Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data
Our processing of your personal information is based on several legal grounds, depending on the specific purpose of the processing . These legal bases include:
- Consent: We may process your personal information when you have given us your explicit consent to do so, such as for sending you marketing emails.
- Performance of a Contract: We process your personal information when it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, such as when you place an order and we need to process your payment and shipping details to fulfill that order.
- Legitimate Interests: We may process your personal information when it is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, provided that your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. Examples include improving our website and services, analyzing website traffic, and ensuring the security of our platform.
- Legal Obligations: We may process your personal information when we are required to do so by law, such as for tax or accounting purposes.
- Vital Interests: In rare cases, we may process your personal information when it is necessary to protect your vital interests or those of another person.
Understanding these legal bases is crucial for legal compliance and demonstrates our awareness of data protection principles. While Naturaldye.us may operate primarily in a specific jurisdiction, adhering to these principles reflects a commitment to data protection best practices that can adapt to future regulatory changes and cater to a global customer base.
Sharing Your Personal Information
We may share your personal information with certain third parties to help us provide our services effectively . These categories of recipients include:
- Vendors and Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors who provide services on our behalf, such as payment processors like PayPal, shipping companies to deliver your orders, and email marketing platforms to send you communications if you have opted in.

We ensure that these third parties have access to your personal information only to perform their specific services for Naturaldye.us and that they are contractually obligated to protect your information in accordance with applicable data protection laws . This transparency about data sharing is vital for maintaining user trust, as it clarifies who else might have access to their information and for what legitimate purposes.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and other similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze website traffic, and personalize content . Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you use our website, and improve its functionality. We may use different types of cookies, including essential cookies necessary for the website to function, analytical cookies to track website usage, and marketing cookies to personalize your experience and provide relevant advertisements. You have the ability to control and manage your cookie preferences. You can typically modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. Many websites also implement a cookie consent banner that allows you to choose which categories of cookies you want to allow. Further details about our use of cookies may be provided in a separate Cookie Notice on our website. Providing clear information and control over cookie preferences is essential for both legal compliance and maintaining user trust in an increasingly privacy-conscious online environment.
Data Retention
We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law . The specific retention period may vary depending on the type of data and the purpose for which it was collected. For example, we typically retain order history for a longer period than browsing data to comply with accounting and tax regulations. We will also retain your information as necessary to resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and protect our legal rights. Establishing clear data retention policies demonstrates responsible data management practices and aligns with legal requirements that mandate retaining data only for as long as necessary.
Data Security
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction . These measures may include encryption, secure servers, access controls, and regular security assessments. While we strive to protect your personal information, it is important to remember that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security against unauthorized third parties . We advise you to access our services within a secure environment and to take precautions to protect your own personal information when online. Demonstrating a commitment to security measures, even while acknowledging the inherent risks of online data transmission, is crucial for building user confidence in our platform.
Children’s Privacy
Naturaldye.us does not knowingly collect personal data from or market to children under the age of 18 . If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete that information from our records as quickly as possible. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately so that we can take appropriate action. This policy reflects our commitment to protecting the privacy of children and complying with relevant laws.

Do Not Track Signals
Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals. As a result, Naturaldye.us does not currently respond to DNT signals .
