Privacy Policy

Welcome to Simply Fancy Dress Shop! We’re thrilled to help you find the perfect costume for any occasion, whether it’s a 1920s flapper dress, a 1980s rockstar outfit, or an Alice in Wonderland ensemble. Your privacy is as important to us as the magic you create with our costumes. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you visit our website at cheapcostumesales.com. By using our site, you agree to the practices described here. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].

1. Information We Collect

To provide you with a seamless and secure shopping experience, we collect the following types of information:

• Personal Information: When you make a purchase or create an account, we collect details like your name, email address, shipping address (e.g., 11 Adams Street, Arlington, US 02474), and payment information (e.g., credit/debit card details processed securely via PayPal or our payment gateway). We do not store sensitive payment data on our servers.
• Browsing Information: We use cookies and similar technologies to track your interactions on our site, such as pages viewed (e.g., our 1920s or 1990s collections), items added to your cart, and referral sources. This helps us personalize your experience.
• Communication Data: If you contact our support team or subscribe to our newsletter, we may collect your email address and any messages you send.
• Demographic Information: We may gather general data like your country (since we serve customers globally, excluding some Asian and remote areas) to tailor our product offerings, such as kids’ costumes or adult accessories.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to make your costume shopping experience as enchanting as possible:

• Order Processing: To fulfill your purchases, process payments securely, and deliver costumes to your doorstep. For example, if you buy a 1970s disco outfit, we’ll use your address for shipping.
• Customer Support: To respond to your inquiries, such as questions about payment options or costume sizes.
• Personalization: To recommend costumes based on your browsing history, like suggesting Alice in Wonderland items if you’ve shown interest.
• Marketing: With your consent, we may send updates on new collections (e.g., 2000s trends) or promotions. You can opt out anytime.
• Security: To protect against fraud and ensure our site remains a safe space for all costume lovers.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We value your trust and only share your data in limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We work with trusted partners like PayPal and shipping carriers to process payments and deliver orders. They only access data needed for their services and must protect it.
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, such as to comply with US regulations or protect our rights.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or sale, your data may be transferred to a new owner, but we’ll notify you and ensure privacy standards are upheld.
• We never sell your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your security is our top priority, just like it is when you’re planning a fun costume party! We store your data on secure servers and use industry-standard measures:

• Encryption: All payments are encrypted with SSL technology, so your financial details are safe during transactions.
• Data Retention: We keep your information only as long as needed for business purposes or as required by law. For instance, order details are stored for accounting records.
• Global Operations: As we serve customers worldwide (excluding certain areas), data may be processed in the US or other regions with adequate privacy laws.

5. Your Rights

You have control over your personal information, reflecting our commitment to a user-friendly experience:

• Access and Correction: You can view and update your account details at any time.
• Deletion: Request to delete your data, unless we need to retain it for legal reasons.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing journey, making it easier to hop between eras like the 1920s and 1990s:

• Types of Cookies: Session cookies for login functionality, persistent cookies for remembering your preferences, and analytics cookies to improve our site.
• Third-Party Tracking: Tools like Google Analytics help us understand how customers use our site, but data is anonymized where possible.
