Introduction

At Autic World, we value the trust our customers place in us and are committed to protecting your privacy and safeguarding your personal information. Whether you browse our website, make a purchase, subscribe to our newsletters, contact our customer support team, or interact with us through mobile devices or other digital platforms, we are committed to handling your information responsibly, transparently, and securely.

This Privacy Policy explains how Autic World(“AuTiC”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects your personal information when you visit https://auticworld.com, purchase our products, communicate with our team, or use any of our online services.

As a global online jewelry retailer, we serve customers across multiple countries and comply with applicable privacy and data protection laws wherever our products and services are offered. Depending on your location, your rights may be governed by regulations including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), UK GDPR, California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), Canada’s PIPEDA, Australia’s Privacy Act, India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act), and other applicable privacy laws.

We believe privacy is an essential part of delivering a secure and trustworthy shopping experience. We only collect information that is necessary to provide our products and services, improve your experience, fulfil legal obligations, and communicate with you when appropriate.

By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

To provide a secure and seamless shopping experience, we collect different categories of information depending on how you interact with Autic World.

Personal Information You Provide. When you place an order, create an account, subscribe to our newsletter, contact customer support, participate in promotions, or otherwise communicate with us, you may provide information including full name, email address, mobile or telephone number, billing address, shipping address, company name (where applicable), account login credentials, customer support enquiries, product reviews and feedback, and communication preferences. Where payments are processed, your payment details are securely handled by our authorized third-party payment providers — Autic World does not store complete payment card information on its own servers.

When you purchase products from Autic World, we collect information necessary to process and fulfil your order, including products purchased, order number, order value, shipping method, delivery information, invoice details, payment confirmation, order history, returns and exchanges, refund requests, and warranty or service enquiries.

When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically to improve website performance, security, and user experience — including IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, screen resolution, time zone, language preferences, internet service provider, and device identifiers.

Website Usage Information. We may automatically collect information about how visitors interact with our website, including pages visited, products viewed, time spent on pages, navigation paths, click behavior, search terms used, referring websites, entry and exit pages, shopping cart activity, and wishlist activity (where available).

Cookies and Similar Technologies. Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve website functionality, personalize content, remember customer preferences, analyze website traffic, and support marketing activities. Depending on your browser settings and consent preferences, we may use essential, functional, performance, analytics, and marketing cookies — more detail is provided in the Cookies & Tracking Technologies section below.

Information from Third Parties. We may receive information from trusted third-party service providers where permitted by applicable law, including payment service providers, shipping and logistics partners, fraud prevention providers, marketing platforms, analytics providers, advertising partners, and social media platforms (when you choose to interact with us through them). Any information received from third parties is processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable privacy laws.

How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information only where necessary to provide our services, improve customer experience, comply with legal obligations, and operate our business responsibly.

Your information may be used to:

• Process and fulfil orders, verify payments, and deliver purchased products
• Arrange shipping and logistics, order confirmations, and shipping notifications
• Respond to customer enquiries and provide after-sales support
• Process returns, exchanges, and refunds
• Improve website performance and personalize your shopping experience

We do not sell your personal information. Autic World respects your privacy — we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Where information is shared with trusted service providers, it is solely for the purpose of delivering our services, processing transactions, improving customer experience, or complying with legal obligations. All authorized service providers are required to implement appropriate privacy and security measures.

Legal Basis for Processing

Where required under applicable privacy laws, including the GDPR and UK GDPR, Autic World processes personal information using one or more lawful bases.

Consent. We rely on your consent when sending marketing emails, promotional newsletters, delivering personalized offers, using optional cookies, and conducting certain marketing activities. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Contract Performance. We process personal information where necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations, including processing purchases, delivering products, managing customer accounts, processing payments, handling returns and refunds, and providing customer support. Without this information, we may be unable to provide the requested products or services.

Legal Obligations. Certain information may be processed to comply with applicable legal requirements, including tax regulations, accounting obligations, fraud prevention, consumer protection laws, court orders, and regulatory investigations.

Legitimate Interests. We may process personal information where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided such interests do not override your privacy rights — for example, improving website functionality, enhancing customer experience, analyzing website performance, preventing fraud, maintaining network security, conducting internal business analytics, developing new products and services, improving marketing effectiveness, and responding to customer feedback. Whenever we rely on legitimate interests, we carefully assess the impact on your privacy and implement appropriate safeguards.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Autic World uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide a secure, personalized, and efficient shopping experience. Cookies help us remember your preferences, improve website performance, analyze visitor behavior, and deliver relevant content and marketing communications. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website.

