At Classic Leather, your privacy is not an afterthought. This policy explains exactly what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have over it. We operate as a fully online store serving customers worldwide, which means this policy is written to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for customers in the European Union, the UK GDPR for customers in the United Kingdom, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for customers in the United States.

By using our website and placing an order, you agree to the terms described in this policy.

1. Who We Are

Classic Leather is an online retailer of handcrafted full-grain leather goods operating worldwide through our website at classicleathershop.com. For the purposes of this policy, we are the data controller responsible for your personal information. You can reach us at support@classicleathershop.com for any privacy-related questions or requests.

2. What Information We Collect

We collect personal information in two ways: information you provide directly to us, and information collected automatically when you use our website.

4. Payment Processing

All payments on our website are processed securely through our payment partners: PayPal, Stripe, Klarna, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and major credit and debit card providers. Each of these providers operates under their own strict security and privacy standards. We do not store your full payment card details on our servers at any point. For information on how each payment provider handles your data, we recommend reviewing their individual privacy policies.

5. Third Parties We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal information to anyone. However, we share certain data with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our business. These include:

  • Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and user behavior
  • Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for advertising and pixel-based retargeting
  • Mailchimp to manage and send marketing emails
  • Customer support tools used by our live chat and support team

All third parties we work with are contractually required to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website to improve your experience, remember your preferences, and deliver relevant advertising. Our Cookie Policy explains this in full detail, including the types of cookies we use, how long they remain active, and how you can manage or disable them. You can read our Cookie Policy here.

7. Marketing Emails

If you sign up for our newsletter or opt in to marketing communications at checkout, we use Mailchimp to manage and send those emails. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email we send. Opting out of marketing emails does not affect transactional emails related to your orders.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, including processing orders, handling returns, and complying with legal obligations. In most cases, we retain order and account data for up to 7 years in line with standard accounting and legal requirements. You can request deletion of your data at any time, subject to any legal obligations that require us to retain certain records.
