5) Wix Platform Notice
Our store is built on Wix, and some information is processed through Wix systems to operate the site and provide store features. Wix’s own privacy practices are described in Wix’s privacy policy.
​
6) Cookies & Similar Technologies
Cookies help our site work properly (like keeping items in your cart) and can also be used for analytics and marketing (depending on your settings). Wix provides guidance and tools (like a cookie banner) through its Privacy Center for managing non-essential cookies.
Your choices: You can adjust cookie preferences through any cookie banner we display (if enabled) and/or your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality (like cart/checkout).
7) Marketing Messages (Email/SMS)
If you opt in to receive promotions:
You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in an email, or by contacting us at info@thedetroitboys.org. Even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send transactional messages (order confirmations, shipping updates, important account/service notices).
8) “Do Not Sell or Share”
We do not sell personal information. If you are a resident of a state that provides “Do Not Sell/Share” rights (e.g., under certain privacy laws), Wix notes that sites may provide a “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” option to help visitors control certain data transfers.
If we offer such a link on our site, you may use it to manage applicable data-sharing preferences.
9) Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to:
-fulfill orders and provide customer support
-maintain business records (accounting/tax)
-comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes
When no longer needed, we delete or de-identify information where appropriate.
​
10) Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11) International Visitors
Wix is a global platform, and information may be processed or stored in locations outside your state or country depending on Wix and service-provider operations. For more on Wix’s processing practices, see Wix’s privacy policy.

​
14) Changes to This Privacy Policy

What to include in the Privacy Policy
Generally speaking, a Privacy Policy often addresses these types of issues: the types of information the website is collecting and the manner in which it collects the data; an explanation about why is the website collecting these types of information; what are the website’s practices on sharing the information with third parties; ways in which your visitors and customers can exercise their rights according to the relevant privacy legislation; the specific practices regarding minors’ data collection; and much, much more.
