    A. Google Reviews

    Google Reviews displayed on our website are manually curated and entered by Sole & Skin. Our website does not retrieve them automatically via an API integration. When manually supplied Google reviews are displayed, they are appropriately identified as "Google Review" to differentiate them from website feedback. We do not expose private reviewer information that was not intended for public display by the reviewer.

    B. Website Feedback

    Feedback submitted directly through our website is initially treated as private and internal. Only after review and explicit approval by our team may your feedback be displayed publicly. We ensure that the email address associated with your feedback is never displayed publicly.

    05. Cookies & Similar Technologies

    Sole & Skin does not currently use cookies for marketing or advertising. We may use essential cookies or similar technologies strictly for essential website functionality, remembering preferences, security, and basic performance measurement.

    06. Analytics

    A. Google Analytics

    We may use Google Analytics to understand website traffic, page usage, visitor interactions, and general website performance. We do not send your feedback text, email address, name, or other unnecessary personal information to our analytics systems.

    B. Google Tag Manager

    We may use Google Tag Manager to manage our website tags and measurement technologies. Google Tag Manager is a tag management system and does not independently collect analytics data.

    C. Analytics Event Privacy

    Our website may track interaction events such as when a feedback form is started, submitted, succeeds, fails, or when a specific CTA is clicked. We explicitly do not send your customer name, email, feedback text, or private enquiry content to our analytics tools.

    07. How We Share Information

    We share personal information only when reasonably necessary to operate our business and website. This includes sharing with service providers for website infrastructure, analytics, security, and communication, or when required by legal obligations.

    Sole & Skin does not sell personal information to third parties.

    08. Third-Party Services

    Our website relies on third-party services for essential operations, including Vercel, Supabase, Zoho, Cloudflare, and Google Analytics.

    Additionally, our website may contain links to third-party websites. Sole & Skin is not responsible for the privacy practices of those external websites, and we encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

    09. Data Retention

    We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law.

    10. Data Security

    We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including HTTPS encryption, secure authentication, database access restrictions, server-side validation, and spam protection mechanisms. While we strive to protect your data, no system can be completely immune from breaches.
