Who we are
This website is the Hydro-Pocket online store. For any privacy question or request, email hydropocket@yahoo.com.
Information we collect
When you place an order, the checkout asks for your name, email address, billing and shipping addresses and any other details shown on the checkout form. We use them to process, ship and support your order, and we keep a record of what you bought. You check out as a guest. This site does not create customer accounts.
When you visit, your browser sends your IP address and basic details about your browser and device to the servers that deliver the site. This happens on every website and is needed to show you the pages.
Payments
PayPal processes payments on this site, including card payments. The card or bank details you enter go to PayPal. PayPal’s payment script loads on product pages before you choose to pay, because the store needs it to offer checkout. That script includes PayPal’s fraud-prevention and statistics parts, and PayPal sets its own cookies for security and fraud prevention.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages and products people view. Google Analytics receives your IP address, browser details and the pages you view, and it sets cookies in your browser.
The store software, WooCommerce, records how you arrived, for example from a search engine or another website, and saves that source with your order. It keeps this in cookies whose names start with sbjs_.
We do not use advertising tags on this site.
Cookies and privacy choices
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. This site uses these cookies.
Necessary cookies keep the cart and checkout working.
PayPal cookies, such as l7_az and sc_f, support secure payments and fraud prevention. Some last several years.
Google Analytics cookies are named _ga and _ga_ followed by an ID. They last up to about 13 months.
WooCommerce visit-source cookies start with sbjs_. Most are removed when you close your browser.
When you first visit, a banner asks for your choice about analytics. You can change it at any time with the “Privacy choices” link at the bottom of the page. Your choice does not turn off PayPal, because the store cannot take payments without it.
Sharing
We share information only with the services that run this store.
Hostinger hosts the website. PayPal processes payments. Google provides analytics. WordPress.org serves some small images used by the site. AgentMail delivers the emails the website sends, such as order emails.
Retention
We keep order records as long as we need them to fulfil and support orders and to keep business and tax records. Cookie lifetimes are listed above.
Your choices
You can say no to analytics through the banner or the “Privacy choices” link. You can block or delete cookies, including analytics cookies, in your browser settings.
To ask what personal information we hold about you, or to have it corrected or deleted, email hydropocket@yahoo.com.
Children
This site is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you think a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
