PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: May 2026

At Worldwide 1991 ("we", "us", or "our"), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit or make a purchase from worldwide1991.com (the "Site").
By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. For the purposes of applicable global data protection laws, Worldwide 1991 is the data controller of your personal information.
1. Information We Collect
We collect personal information directly from you, automatically through your device, and from third parties.
  • Information Provided Directly by You: Name, email address, shipping address, billing address, phone number, username, order history, and customer support inquiries.
  • Payment Data: Payment card details or account credentials. Note: All payments are processed securely via PCI-compliant third-party processors (e.g., Shopify Payments). We do not store or have access to your full credit card numbers.
  • Information Collected Automatically (Cookies & Tracking): IP address, browser type, operating system, unique device identifiers, time zones, and behavioral details about how you interact with our Site (pages viewed, links clicked, items added to cart).
2. Legal Bases for Processing (Global Compliance)
We process your personal data under strict legal frameworks required by international jurisdictions (including the USA, EEA, UK, South Africa’s POPIA, and various Asian data frameworks like Singapore's PDPA and Japan's APPI):
  • Performance of a Contract: Necessary to process and fulfill your orders, ship your products from Israel, and manage your user account.
  • Your Explicit Consent: Required for marketing communications, newsletters, and certain non-essential tracking cookies.
  • Legitimate Interests / Lawful Purpose: Used to protect our business from fraud, optimize Site functionality, and provide effective customer support.
3. How We Use Your Personal Information
We use your personal information to provide you with our products and services, including:
  • Fulfilling orders, processing payments, and arranging for shipping.
  • Sending order confirmations, tracking links, and administrative updates.
  • Communicating with you regarding inquiries, complaints, or support requests.
  • Showing or sending personalized marketing messages, newsletters, or behavioral advertisements (where consented to).
  • Screening orders for potential risk or fraud to protect our platform.
4. Sharing and Disclosing Your Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share your data with trusted service providers to help us run our business:
  • Shopify: Our e-commerce platform host. You can read how Shopify uses your Personal Information here: Shopify Privacy Policy.
  • Fulfillment & Shipping Partners: Local and international carriers (e.g., Israel Post, DHL, FedEx) to deliver your physical goods.
  • Marketing & Analytics Tools: Providers like Google Analytics and Meta (Facebook) Pixels to evaluate site traffic and run relevant ads.
  • Legal Compliance: We may disclose your data to comply with applicable laws, respond to legal subpoenas, or protect our rights and property.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our Site uses cookies, pixels, and web beacons to enhance your browsing experience, remember your cart items, and provide analytical insights. You can modify your browser settings to refuse or delete cookies. However, blocking essential cookies may prevent you from completing a purchase or accessing specific features on our Site.
6. International Data Transfers
Because Worldwide 1991 is operated from Israel and utilizes global infrastructure like Shopify (based in Canada/USA), your personal information will be transferred, stored, and processed outside of your home country. By purchasing from us, you consent to these cross-border data transfers.
7. Your Rights and Choices (Worldwide)
Depending on your geographic location (e.g., USA, UK, EEA, Canada, South Africa, Singapore, Japan, and other global regions), you have recognized legal rights regarding your personal information. These include:
  • Right of Access & Portability: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
  • Right to Rectification: Request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
  • Right to Erasure / Deletion: Request that we permanently delete your personal information from our databases.
  • Right to Object or Restrict Processing: Limit how we use your data, including the right to opt-out of direct marketing or behavioral advertising.
  • Right to Lodge a Complaint: You have the right to contact your country's national data privacy authority (such as the Information Regulator in South Africa, or the PDPC in Singapore) if you believe we are mishandling your data.
To exercise any of these global rights, please email us at info@worldwide1991.com. We respond to all verified international requests within the legally mandated timeframes.
8. Data Retention & Security
  • Retention: We retain your personal information (such as order history) for our records only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, comply with tax and legal requirements, or resolve outstanding disputes.
  • Security: We implement industry-standard physical, technical, and administrative security measures (such as Secure Sockets Layer - SSL encryption) to guard your data. While we work diligently to safeguard your information, no transmission over the internet can be guaranteed 100% secure.
