Galileo & Friends respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have.
What we collect
- Account data: name, email, password (hashed), shipping and billing addresses.
- Order data: items purchased, order total, transaction ID, delivery status.
- Payment data: handled entirely by PayPal — we never see or store card numbers.
- Site usage: pages visited, device type, referring source (analytics cookies, if you consent).
- Communications: emails you send us via support or contact forms.
How we use it
- To fulfil and ship your order, and answer your questions.
- To send order confirmations, shipping updates and (if you opt in) our occasional newsletter.
- To improve the site — understanding what people browse, where they get stuck.
- To meet legal obligations (tax records, fraud prevention).
Who we share with
We share the minimum data required to run the business — nothing sold, ever. Third parties are:
- PayPal — payment processing.
- Shipping carriers — to deliver your order.
- Hosting (Hostinger) and email providers — to keep the site and mail running.
- Analytics providers — only if you accept cookies.
Your rights
You can, at any time:
- Request a copy of your data.
- Correct anything that’s wrong.
- Ask us to delete your account (subject to legal retention for order records).
- Opt out of newsletters — every email carries an unsubscribe link.
Cookies
Essential cookies keep the site working (cart, login). Analytics cookies help us understand usage. You’ll be asked to accept or decline non-essential cookies on your first visit.
