1. Information We Collect
We collect two primary categories of information to maintain stable website operation, complete order transactions, and deliver optimized shopping and after-sales experiences:
Personal Identifiable Information
You voluntarily provide personal identifiable information when creating an account, placing orders, subscribing to newsletters, or contacting customer support.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your personal device that record your browsing preferences, recognize returning visitors, analyze website traffic, and customize recommended Caraway Cookware products according to your kitchenware needs. You can disable or clear cookies anytime through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may limit partial website functions and affect your shopping experience.
4. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We never sell, rent, or trade your personal privacy information for commercial purposes without your explicit written consent. We may share your data only with trusted third-party service providers necessary for normal business operations, including secure payment processors, U.S. local shipping carriers, and website technical maintenance teams. All cooperative third parties sign strict confidentiality agreements and may only use your information to complete authorized services. We will also disclose your data when required by applicable laws, regulations, or legal proceedings.
5. Data Security Protection
We adopt industry-standard encryption technologies, secure server protection protocols, and strict internal data management mechanisms to protect your personal information and transaction data from unauthorized access, tampering, loss, and disclosure. While no online data transmission or electronic storage system can achieve absolute 100% security, we continuously upgrade security defense measures to maximize the protection of your personal privacy and data safety.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for the duration necessary to complete business service purposes or meet legal data retention requirements. After completing order after-sales services and exceeding legal storage periods, we will securely delete or anonymize your personal data to eliminate unnecessary data storage risks.

Under CCPA, GDPR, and other applicable privacy laws, you have the full legal right to access, check, correct, update, and request deletion of your personal data stored on our website.