Essential Cookies. Necessary for the operation and security of our website — shopping cart functionality, secure customer login, checkout process, payment processing, website security, fraud prevention, session management, and language/currency preferences. These cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.

Functional Cookies. Remember preferred language, preferred currency, saved wishlist items, recently viewed products, login preferences, and region or country selection.

Performance & Analytics Cookies. Help us understand how visitors use our website — pages visited, products viewed, time spent on pages, bounce rates, navigation paths, device and browser information, and website performance metrics. We may use trusted analytics providers, including Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Clarity (where implemented). This information is generally aggregated and does not directly identify individual users.

Marketing & Advertising Cookies. Help us deliver relevant advertisements and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, including displaying personalized advertisements, measuring campaign performance, preventing repetitive advertisements, and building audience insights. Marketing technologies may include Google Ads, Meta Pixel, Klaviyo, and other approved advertising and remarketing platforms. Marketing cookies are used only where permitted by applicable law and, where required, with your consent.

Managing Cookies. Most web browsers allow you to control, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings. You may accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, delete previously stored cookies, or configure browser notifications for new cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality, including shopping cart features, account access, and personalized experiences.

Marketing Communications

We would like to keep you informed about new collections, exclusive launches, promotions, events, and product updates that may interest you. Where permitted by applicable law or with your consent, we may communicate with you through email newsletters, promotional emails, SMS notifications, WhatsApp communications, push notifications, and customer account notifications.

You remain in control of your communication preferences at all times. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link included in our emails, updating your account preferences, or contacting our Customer Support team. Unsubscribing will not affect transactional emails such as order confirmations, shipping updates, payment confirmations, and customer service responses.

Sharing Your Information

Protecting customer privacy is fundamental to our business. We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes. We only share information where necessary to operate our business, fulfil customer orders, comply with legal obligations, or provide requested services — with payment service providers, shipping & logistics partners, customer support providers, email & marketing platforms (such as Klaviyo), analytics providers (including Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity), fraud prevention & security providers, and legal & regulatory authorities where required.

International Data Transfers

Autic World serves customers across multiple countries worldwide. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries other than your country of residence — including when working with payment providers, shipping companies, cloud hosting providers, customer support platforms, marketing providers, analytics services, and technology partners.

Where international transfers occur, we implement appropriate safeguards designed to protect your personal information in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including contractual data protection obligations, approved international transfer mechanisms, security assessments, vendor due diligence, and technical and organizational safeguards.

Data Security

Protecting customer information is a priority at Autic World. We implement a combination of administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to help protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, or destruction — including SSL encryption, secure website hosting, encrypted data transmission, access controls for authorized personnel only, secure payment processing through trusted providers, firewall protection, malware monitoring, website security monitoring, routine software updates, internal security policies, and employee confidentiality obligations.

While we work continuously to maintain a secure environment, no website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can guarantee absolute security. We therefore encourage customers to use strong passwords, protect their account credentials, and notify us immediately if they suspect any unauthorized access to their account.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain appropriate business records. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information collected.

When personal information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and the applicable privacy laws, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. Autic World respects these rights and provides reasonable assistance when you submit a valid request. You may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal obligations
• Restrict or object to certain types of data processing
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Request a copy of your personal information in a portable format where applicable
• Opt out of direct marketing communications at any time
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe your rights have been violated

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided in the Contact Us section. We may request identity verification before processing your request to help protect your information.

Children’s Privacy

Autic World is intended for individuals who have reached the minimum legal age required to provide personal information under applicable laws. Our website is not directed toward children under the age of 13, or any higher minimum age required within your country or region. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child without appropriate parental or legal guardian consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information promptly.

Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided personal information may contact us to request its removal.

Third-Party Services and External Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, payment providers, or external services for your convenience. These third-party services operate independently and maintain their own privacy policies and terms of use. Autic World is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of external websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party website before providing personal information.

International Privacy Compliance

Because Autic World serves customers worldwide, we aim to align our privacy practices with internationally recognized privacy principles and applicable regulations where they apply, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), UK GDPR, California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), where applicable, and other applicable regional privacy and consumer protection laws. We regularly review and update our privacy practices to maintain compliance with evolving privacy regulations and industry best practices.
