At www.forkjoys.shop, we prioritize your privacy as much as you value your shopping experience. Trust is the foundation of our relationship with customers, and we are committed to transparency in how we handle your personal information. This policy outlines our practices to ensure you feel secure while browsing, purchasing, or interacting with our platform.

We collect two types of data: automated and voluntary. Automated data includes your IP address, device type, browser version, and cookies—all of which help optimize site performance. When you make a purchase or create an account, you may provide details like your name, email, shipping address, and payment information. Rest assured, sensitive data like credit card numbers are encrypted and processed securely.

Your information enables us to process orders efficiently, respond to customer service inquiries, and personalize recommendations. For instance, browsing history helps suggest items like ruffled blouses or strappy sandals tailored to your taste. We also analyze aggregated data to improve our product range, marketing strategies, and overall user experience—always with your interests in mind.

Cookies play a vital role in enhancing functionality. Session cookies keep your cart intact during checkout, while persistent cookies remember preferences like language settings. Third-party tools (e.g., Google Analytics) help us understand trends—such as popularity of straw beach bags or pleated dresses—without identifying individuals. You can manage cookie preferences via your browser settings, though disabling them may limit features.

We employ industry-standard protocols including SSL encryption, firewalls, and regular security audits. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel only, and all third-party vendors undergo rigorous compliance checks. While no system is 100% immune to breaches, we proactively monitor for vulnerabilities and update defenses to mitigate risks.

To fulfill orders, we share necessary details with trusted partners like shipping carriers (e.g., FedEx) and payment processors (e.g., Stripe). Advertising platforms may receive anonymized data to display relevant promotions—think linen rompers or bamboo clutches—based on aggregated behavior. These entities are contractually bound to use data solely for the services we specify.

You retain control over your data. Request access, corrections, or deletion of your information anytime by emailing [email protected]. We respond to such requests within 30 days. For unresolved concerns, you may escalate to your local data protection authority.
