Shipping Carriers
We share your name, phone number, and shipping address with our delivery partners (FedEx and DHL) solely for the purpose of delivering your order to you.

We use Stripe and PayPal to process payments securely. When you make a purchase, your payment information is transmitted directly to these payment processors. We do not store credit card numbers or payment details on our servers. All payment transactions are handled securely by our payment partners in compliance with industry standards.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics may collect and process data according to their own privacy policies.
We may also disclose your information if required by law, court order, or government regulation, or to protect our rights and safety.
Data Security
Protecting your personal information is a top priority. We implement industry-standard security measures to safeguard your data, including:
- SSL Encryption: Our website uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption provided by Comodo SSL to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers
- Secure Servers: Customer information is stored on secure servers with restricted access
- PCI Compliance: Our payment processors (Stripe and PayPal) are PCI-DSS compliant, ensuring your payment information is handled securely
While we take reasonable precautions to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to protecting your information to the best of our ability.
Data Retention
We keep your personal information for different periods depending on why we collected it and what legal requirements apply to our business.
Order and Transaction Records
When you place an order with us, we retain your order information, shipping details, and payment records for seven years from the date of purchase. This retention period is necessary to comply with tax laws, accounting requirements, and potential warranty or dispute situations that may arise years after a purchase.
Account and Contact Information
If you contact us through email or our contact form, we keep that correspondence for three years from the date of your last message. This allows us to reference past conversations if you reach out again with follow-up questions or concerns about previous orders.
For customers who have placed orders, we retain your name, email address, and shipping address for three years following your most recent purchase. This helps us assist you if you need to reference past orders or have questions about products you bought from us.
Marketing and Newsletter Data
If you sign up to receive marketing emails from us, we keep your email address and subscription preferences until you unsubscribe or until three years pass without any interaction with our emails (no opens or clicks). After unsubscribing, we maintain a suppression list with your email address indefinitely to ensure we do not accidentally email you again.
Website Usage Data
Information collected through Google Analytics, including your IP address, browser type, and pages visited, is retained according to Google's data retention policies. We have configured Google Analytics to retain this data for 26 months, after which it is automatically deleted.
Legal Holds and Exceptions
We may retain your information beyond the periods stated above if required by law, court order, or government regulation. We may also keep data longer if needed to resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, or protect our legal rights.
When retention periods expire, we either delete your personal information from our systems or anonymize it so that it can no longer identify you personally.
Your Right to Request Earlier Deletion
Even if a retention period has not expired, you have the right to request deletion of your personal information. To submit a deletion request, contact us at support@leatherapron.us. Please note that we may need to retain certain information if legally required for tax purposes, to complete transactions you requested, or to comply with other legal obligations. We will explain any limitations on deletion when we respond to your request.
