Short version: We take your privacy seriously and your trust personally. We collect as little as possible, keep it secure, and never sell your info. Ever.
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how Same Old Detroit (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit or make a purchase from sameolddetroit.com (the “Site”). By using this site, you agree to the practices outlined here.
2. What We Collect
When you shop with us, subscribe to our emails, or interact with our site, we may collect:
- Personal info: name, billing/shipping address, email, phone number, and payment details.
- Order info: items you buy, when you buy them, and how you pay.
- Device info: IP address, browser type, location, and cookies that help our site load faster and remember your cart.
We use Shopify’s secure checkout platform, which handles your payment information directly. We never see or store your full credit card details.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your info to:
- Process and ship your orders.
- Send you order confirmations, updates, and support messages.
- Provide customer service and handle returns.
- Send marketing emails or texts if you’ve opted in (you can unsubscribe anytime).
- Improve our store, products, and website experience.
4. How We Share Information
We only share your info when necessary to run the store — never to sell it.
That means we may share limited info with:
- Shopify (for store hosting, checkout, and security)
- Payment processors like Shopify Payments or PayPal (to complete transactions)
- Shipping carriers (so your order gets to you)
- Email/SMS providers (for order updates and brand news)
Each of these partners has their own privacy and security policies that meet or exceed industry standards.
5. Cookies
Cookies are small files that help our website remember who you are — like keeping your cart saved while you browse. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features (like the cart or checkout) might stop working right.
6. Analytics & Ads
We may use analytics tools (like Shopify Analytics or Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site. This helps us see what’s working and what’s not. Some of these services use cookies or pixels to collect anonymized data. You can opt out of Google Analytics anytime at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
7. SMS & Email Marketing
If you opt in to receive texts or emails, we’ll occasionally send you updates, product drops, and special offers. You can unsubscribe at any time — reply STOP to texts or click “unsubscribe” in emails. We keep these messages respectful (and rare).
8. Data Retention
We keep your order information only as long as needed to fulfill your order and comply with our legal or tax obligations. If you’d like your personal data deleted, email us at hello@sameolddetroit.com and we’ll handle it promptly.
9. Your Rights
Depending on where you live (like the EU, UK, or California), you may have the right to:
- Access the personal info we hold about you.
- Request corrections or deletion of your info.
- Opt out of marketing communications.
- Request a copy of your data.
To make a request, email hello@sameolddetroit.com. We’ll verify your identity and take care of it.
10. Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to keep your info safe. Our website uses Shopify’s SSL encryption and secure payment gateways to protect your personal data during transmission.
11. Age of Consent
By using this site, you confirm you’re at least 16 years old or have consent from a parent or guardian.
12. International Visitors
If you’re shopping from outside the U.S., know that your data may be transferred to servers in other countries (like the U.S. or Canada) where privacy laws may differ. Shopify ensures appropriate protections for all such transfers.
13. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will appear here with a new “Last updated” date.
