Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 17, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Taoist World, collects and uses personal information when you visit taoist-world.com, contact us, or place an order.
1. Information We Collect
When you place an order, we collect the information needed to process it, such as your name, email address, telephone number, billing and delivery addresses, the products ordered, measurements or customization instructions you provide, and your order history.
If you create an account, submit a review, or contact us, we also collect the information you choose to provide through those features.
Our website and service providers may collect technical information, such as your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, and information stored through cookies or similar technologies.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Process payments, prepare and fulfill orders, arrange delivery, and provide tracking information.
- Communicate with you about your order, questions, returns, or other customer-service matters.
- Prepare a personalized consecration for an ordered item. For this purpose, Taoist Priest Weiqingshan receives the recipient’s name, country, and city—not the full delivery address.
- Send order confirmations, shipping updates, and, where applicable, a video of the consecration associated with your order.
- Maintain the security and operation of our website, investigate suspected fraud, and meet applicable record-keeping or legal obligations.
- Understand how visitors use our website and improve its content and services.
We do not currently use customers’ order email addresses to send promotional emails. If we introduce emails about new products or offers, we will explain that use and provide the choices required before using customer email addresses for that purpose.
3. Payments and Delivery
Payments are handled through PayPal, including available card-payment options provided through PayPal. PayPal processes payment information under its own privacy practices. We receive the transaction and order information needed to confirm and manage your purchase.
We share the delivery information needed to ship your order with YunExpress and, where applicable, its transport and local delivery partners. The final delivery company may vary by destination.
4. Ceremony Videos
We may record a consecration ceremony and send the video privately to the customer as part of our order service. A public video showing a ceremony is presented as an example of our practice; it does not include a customer’s name, address, or order details.
5. Other Service Providers
We use service providers to operate our website and communicate with customers. These may include website hosting and security providers, email services, Google services used for site measurement, and Tawk.to for website chat. Our site also uses Cloudflare security services, including Turnstile on relevant forms.
These providers may process information needed to deliver their services. We may also disclose information when required by applicable law or when reasonably necessary to address fraud, security incidents, or legal claims. We do not sell customer order information.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website uses cookies or similar technologies to support functions such as shopping carts, account sessions, security, and site preferences. Measurement or other third-party tools may also collect information about visits and interactions with the site.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings and any cookie-choice controls provided on our website. Blocking some cookies may affect how the cart, checkout, or other site features work.
7. International Processing
Taoist World is operated from China and serves customers in different countries. Information you provide may be accessed or processed in China and in countries where our payment, website, communication, or delivery providers operate. For example, order information must be shared with the services involved in payment and delivery.
Where applicable data-protection law requires a particular safeguard or procedure for an international transfer, we will address that requirement. You can contact us for information about transfers relevant to your data.
8. How Long We Keep Information
We keep personal information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy. The period depends on the type of information and why it is held—for example, whether an order is still being fulfilled, a customer-service issue remains open, or accounting, tax, dispute-resolution, or other legal requirements apply.
When information is no longer needed, we delete it or take steps to make it no longer identifiable, subject to the operation of our systems and applicable law.
9. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information and limit access to people and providers who need it for the purposes described in this policy. No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
10. Your Choices and Rights
You may contact us to ask what personal information we hold about you, request a correction, or request deletion. Depending on the law that applies to you and the reason we hold the information, you may have additional rights, including rights to object to or restrict certain processing and to receive a copy of your information.
Some information may need to be retained to complete an order or meet legal obligations. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. If you are in a jurisdiction that provides a right to complain to a data-protection authority, you may exercise that right.
To make a privacy request, email [email protected].
11. Children
Our products and website are not directed to children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can review the matter.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as our services or practices change. The current version will be posted on this page with its “Last updated” date. If a change materially affects how we use information already collected, we will take any additional steps required by applicable law.
