Privacy policy

 

November 4, 2026

This website is operated by Get Paros SRL, RNC 1-33-45009-7, of Calle C, Santiago de los Caballeros 51000, Dominican Republic ("we," "us"), which is the data controller of your personal information. The store operates under the trade name paros. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why, who receives it, and the rights you hold over it. It covers Dominican Law No. 172-13 on the Protection of Personal Data, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR, and US state privacy laws, including California's.

1.1 What we collect

  • Order information: name, billing and shipping address, email address, phone number, and the items you purchase.
  • Payment information: processed by our payment provider, Azul. We never see, store, or have access to your full card number. See the Security Policy within our Legal Notice.
  • Account information: if you create an account: email, name, order history, saved addresses, and the pieces you save to your wishlist.
  • Communications: emails and messages you send us, so we can answer and keep a record of the resolution.
  • Applications: if you apply as an ambassador or a brand, the details you send (name, email, WhatsApp number, city and country, social media handles, links, any file you attach and what you tell us), used to review the application and, if we work together, to set up the partnership.
  • Posts that tag us: if you tag @shopparos for store credit, the post's link, or a screenshot of the Story, your handle, the order number you send us and your permission to use and post the content, kept with your account so we can issue the credit.
  • Marketing preferences: your email address, if you subscribe to our newsletter, and your consent record.
  • Back-in-stock alerts: your email address, if you ask to hear when a size returns.
  • Device and usage information: collected automatically through cookies by our e-commerce platform (Shopify) and the services named in 1.3: IP address, approximate location, browser type, pages viewed, and referring pages. Used for the site to function, for fraud prevention, for analytics and, with your consent where the law requires it, for advertising.

We do not collect more than we need, we never buy personal data from third parties, and we do not ask for sensitive personal information.

1.2 Why we collect it (legal bases)

  • To fulfill your order: contract performance. Processing payment, shipping, sending order and delivery notifications, and answering order questions.
  • To review an application and run a partnership: steps you ask us to take before a contract, and our legitimate interest in choosing who we work with.
  • To issue store credit for a post: contract performance.
  • To send a back-in-stock alert you ask for: your consent, given when you ask for it.
  • To meet legal obligations: tax, accounting, and consumer-protection law in the Dominican Republic and in the countries we ship to.
  • To prevent fraud, secure the site and defend legal claims: legitimate interest.
  • To send marketing email and to measure and show advertising: your consent. Every marketing email contains a working unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing takes effect immediately.

We don't make decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects by automated means alone.

1.3 Who we share it with

We share personal information only with the services that make the store work, and only what each needs:

  • Shopify: our e-commerce platform, which hosts the store and processes orders; Shopify Messaging sends our newsletter and its automated emails, with your consent; Shopify Forms holds ambassador and brand applications. Shopify processes your information when you visit and buy, including to provide services based on your interactions with other Shopify stores and with Shopify itself; its Consumer Privacy Policy explains how. In the United Kingdom, the EEA and Switzerland, the Shopify privacy portal lets you withdraw consent or object.
  • Azul (Servicios Digitales Popular): our payment processor, which handles card payments under its own security and privacy obligations.
  • UPS, MCC Cargo and other verified carriers: name, address, phone, and parcel contents as required for customs and delivery. MCC Cargo receives US standard orders at its Miami warehouse and ships them on.
  • The design houses: the name, address and pieces of your order, so the house that made them can pack it.
  • Google: Google Analytics, to measure how the site is used; Google Ads, Merchant Center and YouTube, to show and measure our advertising and listings, with an order's email address and phone number in hashed form; Google sign-in, if you choose it; and Google Workspace, which hosts our email. How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
  • Meta (Facebook and Instagram): browsing and purchase events on the site, with an order's email address and phone number in hashed form, to measure our advertising and show it to people who may like the houses' work. Meta's privacy policy.
  • Klaviyo: your email address and order history, for the newsletter and its automated emails, with your consent.
  • Hoppy Currency Converter and Hoppy Free Shipping: use your approximate location to show prices in your currency, and show how close your cart is to free shipping.
  • Wishlist by Square: keeps the pieces you save.
  • Back in Stock Alert & Preorder: your email address, for the one alert you ask for.

We do not sell personal information for money. We share the browsing and purchase events above with Meta and Google for advertising, which some laws call "selling" or "sharing"; you can refuse this through the cookie banner, the Your privacy choices page, or by writing to us. We honor the Global Privacy Control signal as a request to opt out. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16. We disclose personal information to authorities only where the law requires, and we may transfer it as part of a merger or sale of the business, under this policy.

1.4 International transfers

We operate from the Dominican Republic and use service providers that process data in other countries, including the United States. Where we transfer personal data of residents of the EU/EEA, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we rely on our processors' recognized transfer mechanisms (including standard contractual clauses in their data-processing agreements).

1.5 How long we keep it

Order and invoice records are kept as long as tax and commercial law require. Account data is kept while your account is active. Marketing data is kept until you unsubscribe. Applications are kept while we review them and, if we work together, for the length of the partnership. Communications are kept as long as needed to resolve and document the matter.

1.6 Security

We protect your personal information with reasonable technical and organizational measures. No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your information, we will notify you and the authorities where the law requires it.

1.7 Your rights

Wherever you live, you may write to contact@shopparos.com to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you, and learn what we collect and who receives it;
  • Correct inaccurate data;
  • Delete your data, where no legal obligation requires us to keep it;
  • Object to or restrict processing based on legitimate interest;
  • Receive a copy of data you provided, in a portable format;
  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of your information and of targeted advertising, through the cookie banner, "Your privacy choices" or by writing to us;
  • Withdraw consent to marketing or advertising at any time, by unsubscribe link, through the cookie banner or "Your privacy choices", or by writing to us.

We answer within 30 days, and may need to verify your identity first. You may act through an authorized agent. Using these rights never changes the price or service you get. If we decline a request, you can appeal by replying to our answer.

You can also complain to your data-protection authority: in the EU/EEA, your local authority; in the United Kingdom, the Information Commissioner's Office; in Switzerland, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner. Dominican residents hold the rights established by Law No. 172-13. If you live elsewhere, including Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, Japan or South Korea, you hold the rights your local law gives you, and we will honor them.

1.8 Cookies

The site uses cookies set by Shopify and by the services named in 1.3: strictly necessary cookies (cart, checkout, session, fraud prevention), analytics cookies, and advertising cookies from Meta and Google. Where the law of your country requires consent for non-essential cookies, the site asks first, and declining does not affect your ability to shop.

1.9 Minors

The store is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18, including children under 13. If you believe a minor has provided us data, write to us and we will delete it.

1.10 Other sites

This policy covers this site. Sites we link to, and the social networks where you post, have their own policies.

1.11 Changes

We will post any material change to this policy on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance, except where the law requires fresh consent.
