Welcome to Xmas Trees Shop! At Xmas Trees Shop (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Site”), accessible from xmastreesshop.com, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your data when you visit our website and make purchases of our beautiful Christmas trees, from charming 2.5-foot tabletop trees to grand 14-foot centerpieces.

By using our Site, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with the terms, please do not access the Site.

1. Information We Collect

To provide you with a seamless and secure shopping experience, we collect information that you provide directly to us and through automated technologies:

• Personal Identification Information: This includes your name, shipping address (such as 1693 Alice Court, Annapolis), email address, and phone number, which are necessary to process your order and deliver your perfect Christmas tree.
• Payment Information: When you make a purchase, our secure payment partners (like Visa, MasterCard, JCB, and PayPal) collect your payment details. We do not store your full credit card information on our servers.
• Technical and Browsing Data: We automatically collect information about your device and how you interact with our Site, such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and the types of Christmas trees you browse (e.g., 10-14 ft trees, 6-6.5 ft trees). This helps us improve your experience.
• Cookies and Tracking Data: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to remember your preferences, analyze trends, and understand which festive trees are most popular. For more details, see Section 5.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data helps us create a magical and hassle-free holiday shopping experience for our global community. We use it to:

• Process your transactions and arrange for the shipment of your tree.
• Communicate with you about your order, provide customer support, and respond to your inquiries at [email protected].
• Improve our website, product offerings, and customer service based on your browsing habits and feedback.
• Send you promotional emails about new products, special offers, or other information we think you may find interesting, but only if you have explicitly opted-in.
• Prevent fraud and enhance the security of our Site.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

Your trust is our priority. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We only share your data in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We share necessary information with trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business (like payment processors including PayPal, and shipping carriers), and serving you, so long as they agree to keep this information confidential and secure.
• Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
• Business Transfers: In the event that we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Given our global customer base (serving most countries, excluding some remote areas and parts of Asia), your data may be processed in the United States or other locations, always under strict data protection agreements.

4. Data Storage and Security

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your data is stored on secure servers, and all supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and encrypted into our Payment gateway providers’ database, accessible only by those authorized with special access rights who are required to keep the information confidential.

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

We use cookies to:

• Understand and save user’s preferences for future visits.
• Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions to offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies via your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some features that make your site experience more efficient may not function properly.
