Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy describes how BAPE Hoodies Store (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and shares personal information when you visit or make a purchase from bapehoodiesstore.net, interact with our emails, ads, or customer support, or otherwise engage with our services (collectively, the “Services”).

By using our Services, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Services.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide

• Account and profile: name, email, password, phone, shipping/billing addresses, size preferences.
• Orders and support: order details, returns/exchanges, messages, survey responses, product reviews.
• Marketing choices: email/SMS subscription status and related preferences.

Information we obtain automatically

• Device and usage: IP address, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, referring/exit pages, timestamps, pages viewed, and clickstream data.
• Approximate location: derived from IP address.
• Cookies, pixels, and similar technologies: used for essential site functions, analytics, personalization, and advertising. See the Cookies section below.

Information from third parties

• Payment processors: We receive payment confirmations and limited fraud signals. We do not receive or store full card numbers or CVV.
• Service providers and partners: shipping carriers, customer support tools, analytics and advertising partners.
• Social or single sign-on (if used): name, email, and profile information you authorize.

3. How we use information

• Provide the Services: process and fulfill orders, returns, and customer support.
• Personalize your experience: remember preferences, recommend products, and tailor content.
• Communicate: send transactional emails/SMS (order confirmations, shipping updates) and, with consent, marketing messages you can opt out of anytime.
• Improve and secure: analyze performance, debug issues, prevent fraud and abuse.
• Legal: comply with legal obligations, enforce terms, and protect our rights and users.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to run the site and understand usage. You can manage your preferences anytime using the “Manage Cookie Preferences” button.

Categories we use

• Strictly necessary: required for core features like cart, checkout, and security.
• Performance/analytics: help us measure traffic and improve the site.
• Functional: remember choices such as language and size preferences.
• Advertising: deliver and measure ads, limit repeats, and build audiences.

You can also control cookies in your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may impact site functionality.

5. Advertising and analytics

We may work with analytics providers and advertising networks to understand site usage and show relevant ads on our site and on third-party sites and apps. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your activity across sites over time for analytics and “cross-context behavioral advertising.”

Choices:

• Use the “Manage Cookie Preferences” tool to opt out of non-essential analytics and advertising cookies.
• Adjust ad settings on your device or in major platforms’ privacy controls.
• Unsubscribe links are included in marketing emails; reply STOP to opt out of SMS marketing where applicable.

6. How we share information

• Service providers: hosting, payment processing, fraud prevention, shipping, customer support, analytics, and marketing assistance (bound by contracts to process data on our behalf).
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.
• Legal and safety: to comply with law, lawful requests, or to protect rights, property, or safety.
• With your consent or direction: for example, when you post a public review or share content.

We do not sell personal information for money. Under some privacy laws, sharing data for targeted advertising may be considered a “sale” or “share.” You can opt out of such sharing via the Cookie Preferences tool.

7. Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal obligations (for example, tax and accounting records typically retained 7 years), to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.

8. Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If you believe your account or order has been compromised, contact us immediately.

9. Your privacy rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access and obtain a copy of your personal information.
• Request correction or deletion of your information.
• Object to or restrict certain processing, including targeted advertising.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Receive your data in a portable format.
• Opt out of “sale” or “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising.

To exercise rights, email [email protected] with “Privacy Request” in the subject line, or use our contact page. We will verify your request by asking you to confirm information related to your account or order history. Authorized agents may submit requests on your behalf subject to verification.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. You can also manage cookies and advertising preferences using the tool on this page.

10. International transfers

We are based in the United States and may process information in countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to protect your information.

11. Children’s privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the age required by local law), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that a child has provided personal information, we will delete it.

12. Do Not Track

Some browsers send “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no industry standard for responding to these signals, we currently do not respond to them. You can manage tracking through our Cookie Preferences tool and your browser settings.

13. Third-party links and features

Our site may include links to third-party sites or embedded features. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. The updated version will be indicated by a new “Last updated” date and will be effective as soon as it is accessible.
