Given that your site is built on WordPress using WooCommerce and Stripe, I’ll update the relevant sections of the Privacy Policy to reflect that. Here’s the revised version:
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.mechkeybs.com (the “Site”).
1. Personal Information We Collect
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit All About Cookies.
- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
- “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.
- Analytics tracking like Google Analytics.
Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.
2. How Do We Use Your Personal Information?
We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
- Communicate with you;
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
- When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
3. Sharing Your Personal Information
We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use WooCommerce to power our online store and Stripe to process payments–you can read more about how WooCommerce and Stripe use your Personal Information here:
We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site–you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: Google Privacy Policy. You can also opt out of Google Analytics here: Google Analytics Opt-out.
Third-Party Data Sharing
We may share your Personal Information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our Site, conducting our business, or serving our customers. These third parties are obligated to keep your information secure and confidential, and they may only use your data for the purposes we specify. We do not sell your Personal Information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant, or other lawful requests for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
4. Behavioural Advertising

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our Site, such as keeping track of your preferences and recognizing you when you return. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our Site.
6. Do Not Track
Please note that we do not alter our Site’s data collection and use practices when we see a Do Not Track signal from your browser.
7. Data Security
We implement a variety of security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include encryption, secure servers, and regular monitoring for potential vulnerabilities and attacks. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children’s Privacy
Our Site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.

10. International Data Transfers
We operate globally and may transfer your personal information to countries outside of your residence, including the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. By using the Site, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States, where it may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in those countries according to local laws.
