3. How does HomeLava.com use cookies and other technologies?
We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and analyze site traffic.
● Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to: speed up navigation, recognize returning users, remember items in your shopping cart, track site usage, and personalize content.
● Web Beacons (clear GIFs) help us measure the effectiveness of our content and ads, and compile analytics about site activity.
You may set your browser to refuse cookies or delete them; however, some parts of our Site may not function properly. We may also allow third-party advertising partners (e.g., Google, social media platforms) to place cookies and web beacons to deliver relevant ads. These third parties do not receive access to your personally identifiable information unless you directly provide it to them. For more control over third-party cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or visit industry opt-out pages (e.g., YourAdChoices).
4. Does HomeLava.com share your personal information?
We do not sell, rent, trade, or license your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We only share your information in the following limited circumstances:
● Service Providers: We share necessary information (name, shipping address, email, phone number) with logistics partners such as DHL, UPS, and USPS to deliver orders. We provide credit card details to payment processors (Stripe, PayPal, etc.) and financial institutions solely for payment authorization. All payment data is encrypted (see Section 5).
● Legal Compliance & Protection: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or lawful request by public authorities, or when necessary to protect our legal rights, enforce our Terms of Use, or prevent fraud/illegal activities.
● Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal information may be transferred to a successor entity, subject to the same Privacy Policy or a substantially similar notice.
● Aggregated / Anonymized Data: We may share non-personally identifiable information (e.g., number of daily visitors, average order value) with advertising partners or analytics providers for market insights.
5. How does HomeLava.com secure my information?
We implement physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information, including:
● SSL Encryption: All payment transactions and account logins are secured using 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.
● Access Controls: Only employees who require access to perform specific duties (e.g., customer support, billing) can view your data.
● Third-Party Vetting: We work only with service providers who maintain industry-standard security measures.
While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We continuously review and improve our security practices, but we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location (e.g., under applicable privacy laws like GDPR, CCPA, or PIPL), you may have the right to:
● Access, correct, or update your personal information.
● Request deletion of your personal information (subject to legal exceptions).
● Restrict or object to certain processing activities (e.g., direct marketing).

7. Children’s privacy
Protecting children’s privacy is critical. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 14 years of age (or such higher age as required by applicable law, e.g., 16 in certain jurisdictions). If you are under 14, please do not submit any personal information to us. Use of our Site by children under 14 is permitted only with the verifiable consent and direct supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 14 without appropriate parental consent, we will delete that information promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us with personal information may contact us at info@homelava.com to request removal.
8. Offline collection, use & disclosure of information
Although our primary collection method is online, we also collect personal information offline (e.g., through customer service phone calls, postal mail, or in-person events). We apply the same privacy practices to offline data:
● When you call us regarding an order or payment, we only ask for the information necessary to resolve your issue.
● Any offline information we retain (e.g., order details provided over the phone) is entered into our secure database using the same SSL encryption and access controls described above.
● This Privacy Policy applies to offline collection as well, unless otherwise specified.
9. Third-party links & services
Our Site may contain links to external websites or services (e.g., social media platforms, payment gateways). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
10. Updates to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or operational needs. Any material changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
