1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how [techttools] (“We,” “Us,” or “Our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects your Personal Identifiable Information (PII) when you use our website and services. We are an international e-commerce dropshipping store. By making a purchase or using our services, you consent to the data practices described in this policy, including the essential sharing of data with international third-party suppliers necessary for order fulfillment.

2. Information We Collect

We collect data from you directly when you place an order, create an account, or contact us.

2.1. Personal Identifiable Information (PII) This includes your Name, email address, physical shipping address, billing address, and phone number. This information is essential for us to fulfill your order.

2.2. Transaction and Payment Data This includes details about the products you purchase, order details, and your order history. We do not store full credit card numbers; this information is securely transmitted directly to our payment processors.

2.3. Device and Usage Data We collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and geographical location. This data is collected automatically to ensure site optimization, run analytics, and, most importantly, for fraud prevention and security purposes.

3. Essential Sharing of Personal Information (Fulfillment & Logistics)

This section is vital for our dropshipping model and explicitly addresses why we must share your data, which resolves the main issue with your previous policy.

3.1. Sharing with International Suppliers:

To fulfill your order, we operate using a dropshipping model. This means we must share certain essential PII (your name, shipping address, and phone number) with our third-party, international suppliers (who often operate via platforms like AliExpress) and their associated logistics partners.

  • Justification: This data transfer is strictly necessary for the performance of the contract with you—that is, to process and ship your purchased goods directly to your location.

  • Location of Processing: Our suppliers and fulfillment partners may be located in jurisdictions outside your country (e.g., China). By placing an order, you acknowledge and consent to this necessary international transfer of data for fulfillment purposes. We commit to sharing only the minimum required information.

3.2. Sharing with Payment Gateways:

We share your transaction data and device data with third-party payment processors (e.g., PayPal, Stripe) for the purposes of secure payment authorization, processing, and mandatory fraud screening. These entities handle your sensitive financial data according to their own stringent privacy and security standards.

4. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA Compliance)

Depending on your location, you may have rights concerning your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or delete the PII we hold about you. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided below. We will balance these requests against our legal obligation to retain transaction records for financial and tax purposes (typically a minimum of three years).

5. Cookies

We use cookies to improve your user experience and for analytics. By using our site, you agree to our use of cookies.
