This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website shoefancyshop.com.

1. Information We Collect

To serve our sophisticated customers seeking stylish footwear from boots to oxfords, we collect:

• Personal Information: Name, email address, shipping/billing address, payment details (processed securely through our payment partners), and phone number when you make a purchase or create an account.

• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and website usage patterns to optimize our site for international shoppers.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data helps us maintain the elegant and secure shopping experience our customers expect:

• Process transactions for your favorite shoes using our secure payment options (Visa, MasterCard, JCB, PayPal)
• Provide personalized style recommendations based on your browsing history (e.g., suggesting matching flats for your new dress)
• Improve our website functionality for global accessibility (excluding some Asian countries and remote areas)
• Send order confirmations and shipping updates for your coveted footwear purchases
• Prevent fraud and enhance security with military-grade encryption
• Respond to customer service inquiries about payment methods or product availability

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We respect your privacy as much as we respect fine footwear craftsmanship:

• Legal Compliance: When required by law or to protect our rights, such as preventing fraudulent transactions on premium shoe purchases.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, customer information may be transferred but remains protected under this policy.

We never sell your personal information to third-party marketers.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your information is as carefully protected as our finest leather goods:

• All transactions are encrypted using SSL technology
• We never store full payment details on our servers
• Data is stored on secure servers with limited access
• Regular security audits ensure continuous protection

While we implement robust measures, no system is 100% secure. We recommend using strong passwords and monitoring your account activity.

• Marketing Cookies: Allow us to show relevant ads for our latest styles (you may opt-out)

8. Children’s Privacy

Our stylish footwear is intended for adult shoppers. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16. If we become aware of such collection, we will take steps to delete the information.
