    Privacy Policy

    Protecting your privacy is very important to us. We have accordingly developed this Privacy Policy to help you understand how your personal information is collected, used and shared when you visit or make a purchase on our website  www.walshbrothersshoes.ie (the “Site”).

    PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

    When you visit our 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:

    1. “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies please see our Cookie Policy above.
    2. “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.
    3. “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

    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 visa / credit / voucher 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.

    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).

    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 Shopify to power our online store; you can read more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information here https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy.  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:  https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.  You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

    We may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

    Finally, we occasionally use remarketing and targeted advertising which collects visitor data on our site and then delivers targeted display ads to you on other sites. Our partners use technology such as cookies and web beacons to collect this data.
