Privacy policy

At Preach, privacy and trust are of utmost importance to us. This policy explains in detail our collection, usage, sharing, retention and protection of any personal data you provide. Please review it carefully to understand how we handle information. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out by email, phone or mail using the contact information provided.

 

Information We Collect  

We collect certain personal data (anything identifying you specifically) and non-personal data (general site analytics) to deliver our services, fulfill orders, support customers, and analyze/improve offerings.

Personal data gathered when you place orders includes name, billing/shipping addresses, phone number and email address. Payment information like credit card numbers are also collected to process transactions securely with our payment partner.

Separately, we gather device data (IP addresses, browser type, operating system, etc.) and site activity with cookies and similar technologies to optimize functionality and user experience.

Processing Basis and Consent

Data collection and usage adheres to relevant data protection regulations for our customers worldwide.

 

How We Share Collected Information

We only share your personal data with third parties as necessary for them to provide services essential for our store's operation, like order processing and fulfillment. This may include transfers to partners like Shopify or our Payment Partner located in jurisdictions with legislation less stringent than your own for hosting and payment functionalities. Pursuant to GDPR requirements, Standard Contractual Clauses are employed with these processors to uphold privacy principles for international data sharing.

In rare cases, we may share select data to comply with lawful requests, court orders or other legal obligations, or to prevent harm. Sharing would only occur after careful review to avoid oversharing.

 

Behavioral Advertising Participation  

To support our store through targeted product recommendations and promotions, we participate in remarketing/advertising tracking programs like the Shopify Audiences platform. These serve customized ads to Site visitors when they browse other Shopify stores, using order email addresses and information on page views/purchases. Shoppers can easily opt-out by adjusting platform settings on sites like Facebook and Google or visiting

Data Retention and Protection  

We retain personal data only as long as required for order record-keeping, tax purposes or other necessary use, which is typically 30 days post-purchase. Information may persist in backup archives beyond this period until data deletion/anonymization occurs. We aim to protect retained data with appropriate cybersecurity controls like encryption, access controls and endpoint protection.  

Use of Automated Decision Systems

We do not employ any complex automated decision algorithms that could significantly impact individuals. Our payment processor does use automated screening strictly to prevent fraudulent transactions which poses little individual rights risk. No other high-risk processing without human oversight occurs.
