This Privacy Policy describes how Sweet Sting LLC. (“Sweet Sting,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares personal information when you visit sweetsting.xyz (the “Site”), make a purchase, create an account, subscribe to our emails, or otherwise interact with us in the United States.
By using the Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
1) What We Collect (Notice at Collection)
We collect the categories of information below. Some of this is provided by you, some is created automatically, and some may come from third parties (e.g., payment processors, analytics and advertising partners).
-
Identifiers: name, email address, phone number, billing & shipping address, IP address, device identifiers.
-
Commercial information: products viewed, cart activity, orders, returns, purchase history.

Payment information: payment method details (processed by our payment partners—we don’t store full card numbers).

Internet/technical data: device/browser type, pages viewed, time on page, referral URLs, general location inferred from IP, cookies and similar technologies.
-
User content & communications: product reviews, survey responses, messages to support.
-
Marketing preferences: opt-in/opt-out choices for email or SMS (if offered).
Why we collect it: to operate the Site, process orders, prevent fraud, fulfill and deliver purchases, provide customer support, personalize your experience, run analytics and improve the Site, and market our products (including interest-based/“targeted” advertising where permitted).
Retention: We keep personal information for as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law (for example, tax and accounting rules). When no longer needed, we take steps to delete or de-identify it.
2) How We Use Personal Information
We use your information to:
-
Operate the Site & services (including order processing, shipping, returns, and account features).

Communicate with you (order confirmations, shipping updates, customer support, and—with your consent—marketing).
-
Personalize & improve (content, product recommendations, and UX).
-
Security & fraud prevention (account protection, abuse monitoring).
-
Compliance (legal, tax, auditing).

3) Cookies & Similar Technologies
We and our partners use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember cart items, analyze traffic, and show relevant ads. You can control cookies in your browser settings and through our [Cookie Preferences link/button]. Blocking cookies may affect Site functionality.

-
Analytics & advertising partners that provide audience measurement and interest-based advertising. Where required, we treat certain disclosures for targeted advertising as a “sale” or “share” of personal information and offer opt-out rights (see §8).
-
Business transfers (e.g., merger, acquisition).
-
Legal & safety (to comply with law, enforce our Terms, or protect rights, property, and safety).
