This privacy policy describes how SolePicks ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at solepicks.com.
By using SolePicks, you agree to the practices described below.
Information We Collect
SolePicks does not require user accounts and does not collect personally identifiable information directly. We do not run forms that ask for your name, email, or other personal data.
We may automatically collect non-personal technical information through standard server logs and analytics tools, including:
- Anonymized IP address and approximate geographic location (country level)
- Browser type and version
- Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
- Pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs
- Date and time of visits
This information is used in aggregate form to improve site content and user experience. It is not used to identify individual visitors.
Cookies
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies for the following purposes:
- Essential cookies: Required for the site to function properly
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the site (anonymized)
- Affiliate tracking cookies: When you click affiliate links, third-party retailers may set cookies to attribute purchases to SolePicks
You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.
Third-Party Services
SolePicks uses the following third-party services that may collect information:
- Vercel: Our hosting provider, which collects standard server logs
- Supabase: Our database provider, which stores shoe data (no user data)
- Affiliate retailers: When you click outbound links, you'll be subject to the privacy policies of those retailers
- Google Fonts: Web fonts are loaded from Google's CDN, subject to Google's privacy practices
Affiliate Links
SolePicks contains affiliate links to third-party retailers. When you click these links, the retailer may set tracking cookies and collect information about your visit and any subsequent purchases. This is independent of SolePicks. See our affiliate disclosure for more information.
Data Retention
Server logs and analytics data are retained for up to 24 months. We do not retain personal information about visitors because we do not collect it.
Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., GDPR for EU/EEA residents, CCPA for California residents), you may have the right to:
- Access information we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your data
- Object to processing or request data portability
- Withdraw consent for cookies and tracking
Since we do not collect personal data, we typically have no information to provide, modify, or delete. If you believe we may have data about you, please contact us.
Children's Privacy
SolePicks is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
