Welcome, Mortal Visitor

At Halloween Gear Sales (operating through scarewearsstore.com), we value your privacy almost as much as we value our collection of haunted artifacts. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our crypt… we mean, website.

By entering this domain, you acknowledge that your data may cross dimensions and that some information might be observed by entities beyond our control. Proceed at your own risk.

1. The Data We Collect (And Why We Need It)

We may collect the following types of information when you browse or make purchases from our haunted emporium:

Personal Identification Spells

  • Name: So we know what to call you (or curse)
  • Email address: For order confirmations and the occasional ominous newsletter
  • Shipping address: To ensure your cursed commodities reach their destination
  • Payment information: Processed securely by our bound demon cybersecurity team
  • Phone number: Only used when our spectral couriers get lost

Non-Personal Tracking Spirits

  • Browser type: To better haunt your specific device
  • IP address: For general location tracking (we promise not to send clowns)
  • Pages visited: To understand which products make your soul tremble
  • Time spent: We admire your bravery in lingering so long

2. How We Use Your Data

Your information helps us:

  • Process your orders and send you confirmation runes
  • Improve our website’s ability to terrify… we mean, serve you
  • Respond to your necromantic support inquiries
  • Send promotional messages (only during appropriate lunar phases)
  • Prevent fraudulent activity and unauthorized summonings
  • Comply with mortal laws and regulations

3. Data Sharing & Sacrifices

We may share your information with:

  • Payment processors: To complete your transactions
  • Shipping carriers: To deliver your haunted goods
  • Law enforcement: Only if required by mortal authorities
  • Our bound demons: Strictly for cybersecurity purposes

We do NOT sell your data to third parties, unless they’re particularly persuasive eldritch entities, in which case we’ll notify you first.

4. Data Storage & Protection

Your information is stored in:

  • Encrypted databases protected by 256-bit spells
  • A circle of salt (very effective against digital ghosts)
  • Our three (3) specially trained cybersecurity demons

While we take all reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee protection against:

  • Interdimensional breaches
  • Spontaneous demonic possession of servers
  • Your credit card developing a mind of its own (rare, but possible)

5. Your Rights (As Limited By The Old Ones)

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your data (some traces may remain in the æther)
  • Opt-out of marketing communications
  • Lodge complaints with mortal authorities

To exercise these rights, contact our necromantic support team at [email protected]. Response times may vary based on lunar cycles.

6. Cookies & Tracking Spirits

Our website uses:

  • Essential cookies: To keep your shopping cart from disappearing into the void
  • Analytical cookies: To understand how visitors navigate our haunted halls
  • Marketing cookies: To show you relevant products that might interest your dark soul

You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings, but disabling them may cause certain features to behave… strangely.

7. International Data Transfers

As we serve customers globally (except certain Asian and remote regions), your data may cross borders and dimensions. By using our site, you consent to this transfer, even if it briefly passes through the Netherworld.

8. Policy Updates

We may update this policy as needed, typically during the witching hour. Significant changes will be announced via email or ominous dreams. Continued use of our site after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

9. Contacting the Coven

For privacy-related inquiries, summon our support team at:

Email: [email protected]
Address: 44 Union St, Plymouth, GB PL2N 8QA
Response times: 1-3 business days, longer during solar eclipses

Remember: At Halloween Gear Sales, we don’t just protect your data – we perform rituals of digital security. Shop with confidence (and perhaps a protective amulet).
