Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 29, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how The Smart Girl ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and shares personal information when you use howtosellyourfeetpics.com and purchase our digital products (the "Site" and, together with our digital products, the "Offerings").

We sell digital products only, do not create user accounts, and limit the personal information we collect to what we need to deliver purchases, provide support, and improve the Site. This Policy applies worldwide.

1) Who we are & contact

Controller: The Smart Girl, organized in Colorado, United States
Website: howtosellyourfeetpics.com
Contact: smartgirl@howtosellyourfeetpics.com
Audience: The Offerings are intended for individuals 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

2) Information we collect

We collect the following categories of information:

• Order & contact information: email address, name (if provided), order ID, products purchased.
• Payment information: payments are processed by Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number. Stripe may collect payment details, device data, and fraud‑prevention signals. See Stripe’s own privacy disclosures.
• Communications: content of emails you send us (support requests, refund inquiries).
• Technical & usage data: IP address, device/browser type, pages viewed, timestamps, and similar diagnostic data generated by your device. We use this to operate, secure, and improve the Site and to detect/prevent abuse or fraud.
• Cookies & similar technologies: We use essential cookies to operate the Site and limited analytics to understand aggregate usage. You can control cookies via your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect functionality.

3) How we use your information

We use personal information to:

• Provide and deliver digital products, including sending download links or files to your email;
• Process payments and prevent fraud (via Stripe and fraud‑prevention tools);
• Provide customer support, including refunds under our 30‑day guarantee;
• Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our Offerings;
• Comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our Terms.

We do not make health claims and we do not use your data for medical purposes. We may provide safety guidance related to online practices.

4) Legal bases for processing (GDPR/UK GDPR)

If you are in the EU/EEA or UK, we process your information under these legal bases:

• Contract: to process your order and deliver digital products;
• Legitimate interests: to secure and improve the Site, prevent fraud/abuse, and respond to your inquiries;
• Legal obligation: to maintain records for tax and accounting;
• Consent: where required by law (e.g., certain analytics or marketing communications). You can withdraw consent at any time.

5) Sharing of information

We share information with service providers who perform services on our behalf, including:

• Payments: Stripe (payment processing, fraud prevention).
• Hosting & infrastructure: cloud hosting, storage, and content delivery providers.
• Email & communications: email service providers to send order confirmations and support responses.
• Analytics & security: tools that help us understand usage and protect the Site.

We require service providers to use your information only as instructed by us. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross‑context behavioral advertising.

6) International transfers

We are based in the United States and may process your information in the U.S. and other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) or other lawful transfer mechanisms provided by our service providers (e.g., Stripe) to protect personal data transferred from the EU/UK to the U.S.

7) Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above:

• Order records: typically kept for 7 years for tax/accounting.
• Support communications: typically 3 years after resolution.
• Technical logs: typically 12 months for security/diagnostics.
  We may retain information longer if required by law or to resolve disputes.

8) Your rights

Your rights depend on where you live. Subject to legal limits, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you;
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
• Delete your information;
• Object to or restrict certain processing;
• Port your information to another provider (data portability);
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

How to exercise your rights: Email smartgirl@howtosellyourfeetpics.com with your request and enough detail to verify your identity and locate your records. If you are in the EU/UK, you may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

U.S. state privacy disclosures (including Colorado & California)

We do not sell personal information. We also do not share personal information for cross‑context behavioral advertising. You may still request access, deletion, or correction by emailing us. If we deny your request, Colorado residents may appeal by replying to our response with "Privacy Appeal" in the subject line.

9) Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the Internet or method of storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10) Minors

Our Offerings are for adults 18+. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

11) Third‑party sites

The Site may link to third‑party websites or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.

12) Changes to this Policy

We will update this Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Offerings after changes means you accept the updated Policy.

Summary of key points: We collect minimal data to deliver your digital purchase and support you; payments run through Stripe; we don’t sell or share your data for cross‑context behavioral advertising; you can contact us anytime to access or delete your data.
