Privacy notice
Your Secrets Are Not Our Hobby. This Privacy Notice explains what Pirates! Store collects, why we collect it, how we use it, and how to contact us about it. We use information to run the store, fulfill orders, answer messages, improve the site, prevent fraud, and keep the place from collapsing into digital nonsense.
Information We Collect
We may collect identifiers and contact details such as name, email address, phone number, billing address, shipping address, account login details, and order number. We collect commercial information such as products viewed, carts, orders, returns or support requests, payment status, and transaction history. We collect internet or device information such as IP address, browser, device type, pages viewed, referring pages, cookies, and similar analytics or security data. We collect messages and files you send through customer service, including photos when you provide them.
Payment card details are handled through the checkout/payment processor configuration. We do not want your card number lounging around our office like it owns the place.
How We Use Information
We use information to process payments, fulfill and ship orders, provide tracking, answer support requests, manage accounts, send order-related notices, prevent fraud and security abuse, troubleshoot site issues, improve products and pages, comply with legal obligations, maintain records, and enforce our policies.
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies help the store remember useful things, like your cart, login, preferences, security state, analytics, and site performance. Sadly, they are not the edible kind. Your browser may let you block or delete cookies, but some store features may stop working if you do.
Sharing Information
We share information only as needed for store operations, including payment processing, shipping carriers, order fulfillment, hosting, analytics, security, email or customer service tools, professional advisers, and legal compliance. We may also share information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a business transfer. Nobody gets customer data because they looked charming in a hat.
We do not sell personal information for money. Some analytics or advertising technologies may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under certain state privacy laws. If that applies to you, contact us using the details below to make an opt-out request.
State Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and whether a law applies to Pirates! Store, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or opt-out of certain uses of personal information. You may also have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights. To make a request, contact us at info@piratesstore.com or use the contact form. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
Retention and Security
We keep information for as long as needed to run the store, complete transactions, meet tax/accounting/legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and maintain records. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system is perfect.
Children
The site is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it when appropriate.
Updates
We may update this notice as the store, tools, or laws change. The posted version is the current version.
