Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 27, 2025

Your Privacy Matters to Us

At Kicks For Whips LLC, we believe your privacy is fundamental. This policy explains how we handle your information when you visit our website. We're committed to transparency and want you to understand exactly what we do—and don't do—with your data.

What We Don't Do (And Never Will)

Let's start with what we don't do, because this is important:

  • We don't sell your data to anyone, ever
  • We don't rent or share your personal information
  • We don't use advertising networks like Google Ads or Facebook Pixel
  • We don't track your behavior across other websites
  • We don't create user profiles or run retargeting campaigns
  • We don't store unnecessary information about your visits

What Information We Collect

Information You Choose to Share

We only collect information when you actively choose to contact us:

  • Contact forms: When you submit a tire inquiry, we receive your name, phone number, email, and the details of your request
  • Direct communication: If you call, text, or email us directly
  • Consent: When you check the consent box on our forms

Automatic Information (Server Logs)

Our hosting provider, Netlify, automatically collects basic technical information for security and performance purposes. This includes:

  • IP address (to prevent spam and attacks)
  • Browser type and version
  • Pages visited and visit time
  • Referring website (if you clicked a link to get here)

Important: We don't control or access these server logs. They're standard web hosting security measures that help protect our site and your experience.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information for one simple purpose: to help you get the tires you need.

  • Respond to your inquiries about tire availability and pricing
  • Check our inventory for the sizes you're looking for
  • Schedule appointments or deliveries
  • Provide customer service and support

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We keep your information private. Here's our policy:

  • No data sales: We never sell, rent, or trade your information
  • No marketing lists: We don't add you to email lists or marketing databases
  • Limited sharing: We only share information if required by law or to protect our rights
  • Form processing: We use Formspree to handle contact forms securely

Third-Party Services We Use

We use a few trusted services to make our website work:

  • Netlify: Hosts our website (standard server logs only)

  • HTTPS encryption: All data transmission is encrypted
  • Secure forms: Contact forms are processed through secure, trusted services
  • Access controls: Only authorized personnel can access customer information

After these periods, your information is securely deleted or anonymized.
