Privacy Policy

Welcome to Bikini Separates! Just as we carefully craft your perfect beachwear, we’re equally committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit bikiniseperates.com.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide you with seamless service from our Montreal studio to your favorite beach destination:

• Personal Details: Name, email, shipping/billing address when you make a purchase
• Payment Information: Credit card details processed securely through our PCI-compliant partners (we never store full card numbers)
• Order History: Your bikini sets, separates, and swimwear selections
• Device & Browsing Data: IP address, browser type, and pages visited to improve your shopping experience
• Communications: Emails or messages sent to our customer care team

2. How We Use Your Information

Like the perfect bikini fit, we tailor our use of your data to enhance your experience:

• Process your orders for swimwear and designer trunks
• Provide customer support from our Montreal headquarters
• Improve our website and product offerings
• Send order confirmations and shipping updates (no spam, we promise!)
• Prevent fraud and ensure transaction security
• Comply with Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA)

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We treat your data like a limited-edition bikini—precious and not for everyone:

• Service Providers: Shipping carriers and payment processors necessary to deliver your beachwear
• Legal Requirements: When required by Canadian law or to protect our rights
• Business Transfers: In case of merger or acquisition, with appropriate privacy protections
• Never Sold: We don’t sell your information to third-party marketers

4. International Data Transfers

While we ship swimwear globally (except some Asian regions), your data primarily resides in Canada. When international transfer is necessary, we ensure equivalent protection standards.

5. Data Storage & Security

We protect your data like our most exclusive bikini designs:

• 256-bit SSL encryption for all transactions (bank-level security)
• Regular security audits of our systems
• Limited employee access to your personal information
• Data retention only as long as necessary for business or legal purposes

6. Your Rights

You control your data like you control your beach style:

• Access: Request a copy of your personal information
• Correction: Update inaccurate details in your account
• Deletion: Request removal of your data (subject to legal requirements)
• Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails anytime
• Complaints: Contact us or the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada with concerns

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies—not the edible kind, but digital ones that:

• Remember your cart items as you shop for separates and sets
• Analyze site traffic to improve your browsing experience
• Enable secure checkout functionality

You can manage cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work without them.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our swimwear is for adults only. We don’t knowingly collect data from children under 13 (16 in the EU).

9. Policy Updates

We may update this policy as our business evolves. Significant changes will be communicated via email or website notice.

Now that the formalities are covered, why not browse our collections? Your perfect beach look awaits!

Happy shopping,
The Bikini Separates Crew
