Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [Insert Date]

At StepInStyle Store (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we believe in transparent, secure, and stylish experiences—whether you’re selecting premium footwear or sharing your information with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit instepfashion.com or make purchases from our global boutique.

1. Information We Collect

To provide our seamless shopping experience, we collect:

• Personal Details: Name, email, shipping/billing addresses, and phone number when you create an account or checkout—essential for delivering your Oxfords, loafers, or sneakers worldwide.
• Payment Information: Credit card details (processed securely via PCI-compliant systems), PayPal email, and transaction history—protected with the same care as the stitching in our boat shoes.
• Style Preferences: Browsing behavior, wishlist items, and purchase history to curate recommendations matching your fashion sensibility.
• Technical Data: IP address, device type, and browser information to optimize our site for all devices—whether you’re shopping for sandals on mobile or heels on desktop.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data helps us:

• Process orders and ship globally (excluding certain Asian/remote regions)
• Provide 24/7 fraud monitoring as reliable as our sole construction
• Personalize your experience with size recommendations and style suggestions
• Improve our website functionality and payment processing
• Send service updates (order confirmations) and, with consent, fashion newsletters

3. Data Sharing & International Transfers

We share information only when necessary:

• Shipping Partners: Carrier details to deliver your purchases worldwide
• Payment Processors: Secure transaction data to Visa, Mastercard, JCB, or PayPal
• Legal Compliance: When required by law or to protect our business

As a global retailer, data may transfer internationally with appropriate safeguards.

4. Data Security

We implement security measures as meticulous as our shoe craftsmanship:

• 256-bit SSL encryption for all transactions
• PCI-DSS compliant payment processing
• Regular security audits of our systems
• Never storing full credit card numbers on our servers

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal data
• Opt-out of marketing communications
• Restrict processing of your information
• Receive your data in a portable format

Contact us at [email protected] to exercise these rights.

6. Cookies & Tracking

Like the perfect shoe fit, we use cookies to enhance your experience:

• Essential Cookies: For checkout functionality and cart retention
• Analytical Cookies: To understand browsing patterns (e.g., sandals vs. sneakers traffic)
• Marketing Cookies: For personalized ads (only with consent)

Manage preferences via your browser settings or our cookie banner.

7. Policy Updates

We may update this policy as our collection evolves. Significant changes will be communicated via email or site notifications.

Thank you for trusting StepInStyle Store with your fashion journey and personal information. We treat both with the care and attention to detail that defines our footwear collection.
