Information That We Collect

At Aroma, we take our customers’ trust seriously.  We do not collect personal information while you are generally browsing or reading through the website.  However, we do collect non-personal information that is not connected to a name or other personally identifying data.  We require personal information when you purchase a product or create an account for participation in Aroma Club as it is necessary for processing product orders or other requests.  The following explains the types of information that we collect:

Personal information that you provide

Personal information, such as your name, address, or email address is collected whenever you create (or log on to) a user account, register a product, return a product under warranty, or purchase a product from our website.  This information includes shipping and billing information, general contact information, passwords, and other information that can be used to identify you personally.  All personal information submitted to us is maintained and stored in encrypted form on secure servers.

We only use sensitive personal information such as credit card information for payment processing and fraud prevention.  Unless you ask us to retain your credit card information for future purchases, we or our financial service providers will not keep credit card information and sensitive personal information longer than is necessary to provide you with the services that you request.

Uses of That Information

We collect information for the purposes of providing products and services, conducting internal marketing studies, and improving the operation of our website.  Specifically, we use your information to help you complete an order or transaction, to communicate with you, to provide service and support, to update you on services and benefits, to personalize promotional offers, and to further understand your needs and interests.  Occasionally, we may also use your information to contact you for market research regarding Aroma products or services.

If the personal information that we collect will be used in a manner that is different than the purpose for which it was originally collected, we will ask for your consent prior to use.  We will also offer you an effective way to opt out if we wish to use personal information in a different manner than what is described in this privacy policy.
