At Sports Shoe Store (“we”, “us”, or “our”), we understand that runners value their privacy as much as they value their perfect pair of shoes. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website ussportsshoeshop.com.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that helps us provide you with the best running shoe shopping experience:

  • Usage Data: Information about how you interact with our website, including pages visited and products viewed.
  • Communication Data: Records of any correspondence when you contact our customer service.

2. How We Use Your Information

Like a well-designed running shoe supports your stride, we use your information to support your shopping experience:

  • Process and fulfill your orders for running shoes and gear
  • Provide customer support and respond to your inquiries
  • Improve our website and product offerings for runners worldwide

  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, customer information may be transferred as part of the business assets.

We never sell your personal information to third-party marketers.

4. Data Storage and Security

We protect your information with the same dedication runners protect their personal bests:

  • All data is stored on secure servers with industry-standard protections
  • Payment transactions are encrypted using 256-bit SSL technology
  • We implement access controls and regularly monitor our systems
  • While we take reasonable precautions, no internet transmission is 100% secure

8. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
