This Privacy Policy explains how Retro Sole Search handles personal information when you visit this website or contact us. Retro Sole Search is operated by Birk Productions.
Information we collect
Information you provide. If you email us, we receive your email address and the information contained in your message. Please do not send passwords, payment details, or other sensitive personal information.
Technical information. Our hosting and security services may automatically process information such as IP address, browser and device type, requested pages, timestamps, referring pages, and security events. This information is used to deliver the website, maintain reliability, prevent abuse, and investigate technical or security problems.
Cookies and similar technologies
Retro Sole Search uses Google Analytics 4, connected through Google Site Kit, to understand how visitors find and use the website. Analytics may process information such as pages viewed, approximate location, browser and device information, referring pages, timestamps, and interactions with site content. Google may use cookies or similar identifiers to provide this service.
We use this information to measure traffic, improve content, and understand which guides are useful. Where consent is legally required, analytics storage should only be activated after consent. You can withdraw or change your choice through the site’s consent controls. WordPress may also use essential cookies for administrators and other logged-in users; these are required for site operation.
Google processes Analytics data under its applicable terms and data-protection commitments. Information may be processed outside Sweden or the European Economic Area subject to applicable transfer safeguards. Analytics data is retained according to the settings of the Retro Sole Search Analytics property.
Affiliate and external links
Some pages may contain affiliate links. If you follow an external link, the destination website may collect information and use cookies under its own privacy policy. Retro Sole Search does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites. Affiliate relationships are disclosed close to relevant recommendations and on our Affiliate Disclosure page.
How we use information
- to operate, secure, and improve the website;
- to respond to questions, corrections, and other messages;
- to prevent fraud, spam, abuse, and security incidents;
- to meet legal obligations and protect legal rights.
Where applicable, processing is based on our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the website, taking steps requested by you, consent when required, or compliance with legal obligations.
Service providers and transfers
We may use hosting, domain, email, security, and technical service providers that process limited information on our behalf or for their own legitimate operational purposes. Some providers may process information outside your country. Where required, appropriate safeguards are used for international transfers.
Retention
Email correspondence is retained only as long as reasonably necessary to handle the enquiry, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, or meet legal obligations. Technical and security logs are retained according to the schedules of our hosting and security providers and only for as long as needed for operational and security purposes.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of personal information, and to withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. These rights can be subject to legal exceptions.
To make a privacy request, email contact@retrosolesearch.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. If you are in Sweden or the European Economic Area, you may also lodge a complaint with the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) or your local data-protection authority.
