Welcome to GeekMesh! This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our e-commerce website (the "Site"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information only when necessary to provide our services:

• Account Information: If you sign in, we only store your email and username. We do not save other personal information unless you provide it for specific services.
• Shipping Address: When you place an order, you have the option to save your shipping address for future orders. If you choose to save it, the address will be used only to automatically fill in future shipping forms. If you choose not to save it, the address will be stored solely for the purpose of completing the current order and will be associated only with the order, not your account.

2. Payment Information

We use PayPal as our payment provider, so we never store or have access to your payment details. All payment processing is handled securely by PayPal.

3. Communications

We will send you email notifications only regarding your order status or account updates. If you sign up for our newsletter, you will receive promotional emails from us; otherwise, we will not send promotional emails without your explicit consent.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

• Cookies: We do not actively use cookies on our Site. However, cookies may be utilized through our third-party authentication system provided by Next.js and Next/Auth.
• Local Storage: We use local storage in your browser to store cart information for non-logged users (guest carts). This data is cleared if you log into the Site.

5. Data Security

We prioritize your data security and employ industry-standard practices to protect your information. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is entirely secure.

6. Third-Party Services

We use third-party services such as Printify to provide our print-on-demand products. Your information may be shared with these providers only to the extent necessary to fulfill your orders. Our authentication is handled via Next/Auth, which may also use cookies to manage your login status securely.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information stored on our Site. Please contact us at geekmeshmerch@gmail.com for assistance with your account or data.
