Data Storage and Security
Your data’s security is as important to us as the cushioning in our running shoes. We implement robust measures to protect your information:
- Storage: Data is stored on secure servers, and we do not retain sensitive payment details on our systems. Payment information is handled by PCI DSS-compliant providers.
- Encryption: We use end-to-end encryption to safeguard data during transmission, similar to the protection offered in our payment processing.
- Access Controls: Only authorized personnel have access to your data, and we regularly review our security practices to prevent unauthorized access.
- Data Retention: We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined, such as order fulfillment or legal requirements.
While we strive for maximum security, no online system is entirely risk-free. We encourage you to use strong passwords and monitor your accounts.
