Privacy Policy
Effective Date: [Insert Date]
At Proud Irish American, your privacy is important to us. We know how annoying it is to have your data treated like it’s up for auction, so rest assured—we treat your personal information with care, respect, and zero shenanigans.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to your data.
1. What Information We Collect
When you visit our website, shop with us, or sign up for our newsletter, we may collect the following information:
- Personal Information: Your name, email address, shipping and billing address, and phone number (if you provide it).
- Payment Info: Processed securely by our third-party payment processor (we don’t store your credit card details).
- Account Info: If you create an account, we keep your login and order history.
- Browsing Data: We collect non-personal info like your IP address, browser type, device type, and site usage via cookies (see Section 4).
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your info to:
- Process and ship your orders
- Email you order confirmations and updates
- Respond to your questions or customer service requests
- Send you occasional updates, special offers, and blog posts (only if you opt in)
- Improve our website and customer experience
No spam. No selling your info to weird data brokers. Ever.
3. How We Share Information
We only share your personal information with:
- Trusted service providers (like our shipping and payment partners) so your orders arrive smoothly
- Legal authorities, if we’re required to comply with the law (but let’s hope it never comes to that)
We never sell, rent, or trade your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies (the digital kind, sadly not chocolate chip) to:
- Keep items in your shopping cart
- Understand how you use our site so we can make it better
- Remember your preferences
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but it might make the site act a little weird.
5. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the data we have about you
- Correct or update your information
- Request we delete your personal info
- Opt out of marketing emails anytime (just hit “unsubscribe” at the bottom of any email)
To make any of these requests, contact us at [your email address or contact form link].
6. Children’s Privacy
Our website isn’t intended for children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect information from anyone that young. If we learn that we have, we’ll delete it right away.
7. Data Security
We use secure encryption, firewalls, and best practices to protect your data. No system is perfect, but we do our best to keep the bad guys out.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy now and then. If we make changes, we’ll post them here with the updated date at the top. Still confused? You can always contact us for clarity.
