Privacy Policy

My Portuguese Culture | Last updated: October 29, 2026

Who we are

My Portuguese Culture operates an online merchandise store at https://www.myportugueseculture.com. Our development storefront is at https://myportugueseculture.com. For privacy questions, contact joemourato1@gmail.com or use our website Contact page.

Information we collect

When you place an order, create an account, subscribe to updates, or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, billing and delivery addresses, order details, selected products and sizes, customer-service messages, newsletter preferences, and account information. Our systems and service providers may also process IP addresses, browser/device data, and necessary cookies or other usage data.

How information is used

We use information to operate the store, process orders and refunds, coordinate fulfillment and shipping, maintain accounts, answer inquiries, prevent fraud, protect website security, meet legal obligations, and send marketing communications where permitted or requested.

Accounts and checkout

Our WooCommerce store permits guest checkout and customer account registration. Account holders may access their saved information and order history. WordPress and WooCommerce support account authentication and password recovery.

Payments

Payments may be processed through enabled services including WooPayments and PayPal; other displayed payment options can depend on provider availability and eligibility. Payment providers process payment credentials and transaction data under their own privacy terms. Ordinary WooCommerce order records may contain transaction references and limited payment-related details, but payment details are handled by the payment providers.

Merchandise production and delivery

We may disclose order and shipping information to the printing, production, delivery, and fulfillment providers used for an order, potentially including Printify or local fulfillment partners when those services are used. We share information reasonably needed to prepare and deliver merchandise and resolve problems.

Emails and newsletters

MailPoet is installed for newsletter functions. If you subscribe, your email address, subscription status, and associated email engagement data may be processed to manage updates and offers, subject to your preferences and applicable law. Use the unsubscribe link in marketing emails to opt out. Order and account emails may still be sent when needed.

Cookies, analytics, and external services

Essential cookies may support cart sessions, checkout, login, security, and preferences. Additional analytics, embedded content, and marketing tools, if enabled, may process usage information and use cookies or comparable technologies. The specific optional tools and consent mechanisms should be reviewed before publication. You can control many cookies through browser settings; disabling essential cookies may interrupt checkout.

Product reviews

If product reviews are enabled, review content, ratings, display names, and some technical information may be stored. Approved reviews can be publicly displayed. Verified-purchaser labels depend on WooCommerce purchase verification.

Sharing information

Information may be shared with hosting, technology support, email, anti-spam, payment, shipping, merchandise fulfillment, and professional service providers as necessary for the purposes described above, or when required by law. Service providers may have their own privacy policies.

Retention and requests

We retain information as reasonably necessary for orders, support, records, security, and legal obligations. Retention periods depend on the type of information and applicable requirements. WooCommerce currently does not automatically remove order data in response to an account-data erasure request; requests require review and may be limited by lawful retention obligations. Contact us to request access, correction, or deletion where applicable. We may verify identity before responding.

Security

We use website, account, and payment-service safeguards intended to protect information, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Children

Our merchandise store is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information improperly, please contact us.

Your rights and choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may be entitled to access, correct, delete, obtain, or restrict certain personal information, or opt out of particular uses. Contact us at the email below to make a request.

External links

Our website may link to social networks or other third-party websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

Changes

We may update this policy to reflect changes in store practices or applicable requirements. The latest version will be posted on this page.
