YOUR CONSENT

By visiting or shopping at petezellershop.com (the “Site” or “Shop”), you (“You”, “Your”, “User”) consent to this Privacy Policy (“Policy”), which is part of our Terms of Service. This agreement is between you and PLZ Creations LLC (“Us”, “We”, “Our”). If you do not agree with this Policy, please discontinue use of the Site immediately.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Policy explains how we collect, use, maintain, protect, and disclose personal information from users of our WooCommerce-powered online store.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

We collect information in these ways:

  • Information You Provide: When you create an account, place an order, contact us, or fill out forms, we may collect your name, email address, billing/shipping address, phone number, order details, and payment information (processed securely via Stripe—we do not store full credit card details).
  • Automatically Collected Information: Server logs may record your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, and clickstream data. We do not link this to other personally identifiable information.
  • Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies to manage your cart, remember login details, and analyze site usage. You can control cookies in your browser, but disabling them may limit features like checkout.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to marketing companies. We may share limited data with trusted service providers (e.g., Stripe for payments, our hosting provider, shipping carriers) who are required to keep it confidential and use it only for services provided to us.

COMMENTS

(If Applicable) If visitors leave comments on the site (e.g., on product pages or blog posts), we collect the data shown in the comment form, plus the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent for spam detection. An anonymized hash of your email may be sent to Gravatar to check for a profile picture (see Gravatar’s privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/). Approved comments show your profile picture publicly in context.  You may opt in to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience (lasting one year). Comments may be checked via automated spam services.

COOKIES

  • Login page sets a temporary cookie (no personal data) to check cookie support—discarded on browser close.
  • Login sets cookies for session info and screen preferences (2 days to 2 weeks if “Remember Me” selected).
  • Editing/publishing content saves a post ID cookie (no personal data, expires in 1 day).

WHAT DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION FOR? We use collected information to:

  • Process and fulfill orders (including payment via Stripe, shipping, and generating invoices/packing slips).
  • Personalize your experience (e.g., saved addresses, order history).
  • Improve the Site based on traffic and feedback.
  • Respond to customer service requests.
  • Comply with laws, enforce policies, or protect rights/property/safety.
  • Share anonymized aggregate data with partners or in business transfers (still under this Policy).

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Our Site, products, and services are directed to individuals 13 years or older.

HOW WE RETAIN INFORMATION

  • Comments and metadata are retained indefinitely for spam moderation and follow-ups.
  • Registered user profiles store provided information indefinitely (or until deletion request); you can view/edit/delete most details (except username).
  • Order data is retained as needed for accounting, shipping records, and legal requirements (typically several years).

ONLINE PRIVACY POLICY SCOPE

This Policy applies only to information collected through petezellershop.com and not to offline collection or third-party sites we link to.

CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in practices or law. Updates will be posted here with a revised date. Your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. Check back periodically.

YOUR DATA RIGHTS

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data (e.g., account info, order history). This excludes data we must retain for legal, administrative, or security reasons. For Minnesota residents (under the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act) or others with similar rights, you may also opt out of certain data processing/sharing. Contact us to exercise these rights—we respond within required timeframes.
