Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 20, 2026

Chinka Shopping respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information collected through our website and digital services.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when it may be shared, and what choices you may have regarding your information.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following information:

  • name and contact details;
  • email address;
  • billing and transaction information;
  • order number and purchase history;
  • information submitted through forms, questionnaires, or consultations;
  • store links, screenshots, and product information provided for reviews;
  • messages and communications with customer support;
  • workshop or consultation booking details;
  • device, browser, IP address, and general location data;
  • website activity, cookie data, and analytics information.

We do not intentionally request full payment card numbers, card security codes, account passwords, or other unnecessary sensitive information.

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. Chinka Shopping generally does not directly store complete payment card information.

2. How We Collect Information

Information may be collected when you:

  • visit or use our website;
  • create an order;
  • purchase a digital service;
  • complete a questionnaire or contact form;
  • request an Online Store Trust Check or Secure Checkout Review;
  • book a consultation or workshop;
  • contact customer support;
  • subscribe to marketing communications;
  • interact with cookies or analytics technologies.

3. How We Use Your Information

We may use personal information to:

  • process and confirm orders;
  • deliver digital courses, guides, reports, and materials;
  • prepare personalized assessments and shopping plans;
  • conduct workshops and consultations;
  • communicate about purchases and service updates;
  • respond to questions, refund requests, and complaints;
  • verify transactions and prevent fraud;
  • improve our website and services;
  • maintain business and accounting records;
  • comply with legal and regulatory obligations;
  • send marketing messages where consent or another lawful basis applies.

We aim to collect only information reasonably needed for these purposes. Maintaining clear privacy promises and appropriate safeguards is an important part of responsible data handling.

4. Information Provided for Reviews

Some services may require customers to provide store links, product details, screenshots, checkout information, or other supporting materials.

Before submitting information, customers should remove or hide:

  • passwords;
  • full payment card numbers;
  • card security codes;
  • bank login details;
  • identification numbers;
  • private account credentials;
  • information belonging to another person that is not necessary for the service.

Submitted materials will be used only to provide the requested service, maintain relevant records, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations.

5. Legal Bases for Processing

Where required by applicable law, we may process personal information because:

  • it is necessary to provide a purchased service;
  • it is necessary to take steps requested before entering into a contract;
  • you have provided consent;
  • processing is required by law;
  • processing is necessary for legitimate business interests, such as security, fraud prevention, service improvement, and customer support.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

6. Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • operate essential website functions;
  • remember user preferences;
  • understand website traffic and performance;
  • improve navigation and content;
  • measure marketing effectiveness;
  • prevent fraud and protect the website.

You may manage cookies through your browser or through any cookie settings available on the website.

Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

7. How We Share Information

We may share limited personal information with trusted service providers that help us operate the business, including:

  • website and hosting providers;
  • payment processors;
  • email and communication platforms;
  • analytics providers;
  • booking and video-conferencing platforms;
  • cloud storage providers;
  • accounting, legal, and technical service providers.

These providers may access information only as reasonably necessary to perform their services.

We may also disclose information when required to:

  • comply with applicable law;
  • respond to a lawful request;
  • protect our rights, customers, or systems;
  • investigate fraud, security incidents, or misuse;
  • complete a merger, sale, restructuring, or transfer of business assets.

8. Sale of Personal Information

Chinka Shopping does not intend to sell personal information for money.

Where applicable privacy law defines “sale” or “sharing” more broadly, users may have the right to opt out of certain advertising-related disclosures. California law, for example, may provide eligible consumers with rights concerning the sale or sharing of personal information.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • provide our services;
  • maintain order and transaction records;
  • respond to customer requests;
  • prevent fraud and misuse;
  • resolve disputes;
  • enforce agreements;
  • satisfy tax, accounting, and legal requirements.

When information is no longer needed, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against:

  • unauthorized access;
  • accidental loss;
  • misuse;
  • alteration;
  • disclosure;
  • destruction.

However, no website, online transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Customers are responsible for protecting their account credentials and should contact us if they suspect unauthorized activity.

11. International Data Transfers

Our website, service providers, or digital platforms may process information in countries other than the customer’s country of residence.

Where required, reasonable safeguards will be used for international transfers of personal information.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • request access to your personal information;
  • request correction of inaccurate information;
  • request deletion of certain information;
  • restrict certain processing;
  • object to certain processing;
  • withdraw consent;
  • receive certain information in a portable format;
  • opt out of certain marketing communications;
  • opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information;
  • submit a complaint to an appropriate data protection authority.

These rights are not absolute and may be limited by legal, security, accounting, or contractual requirements. Data-protection frameworks such as the GDPR expressly recognize several of these rights.

To submit a privacy request, contact Chinka Shopping using the contact details published on the website and include:

  • your full name;
  • the email address associated with your order;
  • the nature of your request;

We may request reasonable verification before processing a request to protect information from unauthorized access or deletion.

14. Marketing Communications

Where permitted, we may send information about services, updates, or promotions.

You may unsubscribe by:

  • using the unsubscribe option in the message;
  • contacting us directly;
  • changing available communication preferences.

Transactional messages concerning purchases, security, delivery, refunds, or service administration may still be sent.

15. Third-Party Websites

Our website or reports may contain links to online stores, payment providers, marketplaces, or other third-party websites.

Chinka Shopping does not control the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of those third parties. Customers should review the privacy policy of each external website before providing personal information.

Chinka Shopping services are not intended for children who are not legally permitted to purchase digital services independently in their location.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If such information has been submitted improperly, a parent or legal guardian may contact us to request its review or deletion.

The revised version will be published on the website with an updated effective date.
