Retro Handicraft (“we”, “our”, “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling your personal information responsibly. This page explains your rights regarding the sale or sharing of your personal information, as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the CPRA, and how you can exercise those rights.

Although we operate from India, we sell products to customers in the United States and follow all applicable U.S. privacy requirements, including Google's Merchant Center policies.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of personal information when you use our website or purchase from us:

  • Identifiers (name, email address, phone number, shipping address)

  • Commercial information (purchase history, cart activity)

  • Internet activity (IP address, browser type, device information, cookies, analytics data)

  • Payment information (processed securely by payment providers; we do not store full card details)

2. How We Use Personal Information

We may use your information for the following purposes:

  • Processing and fulfilling orders

  • Communicating with you about orders or customer service requests

  • Providing and improving our website

  • Marketing, advertising, and analytics

  • Detecting and preventing fraud

  • Complying with legal obligations

3. Do We Sell or Share Personal Information?

We do not sell personal information for money.

However, under the CCPA/CPRA, “selling” or “sharing” includes:

  • Allowing third-party advertising or analytics tools (e.g., cookies, pixels) to collect data

  • Sharing user data for cross-site or targeted advertising

Because we use services such as analytics and ad platforms, this may be considered “sharing” under the law.

4. Your Right to Opt-Out of Selling or Sharing

If you are a California resident, you have the right to request that we do not sell or share your personal information.

You can opt out at any time by contacting us:

📧 Email: piratesretro@gmail.com
📄 Subject: “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information – Request”

You may also opt out by adjusting your browser settings to block cookies or by using privacy tools such as Global Privacy Control (GPC). If your browser sends a GPC signal, we will treat it as a valid opt-out request.

5. How to Submit a Request

When submitting an opt-out request, please include:

  • Your full name

  • Email address used in your order or website interaction

  • Your request (e.g., “Opt-out of sale/sharing”)

We will respond to your request within 45 days, as required by law.

We may ask for limited information to verify your identity to prevent unauthorized opt-out requests.

6. What Happens After You Opt Out

If you request to opt out:

  • We will stop sharing your data with third-party advertising networks

  • We will stop using personal information for targeted advertising

  • We will only use your information for essential business purposes such as fulfilling orders, customer service, fraud prevention, and required analytics

7. Third-Party Services

We may share personal information with trusted service providers such as:

  • Payment processors (e.g., Shopify Payments, PayPal)

  • Shipping and logistics partners

  • Analytics providers

  • Advertising platforms (Google, Meta, etc.)

These partners only use your information as needed to perform their services and are not permitted to sell your data.

8. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to:

  • Maintain your shopping cart

  • Improve website performance

  • Analyze site traffic

  • Deliver personalized ads (if not opted out)

You can manage cookies through your browser settings or by contacting us to opt out of sharing.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under 16, and we do not knowingly sell or share personal information of minors.
