Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how doughdynasty.store ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and discloses your personal information when you visit or make a purchase from our website.
1. Personal Information We Collect
When you visit our Site, we collect certain information about your device, how you interact with the Site, and the information necessary to process your purchases. We may also collect additional information if you contact us for customer support. Any data that can identify you as an individual is referred to as “Personal Information.”
When it comes to device information, we collect details such as your browser version, IP address, time zone, cookie data, pages or products you view, search terms used, and how you interact with the Site. This information is used to ensure the Site loads correctly and to help us understand usage trends through analytics. It is collected automatically using tools like cookies, log files, web beacons, tags, and pixels. This data may be shared with service providers such as Shopify and PayPal.
Order information is also collected when you make a purchase. This includes your name, billing and shipping address, payment information (including credit card details), email address, and phone number. We use this information to fulfill your order, process payments, arrange for shipping, provide order confirmations and invoices, communicate with you, and screen for potential fraud. This information is provided directly by you and shared with third-party processors like Shopify and PayPal to complete your transactions.
If you reach out for customer support, we may collect your name, contact details, and relevant order information. This is used strictly to provide support and resolve any issues related to your order or experience with our store.
2. Minors
Our Site is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can delete the information.
3. How We Use Your Personal Information
We use your personal information to provide our services to you. This includes offering products for sale, processing your payments, fulfilling your orders, handling shipping and delivery, and keeping you updated on new products, services, and offers that match your preferences.
4. Sharing Your Personal Information
We share your personal information with trusted third-party service providers to help us operate our business and fulfill orders. For example, our online store is powered by Shopify, and you can review their privacy practices at Shopify Privacy Policy. We may also disclose personal information when required to comply with legal obligations, such as responding to lawful requests like subpoenas or search warrants, or when necessary to protect our rights.
5. Lawful Basis for Processing (EEA Residents)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process your personal data based on several lawful grounds. These include your consent, the need to fulfill our contract with you, compliance with legal obligations, protection of your vital interests, the performance of tasks carried out in the public interest, and our legitimate business interests—as long as these do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
6. Data Retention
When you place an order through our Site, we will retain your personal information for our records unless and until you request that we delete it. For more details about your right to request deletion, please refer to the "Your Rights" section below.
7. Automated Decision-Making
We do not use fully automated decision-making processes that have a legal or significant impact on you. However, our processor, Shopify, may use limited automated tools to prevent fraud. For instance, they may temporarily block IP addresses after multiple failed transactions or flag credit cards linked to suspicious activity. These measures are temporary and do not have a legal or substantial impact on customers.
8. Selling Personal Information (CCPA Compliance)
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), some of the information collected through our Site may be considered a “sale” of personal information. If applicable, we will clearly state which categories of data are sold, offer instructions on how you can opt out of such sales, and explain whether we collect or sell the information of individuals under the age of 16. If we offer financial incentives for retaining or sharing data, those will also be explained in this section.
9. Your Rights
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, request that it be corrected or updated, ask for its deletion, or request that we transfer it to another service provider. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below. Please note that your data may be processed initially in Ireland and then transferred to other locations, including Canada and the United States, for further processing. For more on how Shopify handles data transfers under the GDPR, you can view Shopify’s GDPR Whitepaper.
If you are a resident of California, you also have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you (also referred to as the “Right to Know”), request that it be updated or deleted, and opt out of any sale of your personal data. You may contact us directly to exercise these rights, or you may authorize an agent to do so on your behalf. For more information, please get in touch with us at the contact details below.

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted once you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are manually deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and typically expire between 30 minutes and two years from the time they are set.
You have the ability to control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling or removing cookies may affect your browsing experience, and certain features of our website may become unavailable or function improperly.
Most web browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can choose to modify your settings to reject cookies or notify you when they are being used. These options are usually found under the “Tools” or “Preferences” section of your browser. For more information on how to manage or block cookies, you can refer to your browser’s help documentation or visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
Keep in mind that blocking cookies may not entirely prevent us from sharing information with third parties, such as advertising partners. To manage how your data is shared or to opt out of certain advertising practices, please refer to the “Behavioral Advertising” section above.
Do Not Track
Please note that we do not change our data collection or usage practices in response to “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals from your browser. This is because there is currently no consistent industry standard for how websites should respond to these signals.

Any updates will be posted on this page, and the “Last Updated” date at the top of the policy will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
