Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from the Ascalon web site at www.laurinex.com (the “Site”).

Please review our Privacy Policy below, which also governs your visit to our website, the Site, to understand our practices. Your privacy is very important to us. Accordingly, we have developed this Policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate, disclose and make use of personal information.

The following outlines our privacy policy.

  • Before or at the time of collecting personal information, we will identify the purposes for which information is being collected.
  • We will collect and use your personal information with the primary purpose of fulfilling your purchases of those products that you select using the Site’s shopping cart functions, as enabled by selecting the “SHOP” tab. By completing your information using the “Check Out” prompts in the shopping cart to fulfill your purchase, you consent to sharing and disclosing your personal information with Ascalon for the above stated purposes.
  • We will collect personal information by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the individual concerned, for the purposes to process and facilitate credit card or PayPal payment services.
  • Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used, and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date.
  • We will protect personal information by reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. Ascalon is not responsible for loss, damage, or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification related to breaches in third party credit card and other payment processing services.
  • Ascalon may from time to time send e-mails to Members, Customers, and Visitors who have previously purchased product in order to provide information on our promotions, new products, and technology developments. Members, Customers, and Visitors may elect to opt out from receiving marketing emails from us at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of our marketing messages.
  • We will make readily available to Customers information about our policies and practices relating to the management of personal information. These are available in the Site’s “Terms and Conditions of Use”, which is stated in this Privacy Policy section.

We are committed to conducting our business in accordance with these principles in order to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained.

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 that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

  • “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
  • “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

How Do We Use Your Personal Information?

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:

  • Communicate with you;
  • Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
  • When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

Sharing Your Personal Information

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use Shopify to power our online store. You can read more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information here:

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