Last updated: 09-Oct-2023

At SouthernGoodsCo, we are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with international data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, store, protect, and use your personal data.

Please read this policy carefully to understand your rights regarding your data, including access, correction, deletion, and objection to data processing. By using our website and services, you agree to the terms described in this policy.

1. Data Collection

We collect personal data from you when you voluntarily provide it to us through our website, such as when you fill out a contact form, submit a product review, or make a purchase. This data may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, postal address, and payment information.

We may also collect certain non-personal data automatically when you visit our website, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the pages you view. We use Google Analytics Privacy Policy to collect traffic data, which helps us improve our website and better serve our users. This data is collected anonymously, and it cannot be used to identify you personally.

2. Data Storage and Protection

We take data security seriously and have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Your personal data is stored on secure servers with restricted access and is only retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

3. Data Usage

We may use your personal data for the following purposes:

To communicate with you regarding our products, services, promotions, or changes to our policies.
To process your requests, orders, and payments.
To provide you with customer support.
To analyze how our website is used and improve our services.
To comply with legal obligations.

We will obtain your explicit consent if we ever intend to use your data for purposes other than those mentioned above.

4. Users’ Rights

You have certain rights with respect to your personal data, subject to applicable data protection laws:

Access: You can request access to the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information free of charge unless your request is excessive or unfounded.
Correction: If you believe that any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request us to correct or update it.
Deletion: You can request the deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as if the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
Objection to Processing: You can object to the processing of your data based on legitimate interests or direct marketing purposes.

To exercise any of these rights or for any other related concerns, please Contact Us using the details provided at the end of this policy.

5. Data Security Measures

We implement various security measures to protect your data, including encryption, firewalls, secure connection protocols, and regular system monitoring. Despite these measures, data transmission over the internet or storage systems can be subject to vulnerabilities, and no security measures are 100% foolproof. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

6. Third-Party Data Sharing

We may share your personal data with third-party service providers engaged by us to perform certain functions necessary for the provision of our services (e.g., payment processing). However, we will only share the data necessary for them to provide these services and have implemented appropriate contracts and agreements to ensure the protection of your data and compliance with applicable laws.

We may also disclose your personal data if required by law, to enforce our legal rights, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our company, our customers, or others.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by us. We are not responsible for their privacy practices and encourage you to review their privacy policies.

7. Your Consent and Policy Updates

By using our website and services, you consent to the collection, storage, processing, and disclosure of your personal data as described in this privacy policy.

We reserve the right to update or modify this privacy policy from time to time, without prior notice, to reflect changes in our data processing practices or legal requirements. Any updates or modifications will be effective immediately upon posting on our website. We encourage you to periodically review this policy for the latest information.
