.
- Usage information: pages viewed, links selected, referring page, search activity, cart activity, session times and interactions with our website or messages.
- Cookie and similar-technology information: identifiers and preferences stored by WordPress, WooCommerce and enabled analytics, security, payment, customer-service or advertising tools.
- Security information: login events, failed payment or authentication attempts, fraud indicators, spam signals and technical logs.
We do not ask you to provide sensitive information such as health data, biometric identifiers, religious beliefs or precise geolocation to purchase ordinary products. Please do not include unnecessary sensitive information in order notes, reviews or customer-service messages.
4. Sources of information
We collect information directly from you, automatically from your browser or device, and from service providers involved in a transaction. Those providers may include payment processors, fraud-prevention services, website hosting and security providers, analytics services, YunExpress, customs intermediaries and destination-country delivery partners.
If another person sends a gift to you, we may receive your name, delivery address and telephone number from the purchaser. The purchaser is responsible for providing that information lawfully.
5. How and why we use personal information
| Purpose | Information typically used | EU/UK legal basis, where applicable |
|---|---|---|
| Process payment, accept and fulfil orders, deliver parcels, handle returns and provide customer service | Identity, contact, order, payment-status and communication information | Performance of a contract; steps requested before entering a contract |
| Calculate tax, prepare customs documents, maintain accounting records and comply with law | Identity, address, order, transaction and customs information | Legal obligation |
| Operate accounts, carts, wish lists and website features | Account, device, cookie and usage information | Performance of a contract; legitimate interests in operating the store |
| Protect customers and the website, prevent fraud, abuse, chargebacks and security incidents | Transaction, device, network, security and usage information | Legitimate interests in protecting our business and customers; legal obligation where applicable |
| Improve products, website performance, service and customer experience | Order trends, usage, device, survey and support information | Legitimate interests; consent where required for non-essential analytics |
| Send newsletters, offers or personalised marketing | Contact, preference, order and engagement information | Consent where required; otherwise legitimate interests subject to your right to object |
| Establish, exercise or defend legal claims and respond to authorities | Information relevant to the request, dispute or claim | Legitimate interests; legal obligation |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider the benefit of the processing, its necessity and its effect on your rights. You may object to certain processing as described below.
Information required for payment, delivery, tax, customs or fraud prevention is necessary to process an order. If you do not provide it, we may be unable to accept or fulfil the purchase.
8. International data transfers
HuaLore Shop is operated from China and sells internationally. Your information may be processed in China, the country where you place an order, the destination country, and other locations where our service providers operate. Privacy laws in those locations may differ from those in your country.
For transfers that require a recognised legal mechanism, we take steps appropriate to the service and applicable law. These may include an adequacy decision, approved standard contractual clauses or another permitted safeguard. You may contact us for more information about safeguards relevant to your information.
9. How long we retain information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, including to fulfil orders, provide customer service, maintain security, meet tax, accounting, customs and recordkeeping duties, resolve disputes and enforce agreements.
- Order, payment-status, customs, return and refund records are retained for the period required by applicable commercial, tax, accounting and limitation laws.
- Account information is generally retained while the account remains open and for a reasonable period after closure for security, backup and dispute purposes.
- Customer-service records are retained for a reasonable period after the matter closes, taking account of warranty, chargeback and legal-claim periods.
- Marketing information is retained until you unsubscribe, withdraw consent or object, after which we may keep minimal suppression information so we can respect the choice.
- Technical and security logs are kept for periods proportionate to troubleshooting, fraud prevention and system security.
When information is no longer needed, we delete, anonymise or securely isolate it, subject to backup cycles and legal restrictions.
10. Your privacy rights
Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have the right to:
- request access to or a copy of your personal information;
- correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
- request deletion of information;
- restrict or object to certain processing;
- receive certain information in a portable format;
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing already carried out;
- object at any time to direct marketing;
- complain to the privacy or data-protection authority where you live, work or believe a violation occurred.
To exercise a right, email support@longwinshop.com and describe your request. We may ask for information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and protect your account. You may use an authorised agent where local law permits. We will respond within the period required by applicable law and will explain if an exception applies.
EU/EEA residents may contact the data-protection authority in their country. UK residents may contact the Information Commissioner’s Office. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve the concern.
11. United States state privacy disclosures
If a US state privacy law applies to HuaLore Shop and your information, you may have rights to know or access information, correct it, delete it, obtain a portable copy, opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale or sharing, and appeal a decision about your request. You will not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising an applicable privacy right.
Categories handled in the preceding 12 months
Depending on how you used the website, we may have collected identifiers and contact details; customer-record information; commercial and transaction information; internet or electronic activity; approximate geolocation; customer-service and submitted content; and inferences such as likely product interests. We collect these from the sources and for the purposes described in Sections 4 and 5.
We may disclose these categories for operational business purposes to the service-provider categories listed in Section 7. HuaLore Shop does not sell personal information in exchange for money. However, some analytics or advertising technologies, if enabled, may be treated as “sale”, “sharing” or targeted advertising under certain state laws. Where applicable, we will provide a cookie preference or opt-out mechanism and recognise legally required browser-based preference signals.
We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of individuals under 16. To submit a state privacy request or an appeal, email support@longwinshop.com with the subject “Privacy Request”.
12. Security and automated fraud screening
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Protect your account password and contact us if you suspect unauthorised activity.
We or our payment and fraud-prevention providers may use automated signals to identify suspicious transactions. This can result in an order being held, requiring verification or being declined. Where applicable law provides rights concerning a solely automated decision with legal or similarly significant effects, you may request human review by contacting us.
13. Children’s privacy
Our store is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13 or a higher minimum age required by local law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child provided information improperly, contact us so we can investigate and delete it where required.
14. Changes to this policy and contact
We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices, technology or legal obligations change. We will post the revised version on this page and provide additional notice where a material change requires it.
