At Marlou Shoes Sales Shop (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your data when you visit our website cheapshoesdeals.com (the “Site”). By using our Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Our Site caters to fashion-forward individuals globally (excluding Asia and some remote areas due to logistics) who seek stylish, comfortable footwear, including shoes, boots, sandals, and slippers. We prioritize security and convenience, as reflected in our payment options and overall user experience. This policy aligns with our modern, customer-centric approach and complies with applicable privacy laws, such as the GDPR and CCPA.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide you with a seamless shopping experience and improve our services. The types of data we collect include:

• Personal Information: When you make a purchase or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, shipping address, payment details (e.g., credit card information processed securely via Visa, MasterCard, JCB, or PayPal), and phone number. Note: We do not store your financial details on our servers after transaction completion.
• Automatically Collected Data: We use cookies and similar technologies to gather information about your device, IP address, browser type, browsing behavior on our Site (e.g., pages visited, time spent), and referral sources. This helps us analyze trends and enhance user experience.
• Communication Data: If you contact our customer service team (e.g., via email at [email protected]), we may retain your messages and responses for quality assurance.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data for the following purposes:

• To process your orders, manage payments, and deliver products to your doorstep.
• To communicate with you about your account, orders, promotions, and updates related to our footwear collections (e.g., men’s and women’s shoes, boots, sandals, slippers).
• To improve our Site’s functionality, content, and user experience based on analytics and customer feedback.
• To prevent fraud and ensure security, using encryption and other measures to protect your information.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms of service.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. However, we may share information in the following cases:

• Service Providers: We work with trusted partners (e.g., payment processors like PayPal, shipping carriers) to facilitate operations. These parties access only the data necessary to perform their functions and are bound by confidentiality agreements.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred to the new entity, subject to the same privacy commitments.

We do not share data with advertisers or marketing agencies without your consent, except for aggregated, anonymized statistics that cannot identify you.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure servers located in the United States and other regions where our service providers operate. We implement industry-standard measures to protect your information:

• Encryption technology (e.g., SSL) to safeguard data during transmission.
• Regular security assessments and access controls to prevent unauthorized access.
• Retention of personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined, after which it is securely deleted.

As emphasized in our homepage, we never store your financial details on our servers after transactions, reducing risks. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
