Privacy Policy

BARBARITAS LLC ("we", "us", or "our") operates Barbari's Kitchen at https://barbarisharif.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have over it.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, password (stored only as a secure hash), billing and shipping details when you make a purchase, and any messages you send us. We also automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and referring URLs.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To create and manage your account and membership;
• To process orders, payments, refunds, and shipping;
• To provide member support and respond to your inquiries;
• To send service messages and, where permitted, marketing communications you may opt out of;
• To measure traffic, improve the Site, and prevent fraud and abuse.

3. Advertising and Analytics (Microsoft Advertising UET)

We advertise this Site through Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads) and use the Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking (UET) tag on every page of the Site, including this one. The UET tag is a small piece of JavaScript that runs in your browser and, together with a cookie it sets, allows us and Microsoft to:

• Measure which ads and search terms actually lead to a visit, an account signup, or a purchase (conversion tracking);
• Understand how visitors who arrived from a Microsoft Advertising campaign move through and use the Site (audience insights);
• Show you or similar visitors relevant ads for Barbari's Kitchen on Bing, MSN, Outlook.com, and other sites in the Microsoft Advertising network after you leave our Site (remarketing / retargeting).

Through the UET tag, Microsoft may collect your IP address, approximate location, device and browser type, operating system, referring and exit pages, pages viewed and time spent on them, and the date and time of your visit. This data is tied to a browser cookie and, if you are signed in to a Microsoft account, may be associated with that account. We do not use the UET tag to collect your name, email address, password, or payment details -- that information is collected separately as described in Section 1, and we do not pass it to Microsoft for advertising purposes. Microsoft acts as an independent controller of the advertising data it collects and processes it under its own privacy statement, available at privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement.

You have several ways to control or opt out of this tracking: you can decline non-essential cookies through the cookie banner on this Site or through your browser settings, as described in Section 4; you can manage the ad personalization Microsoft associates with your Microsoft account at account.microsoft.com/privacy; and you can opt out of interest-based advertising from Microsoft and other participating companies at optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.com (EU/UK visitors). Opting out will not stop advertising entirely, but the ads you see will no longer be personalized based on your activity on this Site.

We may also use other third-party analytics and advertising technologies from time to time in a materially similar way, each governed by that provider's own privacy policy. If we begin using a new advertising or analytics partner in a way that meaningfully changes how your data is collected or shared, we will update this section and revise the "Last updated" date above.

4. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy. You can manage cookies through your browser settings and the opt-out links above.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share data only with service providers who help us operate the Site (such as payment processors, shipping carriers, hosting, and advertising/analytics partners), and when required by law or to protect our rights. These providers are bound to use your information only to perform services for us.

6. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request access to or deletion of that information, to correct inaccurate information, and to opt out of the "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. To make a request, email info@barbarisharif.com.

7. Your European Rights (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or port your personal data, and to object to certain processing. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

8. Data Retention

We retain account information for as long as your account is active and for up to 24 months after closure to meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations. Order records are kept for up to 7 years where required by law. Support messages are retained for up to 24 months. Analytics and advertising data follow the retention schedules of the respective providers.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, including hashing of passwords and encryption in transit. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be posted on this page.
