K-Gallery ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website k-gallery.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process personal information when you visit our Site, create an account, make a purchase, use our AI-powered features, or interact with us in any other way. By using our Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including:
- Account information — When you create an account or log in via Shopify Customer Account, we collect your name and email address.
- Orders and purchase history — Order details, shipping addresses, and payment information are processed and stored by Shopify. We access order data to display your purchase history.
- User-generated content — Blog posts, comments, and other content you submit to the Site.
- Skin analysis inputs — If you use our AI Skin Analysis feature, we collect the information you provide such as skin type, skin concerns, and related preferences. These inputs are processed by AI to generate personalized recommendations.

- Newsletter subscriptions — Email address provided when you subscribe to our newsletter or marketing communications.
3. Automatically Collected Information
When you visit the Site, we and our third-party service providers automatically collect certain information, including:
- Device and browser information — Browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and device identifiers.
- IP address — Your Internet Protocol address, which may indicate your approximate geographic location.
- Usage data — Pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, click patterns, and navigation paths.
- Cookies and similar technologies — We use cookies, local storage, and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, remember your preferences, and collect analytics data. See Section 8 for details on cookie management.
4. Third-Party Services & Analytics
We use third-party services to operate, analyze, and improve the Site. These services fall into the following categories:
- Website analytics — We use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the Site, including page views, session duration, user demographics, and feature usage. Some anonymous analytics data is collected without consent; full tracking (including user identification) is activated with your analytics consent.
- Session replay and heatmaps — We use tools that record user sessions and generate heatmaps to understand how users interact with the Site. Activated with analytics consent.
- Error monitoring — We use error tracking services that are always active to ensure Site reliability. These collect technical error data and do not collect personal information such as names or email addresses.
- Advertising and conversion tracking — We use advertising pixels from social media and advertising platforms for conversion tracking and targeted advertising. Activated with your marketing consent.
- Bot protection — We use security services on forms to verify that you are a real user. These may collect device and browser data during verification.
- E-commerce platform — Our e-commerce platform handles payment processing, order management, and user authentication.
5. AI & Automated Processing
We use artificial intelligence (AI) services from third-party providers for the following purposes:
- AI Skin Analysis — When you use the AI Skin Analysis feature, your inputs (skin type, concerns, and preferences) are sent to an AI service provider to generate personalized skincare recommendations and product suggestions. These recommendations are for informational purposes only and do not constitute medical advice. You should consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical skin concerns.
- Content moderation — User-submitted posts and comments are screened using AI to detect and filter inappropriate, harmful, or policy-violating content before publication.
- Product categorization — AI is used to automatically tag and categorize products (e.g., identifying skincare product types and attributes) to improve search and recommendation accuracy.
Data sent to our AI service providers is processed via their API services, which means your data is not used to train their AI models.

We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:
- Provide and improve our services — Operate the Site, process transactions, deliver content, and develop new features.

We do not sell your personal information directly. However, we do share data with advertising partners for targeted advertising purposes. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), this sharing of data with advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. See Section 9 for your rights regarding this activity.

- Analytics (requires consent) — Helps us understand Site usage. Includes website analytics, session replay, heatmaps, and full user tracking with identification.
- Marketing (requires consent) — Enables targeted advertising and conversion tracking via advertising pixels from social media and ad platforms.
When you first visit the Site, a cookie consent banner will appear allowing you to accept or customize your preferences. You can update your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the cookie icon in the Site footer or by clearing your browser cookies to trigger the consent banner again.
