Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 28, 2026

GSDlover ("GSDlover," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website GSDlover.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit the Site, make a purchase, create an account, sign up for our emails or texts, or otherwise interact with us, and how we use, share, and protect that information. It also explains the choices and rights you have.

By using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Site. This Privacy Policy is part of our Terms of Service.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Information you give us

Contact and order details: your name, email address, phone number, billing address, and shipping address.
Payment information: payments are processed by Shopify and its payment partners (such as Shopify Payments, PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay). We do not see or store your full card number.
Account information: your login email, password, order history, and saved addresses if you create an account.
Custom order content: any text, names, images, or other content you submit for personalized products.
Reviews and submissions: product reviews, photos, videos, and any feedback you send us.
Marketing sign-ups: your email address and/or mobile number if you subscribe to our emails or text messages.
Customer support: the content of emails and messages you send us, such as return or replacement requests and photos of your order.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, we and our partners automatically collect certain information about your device and your activity, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location (based on IP address), pages and products you view, how you arrived at the Site, items added to your cart, and purchases. We collect this using cookies, pixels, and similar technologies, described in Section 4.

Information from third parties

We receive information from our service providers and partners, including order and shipping updates from our production partner Printful, payment and fraud-screening information from Shopify and our payment processors, and advertising and analytics information from partners such as Google, Meta, TikTok, and Pinterest.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use personal information to:

process, produce, ship, and deliver your orders, including sending your order details to Printful;
process payments, gift cards, and discount codes, and detect and prevent fraud;
create and manage your account;
provide customer service, including handling cancellations, replacements, refunds, and lost-package claims;
send order confirmations, shipping notifications, and other service messages;
send marketing emails and text messages if you have signed up to receive them;
display product reviews on the Site;
understand how visitors use the Site and improve our products, designs, and shopping experience;
show you ads for our products on other websites and social media platforms, and measure how well those ads perform;
keep the Site secure and enforce our Terms of Service; and
comply with our legal obligations, such as tax and accounting requirements.

3. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We share personal information only as described below:

Shopify: our store is hosted on Shopify, which stores and processes store data on our behalf. You can read Shopify's Privacy Policy.
Printful: we share your name, shipping address, email, phone number (if provided), order details, and any custom order content with Printful so it can print and ship your order. You can read Printful's Privacy Policy.
Payment processors: to process payments and refunds and prevent fraud.
Shipping carriers: to deliver your order and provide tracking.
Marketing providers: we use Shopify Email to send marketing emails, and service providers to send text messages and collect and display reviews.
Analytics and advertising partners: Google (including Google Analytics), Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok, and Pinterest receive information collected through cookies and pixels on the Site, as described in Section 4.
Legal and safety: when required by law, court order, or government request, or when we believe disclosure is needed to protect our rights, prevent fraud, or protect anyone's safety.
Business transfers: if GSDlover is sold, merged, or transfers its assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We do not sell your personal information for money. However, allowing advertising partners such as Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, and Google to collect information through pixels on our Site for targeted advertising may be considered "selling" or "sharing" personal information under some state laws, including California's. You can opt out as described in Section 5.

Text messaging opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties for their own marketing purposes.

4. COOKIES, PIXELS, AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Pixels and tags are small pieces of code that record activity on a web page. We and our partners use them to:

Make the Site work: for example, to remember your cart, keep you logged in, and complete checkout. These are necessary and cannot be turned off.
Analytics: we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. You can learn more in How Google uses information from sites that use its services, and you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising: we use the Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and Pinterest tag, along with Google advertising tools, to show you our ads on those platforms and measure their results. Each partner handles this information under its own privacy policy: Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, and Google.

When you first visit the Site, where required, you will see a cookie banner that lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some parts of the Site may not work properly if you do. You can manage interest-based ads through each platform's ad settings or through industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance and Your Online Choices (EU).

5. YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES

Opt out of targeted advertising and "sale" or "sharing": click the "Your privacy choices" link in the footer of our Site, or email us at contact@gsdlover.com.
Global Privacy Control: if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information for that browser.
Marketing emails: click the "unsubscribe" link in any marketing email. We may still send you order and service messages.
Text messages: reply STOP to any text message to unsubscribe, or HELP for help. Message and data rates may apply. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of purchase.
Cookies: use our cookie banner or your browser settings, as described in Section 4.
Your account: you can review and update your account information by logging in, or contact us to close your account.

6. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, "CCPA"), gives you the following rights:

How to exercise your rights

To submit a request to know, delete, or correct, email us at contact@gsdlover.com with the subject line "California Privacy Request." To opt out of sale or sharing, use the "Your privacy choices" link in our footer or email us. We will need to verify your identity before completing requests to know, delete, or correct, usually by matching information you provide with information we already have, such as your email address and a recent order number.

Shine the Light

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 allows California residents to request information about personal information we have disclosed to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. To make a request, email us at contact@gsdlover.com.

7. OTHER U.S. STATE PRIVACY RIGHTS

Depending on where you live, you may have similar rights under your state's privacy law, including the rights to access, correct, delete, and obtain a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of targeted advertising and the sale of personal information. To exercise these rights, email us at contact@gsdlover.com. If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision with the subject line "Privacy Request Appeal," and we will respond as required by your state's law.

8. INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS (EEA, UK, AND ELSEWHERE)

We are based in the United States, and we ship worldwide. If you are located outside the United States, your personal information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate, including countries where Printful produces and ships orders. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country. Where required, we and our service providers rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers, such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your personal information on the following legal bases: to perform our contract with you (processing and delivering your order), based on our legitimate interests (running and improving our store, preventing fraud, and keeping the Site secure), with your consent (marketing messages and non-essential cookies, which you can withdraw at any time), and to comply with legal obligations.

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, to restrict or object to our processing, and to withdraw your consent at any time. To exercise these rights, email us at contact@gsdlover.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

9. DATA RETENTION

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Order information is generally kept for as long as required for tax, accounting, and legal purposes. Account information is kept while your account is active. Marketing information is kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or de-identify it.

10. SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information, and our store runs on Shopify's secure platform, which encrypts payment information during transmission. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please keep your account password confidential and contact us if you believe your account has been compromised.

11. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The Site is intended for adults 18 years of age and older, as described in our Terms of Service. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at contact@gsdlover.com and we will delete it.

12. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

The Site may contain links to third-party websites and social media platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to them. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.

13. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or regulatory reasons. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If we make material changes, we may also notify you by email or by a notice on the Site.
