Sample Chief (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit samplechief.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
We collect information in a few different ways, depending on how you use the site:
- Usage data — pages visited, time on site, device/browser type, and general location, collected automatically via Google Analytics if you accept cookies.
- Contact and newsletter information — name, email address, and country, if you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us directly.
- Order information — name, email, shipping address, and payment details if you make a purchase through our shop. Payments are processed securely by Shopify; we do not store your full payment card details ourselves.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them for two purposes:
- Essential cookies — needed for core site functionality, such as keeping items in your shopping cart and remembering your cookie preference. These cannot be disabled and do not require consent.
- Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the site, so we can improve it. These only load after you accept cookies via the banner shown on your first visit. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser’s site data for samplechief.com, which will show the banner again.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the website and shop
- Process and fulfill orders
- Send newsletters and respond to inquiries, if you’ve opted in
- Understand aggregate site usage and traffic trends
We do not sell your personal information.
Third-Party Services
We rely on a small number of trusted third parties to run this site, each with their own privacy practices:
- Shopify — ecommerce platform and payment processing
- Google Analytics — site usage analytics (only after cookie consent)
- Mailchimp — newsletter and email communications
- Vercel — website hosting and performance analytics
Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law (for example, order records for tax and accounting purposes).
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information, and to opt out of analytics tracking or marketing emails at any time. To make a request, email us at the address below. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter using the link in any email we send.
Children’s Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
