Sous Vide Sinker operates this website at https://sousvidesinker.co. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we use it, when we share it, and the choices available to you. Questions or privacy requests can be sent to contact@sousvidesinker.co.
Information we collect
When you browse the store, we may collect technical and usage information such as your IP address, browser and device type, referring page, pages and products viewed, approximate location, and cookie or consent choices. Necessary cookies support functions such as the shopping cart, checkout, security, and account sign-in.
When you place an order or contact us, we collect the information you provide, which may include your name, billing and shipping addresses, email address, phone number, order details, messages, and optional account information. If you submit a product review or comment, we collect the information included with that submission.
How we use information
- To operate the website, cart, checkout, and customer accounts.
- To process and fulfill orders, send order communications, handle returns or refunds, and provide customer support.
- To calculate shipping and taxes, prevent fraud, protect the site, and meet legal or accounting obligations.
- To understand site performance and measure advertising when you have given the required consent.
- To send marketing communications only when you have chosen to receive them.
Payments
Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store complete payment-card numbers on this website. Stripe receives information needed to process or support the transaction, such as the purchase amount, billing details, and payment information. Stripe handles that data under its own privacy policy.
Who receives information
We share information only as needed with service providers that help us operate the store, including Stripe, website hosting and security providers, shipping or fulfillment providers, email providers, and professional advisers when required. These providers receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform their services or meet legal obligations.
Where enabled and permitted by your consent choices, Google services used for analytics, advertising measurement, and product listings may receive device, usage, and commerce-event information. You can reject non-essential cookies or change your choices through the site’s privacy controls.
Cookies and consent choices
Necessary cookies are used to make the website and store function. Analytics and advertising cookies are used only according to the consent choices presented to you. You can accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies through the consent banner and can change your choice later using the privacy control shown on the site. Your browser may also let you delete or block cookies, although blocking necessary cookies can prevent the cart or checkout from working correctly.
How long we retain information
WooCommerce retention periods on this store are currently not set to automatically delete order or account data. We retain order and customer information for as long as reasonably needed to fulfill orders, provide support, maintain business and accounting records, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations. We may retain anonymized information that no longer identifies you.
Your choices and rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information associated with you by emailing contact@sousvidesinker.co. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. We may keep information that we are required to retain for administrative, legal, security, fraud-prevention, or accounting purposes.
Embedded content and external links
Pages may include embedded content or links from other websites. Those services may collect data, use cookies, or track interaction according to their own policies. Your consent choice controls non-essential embedded services where supported by the site.
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information. No online service or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our services, providers, or legal obligations change. The current version and effective date will be posted on this page.
