What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
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: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

We use Klaviyo.com SMS text message platform to house your phone numbers and create messages. Klaviyo is a secure platform that we have used before and trust it. Please read more about Klaviyo here.
Contact forms
We use contact forms to allow you to directly contact us from the website. We use Contact Form 7, a WordPress plugin to help us keep form submissions. We keep these form submissions for 6 months so we have a reference of your questions and comments to make your shopping experience better.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, 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. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

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 tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Email Opt In/Constant Contact
We give our customers multiple options to sign up/subscribe to our email list here on TheKratomFamily.com. Your email will never be sold to a third party or another outside source. Your email and other personal information will never be sold and is safe. We only use this to make your buying experience more personal at The Kratom Family. We also send logged in customers who abandon their carts email reminders to allow them the opportunity to make their purchase in a timely manner. By abandoning your cart and filling out the form you agree to allow us to send you these reminders to recover your cart. Also, you will be added to our email list upon filling out our checkout page when you purchase one of our products. You have the opportunity to uncheck this box if you do not want to be subscribed. We use the email autoresponder ConstantContact.com to help us provide you with a better experience. This email provider will track your cookies and save your preferences for future use. The Kratom Family/Botanical Family, Inc. will never sell your email or private information. We will only use this to communicate with you.
Analytics
By default, WordPress does not track analytics data. We use analytics tracking the visitors on our website from Google Analytics, an outside analytics tracker. You can opt out of Google Analytics, however, doing so could affect your experience not only on this website, but every website you visit.
Who we share your data with
All of the data & emails we collect from this website will be used to make your buying experience more personal. If you become a customer/community member of The Kratom Family, you are giving us the right to share your data with very legitimate sources. We use WAAVE to receive your purchase. Your data will be shared with these companies in order to complete your purchase. The Kratom Family does not have access to this data.
When you opt in to our email list, you are sharing your data with our email provider, Constant Contact. Constant Contact is a reputable email autoresponder business which follows the CANSPAM laws and therefore also wants to protect your personal data.
While you are shopping in our store, you will be using the WooCommerce platform. This is one of the most preferred ecommerce platforms for WordPress. WooCommerce does collect and store some of your information. Here is what that entails:
While you visit our site, we’ll track:
- Products you’ve viewed: we’ll use this to, for example, show you products you’ve recently viewed
- Location, IP address and browser type: we’ll use this for purposes like estimating taxes and shipping
- Shipping address: we’ll ask you to enter this so we can, for instance, estimate shipping before you place an order, and send you the order!
We’ll also use cookies (see cookies above) to keep track of cart contents while you’re browsing our site.
When you purchase from us, we’ll ask you to provide information including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, credit card/payment details and optional account information like username and password. We’ll use this information for purposes, such as, to:
- Send you information about your account and order
- Respond to your requests, including refunds and complaints
- Process payments and prevent fraud
- Set up your account for our store
- Comply with any legal obligations we have, such as calculating taxes
- Improve our store offerings
- Send you marketing messages, if you choose to receive them
If you create an account, we will store your name, address, email and phone number, which will be used to populate the checkout for future orders.
We generally store information about you for as long as we need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it, and we are not legally required to continue to keep it. For example, we will store order information for 10 years for tax and accounting purposes. This includes your name, email address and billing and shipping addresses.
Yotpo.com
We will also store comments or reviews, if you choose to leave them. Our Reviews feature will also track your use on this site. We use Yotpo.com reviews and they also want to protect all of your personal and private information.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
