Notice to California Residents

This section outlines certain data privacy rights afforded by the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, to California residents under state law. Right to Know

You can request information about how we have collected, used and shared and used your personal information during the past 12 months. We have made this information available to California residents without having to request it by including it in this notice.

Right to Access

You can request a copy of the personal information that we maintain about you.

Right to Delete

You may request that we delete any of your personal data that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will review your request. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is proper and necessary or if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies.

Right to Correct

You may also request that we correct any of your personal data that has become outdated or needs correction for any reason.

Exercising Your Rights

To access or delete specific pieces of personal information we will need to verify your identity to the degree of certainty required by law. As permitted by applicable law, any request you submit to us is subject to an identification and residency verification process (“Verifiable Consumer Request”). We will not fulfill your request unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the consumer about whom we collected personal information.

California residents may exercise their rights described above by:

  • Emailing us at: info@akarashop.com with subject line “Verifiable Consumer Request”

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf (an “Authorized Agent”), may make a request to know or delete related to your personal data. We require Authorized Agents to provide written authorization confirming they may submit a request on your behalf. You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. We endeavor to substantively respond to a Verifiable Consumer Request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt, unless we require an extension. If we reasonably require an extension, we will inform you of the reason and extension period.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your data subject rights. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your Verifiable Consumer Request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

EU Data Protection Rights

This section applies to users of our Service who are residents of the European Economic Area and the UK. If you are a resident of the European Economic Area and the UK, you have the right to:

Access, correct, update or request deletion of your personal information.

Object to processing of your personal information and request that we restrict processing of your personal information.

Opt-out of marketing communications we send you at any time.  You can exercise this right by clicking on the “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” link in the marketing e-mails we send you, by using the contact details below.

Complaint to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.

  • If we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time.  Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
  • Data Controller

For the purposes of the data collected on our Services, Shaico Fashion LLC serves as the data controller. Our Services are hosted on Shopify, and Shopify acts as our data processor. In instances where a consumer is located in the European Economic Area, that individual’s personal information will be processed by Shopify’s Irish Affiliate, Shopify International, Ltd.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise your data protection rights, please submit a request by:

  • Emailing us at: info@akarashop.com with subject line “EU Data Request”

We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Only you or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf may submit a request that affects your data. Therefore, we will need to verify your identity or the identity of whoever is submitting a request on your behalf.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your data protection rights. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your data protection request, unless it is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded.
