1. Information We Collect

a. Information You Provide Directly

• Contact form submissions: if you use a contact form on this site, we receive the name, email address, and message you enter.
• WhatsApp messages: if you contact us via WhatsApp, your phone number and message content are received through WhatsApp’s own service, subject to WhatsApp’s privacy policy.
• Shoe Finder tool: if you use the Shoe Finder, you may enter details such as intended use, comfort priorities, or fit preferences so the tool can suggest footwear options.
• Size Converter tool: if you use the size conversion calculator, it processes the size or measurement you enter to display the converted result.

b. Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, we may automatically receive standard technical information, such as:

• IP address
• Browser type and device information
• Pages visited and time spent on them
• Referring website, if any

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above to:

• Respond to messages sent through our contact form or WhatsApp
• Provide the results you request from the Shoe Finder and Size Converter tools
• Understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site, so we can improve it
• Maintain the security of the website
• Comply with legal obligations where applicable

3. Cookies

This site may use cookies or similar technologies to:

• Remember basic preferences during your visit
• Support standard website functionality
• If analytics tools are active, help measure aggregate site usage

You can disable cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may affect some site features.

4. Affiliate Links

Urban Style Footwear participates in the Amazon Associates Program and may participate in other affiliate programs. Some links on this site may earn us a commission if you make a purchase after clicking them, at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate links may use tracking parameters or cookies set by the affiliate network (for example, Amazon) to attribute a purchase to this site. This is separate from, and in addition to, any analytics used directly on this site.

See our Affiliate Disclosure page for more detail.

5. Third-Party Services

This site relies on a small number of third-party services to function:

• Amazon Associates — for affiliate product links, as described above.
• Google Maps — embedded on pages that show our physical location.
• WhatsApp — for direct messaging, if you choose to contact us that way.
• Content delivery networks (jsDelivr, cdnjs, Google Fonts) — used to load website styling, icons, and fonts. Loading these resources may expose your IP address to those providers as a normal part of how they’re delivered.
• Analytics tools, if in use — see Section 1(b).

These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, which we don’t control.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information submitted through this site from unauthorized access, alteration, or misuse.

No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share information only:

• When required by law
• To protect our legal rights
• With service providers who help operate this site, under confidentiality obligations

8. Links to Other Websites

Our articles and guides link to other websites, including retailers and brand sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites, and encourage you to review their policies separately.

9. Children’s Privacy

This site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

10. Your Rights

Depending on where you’re located, applicable data protection law may give you rights over your personal information, which can include the right to:

• Request access to information we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of that information

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 12.
