PiperWai Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.piperwai.com (the "Site").

Personal information we collect

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies installed on your device. As you browse the Site, we also collect information about the pages or products you view, what website or search terms referred you to the Site, and how you interact with the Site. We refer to this as "Device Information."

We collect Device Information using the following technologies and services:

  • "Cookies" are data files placed on your device, often including an anonymous unique identifier. Learn more and how to disable cookies at http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
  • "Log files" track actions on the Site and collect your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring or exit pages, and date and time stamps.
  • "Web beacons," "tags," and "pixels" are electronic files used to record how you browse the Site.
  • Klaviyo, our email and SMS marketing platform, used to send newsletters, promotions, and order related messages.
  • TikTok conversion tracking, which measures the effectiveness of our advertising on TikTok.
  • Reddit Pixel, which measures the effectiveness of our advertising on Reddit.
  • OpenAI's ChatGPT Ads Pixel, which measures the effectiveness of our advertising shown in ChatGPT.
  • PayPal, which processes payments and manages transactions.
  • Microsoft Advertising, which measures the effectiveness of our advertising on Microsoft's platforms.
  • Meta ads conversion tracking (Meta Pixel), which measures the effectiveness of our advertising on Meta's platforms.
  • Google Tag Manager, which manages and deploys marketing tags on our website.
  • YouTube video widget, used to display videos on our website.
  • Microsoft Clarity, which helps us understand how users interact with our website.
  • WhatsApp Business Chat widget, used to provide customer support and communication.
  • Google Analytics 4, used to collect data about website usage and user behavior.
  • Contact form, which collects your name, email, and any other information you provide.
  • Direct registration, which collects your name, email, and, for accounts using the legacy sign in, password when you create an account.
  • Mailing list or newsletter, which collects your email when you opt in to updates, sent through Klaviyo.
  • VWO tools, used for A/B testing and to understand user interactions and preferences.

We only set non essential cookies, such as analytics, marketing, or session replay cookies, with your consent in regions where consent is required. Through our cookie banner, you may choose which categories of cookies you allow and withdraw consent at any time. Necessary cookies that ensure the Site functions, such as secure checkout, cannot be disabled.

Our domain name is registered through GoDaddy. GoDaddy does not host our website or process Site visitor data as part of that registration. Our store is hosted on Shopify, described below.

When you make or attempt to make a purchase, we also collect your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers, Amazon Pay accounts, and PayPal accounts), email address, and phone number. We refer to this as "Order Information."

When we talk about "Personal Information" in this Privacy Policy, we mean both Device Information and Order Information.

We also operate a separate landing page for Myro customers that does not collect payment or enable purchases. If you enter your email there to be notified about Myro, your name and email are collected through Airtable forms and used solely to provide product updates and marketing communications about PiperWai and Myro. Airtable processes this data under its own privacy policy.

How do we use your personal information

We use Order Information generally to fulfill orders placed through the Site, including processing payment, arranging shipping, and providing invoices and order confirmations. We also use Order Information to:

  • Communicate with you
  • Screen orders for potential risk or fraud
  • Provide information or advertising about our products or services, in line with the preferences you have shared
  • Process your auto renewal orders if you are part of our subscribe and save program, managed through Stay.ai

We use Device Information to help screen for risk and fraud, particularly your IP address, and more generally to improve and optimize the Site, for example by generating analytics about how customers browse and interact with the Site and assessing the success of marketing and advertising campaigns through services like Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity, and TikTok, Reddit, OpenAI's ChatGPT Ads, Meta, and Microsoft Advertising conversion tracking.

We rely on contractual necessity to process order data, legitimate interests to prevent fraud and maintain our website, and your consent for marketing and analytics cookies.

Mobile Information Sharing. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information, including mobile phone numbers, with third parties for their marketing or advertising purposes.

Your information may be shared with service providers, such as messaging platforms and email service providers, solely to deliver communications from PiperWai.

Finally, we may share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant, or other lawful request, or to otherwise protect our rights.

State by state privacy rights

Because we sell nationwide, this section applies to residents of any U.S. state with a comprehensive consumer privacy law, rather than repeating the same rights state by state.

As of the date of this policy, that includes residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.

Depending on your state, you generally have the right to:

  • Confirm and access whether we process your personal data, and access that data
  • Correct inaccuracies in your personal data
  • Delete personal data we have collected
  • Port your data in a portable, machine readable format
  • Opt out of the sale of your personal data, targeted advertising, and profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects
  • Appeal if we decline to act on your request, in most of the states above

Florida residents: the Florida Digital Bill of Rights applies primarily to larger businesses, but we honor access, deletion, portability, and opt out requests from Florida residents as a matter of practice.

Washington residents: Washington does not currently have a general comprehensive consumer privacy law. Its My Health My Data Act gives Washington residents specific rights over consumer health data.

To exercise any of these rights, regardless of your state, contact us at customerservice@piperwai.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

Behavioral advertising

Learn more about how targeted advertising works at the Network Advertising Initiative's educational page: http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work

Contact form, newsletter, and support widgets

Contact form and direct registration. When you fill out a contact form or register on our site, we collect the information you provide, which may include your name, email address, and anything else you choose to share. We use it to respond to inquiries, provide support, and send communications about our products and services.

Mailing list or newsletter. If you sign up for our mailing list or newsletter, we collect your email and may also collect your name and preferences, through Klaviyo, to send product updates, promotions, and marketing communications.

WhatsApp Business Chat widget. If you use this widget on our site, we may collect information about your interactions with it to provide customer support.

Google Analytics 4. We use GA4 to understand how users interact with our site, improve it, and provide better service. We ask for your consent through our cookie banner before enabling analytics cookies in jurisdictions where consent is required.

Data retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. The exact retention period varies depending on the nature of our interactions with you.

When you place an order, we maintain your Order Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete it. Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides the online e-commerce platform we use to sell to you. Your data is stored through Shopify's data storage, databases, and application, behind a firewall.

Payment. If you use a direct payment gateway, Shopify stores your credit card data, encrypted under PCI-DSS. Transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete the transaction, then deleted. Learn more at https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms and https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy

Mobile Terms of Service

The PiperWai mobile message service (the "Service") is operated by PiperWai. Using the Service means you agree to these Mobile Terms, which we may modify at any time. Continued use after a change means you accept it.

By consenting to PiperWai's SMS and text messaging service, you agree to receive recurring SMS and text messages from PiperWai through your wireless provider, even if your number is on a state or federal Do Not Call list. Messages may be sent using automatic dialing technology. Service related messages may include order updates and account alerts. Promotional messages may include offers and cart reminders.

You do not have to join this program to make a purchase, and consent is not a condition of purchase. Participation is voluntary. We do not charge for the Service, but message and data rates from your carrier may apply.

Text STOP to +18334900294, or click unsubscribe in any text, to opt out at any time. You will get a one time confirmation text. Text HELP to +18334900294 or email info@piperwai.com for support. We may change the number we use to operate the Service and will notify you.

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. See our Privacy Notice above for how we handle your personal information.

Do Not Track

We do not alter our data collection and use practices when we see a Do Not Track signal from your browser.

Your rights for European residents

If you are a European resident, you have the right to access personal information we hold about you and ask that it be corrected, updated, or deleted. Contact us using the details below. We process your information to fulfill contracts with you, such as an order through the Site, or to pursue the legitimate business interests listed above. Your information may be transferred outside Europe, including to Canada and the United States.

Because Shopify usually acts as our data processor, it has made GDPR related updates to its own policy. See Shopify's privacy statement for details at https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy

Changes

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
