1. Welcome to The Golf Cart Shop

At Ingenious Carts LLC, doing business as The Golf Cart Shop (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we’re committed to protecting your privacy while delivering top-notch golf cart parts and upgrades through our online store at *thegolfcart.shop* (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your information when you visit our Site or buy from our WooCommerce store, hosted securely on Rocket.net. Questions? Hit us up at *sales@thegolfcart.shop*.

2. What We Collect

We grab two types of info to keep your shopping smooth and our Site sharp:

• Personal Info (stuff that IDs you):
  • Name
  • Billing & Shipping Addresses
  • Email Address (e.g., for order confirmations)
  • Phone Number
  • Payment Details (processed securely by our payment gateway—we don’t store full credit card numbers)
• Non-Personal Info (general data, no ID tied):
  • IP Address
  • Device Details (e.g., phone type, OS)
  • Browsing Activity (pages you hit, parts you browse)
  • Rough Location (city-level, not your doorstep)

3. How We Use It

Your info powers our operation—here’s what we do with it:

• Orders & Delivery: Process your purchases, handle payments, ship parts (e.g., that $150 LED kit).
• Support: Answer your questions or fix issues via *support@thegolfcart.shop*.
• Marketing (opt-in only): Send promos about new upgrades—unsubscribe anytime with one click.
• Personalization: Suggest parts based on your browsing (e.g., lift kits if you linger there).
• Improvement: Analyze trends (anonymized) to tweak the Site—faster load times, better layout.
• Legal Stuff: Meet tax laws or enforce our Terms of Service.

4. Who We Share With

We don’t sell your data—period. We share only what’s needed with trusted partners who assist us in running The Golf Cart Shop. They’re locked into contracts to keep it confidential and secure, used only for our purposes. We may share with:

• Payment Processors: Securely handle your card transactions (e.g., Stripe, PayPal).
• Shipping Partners: Get your parts delivered (e.g., USPS, UPS).
• Analytics Tools: Google Analytics (GA4) helps us track Site use—data’s anonymized unless you consent to more (see below).

5. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies and Google Analytics (GA4) to make your experience better. Cookies are small files on your device—track browsing, save cart items. Google Signals, with your consent via our cookie banner, taps logged-in Google users’ data—age, gender, interests (e.g., golf buffs)—for ads and insights. No consent? We stick to anonymized basics. Manage cookies via browser settings or our popup—disabling might limit features.

6. Data Security

Your info lives on Rocket.net’s servers—locked down with encryption, access controls, and audits. Cloudflare proxies traffic for extra protection. No system’s 100% hack-proof, but we’re on it—your trust’s our priority.

7. Your Choices

You’re in control—here’s how:

• Update Info: Edit your account at *thegolfcart.shop/my-account/* anytime.
• Marketing Opt-Out: Click “unsubscribe” in promo emails—or email *info@thegolfcart.shop*.
• Delete Data: Ask us to wipe your info at *sales@thegolfcart.shop* (we keep some for tax/audit rules).

8. Kids’ Privacy

The Golf Cart Shop isn’t for kids under 13—we don’t collect their data knowingly. Parents, if your kid slips through, ping us at *support@thegolfcart.shop*—we’ll delete it fast.

9. California Privacy (CCPA)

For Californians: We don’t sell your data. Opt out of tracking via our cookie banner or email *sales@thegolfcart.shop* with “CCPA Request.” See your rights at *thegolfcart.shop/ccpa-rights/* (linked in footer).
