Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [Insert Date]

At Little Dutch Shop (“we”, “us”, or “our”), we care deeply about protecting your family’s privacy just as we care about creating beautiful, safe products for your little ones. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit littledutchkids.com (the “Site”).

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide thoughtful service for your family’s needs:

• Personal Information: When you make a purchase, we collect your name, email address, shipping address, payment information, and phone number to process your order of baby bedding, nursery furniture, or developmental toys.
• Browsing Information: We automatically collect data about your device and how you interact with our Site, including IP address, browser type, and pages viewed, particularly when browsing our Age Guides or product collections.
• Communication Data: When you contact our Houston-based customer care team, we keep records of those communications to provide the best service for your baby registry or product inquiries.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information with the same care we put into designing our organic baby products:

• To process and ship your orders of baby duvet sets, bath toys, or nursery essentials worldwide (excluding some Asian and remote regions)
• To communicate about your order status, just as we carefully track each item from our Houston studio to your home
• To improve our Site and product offerings, ensuring we meet the needs of parents shopping for 3 Years, 4 Years, or 5 Years collections
• To provide personalized recommendations for baby gyms, bedding, or developmental toys that match your family’s needs
• To prevent fraud and enhance security, protecting your transactions as carefully as our baby changing mats protect your little ones

3. Sharing of Information

We treat your data with the same discretion we apply to our product designs:

• Service Providers: We share necessary information with trusted partners who help us operate our Site, process payments (Visa, MasterCard, JCB, PayPal), and ship products worldwide.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, just as we comply with all safety standards for our baby products.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, customer information may be transferred, with notice provided as required by law.

We never sell your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Data Storage and Security

We protect your information with the same dedication we bring to crafting safe baby essentials:

• All transactions are encrypted using SSL technology, whether you’re purchasing delicate baby towels or wooden educational toys
• Payment details are processed through PCI-compliant services with fraud protection
• We retain personal data only as long as necessary to provide our services and as required by law
• While we implement strong security measures, no internet transmission is 100% secure, so we encourage using secure networks when shopping

5. Your Rights and Choices

You have control over your information, just as you have choices in our thoughtfully curated collections:

• Access & Correction: You may review and update your account information at any time
• Marketing Communications: You can opt-out of promotional emails while still receiving essential order updates
• Data Deletion: You may request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention requirements
• Cookie Preferences: Manage cookie settings through your browser, though some Site features may not function properly without them

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies with the same gentle approach we take with our baby products:

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for secure checkout and proper Site functionality when purchasing baby bedding or nursery furniture
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how parents navigate our Age Guides and product categories to improve your experience
• Marketing Cookies: Allow us to show relevant content about our European-designed baby gyms or organic cotton collections

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

7. International Data Transfers

As we serve families worldwide (excluding some Asian and remote regions), your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States and other locations. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for these transfers.

8. Children’s Privacy

While we specialize in products for babies and children, our Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally, just as we thoughtfully update our product collections. The updated date will be posted at the top of this page.

Thank you for trusting Little Dutch Shop with your family’s needs. We’re committed to protecting your privacy as carefully as we design our products for beautiful beginnings.
