2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to deliver the “unbeatable prices” and great service we promise, ensuring your shopping experience is as comfortable as our Wally Stretch Sox.

• To Process & Fulfill Orders: To complete your purchase, send order confirmations, ship products globally (excluding Asia and certain remote regions), and handle returns/exchanges.
• To Communicate With You: To send transactional emails (order updates, shipping confirmations), respond to your inquiries, and send you marketing communications about new collections (like the Women’s Fall Edit or Men’s Viral Best Sellers), promotions, and exclusive offers—if you’ve opted in.
• To Improve Our Website & Products: To analyze trends, monitor site performance, and understand how customers interact with our menus and product pages to enhance your experience.
• To Personalize Your Experience: To recommend products you might like (e.g., showing you Men’s Wide Styles if you’ve browsed them) and tailor content on our site.
• For Security & Fraud Prevention: To protect our website, business, and customers from fraudulent transactions and unauthorized access.
• For Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal requests.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We value your trust and do not sell your personal information. We only share data in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: With trusted third parties who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing (e.g., for Men’s Buy With Prime), shipping carriers, email marketing services, and IT support. These partners are contractually obligated to protect your data.
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business.

• With Your Consent: We may share information for specific purposes with your explicit consent.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data’s security is as important to us as the quality of our Paul Collection shoes.

• Storage: We store data on secure servers located in the United States and other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. By using our site, you acknowledge this transfer.
• Retention: We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
• Security Measures: We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures, including SSL encryption, firewalls, and access controls, to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
