Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 30, 2026
At Proudlywear, your privacy and the security of your personal data are our utmost priorities. This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, protected, and shared when you visit, browse, or make a purchase from proudlywear.com (the "Site").
By accessing our Site or utilizing our online store services, you acknowledge and agree to the data management practices outlined in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
To fulfill your patriotic apparel and custom gift orders and optimize your user experience, we collect two primary types of data:
A. Order Information
When you make a purchase or attempt to place an order through the Site, we collect certain essential billing and routing details from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment details (including encrypted credit card tokens), email address, and phone number. We refer to this safely handled data as "Order Information."
B. Device Information
When you browse the Site, we automatically gather structural technical details regarding your local device, including information about your web browser, active IP address, local time zone, and specific tracking cookies that are pre-installed on your device. We refer to this automatically-logged data as "Device Information."
2. Secure Payment Processing & Data Encryption (GMC MANDATORY)
Your commercial transaction data is fully guarded. Proudlywear does not store, harvest, or retain your raw credit card numbers on our local storefront servers.
Because our online store operates via WooCommerce, all payment interactions are seamlessly redirected to, and processed by, certified third-party payment gateways. All data transmissions during checkout are protected utilizing industry-standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology and strictly comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).
3. How We Use Your Personal Information
We process your collected data based on legitimate business operations to:
- Fulfill and build any orders placed through the Site (including processing secure payments, coordinating domestic shipping, and rendering invoices/order confirmations).
- Communicate with you directly regarding your order status.
- Screen our transaction logs for potential financial risk, system vulnerabilities, or identity fraud.
- Provide you with curated marketing insights, seasonal patriotic apparel updates, or promotional advertising relating to our products, strictly in line with the communication preferences you have shared with us.
4. Sharing Your Personal Information
We share your Personal Information with trusted third-party operational service providers to help us facilitate our storefront, as described above:
- E-commerce Infrastructure: We use WooCommerce to power our online storefront and catalog ecosystem.
- Behavioral Analytics: We utilize Google Analytics to analyze aggregate customer movement, traffic sources, and site health metrics.
- Legal & Regulatory Mandates: Finally, we may disclose your personal files to comply with applicable state and federal laws, to respond to a lawful subpoena, search warrant, or official request for information, or to protect our brand's safety and property rights.
5. Cookies & Behavioral Advertising Opt-Out
We utilize functional cookies (small data files deposited on your computer containing a unique, anonymous identifier) to enhance your browsing experience, remember shopping cart additions, and maintain secure user sessions.
For exhaustive educational resources regarding cookies and configuration controls, you may visit All About Cookies.
To opt-out of targeted Google tracking used for behavioral marketing, you can manage your preferences directly via the Google Ads Settings Page.
6. Your Rights Under Global and US Privacy Laws (CCPA/GDPR)
If you are a resident of certain protected territories (including California or the European Union), you possess explicit legal rights to access the specific personal data we hold about you, to request that inaccurate information be corrected, updated, or permanently deleted.
If you would like to actively exercise these legal consumer protection rights, please contact our Compliance Officer through the dedicated channel listed below.
7. Data Retention
When you execute an order through our online storefront, we will preserve your structural Order Information for our continuous business, tax reporting, and accounting records unless and until you formally ask us to scrub this information from our directories.
