Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Sand Adiks (“Sand Adiks,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit sandadiks.com and related pages we operate (the “Site”). It also describes choices you may have regarding your information.

By using the Site, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. For terms governing use of the Site, see our Terms of Service.

2. Who this policy covers

This policy applies to information we collect through the Site. It does not apply to third-party websites, apps, or platforms we link to — including Facebook, Instagram, or other social networks — which have their own privacy policies. When you leave our Site for those services, their rules control.

3. Information we collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

• Information you provide. If you contact us, sign up for updates, place an order (when a shop is available), or submit a form, we may collect your name, email address, shipping and billing details, message content, and any other information you choose to send.
• Purchase and transaction information. If you buy merchandise, we or our payment and fulfillment partners may process order details, payment confirmation, shipping address, and related records. We do not store full payment card numbers on our own servers when payments are handled by a third-party processor.
• Automatically collected technical data. Like most websites, we may receive standard log and device information such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP, and timestamps.
• Cookies and similar technologies. We may use cookies, local storage, or similar tools for essential site functions, preferences, security, and (if enabled) analytics or performance measurement. See Section 6 for more detail.

4. How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
• Respond to inquiries and communicate with you
• Process orders, payments, shipping, and returns when a shop is available
• Send transactional messages (for example, order confirmations)
• Send marketing or community updates if you have opted in or where permitted by law (you can opt out of marketing emails)
• Monitor usage, diagnose issues, and protect the security and integrity of the Site
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms
• Understand how the Site is used so we can improve content and experience

5. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information in these situations:

• Service providers. Hosting, analytics, email, payment, shipping, customer support, and similar vendors who process data on our behalf under appropriate agreements.
• Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to customary confidentiality protections.
• Legal and safety. When we believe disclosure is required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Sand Adiks, our users, or others.
• With your direction. When you ask us to share information or interact with a feature that does so (for example, clicking through to a community platform).

Community spaces on third-party platforms (such as Facebook groups) are operated by those platforms. Content you post there is subject to that platform’s privacy settings and policies — not this Policy alone.

6. Cookies and analytics

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We may use:

• Essential cookies needed for the Site to function (for example, security or load balancing)
• Preference cookies that remember choices you make
• Analytics cookies (if we enable them) that help us understand traffic and usage patterns in aggregate

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect Site functionality. If we use third-party analytics tools in the future, those providers may set their own cookies subject to their privacy policies.

7. Payments and shopping

When merchandise or other paid products become available, checkout may be handled by third-party e-commerce or payment providers. Those providers collect and process payment and fulfillment data under their own privacy policies. We receive only the information needed to fulfill orders and provide support (such as your name, contact details, order contents, and shipping address).

8. Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy — for example, to complete transactions, resolve disputes, maintain security logs, satisfy legal or accounting requirements, or until you request deletion where applicable. Retention periods vary by data type and context.

9. Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use strong unique passwords for accounts you maintain with us or our providers, and notify us of any suspected unauthorized access related to our services.

10. Children’s privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take steps to delete it as required by law.

11. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, which can include:

• Accessing the personal information we hold about you
• Correcting inaccurate information
• Requesting deletion, subject to legal exceptions
• Objecting to or restricting certain processing
• Opting out of marketing communications
• Receiving a portable copy of certain data (where applicable)

To exercise these rights, contact us using the methods described in Section 14. We may need to verify your identity before responding. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority in your jurisdiction.

Marketing emails: You can unsubscribe using the link in those emails or by contacting us. Transactional messages related to orders or account activity may still be sent when necessary.

12. International visitors

The Site is operated from the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. Those locations may have different data protection laws than your home country. By using the Site, you acknowledge this transfer as permitted by applicable law.

13. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top. Material changes may also be highlighted on the Site or communicated by other reasonable means. Continued use of the Site after an update becomes effective means you acknowledge the revised Policy.
