Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 12, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected, used, stored, and shared when you visit or interact with My Shoes Finder, available at https://myshoesfinder.com/.

My Shoes Finder is an independent informational and affiliate website. We do not manufacture or sell footwear, process payments, ship orders, or operate the external retailer websites linked from our content.

1. Who Controls Your Information?

The operator of My Shoes Finder is responsible for personal information processed directly through this website. Questions, privacy requests, and requests concerning your personal information can be submitted through our Contact Us page.

2. Information You Provide

We may collect information that you provide voluntarily when you:

• submit a message through a contact form;
• subscribe to our email newsletter;
• leave a comment where commenting is enabled;
• request a correction or submit feedback;
• communicate with us about editorial or affiliate cooperation.

This information may include your name, email address, message content, subscription preferences, and any other details that you choose to provide.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information, payment details, medical records, passwords, or information that you are not authorized to provide.

3. Information Collected Automatically

When you access My Shoes Finder, the website and its technical service providers may automatically process limited technical information, including:

• your IP address;
• browser type and version;
• device and operating-system information;
• referring page or website;
• requested pages and access times;
• server logs and security-related events;
• cookie identifiers and similar technical identifiers where applicable.

This information may be used to deliver the website, maintain security, diagnose technical problems, prevent abuse, and understand whether website features operate correctly.

4. How We Use Information

Personal information may be processed for the following purposes:

• responding to questions, feedback, and correction requests;
• delivering newsletters requested by subscribers;
• managing comments where commenting is available;
• maintaining website security and preventing spam or misuse;
• administering affiliate links and measuring qualifying referrals;
• complying with legal obligations and protecting legal rights;
• maintaining and improving website functionality.

Depending on your location and the circumstances, processing may be based on your consent, our legitimate interest in operating and securing the website, the need to respond to your request, or compliance with a legal obligation.

5. Contact Forms

Contact forms on My Shoes Finder are provided through website functionality that may include Elementor. When you submit a form, we may process your name, email address, message, IP address, submission time, and related technical information.

Form submissions may be stored in the website database, delivered to the website operator by email, or processed by hosting and email-service providers. We use this information to respond to the enquiry, maintain appropriate records, and prevent spam or abuse.

6. Email Newsletter and MailPoet

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we process your email address, subscription status, consent record, and related technical information required to manage the subscription. Our newsletter functionality is provided through MailPoet, an Automattic service.

MailPoet or its email-delivery infrastructure may process information required to send messages, maintain subscriber lists, record successful delivery, manage unsubscribes, protect its systems from abuse, and measure newsletter interactions where this functionality is enabled.

You can withdraw your consent and unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in an email. Unsubscribing will stop marketing messages, although a limited suppression record may be retained to ensure that your email address is not added again unintentionally.

For more information about MailPoet and Automattic’s practices, review the Automattic Privacy Policy.

7. Comments and Gravatar

Where comments are enabled, WordPress may collect the information displayed in the comment form together with the commenter’s IP address and browser user-agent information. This information may be used for moderation, security, and spam detection.

An anonymized value created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use that service. If a comment is approved, a profile image associated with Gravatar may appear publicly next to the comment. Gravatar is operated by Automattic and is subject to its own privacy practices.

Comments and their associated metadata may remain stored while the comment is published or as long as reasonably necessary for moderation, security, recordkeeping, or legal purposes.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies

My Shoes Finder and third-party services may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies. These technologies may support:

• essential website operation and security;
• remembering website or comment-form preferences;
• newsletter subscription functionality;
• spam prevention and form security;
• embedded third-party content;
• affiliate referral measurement.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. Other cookies or tracking technologies may require your consent, depending on your location and their purpose.

You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent some website features from working correctly. You may also use any cookie preference controls made available on the website.

9. Affiliate Links and Rakuten Advertising

My Shoes Finder participates in affiliate marketing programs. Some product links may be administered through Rakuten Advertising, formerly known as LinkShare, or another affiliate provider.

Affiliate networks may use cookies, pixels, click identifiers, IP addresses, browser information, referral URLs, timestamps, and transaction-related identifiers to determine whether a visit or purchase qualifies for a commission. My Shoes Finder does not receive your payment-card information from the retailer.

Rakuten Advertising explains its use of tracking technologies in its Cookie and Tracking Technology Policy. Privacy options concerning Rakuten identifiers are available through the Rakuten Advertising privacy request form.

More information about our commercial relationships is available in our Affiliate Disclosure.

10. External Retailers

Clicking a product or affiliate link may take you to an external website, such as xeroshoes.com or another retailer. The external website may independently collect information, set cookies, process payments, and maintain customer accounts.

My Shoes Finder does not control how external retailers process personal information. Before making a purchase or providing personal information, review the privacy policy and cookie settings available on the retailer’s website.

11. Embedded Content and External Resources

Articles may include externally hosted images, videos, fonts, maps, social-media elements, or other embedded resources. Loading or interacting with such content may allow the external provider to receive technical information such as your IP address, browser information, referring page, and cookie identifiers.

Embedded content generally behaves as though you visited the provider’s website directly. Its processing is governed by the privacy policy of the relevant provider.

12. Who May Receive Information?

Personal information may be processed by service providers that support website operation, including:

• website hosting and server-security providers;
• email and contact-form delivery providers;
• MailPoet and related newsletter-delivery services;
• spam-prevention and website-security services;
• Rakuten Advertising and other affiliate networks;
• professional advisers or public authorities where legally required.

These providers may process information only as required to provide their services, meet legal requirements, maintain security, or perform the purposes described in their respective privacy notices and agreements.

We do not directly sell contact-form messages or newsletter subscriber lists for monetary payment.

13. International Data Transfers

Some service providers, affiliate networks, retailers, or technical systems may operate in countries other than the country in which you live. As a result, information may be processed internationally and may be subject to different privacy laws.

Where required, appropriate contractual, organizational, or legal safeguards should be used for international transfers.

14. How Long We Retain Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including:

• contact correspondence while an enquiry is being handled and for an appropriate recordkeeping period afterward;
• newsletter information until you unsubscribe or the service is discontinued;
• comments and associated metadata while they remain published or are needed for moderation;
• technical and security logs for the period required to protect and maintain the website;
• records that must be retained to meet legal, accounting, security, or dispute-resolution obligations.

Information may also remain temporarily in routine website backups until those backups are replaced or securely deleted.

15. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

• request confirmation that we process your personal information;
• request access to or a copy of your information;
• request correction of inaccurate information;
• request deletion of information;
• request restriction of or object to certain processing;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• request data portability where applicable;
• opt out of certain uses of cookies or digital identifiers;
• submit a complaint to an applicable data-protection authority.

These rights may be subject to legal exceptions. To submit a request concerning information processed directly by My Shoes Finder, use our Contact Us page. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

Requests concerning information independently processed by an external retailer, MailPoet, Gravatar, or an affiliate network should also be directed to the relevant provider.

16. Children’s Privacy

My Shoes Finder is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly request personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided personal information through this website, please contact us so that the situation can be reviewed.

17. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website practices, service providers, or applicable requirements change. The current version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
