Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [Insert Date]

Welcome to Medium Plushies Store (“we,” “us,” or “our”)! At saleplushies.com, we’re committed to protecting your privacy with the same care we put into crafting our cuddly plushie companions. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website or make purchases.

1. Information We Collect

To create your perfect plushie shopping experience, we may collect:

• Personal Information: Name, email address, shipping/billing address, phone number, and payment details when you place an order
• Account Information: Username, password (encrypted), and purchase history if you create an account
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and cookies (see Section 6)
• Communication Data: Messages sent through our contact forms or customer service emails
• Preference Data: Your plushie preferences, wishlist items, and survey responses (optional)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Process and fulfill your orders for medium plushies, plushie sets, and accessories
• Provide secure payment processing through our trusted partners
• Offer customer support and respond to your inquiries
• Improve our website and personalize your shopping experience
• Send order confirmations, shipping notifications, and (if you opt-in) promotional emails
• Prevent fraud and enhance the security of our services
• Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your information with:

• Payment Processors: Visa, MasterCard, JCB, and PayPal to complete transactions
• Shipping Providers: To deliver your plushies worldwide (excluding some Asian and remote regions)
• Service Providers: Companies that help with website hosting, analytics, and marketing (under strict confidentiality agreements)
• Legal Authorities: When required by law or to protect our rights and safety

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

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is protected with the same care we’d give to a limited-edition plushie:

• All transactions use 256-bit SSL encryption
• We’re PCI-DSS compliant for credit card processing
• Payment gateways never store full card details
• Regular security audits and system updates
• Data is stored on secure servers with limited access

While we implement strong safeguards, no online system is 100% secure. We encourage you to use unique passwords and monitor your accounts.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal information
• Opt-out of marketing communications
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format
• Restrict or object to certain data processing
• Withdraw consent (where applicable)

To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We’ll respond faster than our EMS shipping!

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies – not the edible kind, but small data files that help:

• Remember your cart items and preferences
• Analyze website traffic and improve performance
• Show relevant plushie recommendations
• Measure ad effectiveness (if applicable)

You can manage cookies through your browser settings, but some features may not work properly without them.

7. International Data Transfers

As we ship globally (with some exceptions), your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own. We ensure all transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.

8. Children’s Privacy

While our plushies bring joy to all ages, our website is not directed at children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children without parental consent.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this policy occasionally – the current version will always be posted here with the “Last Updated” date. Continued use of our site constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
