Cookies
This site uses cookies. “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier to help the site provide a better user experience. In general, cookies are used to retain user preferences, store information for things like shopping carts, and provide anonymous tracking data to third party applications like Google Analytics.
As a rule, cookies will make your browsing experience better. However, you may prefer to disable cookies on this site and on others. The most effective way to do this is to disable cookies in your browser. We suggest consulting the Help section of your browser. Or take a look at the About Cookies website which offers guidance for all modern browsers or the All About Cookies site.
Additionally, we use WordFence and Anti-Spam plugins with cookies to identify site visitors (human or bot) for security purposes. Personal information such as email address, IP address and location, device information, and site login credentials are collected to maintain security of the site and prevent publishing of malicious content.
For social sharing from this site, we use Simple Social Icons, which use cookies to provide browsing information when connecting to social media sites unrelated to this site. No personal identification cookies are used with the social plugins.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
Users and site visitors may have personal data collected, such as name, email address, personal account preferences; transactional data, such as purchase information; and technical data, such as browser information, IP address, and information about cookies.
This data collection occurs from normal page views and user interactions, as well as being generated from technical processes such as comments, contact forms, analytics, cookies, third party embeds, and placing orders through the Buy Now button.
Information is collected as needed for site operation and optimization, and communication with you. Also, with preference you have given to us, we provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.
Purchases information through the Buy Now button is connected through our cart platform, WooCommerce on our site https://reginaldandvex.com. No specific financial data is collected and/or held except by identified third parties to process transactions (see below under Who We Share Data With). When you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through this site, we collect certain data from you (i.e. order information) including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, and phone number.
This site is built on the WordPress platform which does not collect any personal data about visitors, and only collects the data shown on the User Profile screen from registered users.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect information to detect spam through the Akismet anti-spam service. The information typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself).
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Contact forms
This site uses a WP Forms plugin for you as a user to contact the admin of this site. The WP Forms privacy policy is available here. The form is privacy-friendly, collecting the minimal data necessary for the communication which is name and email address. Contact form submissions result in a site-generated email that is sent to our webmail system. Emails from contact forms are communicated with as needed and necessary, retained for customer service purposes, and deleted when no longer necessary. Personal user data received from contact form submissions are not used for marketing purposes in any capacity.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to analyze browsing behavior (track pages visited, to and from pages, length of time on the site pages, etc.), to optimize the site, and to use for relevant marketing and advertising campaigns. However, data collection is currently turned off for remarketing and advertising features or purposes.
This site uses the plugin Google Analytics Dashboard for WP (GADWP), which is connected to our Google Analytics accounts, to provide us with analytic information about visitors in a condensed format within the site backend. You can read about Google’s security and privacy principles here. You can opt-out of Google Analytics by visiting this page.
Who We Share Your Data With
We share your personal information with third parties to provide communication and services noted above. Sharing your data with Google Analytics helps us understand our site visitors and customers’ activities.
Sharing your personal data (name and email address as well as IP address) with OHWO allows us to communicate with you through email and relevant advertising of our products and services.
By using WooCommerce as our ecommerce platform, we share personal information with WooCommerce to successfully conduct sales transactions. Read WooCommerce’s privacy policy here.
Personal financial information used for purchase transactions are shared with third party payment processors. In our store we use PayPal. For personal data usage, read PayPal’s privacy policy here.
We will not store or collect your payment card details. That information is provided directly to our third-party payment processors whose use of your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy. These payment processors adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. This website uses embedded content from Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook. Links in the previous statement go to those individual privacy policies.
