Last Updated: [Date]

Hello, lovely Chic Shoe Co. community! We’re so thrilled to have you as part of our global family of fashion dreamers. Just as we carefully craft our ARCHIES THONGS, DRESSES, and statement PLATFORMS & HEELS, we approach your privacy with the same care, attention, and dedication to quality.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit chicshoeco.com. By using our website, you consent to the practices described below. We’ve designed this policy to be as transparent and easy to understand as our checkout process!

🌎 Data Sharing & Disclosure

We value your trust and are selective about who we share your information with:

Your security is our sole priority! We implement industry-standard measures to protect your information:

• SSL encryption technology to secure data transmission
• Secure servers with limited access to your personal information
• Regular security assessments and updates to our systems
