Sinful Shores (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at sinfulshores.com or make a purchase. By using our site, you consent to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly and information gathered automatically:

• Contact information — name, email address, phone number (when you place an order or submit a contact form)
• Shipping address — street address, city, province/state, postal/zip code, country
• Payment information — processed securely by Stripe or Interac e-Transfer; we never store your full card number
• Newsletter subscription — email address (when you sign up for our newsletter)
• Communications — messages you send via our contact form
• Device and usage data — IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referring URL (collected via cookies and analytics)

How We Use Your Information

• Process and fulfill your orders, including shipping and delivery
• Send order confirmations, shipping updates, and receipts
• Send e-Transfer instruction and payment-status emails for manual Interac e-Transfer orders

Marketing Emails & Unsubscribe

If you sign up for our newsletter, we will send you occasional emails about new products, restocks, and exclusive offers. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. You can also unsubscribe at any time by visiting sinfulshores.com/unsubscribe. After unsubscribing, you will no longer receive marketing emails from us, though you may still receive transactional emails related to orders you have placed.

Payment Processing

We offer multiple payment methods: credit/debit card and PayPal (processed through Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processor) and Interac e-Transfer (processed through your Canadian banking institution). We do not store, process, or have access to your full payment card details. All card transactions are encrypted and handled entirely by Stripe.

Age Verification

Our products are intended for adults aged 18 and over. When you first visit our website, you are asked to confirm that you are at least 18 years old. Your response is stored in your browser's local storage so you are not asked again on future visits. We do not collect, transmit, or store your age verification response on our servers.

Cookies & Local Storage

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and remember your preferences. We use browser local storage to remember your age verification and cookie consent choices. We may also use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our site. You can disable cookies and clear local storage in your browser settings, though some features may not function properly.

Third-Party Services

We share your information only with the following service providers, solely to operate our business:

• Stripe — payment processing (card and PayPal)
• Interac / your bank — e-Transfer payments
• Cloudflare — image hosting and content delivery
• Vercel — website hosting

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes.

Data Retention

We retain order records and transaction data for as long as necessary to fulfill our legal and business obligations (typically 7 years for tax purposes). Contact form messages are retained until the inquiry is resolved and then archived. You may request deletion at any time.

Your Rights (PIPEDA & CCPA)

Under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy laws, you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Withdraw consent for data processing

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information).

Children's Privacy

Our website and products are intended exclusively for adults aged 18 and over. We require age verification upon first visit to the site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
