To fullfil your order and ship the chakra bracelets you selected, we need your personal data such as your first and last name, your email address, your payment account and your shipping and billing address (some maybe optional). We also use your contact and order information to send you messages related to your order(s). You need to provide this information in our “Checkout” page before your payment.

It also gives you access to additional features of our website, such as wishlists, customizable kits, and easy access to your past orders. You also have the option of deleting your account.
