Privacy Policy

Effective: January 1, 2026

Introduction

Desert Cities (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates desertcities.cc. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you shop with us or visit our website.

Information We Collect

We may collect:

  • Order & account information — name, email, shipping address, phone number, and payment details (processed via Stripe; we do not store full card numbers).
  • Usage data — pages visited, browser type, IP address, and time on site, collected via Google Analytics (see Cookies section below).
  • Communications — messages you send us via email or contact forms.

How We Use Your Information

  • Process and fulfill your orders
  • Send order confirmations and shipping updates
  • Respond to customer support inquiries
  • Analyze site traffic to improve our store (with your consent)
  • Comply with legal obligations

Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers necessary to operate our store — including Stripe (payments), shipping carriers, and email delivery providers — all of whom are bound by confidentiality obligations. We may disclose information when required by law.

Cookies & Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site. GA4 may set cookies and collect data including IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This data is processed by Google under their Privacy Policy.

We use Google Consent Mode v2: analytics cookies are only set after you explicitly accept via our consent banner. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and local storage, or via Google's opt-out tool.

Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures including TLS encryption and tokenized payment processing. No method of internet transmission is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion of your data
  • Opt out of analytics tracking (California residents — CCPA)
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@desertcities.cc.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by updating the effective date above. Continued use of our store after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
