Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 26, 2023

Welcome to Figmint Sale Store, where we bring Curated Simplicity to your kitchen and home. Just as we thoughtfully design our collections—from Bakeware and Kitchen Storage to Cutlery and Outdoor Cooking tools—we approach your privacy with the same intention: clarity, security, and respect. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and share your personal information when you visit buyhomeessentials.com or make a purchase from us.

Our customers—Efficient Organizers, Curated Collectors, and Global Home Cooks—trust us to provide not only durable, joy-sparking tools but also a secure and transparent online experience. We are committed to safeguarding your data with the same care we put into selecting our products.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that helps us provide a seamless shopping experience, process your orders, and improve our services. This includes:

• Personal Identifiers: Name, email address, shipping and billing address, and phone number, provided when you create an account, check out as a guest, or contact our support team.
• Payment Information: When you make a purchase, we process payment via secure third-party gateways. We do not store your full credit/debit card details on our servers. Our payment processors (like PayPal and PCI-compliant gateways) handle this data securely.
• Transaction and Order Details: Information about the products you purchase (e.g., Bento Boxes, Cookware, Cutting Boards), order history, and preferences.
• Technical and Usage Data: Through cookies and similar technologies, we may collect IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and how you navigate our site. This helps us optimize site performance and tailor your experience.
• Communications: Records of your interactions with us, including customer service inquiries and feedback.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data allows us to serve you with the efficiency and simplicity that define the Figmint experience:

• To process and fulfill your orders for Kitchen & Dining essentials, manage shipping, and send order confirmations and updates.
• To provide customer support and respond to your questions about products, payment, or delivery.
• To improve our website, product selections, and services based on how customers use our site and what they buy (e.g., popular categories like Cabinet Organization or Bakeware).
• To send you relevant updates about new collections, promotions, or Holiday Kitchen Essentials—but only if you have opted in. You can unsubscribe at any time.
• To prevent fraud and enhance security, ensuring our payment process remains secure and reliable.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We respect your privacy and do not sell your personal information. We share data only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: Trusted partners who help us operate our business, such as payment processors (e.g., PayPal, card gateways), shipping carriers, and IT service providers. They are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the services we request.
• Legal Compliance: If required by law, regulation, or legal process (e.g., court order), we may disclose information to authorities.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, sale, or transfer of assets, customer information may be transferred as part of the transaction, with notice provided.
• With Your Consent: We will share information outside the scope of this policy only with your explicit permission.

Given our global customer base (serving most regions worldwide, excluding some remote areas), data may be transferred to or accessed from countries outside your residence, under appropriate safeguards.

4. Data Storage and Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

• All transactions are encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and processed via PCI-compliant gateways.
• We do not store sensitive payment details like full credit card numbers on our servers.
• Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel who need it to perform their duties.
• We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law (e.g., for tax and record-keeping purposes).

While we strive to protect your data, no online transmission or storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and protect your account information.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including:
