Our Site uses "cookies" and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience and collect information about your usage. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences, track your movements on the Site, and personalize content.

  • Types of Cookies We Use (Wix automatically deploys many of these):

    • Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the basic functioning of the Site (e.g., enabling secure login, shopping cart functionality).

    • Analytical/Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our Site by collecting information anonymously (e.g., number of visitors, most popular pages).

    • Functionality Cookies: Allow the Site to remember choices you make (e.g., language preference, region) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

6. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location and applicable laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, if relevant to your business operations), you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. These rights may include:

  • Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.

  • Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.

7. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites that are not operated by us. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

9. Security of Your Information

We implement reasonable security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

Key Considerations for Your Wix Business:

  • Wix's Built-in Features: Wix has features for collecting data (forms, e-commerce, analytics). Understand how these work and what data they collect.

  • Wix Apps and Integrations: If you use any third-party apps from the Wix App Market (e.g., live chat, marketing tools, booking systems), each of these apps will have its own data collection practices. You need to account for these in your privacy policy. Review the privacy policies of all third-party services you integrate.

  • Payment Processors: Clearly state that you do not directly store credit card information and that it's handled by secure third-party payment gateways (Wix Payments, PayPal, Stripe, etc.).

  • Email Marketing: If you use Wix's email marketing tools or integrate with a service like Mailchimp, ensure your policy covers how you collect consent for marketing communications and how users can unsubscribe.

  • Analytics: If you connect Google Analytics or other analytics tools through Wix, mention them.

  • Cookie Banner/Consent: While Wix offers a cookie banner, ensure you understand its functionality and that it meets legal requirements for consent (especially important if targeting users in the EU or other regions with strict cookie laws).

  • Location-Specific Laws (Florida and Beyond):

    • Florida: While Florida doesn't have a comprehensive state-level privacy law like California (CCPA) or Virginia (VCDPA), businesses operating in Florida are still subject to federal laws like COPPA (for children's online privacy) and potentially state-specific laws related to data breaches.

    • U.S. Federal Laws: FTC Act, CAN-SPAM Act (for email marketing), COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act).

    • International Laws (if applicable): If you plan to sell to or collect data from individuals in the European Union (EU), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will apply. If in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) will apply. If in other states like Virginia (VCDPA), Colorado (CPA), Utah (UCPA), or Connecticut (CTDPA), their respective laws may also apply. This is why legal counsel is paramount.
