1. Who We Are
Buy Americas® is an online marketplace operated by Western Hemisphere Verified LLC, offering products genuinely made within the Western Hemisphere. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit or shop at buyamericas.com. Contact us at (303) 319-6459 or info@westernhemisphereverified.com.
2. Information We Collect
Information you provide: name, billing and shipping address, email, phone, order details, and account login credentials when you create an account, place an order, or contact us.
Automatically collected: IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, referring URLs, WooCommerce session and cart data, and order history.
From third parties: payment confirmation from our payment processor (we do not store full card numbers).
3. How We Use Your Information
To process and fulfill orders; create and manage your account; communicate about orders, shipping, and support; send marketing emails with your consent (you may opt out at any time); prevent fraud; improve our site; and comply with legal obligations.
4. Orders, Shipping & Sellers
Products are supplied by sellers certified through Western Hemisphere Verified®. To fulfill an order, we may share your shipping details with the relevant seller or fulfillment partner solely to deliver your purchase.
5. Payment Information
Payments are processed through our WooCommerce store using industry-standard, PCI-compliant payment processors. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers. Payment processors maintain their own privacy policies. We retain transaction records (amounts, dates, payment method types) for accounting and tax purposes.
6. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with service providers (hosting, payments, shipping), with sellers and fulfillment partners as needed to complete your order, when required by law, and in connection with a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition.
7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use essential cookies (cart, checkout, security), analytics cookies, and preference cookies. You can control cookies through your browser; disabling some may affect checkout. We respect browser-level Do Not Track signals where technically feasible.
8. Data Retention
Order and account records are retained as needed for the customer relationship and for a reasonable period afterward. Payment records are retained a minimum of 7 years for tax and accounting compliance. Website analytics data is retained in aggregate form.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing or withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, email info@westernhemisphereverified.com; we respond within 30 days. California residents (CCPA) and EEA/UK residents (GDPR/UK GDPR) may have additional rights.
10. Data Security
We use HTTPS/TLS encryption, access controls, secure storage, and PCI-compliant payment processing. No system is perfectly secure; in the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
11. Children's Privacy
Our store is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 where required by applicable law). If you believe we have collected such information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
12. International Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States and other Western Hemisphere jurisdictions, with appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above and, for material changes, provide additional notice. Your continued use of our site after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
