• Credit and debit card payment processing
• PayPal payment processing

Our website may contain links to third-party websites.

We are not responsible for the independent privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites.

When you leave nowheretowear.com, the privacy policy of the destination website may apply.

14. International and Cross-Border Data Processing

Because we serve customers in the United States and Canada and may use service providers operating in different locations, personal information may be processed or stored outside your state, province, or country.

Cross-border processing may occur in connection with payment processing, shipping, fraud prevention, analytics, website hosting, or customer support.

Where required, appropriate safeguards may be used for cross-border processing.

Personal information may therefore be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction where it is processed.

We may request documentation reasonably necessary to confirm the representative's authority and verify the identity of the person concerned.

20. Data Correction

If your personal information is inaccurate or incomplete, you may contact us to request correction where applicable.

For active orders, contact us as soon as possible if shipping, billing, or contact information needs to be corrected.

Changes to order or shipping information may not be possible after fulfillment or shipment has begun.

Where applicable law provides a deletion right, you may request deletion of eligible personal information.

We may retain certain information where necessary for:

• Completing transactions
• Payment records
• Tax obligations
• Accounting
• Fraud prevention
• Security
• Legal claims
• Regulatory compliance
• Recordkeeping
• Dispute resolution

A valid deletion request may therefore not result in deletion of every record associated with a transaction.

Retention periods may depend on:

• Order history
• Payment and transaction records

• Restricted access to customer information

No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

24. Payment Security

Credit/debit card and PayPal payments are handled through designated checkout processes and authorized payment providers.

Credit and debit card information may be transmitted to payment processors, supported card networks, and financial institutions as necessary to authorize and process a transaction.

PayPal payment information may be processed by PayPal when PayPal is selected during checkout.

Nowheretowear generally does not need to directly store full payment card numbers, card security codes, or PayPal passwords for ordinary transaction processing.

Customers should enter sensitive payment information only through the designated secure checkout process.

Customers should never send full card numbers, card security codes, PayPal passwords, authentication codes, or other sensitive payment credentials through ordinary email or customer support messages.

25. Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children below the minimum age at which they may lawfully provide such information without parental or guardian authorization.

If we become aware that personal information was collected from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to address the matter.

A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information improperly may contact us at support@nowheretowear.com.

26. Email Communications

We may send transactional emails relating to:

• Orders
• Credit/debit card or PayPal payment confirmations
• Payment issues
• Shipping
• Tracking

Promotional emails, where used, will be sent subject to applicable consent and unsubscribe requirements.

27. Marketing Opt-Out

You may opt out of promotional emails by:

• Using the unsubscribe option in the email
• Contacting support@nowheretowear.com

Opting out of marketing does not prevent us from sending necessary transactional communications relating to an order, payment, shipment, return, refund, or support request.

28. Do Not Track and Browser Signals

Some browsers offer privacy signals such as "Do Not Track."

Because industry treatment of these signals may vary, our response may depend on the technologies and legal requirements applicable to our website.

Where applicable law requires recognition of legally valid browser-based opt-out signals, we will handle them as required.

These checks may consider factors such as:

• Security indicators

Automated screening may be used to protect customers, payment systems, and our website from suspected fraud or unauthorized activity.
