1. Who We Are

[Company Name] operates [Website/App URL] and provides [brief description of services]. Our registered address is [Address]. For privacy questions, contact us at [Contact Email].

2. Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information when you visit our website, create an account, purchase products or services, or otherwise interact with us online or offline.

3. Information We Collect

  • Identifiers & contact details: name, email, phone, billing/shipping address, account credentials.
  • Commercial data: order history, saved items, support interactions.
  • Internet/technical data: IP address, device/browser type, pages viewed, referring/exit pages, approximate location.
  • Payment data: limited payment details processed by our payment processors (we do not store full card numbers).
  • User-generated content: reviews, messages, uploads.
  • Sensitive or special data: only if you choose to provide it or where required by law (we minimize this wherever possible).

4. Sources of Information

We collect information directly from you, automatically via cookies and similar technologies, and from third parties such as analytics, advertising partners, fraud-prevention providers, and social sign-in platforms.

5. How We Use Information

  • Provide and improve our services, process orders, payments, and deliveries.
  • Respond to inquiries, provide support, and communicate about your account or transactions.
  • Personalize content, measure performance, and develop new features.
  • Send marketing communications where permitted (you can opt out anytime).
  • Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, and enforce terms.
  • Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights and users.

6. Legal Bases (GDPR/UK GDPR)

Where applicable, we process personal data under one or more legal bases: contract performance, legitimate interests (e.g., service improvement, security), consent (e.g., certain marketing/cookies), and legal obligations.

7. Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, and local storage to keep you signed in, remember preferences, analyze traffic, and measure campaigns. You can control cookies via your browser settings and (where required) consent preferences.

8. Sharing Your Information

We share your personal data with your consent or as necessary to complete any transaction or provide any service you have requested or authorized. For example, we share your content with third parties when you tell us to do so. When you provide payment data to make a purchase, we will share payment data with banks and other entities that process payment transactions or provide other financial services, and for fraud prevention and credit risk reduction.

In addition, we share personal data among our controlled affiliates and subsidiaries. We also share personal data with vendors or agents working on our behalf for the purposes described in this statement. For example, companies we've hired to provide customer service support or assist in protecting and securing our systems and services may need access to personal data in order to provide those functions. In such cases, these companies must abide by our data privacy and security requirements and are not allowed to use personal data they receive from us for any other purpose.

We may also disclose personal data as part of a corporate transaction such as a merger or sale of assets.

9. Mobile Information Sale or Sharing

Your mobile information, including your mobile phone number, will not be sold or shared with third parties for promotional or marketing purposes.

10. Data Retention

We keep personal information as long as necessary for the purposes stated in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

11. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. International Transfers

If you are located outside [Country], we may transfer and store your information in countries with different data protection laws. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

13. Your Rights

You may have rights under applicable privacy laws, such as the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and to data portability. To exercise these rights, contact us at [Contact Email].

14. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13 (or other age as required by local law), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated “Effective Date” and will be effective as soon as it is accessible.
