Any information you provide directly to those third parties will be handled under their own privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy.

​
YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
​
​
YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING OUR USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
​
As a customer of Christina Hart, you may have certain rights concerning the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information. These rights are subject to applicable law, and they are not absolute. We reserve the right to deny or limit requests where permitted by law, where we cannot reasonably verify your identity, or where compliance would place an undue burden on our business.
​
1. Opting Out of Marketing Communications
You may opt out of receiving promotional or marketing communications from us at any time. This can be done by clicking the “unsubscribe” link within any promotional email. Please note:
-
Opting out of marketing does not stop essential service-related messages (such as order confirmations, shipping notices, or customer service responses).
-
We are not responsible for removing your information from the databases of third parties with whom we already shared it prior to your opt-out request.
2. Limiting Sharing of Information
You may request that we stop sharing your personal information with affiliates, promotional partners, or other third parties for their own marketing purposes. To do so, contact us at [insert email] and specify whether you wish to restrict sharing with (a) affiliates, (b) promotional partners and third parties, or (c) both. We may require additional verification before honouring this request.
3. Requesting Deletion of Information
You may request that we delete your personal information when there is no longer a legitimate business or legal reason to keep it. However, please understand that:
-
We may retain certain information to comply with tax, legal, or regulatory obligations; prevent fraud or abuse; enforce contracts; or protect our rights.
-
Requests may be denied if deletion would interfere with ongoing transactions, investigations, or legitimate business functions.
-
If we deny your request, we will inform you of the reason and explain how your data continues to be safeguarded.
4. Access and Updates
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you or request corrections where data is inaccurate or incomplete. We may limit the frequency of such requests and may refuse requests that are repetitive, excessive, or unreasonable. We are not obligated to alter or remove records already shared with affiliates, partners, or service providers outside of our direct control.
5. Appointment of an Authorised Agent
You may authorise another person to act on your behalf to exercise your rights. To protect your privacy, we may require written authorisation, proof of identity for both you and the agent, and sufficient detail to confirm the scope of authority. We may refuse requests from agents who cannot demonstrate proper authorisation.
6. Timing, Fees, and Limitations
We aim to respond to verifiable requests in a timely manner. However:
-
Processing times may vary depending on the complexity and volume of requests.
-
Where permitted by law, we may charge a reasonable fee for excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded requests.
-
Certain rights may not apply to all users, depending on your location and applicable privacy laws.
