This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you visit our website (www.gallerydepts.com) (the “Site”), purchase our products (including jeans, work pants, tees, hoodies, jackets, and outerwear), or interact with our services. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect two types of information about you: Personal Information (information that identifies you individually) and Non-Personal Information (anonymous or aggregated data that does not identify you).

We collect Personal Information when you voluntarily provide it to us, such as:

Contact details: Name, email address (e.g., [email protected] for communications), phone number, and shipping/billing address.
Account information: Username, password (encrypted), and preferences if you create an account on the Site.
Payment information: Credit/debit card details, PayPal or other payment method information (note: we do not store full payment details—this is processed securely by our third-party payment processors, who adhere to industry standards like PCI DSS).
Order details: Purchase history, product selections, and order status.
Communication data: Content of messages you send to us (e.g., via email or contact forms) and records of our interactions.

We automatically collect Non-Personal Information to improve the Site and your experience, including:

Technical data: IP address, browser type, device model, operating system, and pages visited on the Site.
Usage data: Time spent on the Site, links clicked, search queries, and how you navigate our product categories (e.g., jeans, jackets).
Cookies and similar technologies: Small text files stored on your device to track preferences, remember your cart items, and personalize your browsing experience (see Section 4 for more on cookies).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information only for legitimate purposes outlined below, and in compliance with applicable data protection laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA):

Process and fulfill orders: Verify your identity, process payments, ship products to your address, and send order confirmations/tracking updates.
Manage your account: Maintain your account, update you on account activity, and personalize your experience (e.g., saving your shipping address for future purchases).
Communicate with you: Respond to your inquiries, provide customer support (via [email protected]), and send important updates (e.g., changes to our policies, order delays).
Market and personalize offers: Send you promotional emails (e.g., new product launches, sales on jeans or outerwear) or targeted ads, but only if you have opted in to marketing communications. You can unsubscribe at any time (see Section 7).
Improve the Site: Analyze usage data to fix bugs, optimize navigation, and expand product categories based on customer preferences.
Ensure security: Detect and prevent fraud, unauthorized access, or other misuse of the Site.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your Personal Information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your information only in the following cases:

Third-party service providers: We work with trusted partners to operate the Site and fulfill services, such as:
Payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) to handle secure transactions.
Shipping carriers (e.g., UPS, DHL) to deliver your orders.
Email service providers to send order updates or marketing messages (with your consent).
Analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to track Site usage (these tools use Non-Personal Information or anonymized data).

These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and only use it to perform services for Gallerydepts.

Legal requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law (e.g., a court order) or to protect our rights, safety, or property, or the rights of other users.
Business transfers: If we merge, sell assets, or are acquired by another company, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction (we will notify you of any such change).

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., web beacons) to enhance your experience on the Site. You can control cookies through your browser settings:

Necessary cookies: Required for the Site to function (e.g., remembering items in your cart). These cannot be disabled.
Functional cookies: Help personalize your experience (e.g., saving your shipping address). You can disable these, but some Site features may not work properly.
Analytics/marketing cookies: Track usage data or deliver targeted ads. You can disable these in your browser or via third-party tools (e.g., Google’s Ads Settings).

By using the Site without disabling cookies, you consent to our use of cookies as outlined in this Policy.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, including:

Encryption of data (e.g., SSL/TLS for data transmitted between your device and the Site).
Secure storage of information (access limited to authorized staff only).
Regular updates to security software and protocols.

While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, no online platform is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you provide information at your own risk.

You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link in the footer of our emails or by emailing us at [email protected].

8. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children.
