Privacy Policy

Introduction

At Michael By Michael Shannon® Shoes, Boots, Sandals (“Michael Shannon,” “we,” “us,” or “our“), we respect the privacy of our users (“you” or “your“). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information that pertains to your privacy when you visit our website or mobile application (collectively, “Site“), and your rights related to that information.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By visiting and using our Site, you agree that your use of our Site, and any dispute over our online privacy practices, is governed by this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. Because the Web is an evolving medium, we may need to change our Privacy Policy at some point in the future, in which case we’ll post the changes to this Privacy Policy on this website and update the Effective Date of the policy to reflect the date of the changes. By continuing to use the Site after we post any such changes, you accept the Privacy Policy as modified.

How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with our services and as described in our Privacy Policy. We will then either delete or anonymize your information or, if this is not possible (for example, because the information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further use until deletion is possible.

How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures. We have implemented appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use your information. Unfortunately, the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us.

Your Choices About Your Information

You have several choices available when it comes to information about you:

Limit the Information You Provide: You can choose not to provide certain information, but that may result in you being unable to use certain features of our Site because such information may be required in order for you to register as a member; purchase products or services; participate in a contest, promotion, survey, or sweepstakes; ask a question; or initiate other transactions on our Site.
Opt-Out of Electronic Communications: You may opt out of receiving promotional messages from us. Just follow the instructions in those messages. If you opt out of promotional messages, we may still send you other messages, like those about your account and legal notices.
Set Your Browser to Reject Cookies: At this time, Michael Shannon does not respond to “do not track” signals across all of our Site. However, you can set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies before using Michael Shannon’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Michael Shannon’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Close Your Account: While we’d be very sad to see you go, you can close your account if you no longer want to use our Site. Please keep in mind that we may continue to retain your information after closing your account, as described in How Long Do We Keep Your Information above.
Review Information Collected About You: If you have registered for an account with us, you can review and update certain information about you from within your account settings.
