Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [Insert Date]

Welcome to Freedom Wave Shop (“we”, “us”, or “our”) at ussurfcornerstore.com. We’re stoked you’re here to check out our surf gear, but we also want you to know how seriously we take your privacy. This policy explains how we handle your personal information – with the same care we’d want for our own.

1. Who We Are & Who We Serve

Freedom Wave Shop caters to surf enthusiasts worldwide (excluding some Asian and remote regions). Our customers range from casual beachgoers to serious surfers looking for quality boards, wetsuits, accessories, and beachwear. We keep our vibe as fresh as morning surf with straightforward service and secure transactions.

2. Information We Collect

When you ride our digital wave, we may collect:

• Order Info: Your name, shipping address, email, and payment details (processed securely but not stored)
• Account Details: If you create an account, we’ll store your login info and preferences
• Surf Behavior: Pages you visit, products you view (like whether you’re into shortboards or longboards)
• Device Info: Browser type, IP address (standard web stuff)
• Communications: Emails you send our surf-savvy crew

3. How We Use Your Info

We only use your data to make your experience better:

• Process orders faster than a barrel wave
• Respond to your questions (typically within 3 Crofton hours!)
• Improve our website and product selection
• Send order updates (no spam – just stoke about your gear)
• Prevent fraud (we watch for shady business like a lifeguard watches for riptides)

4. Sharing Your Data

We don’t sell your info to third parties. We only share when necessary:

• Shipping Partners: To get your gear to you
• Payment Processors: Like PayPal or credit card companies
• Legal Requirements: If required by law (but we’ll fight for your privacy like a surfer protects their local break)

5. Data Security

We protect your info with:

• SSL encryption (tighter than the grip on our premium surf pads)
• Secure servers guarded better than a secret surf spot
• Regular security checks (like waxing your board before a big session)

We never store full payment details on our servers after processing.

6. Your Rights

You can:

• Access or update your personal info in your account
• Request deletion of your data (unless we need to keep it for legal reasons)
• Opt-out of marketing emails (but we think you’ll want to hear about our new arrivals)
• Disable cookies (though some site features might not work as smoothly)

7. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies – not the edible kind, but small digital trackers that help:

• Remember your cart items (so you don’t wipeout mid-checkout)
• Understand how surfers use our site (to make it better)
• Show relevant products (like suggesting a new wetsuit when winter comes)

You can manage cookies in your browser settings.

8. International Data

Since we ship globally (with some exceptions), your data may be transferred outside your home country. We ensure it’s protected no matter where it goes.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this policy as our business evolves – we’ll post changes here with a new “Last Updated” date. Significant changes will get an email notification (unless you’ve opted out).

Now that the formalities are done, get back to what matters – finding your perfect gear and catching the next big wave!
