This Privacy Policy explains what information The Shoe Recommender ("we," "us," "our") collects when you use our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. We've tried to write it in plain language rather than legalese.
When you take our fit quiz, you tell us things like your foot characteristics, running habits, and shoe preferences. We use this to generate your recommendation. These answers are about your preferences, not your identity, and we don't ask for your name or personal details to use the quiz.
If you email us or use our contact page, we'll have whatever information you choose to include in that message, such as your email address and whatever you write to us.
Like most websites, we (and the tools we use) may automatically collect standard technical information when you visit, such as your approximate location, browser type, device type, the pages you view, and how you arrived at the site. This is used in aggregate to understand how the site is performing and to improve it.
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Two kinds may apply on our site:
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Doing so won't stop you from using the fit quiz.
Our recommendations may include affiliate links that take you to third-party retailers such as Amazon, Running Warehouse, or shoe brands' own websites. Once you click through, you're on their site, governed by their privacy policies, not ours. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any site you visit.
We rely on a small number of reputable third-party services to run the site, which may include website hosting and analytics providers. These services may process limited technical data on our behalf as described above.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your quiz answers with shoe brands or advertisers in a way that identifies you.
You can use your browser to block cookies, browse privately, or clear stored data. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access or request deletion of personal information we hold about you. If you'd like to make such a request, email us and we'll do our best to help.
This site is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
We may update this policy as the site evolves. When we do, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
