Privacy Policy

Howdy Partner! At The Cowboy Shirt Sales Store (“we”, “us”, or “our”), we value your privacy as much as we value the quality stitching in our western wear. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit thecowboyshirt.com (the “Site”). By using our Site, you’re agreeing to the terms outlined here, so please read carefully.

1. Information We Collect

When you shop with us or navigate our Site, we may collect the following information:

• Personal Identification Information: Name, email address, shipping/billing address, phone number, and payment details (though we never store full payment information).
• Account Information: If you create an account, we’ll store your login credentials and saved preferences.
• Order Information: Details about the products you purchase and your order history.
• Technical Information: IP address, browser type, device information, and how you interact with our Site.
• Communications: Any messages you send through our contact forms or customer service.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information responsibly, just like a cowboy tends to his gear:

• To process and fulfill your orders for our authentic western wear
• To communicate with you about your orders, account, or inquiries
• To improve our products, services, and your shopping experience
• To prevent fraud and enhance the security of our Site
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies
• With your consent, to send you marketing communications about new products or promotions

3. Sharing Your Information

We don’t sell your personal information to third parties. We may share it only in these situations:

• Service Providers: Trusted partners who help us operate our business (payment processors, shipping carriers, IT services) – they’re as reliable as a well-trained quarter horse.
• Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights, like responding to a court order.
• Business Transfers: If we’re involved in a merger or acquisition, your information may be transferred as part of that deal.

4. International Data Transfers

While we’re based in Anchorage, Alaska, we serve customers worldwide (except some Asian and remote areas). Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, but we’ll ensure it’s protected with the same care we give our premium shirts.

5. Data Security

We protect your information tighter than a new pair of boots:

• Encryption technology for sensitive data
• Secure servers with restricted access
• Regular security assessments
• We never store your full payment details after processing

While we take these precautions, no system is 100% secure – just like no cowboy is completely safe from a feisty bronco.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Site uses cookies – small data files that help us remember your preferences and improve your experience. These include:

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for the Site to function (like keeping items in your cart)
• Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our Site
• Marketing Cookies: Used to show you relevant ads (you can opt out)

You can manage cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them might make parts of our Site harder to use than breaking in a new saddle.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your data (with some exceptions)
• Opt out of marketing communications
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We’ll respond faster than a rattlesnake strike – usually within 30 days.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our Site isn’t intended for children under 16. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from young’uns without parental consent.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally – when we do, we’ll post the new version here with an updated date. Your continued use of the Site means you accept the changes.
