This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our website, place an order, or interact with our services. By using our website, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

We collect both personal and non-personal information to provide a seamless shopping experience. Personal information includes your name, email address, phone number, billing and shipping addresses, and payment details when you make a purchase or sign up for our newsletter. Non-personal information such as your IP address, browser type, and browsing behavior on our site helps us analyze trends and improve functionality.

How We Use Your Information

Your information is primarily used to process orders, provide customer support, and improve our services. When you make a purchase, your details are used for payment processing, shipping arrangements, and order confirmations. Customer support relies on this information to handle inquiries, refunds, and returns efficiently. Marketing and promotional updates are sent to customers who opt in, informing them about special offers and new products in categories like pets, cycling, golf, camping, basketball, and gaming. Website performance is continually optimized by analyzing user interactions to create a better browsing experience. Security and fraud prevention measures ensure that transactions remain safe from potential threats.

Payment Security

All transactions are processed through secure third-party payment gateways such as PayPal or Stripe. Check Mate Bay does not store or have direct access to your payment details. These services use encryption and fraud protection to maintain the security of your financial information.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are used to enhance your browsing experience by remembering preferences and login details. They also help analyze website traffic and recommend products that match your interests. Cookies can be managed or disabled through your browser settings, but doing so may affect certain functionalities on the site.

Third-Party Services

Check Mate Bay partners with third-party services for payment processing, analytics, and marketing. These services operate under their own privacy policies and may collect data to enhance security and provide insights. Personal information is never sold or shared beyond what is necessary to fulfill orders and improve customer experience.

Your Rights and Choices

As a customer, you have the right to access, review, and request updates to your personal information. Marketing emails can be opted out of at any time, and requests for data deletion can be made, except where legal record-keeping is required. Any privacy-related concerns can be addressed by contacting our support team.

Data Retention and Protection

Personal information is retained for as long as necessary to fulfill orders, meet legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Strong security measures are in place to protect your data, ensuring that only authorized personnel have access.
