Throughout this document, "we," "us," and "our" refer to kicksdrop.co. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in our Terms of Use.

This Policy governs our handling of personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") - that is, information that can be used to identify you as an individual, including your name, email address, and similar details. It also covers Personal Information that our business partners share with us or that we share with them.
This Policy does not apply to third-party websites or services linked from the Site. Those parties operate under their own privacy policies and we encourage you to review them before using their services.

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain technical data including IP address, device type, browser, pages viewed, session duration, and referral source. This data is collected via Google Analytics in anonymized and aggregated form and is not used to identify you individually.
