Howdy, free spirits! Welcome to Southernfriedchics (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We’re so glad you’re here. At Southernfriedchics, we believe in good vibes, bohemian style, and protecting your privacy as fiercely as we love our flowy dresses and statement booties.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you visit our website southernclothings.com or make a purchase from us. By using our Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy. So grab a sweet tea, get comfortable, and read on.
1. The Information We Collect
To create a joyful and seamless shopping experience for y’all, we collect a few types of information:
- Information You Provide Directly: This includes your name, shipping and billing address, email address, phone number, and payment information (like credit card numbers processed securely by our partners) when you make a purchase, create an account, or sign up for our emails. It’s the info we need to get your perfect boho finds to your doorstep.
- Automatically Collected Information: When you visit our site, we automatically gather certain data about your device and how you interact with us. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages you viewed, and the dates/times of your visits. We do this using cookies and similar tracking technologies—more on that below.
- Information from Third Parties: We might receive information about you from other sources, like our payment processors (e.g., PayPal) who confirm your payment, or shipping carriers who help us deliver your orders.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to bring a piece of our southern boho charm right to you. Specifically, we use it to:
- Process your orders, send you order confirmations, and deliver your products (like those gorgeous Dusters or Hippie Soul pieces).
- Communicate with you about your orders, account, and any customer service inquiries. We’re here to help!
- Send you marketing emails (if you’ve opted in) about new arrivals, deals, and bohemian inspiration. You can unsubscribe anytime.
- Improve our website, products, and your overall shopping experience. We analyze trends to see what y’all are loving.
- Prevent fraud and enhance the security of our Site, keeping your transactions safe and sound.
- Comply with any applicable laws and regulations.
3. Sharing Your Information
We value your trust. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We only share your data in these specific situations:
- Service Providers: We work with trusted partners who help us run our business. This includes payment processors (like Visa, MasterCard, JCB, and PayPal), shipping carriers (to deliver your orders), email marketing platforms, and analytics companies. These partners only have access to the information they need to perform their services for us and are contractually obligated to protect your data.
- Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights of others.
- Business Transfers: If Southernfriedchics is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your information may be transferred as part of that deal, but we will notify you and ensure the transaction is under terms that protect your privacy.
4. Data Storage and Security
Your security is our priority, y’all. We are based in the United States and store your information on secure servers. While we serve free spirits globally (except parts of Asia and a few remote areas), your data may be processed in the US.
We implement a variety of industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information. We use encryption technology (like SSL) to protect your payment information during transmission. We never store your full credit card details on our servers. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee its absolute security—but we promise to do our very best.
5. Your Rights & Choices
You have choices regarding your personal information:
- Access and Update: You can review and update your account information by logging into your account on our website.
- Marketing Emails: You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email we send you.
- Do Not Track: Our site does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals from browsers.
- Data Deletion: You can contact us at any time to request deletion of your personal data, subject to certain legal exceptions we need to follow (like keeping order records for tax purposes).
To exercise any of these rights, just holler at us at [email protected].
6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to make your experience on our site better. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences, understand how you use our site, and show you relevant products.
We use them for:
- Keeping items in your shopping cart.
