Welcome to SHEIN Clothing Store! At SHEIN, we celebrate Australian beach culture and global fashion, offering stylish swimwear like bikini sets, one-pieces, and cover-ups to confident women worldwide. Just as we prioritise quality in our designs, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring your personal data is handled securely. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit womenbikinistore.com. By using our website, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

To provide you with a seamless shopping experience, we collect the following types of information:

• Personal Information: When you make a purchase or create an account, we collect details such as your name, email address, shipping address, and payment information (e.g., Visa, MasterCard, JCB, or PayPal details). This helps us process your orders and deliver your favourite swimwear.
• Technical Data: We automatically collect information like your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages you visit through cookies and similar technologies. This enhances site performance and personalises your browsing.
• Usage Data: We gather data on how you interact with our website, such as products viewed or purchased, to improve our offerings and tailor promotions to your interests.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data is used to ensure a secure, efficient, and personalised experience:

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We value your trust and only share your data in limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We partner with trusted third parties (e.g., payment processors like PayPal or shipping carriers) to handle orders and payments securely. These providers adhere to strict confidentiality agreements.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Your security is our priority, much like the confidence our swimwear inspires. We implement robust measures to protect your data:

• Secure Storage: Data is stored on encrypted servers with limited access. We do not retain your full payment details on our systems after transaction processing.
• Encryption: All sensitive information (e.g., payment data) is encrypted using industry-standard technology (e.g., SSL) during transmission.
• International Transfers: As we serve customers globally (excluding some Asian countries and remote areas), data may be processed in locations with adequate data protection laws.
• Retention: We keep your data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined or as required by law.
