Privacy Policy

At Grancis (accessible at https://grancis.store), accessible from the United States and internationally, safeguarding the privacy of our clientele, patrons, and website visitors is of paramount importance. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information collected, processed, and recorded by Grancis and explains how that data is utilized, stored, and protected in compliance with applicable global privacy frameworks including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), and Google publisher policies.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us as well as data automatically gathered through your interaction with our online store and editorial journal:

• Personal Identifying Information: When you subscribe to our newsletter, place an order, contact our concierge, or inquire regarding custom tailoring, we may collect your name, email address, telephone number, billing and shipping address, and order history.
• Transaction & Payment Details: Payment details are securely processed through end-to-end encrypted third-party payment gateways. Grancis never stores full credit card numbers or banking credentials on our local servers.
• Log Data & Device Diagnostics: Like most standard web servers, our systems automatically log details transmitted by your browser, including internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and click counts.

2. Third-Party Advertising and Google AdSense

Grancis works with third-party vendors and ad networks, notably Google AdSense, to serve advertisements when you visit our website.

• Google's Use of Advertising Cookies: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on Grancis. Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visits to our site and/or other sites across the Internet.
• User Opt-Out Mechanism: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings page. Alternatively, you may opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out portal at www.aboutads.info.
• Third-Party Ad Networks: Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology in their respective advertisements and links that appear on Grancis, which are sent directly to your web browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. Other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) may also be used by these third-party ad networks to measure the effectiveness of their campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see.
• Please note that Grancis has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.

3. Cookies and Web Beacons

Grancis uses cookies to store visitor preferences, record user-specific information on which pages the user accesses or visits, customize web page content based on visitors' browser type, and optimize user experience. You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. Detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers' respective websites.

4. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a resident of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act provides you with specific rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Know: You have the right to request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal data we have collected about you over the past 12 months.
• Right to Delete: You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data held by us, subject to statutory exceptions.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale / Sharing: Grancis does not sell personal information in exchange for monetary compensation.

• Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights.

5. European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
