Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [Insert Date]

At BlueFin Sales Shop (“we”, “us”, or “our”), we understand that your privacy is as important as the perfect fit of your diving gear. Just as we meticulously design our equipment for your underwater adventures, we approach your personal data with the same care and precision. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website bluefingeargb.com.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that helps us provide you with seamless service, much like our perfectly engineered fin pockets enhance your diving experience:

• Personal Identification Information: Name, email address, shipping address, phone number when you create an account or place an order.
• Payment Information: Credit/debit card details (processed securely via PCI-DSS compliant systems), PayPal email (when using PayPal).

• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing behavior on our site.
• Communication Data: Correspondence when you contact our customer service at [email protected].

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data with the same precision we apply to crafting our full-face masks:

• To process and fulfill your orders for diving equipment
• To provide customer support and respond to inquiries
• To improve our website and product offerings
• To prevent fraud and enhance security (like our 256-bit SSL encryption protects your transactions)
• To send you relevant offers and updates (only with your consent)
• To comply with legal obligations

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We treat your data with the same confidentiality we apply to our professional diving equipment designs:

• We are PCI-DSS compliant for payment processing
• We implement tokenization for stored payment methods
• Regular security audits and real-time fraud monitoring
• Data is stored on secure servers with limited access

While we implement robust security measures, no internet transmission is 100% secure. We recommend using strong passwords and protecting your login details.
