Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 16, 2026

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how SHOESTOM ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you use the SHOESTOM app and website (the "Service"). We built SHOESTOM to be simple and privacy-friendly: your shoe designs stay with you.

2. Information We Collect

We aim to collect as little as possible:

  • Design data: The colors and parts you choose are stored locally on your device so you can pick up where you left off. We do not require an account to customize a shoe.
  • Contact information: If you email us or use the contact form, we receive the name, email address, and message you provide so we can respond.
  • Basic usage data: We may collect anonymous, aggregated information about how the Service is used to help us improve it.

3. How We Use Information

  • To provide and maintain the customizer and its features.
  • To respond to your questions, feedback, and support requests.
  • To understand and improve the Service.

4. Local Storage

SHOESTOM saves your in-progress designs and preferences on your own device using local storage. This data is not transmitted to us and can be cleared at any time by removing the app data or clearing your browser storage.

5. Third-Party Links and Services

The Service links to third-party sites such as Angelus Direct and YouTube for colors, tutorials, and shopping. When you follow those links, the third party's own privacy policy applies. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external sites.

6. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We only share information where necessary to operate the Service (for example, an email provider that delivers your message to us), or when required by law.

7. Children's Privacy

SHOESTOM is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.

8. Your Choices

You can use the customizer without an account. You may clear locally stored designs at any time, and you can contact us to request deletion of any message data you've sent us.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above. Please review this page periodically.
