Privacy Policy

Thunderbolt Ayurveda (“we”, “us” or “Thunderbolt Ayurveda”) has created this privacy policy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy. The following discloses our information gathering, use and dissemination practices solely for the Website located at www.thunderboltayurveda.com (the "Website"). By using or accessing the Website, you signify your assent to our Privacy Policy.

 

PERSONAL AND NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION: When using the Website, in order to utilize some of our services, you may choose to upload, or we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Information”). Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to: 

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Mailing/physical address

  • Telephone number

  • Credit card number

  • “Usage Data,” which is data collected automatically, generated by either the use of the Website or from the Website infrastructure itself (for example, the duration of a page visit).

 

In connection with our product review system, you might provide other voluntary personal information including your:

  • Age range

  • Doshic type

  • Skin type

 

We collect Personal Information from you when you choose to participate in our offers and programs or when you otherwise provide information directly to us, including when you register with us, purchase products, review products, participate in our interactive features or otherwise interact with us on the Website.

 

In addition, we may also collect non-personally identifiable information, such as IP addresses (which identify your device), pages viewed, computer type, screen resolution, operating system version, Internet browser type and version, information collected through cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, and other technologies, and other data.  Because Non-Personal Information does not personally identify you, we may collect, use and disclose Non-Personal Information for any purpose.

 

We may aggregate Personal Information so that the aggregated information does not personally identify you or anyone else, such as by using Personal Information to calculate the percentage of our customers who live in a particular area (“Aggregate Information”). In some instances, we may combine Non-Personal Information with Personal Information (such as combining your name with your geographical location). If we combine any Non-Personal Information with Personal Information, the combined information will be treated by us as Personal Information as long as it is combined, and may aggregate any information collected in a manner which does not identify any individual.

 

USE OF INFORMATION: We use personal information to process and fulfill any orders that you have placed, contact you about our products and services, personalize your experience with us including by presenting products or offers tailored to you, and allow you to use, communicate and interact with others on our Website, including our product review system. This may include sharing information with third parties such as website hosting, data analysis, payment processing, order fulfillment, infrastructure provision, information technology services, customer service, e-mail delivery services, credit card processing, auditing, training, and other similar services. These third parties may have access to Personal Information necessary to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. We will never sell your Personal Information to any third party not affiliated with Thunderbolt Ayurveda without your consent except in connection with the sale or merger of Thunderbolt Ayurveda or the division responsible for such services.

 

We may disclose Personal Information as we believe necessary or appropriate: (a) under applicable law, including laws outside your country of residence; (b) to comply with legal process; (c) to respond to requests from public and government authorities including public and government authorities outside your country of residence; (d) to enforce our terms and conditions; (e) to protect our operations or those of any of our affiliates; (f) to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of our affiliates, you or others; and (g) to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.

 

We may use Aggregate Information to improve and enhance your experience on the Website and for our market research activities. For example, we may share Aggregate Information with unaffiliated third parties, such as business partners, site analytics vendors, manufacturers, distributors and retailers, in an aggregate, anonymous form, which means that the shared information will not contain nor be linked to any Personal Information.

 

We may at times share our customers email addresses (on a non-sale basis) with distributors, manufacturers and/or other services that we believe will be of interest to the Thunderbolt Ayurveda audience. From time to time, we may give you the opportunity to opt in to participate in special third party offers that require us to share certain Personal Information with such third parties. We will disclose this anticipated sharing of Personal Information at the time we make such opportunities available to you. If you opt in to participate in such an offer, we may disclose your Personal Information to such third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We recommend that you consult such third parties' privacy policies in advance if you wish to participate in these offers.

 

EMAIL AND TELEPHONE COMMUNICATIONS: We do use “browse abandon” and “cart abandon” tracking functions (if we have your email address and you visit our store, we will send you an email about the products you viewed or left in your cart).  If you receive an unwanted email from us, you can use the unsubscribe link found at the bottom of the email to opt out of receiving future emails. We will process your request within a reasonable time after receipt. Note that you will continue to receive transaction-related emails regarding products or services you have requested.  We may also contact you from time to time via telephone regarding customer service inquiries pertaining to your orders.

 

COOKIES: “Cookies” are pieces of information that may be placed on your computer by a Website for the purpose of facilitating and enhancing your communication and interaction with that Website. We may use cookies to customize your visit to the Website and for other purposes to make your visit more convenient or to enable us to enhance our service. For example, cookies allow us to select which ads or offers are most likely to appeal to you, based on your interests, preferences, location, or demographic information.  Cookies also allow us to keep track of items you add to your shopping cart. Many websites use cookies for these purposes.

 

There are several types of cookies, including, for example, browser cookies, session cookies, and persistent cookies. We use different types of cookies on our Website. We use cookies that allow customers and members to remain logged in to our Website, that keep track of items in your online shopping cart and user actions, and that recognize your Website preferences and user attributes.

 

You may stop or restrict the placement of cookies on your computer or flush them from your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences, in which case you may still use our Website, but it may interfere with some of its functionality. We do not use cookies to retrieve personal information from your computer for purposes that are unrelated to the Website or your interaction with the Website.

 

CLICKSTREAM: As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each Website you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as "clickstream data," can be collected and stored by a Website's server. Clickstream data can tell us the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the Website from which you linked to the Website. We may collect and use clickstream data as a form of Aggregate Information to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our Website, how visitors navigate throughout the Website and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors. This information will be used to improve our Website and our services. Any collection or use of clickstream data will be anonymous and aggregate, and will not intentionally contain any Personal Information.

 

SITE ANALYTICS: We may work with third-party service providers who use the technologies described in this section to conduct website analytics to help us track and understand how visitors use our Site.

 

SOCIAL NETWORK AND INTERACTIVE TOOLS: Certain features on our Website may give you an opportunity to interact with us and others. These may include blogs, message boards, messaging functionality, chat functionality, and creating community profiles. When you use these features you should be aware that any information you submit, including your name, location and e-mail address, may be publicly available to others. We are not responsible for any information you choose to submit through these interactive features and we strongly discourage you from disclosing any sensitive Personal Information (such as health or credit card information) through these features. If you use these features, your Personal Information may remain on the Website even after you cease use of the Website.

 

SECURITY: The security of your Personal Information is very important to us. We attempt to provide for the secure transmission of your information from your computer to our servers by utilizing encryption software. However, due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and Thunderbolt Ayurveda, or information stored on the Website or our servers, will be free from unauthorized access by third parties such as hackers and your use of the Website demonstrates your assumption of this risk. We have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect. Only those employees who need access to your information in order to perform their duties are authorized to have access to your Personal Information. We store only the last four digits of your credit card number and the full number, expiration date, and security code are transmitted to our payment processor in encrypted form.  If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us in accordance with the Contact section below.

The inclusion of a link on the Website does not imply endorsement of the linked site by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of websites operated by third parties that are linked to or integrated with our Website, or for the privacy practices of third party Internet advertising companies. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Website, or surf the Internet, and to read the privacy statements of each and every Website that you visit.
