Commitment to Privacy

Gaijin Smash collects only the information needed to fulfill your orders and improve your experience. Your personal data is never sold to anyone.

1. Information Collected

When you place an order, the following is collected:

• Name and email address
• Shipping address
• Payment information (securely processed by Shopify - Gaijin Smash never sees or stores your card details)
• Order history

Basic website usage data (pages visited, device type) is also automatically collected through cookies and analytics.

2. How Your Information Is Used

Your information is used to:

• Process and fulfill your orders
• Send order confirmations and shipping updates
• Respond to customer support requests
• Improve the website and products
• Send occasional marketing emails (you can unsubscribe anytime)

3. Who Your Information Is Shared With

Your information is shared only with trusted partners who help run the business:

• Shopify: Processes payments securely
• Printful: Prints and ships your orders
• AWS: Hosts product images

Your personal data is never sold. These partners have their own privacy policies and handle your data securely.

4. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal information
• Correct inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your data
• Opt out of marketing emails
• Object to data processing

To exercise these rights, please contact us.

5. Data Security

Industry-standard security measures are used to protect your information. Payment processing is handled securely by Shopify, which is PCI-DSS compliant.

However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. Every effort is made to protect your data, but absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

6. Cookies and Local Storage

Browser local storage is used to remember your preferences (dark mode, language selection). Google Analytics is also used, which sets cookies to analyze website traffic and improve your experience. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect analytics functionality.

7. International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed in the United States and other countries where service providers operate. By using the website, you consent to this transfer. Partners (Shopify, Printful) comply with international data protection standards.

8. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The updated version will be posted with a new "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the website means you accept the updated policy.
