Privacy policy
Last modified: 8 July 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal data is collected, used, stored and shared when you visit the website https://larbredeschakras.com (the "Site"), when you make a purchase on it, when you contact our customer service or when you interact with our marketing communications.
It has been drawn up in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of personal data (the "GDPR"), French Law No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978 as amended (the "Informatique et Libertés" Act) and the applicable rules on cookies and direct marketing.
ARTICLE 1 – DATA CONTROLLER
The controller of the personal data collected on the Site is:
SARL KAMALIA
Registered with the Montpellier Trade and Companies Register (RCS) under number 888522786
20 route de Villeveyrac, 34140 Mèze
France
Email: info@larbredeschakras.com
Phone: 04 69 96 22 52
SARL KAMALIA has not appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO). For any question about your personal data or to exercise your rights, you can contact us directly at the email address given above.
ARTICLE 2 – PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED
We collect only the data needed for the purposes described in this policy. Depending on how you use the Site, the following categories of data may be collected:
- Identification and contact information: surname, first name, email address, phone number, billing address, delivery address.
- Order information: products purchased, order amount, delivery address, billing address, order status, return or refund requests.
- Payment information: payment method used, payment status, transaction references. Full bank card details are processed directly by our secure payment providers and are not accessible to us.
- Delivery information: information needed to prepare, ship, track and deliver your package.
- Customer service information: content of your requests, history of our exchanges by email, form, chat or any other support channel.
- Reviews and user-generated content: reviews, ratings, comments, photos or videos that you choose to publish on the Site.

- Connection and browsing information: IP address, browser type, device used, pages viewed, date and time of connection, browsing path, cookie identifiers or similar trackers.
- Security and fraud prevention data: technical signals, transaction information, any inconsistencies, risk score or alerts generated by our payment and security providers.
Data sources: this data is collected directly from you when you provide it, automatically while you browse through cookies or similar technologies, or from our providers where this is necessary for payment, delivery, fraud prevention or customer service.
Mandatory data: at the time of collection, mandatory data is marked with an asterisk (*) or is necessary for the requested processing. If you do not provide this information, we may not be able to process your order, deliver your products or respond to your request.
No customer account: our Site does not offer a customer account area specific to L'Arbre des Chakras. We therefore do not collect a customer account username or password to manage a customer area on our Site. If you use a service provided directly by Shopify, such as Shop or Shop Pay where available, the related processing is described in Article 6.
Protection of minors: our Site is not intended for minors under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe that a minor has sent us personal data, you can contact us so that we can take the appropriate measures.

ARTICLE 6 – RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY
Our shop is powered by Shopify, which provides us with the technical infrastructure needed to operate the Site, including hosting of the shop, the cart, the checkout, the processing of certain order data and the tools needed to provide e-commerce services.
For the processing needed to operate our shop, SARL KAMALIA remains the controller of your personal data, and Shopify generally acts as a service provider or processor on our instructions and under the applicable contractual terms.
Certain Shopify features may, however, involve Shopify processing personal data as an independent controller, in particular when you use services provided directly by Shopify or certain advanced features relating to analytics, personalization, advertising, Shop, Shop Pay or services involving interactions between our shop, other merchants and Shopify.
Where these features are enabled and applicable, Shopify may use certain information from your interactions with our shop, with Shopify or with other merchants using Shopify in order to provide, secure, develop or improve its services. Processing based on targeted advertising or on cookies and similar technologies subject to consent is carried out only with your consent where it is required.
To find out more about the processing Shopify carries out on its own behalf, you can read the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy. You can also use the Shopify privacy portal to exercise certain rights relating to processing carried out by Shopify.
If your request concerns processing for which we are the controller, you can contact us at info@larbredeschakras.com. If your request concerns processing carried out by Shopify as an independent controller, Shopify may handle your request directly under its own procedures.
ARTICLE 7 – DATA TRANSFERS OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN UNION
Some of our providers or partners may process personal data outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, in particular in Canada, the United States or certain countries in Asia, where this is necessary for hosting, payment, marketing, analytics, customer support, or the shipping or delivery of your orders.
We make sure to limit the data transferred to what is strictly necessary for the purpose concerned. Depending on the case, these transfers are governed by an adequacy decision of the European Commission, by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, by the provider's participation in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where applicable, or by any other safeguard provided for by the GDPR.
- Shopify: our shop is provided by Shopify, a Canadian company. Canada benefits from an adequacy decision of the European Commission for covered commercial organizations. Where Shopify or its processors transfer data to other countries, these transfers may be governed by appropriate safeguards, in particular the Standard Contractual Clauses.
- Providers based in the United States: certain marketing, advertising, payment, support or analytics providers may process data in the United States. Where applicable, these transfers rely on participation in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or on the Standard Contractual Clauses.
- Suppliers and logistics partners outside the EU: in order to prepare, ship and track your orders, we may pass on the strictly necessary data, such as surname, first name, address, phone number, email address and order contents, to suppliers, warehouses or carriers located outside the EU. These transfers are limited to fulfilling your order and must be governed by appropriate safeguards where the country concerned does not benefit from an adequacy decision.
You can contact us at info@larbredeschakras.com for further information on the safeguards that apply to transfers of your data.

Payments are processed by our secure payment providers, which apply the security requirements that govern payment processing, in particular the PCI-DSS standards where these are required. We do not have access to your full bank card details.
Despite the measures in place, no system can guarantee absolute security. We ask you not to send us sensitive information through unsecured channels and to report to us any suspicious activity relating to an order.

Our Site uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure it works properly, remember your cart, secure browsing, measure audience, improve the user experience, personalize certain content and, subject to your consent, carry out targeted advertising or campaign measurement.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to work and do not require your consent. Non-essential cookies, in particular advertising cookies, social media pixels, certain audience measurement cookies, and heatmap or session recording tools, are placed only with your consent where it is required.
On your first visit, a cookie management banner lets you accept, refuse or customize cookies. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time through the cookie management tool available on the Site.
