At www.shoetbuy.shop, we prioritize your privacy as much as you value your footwear choices. Trust is the foundation of our relationship with customers, and we are committed to transparency in how we handle your personal information. This policy outlines our practices to ensure you feel secure while browsing, purchasing, or interacting with our platform.
We gather two types of data: automated and voluntary. Automated data includes your IP address, device type, browser version, and browsing behavior—collected via cookies and server logs. Voluntary data encompasses details you provide during account creation, checkout (e.g., email, shipping address), or customer service inquiries, including payment information processed securely through encrypted gateways.
Your information enables seamless order fulfillment, personalized recommendations (like suggesting sporty trainers or durable hiking shoes based on past purchases), and tailored promotions. We analyze aggregated data to improve website functionality, prevent fraud, and respond to inquiries. Account-related details help manage logins, returns, and loyalty programs, while marketing analytics refine our campaigns to match your preferences.
Cookies enhance your experience by remembering cart items, optimizing page loads, and powering features like "Recently Viewed" products. Analytical cookies track trends (e.g., popularity of canvas sneakers vs. loafers) without identifying individuals. You may adjust browser settings to block non-essential cookies, though this may limit functionalities such as one-click checkout.
We employ industry-standard protocols: SSL encryption for data transfers, tokenization for payment processing, and regular security audits. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel trained in confidentiality. While no system is infallible, we implement proactive measures like two-factor authentication and anomaly detection to mitigate risks.
Trusted partners assist in operations—payment processors (Stripe, PayPal), logistics providers for delivery, and marketing platforms for targeted ads. Shared data is minimized (e.g., only shipping details to couriers) and governed by strict confidentiality agreements. We vet third parties for GDPR/CCPA compliance and prohibit data misuse.
You retain rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your data under applicable laws. To exercise these rights or report concerns, contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected]. We respond within 30 days and may verify your identity to prevent unauthorized requests.
