Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 06, 2026  |  Brand Name: parrocchiecordenons  |  Operated by: Cogent LLC

At parrocchiecordenons, we respect your privacy as much as we love a good book. We are an independent bookstore based in San Francisco, and we believe in being open and honest about what happens to your data when you visit our website.

Since our store runs on WordPress and WooCommerce, we want to explain exactly what information we collect, why we need it, and how we keep it safe.

Definitions

In this Privacy Policy, when we say “we”, “us”, and “our”, we are referring to parrocchiecordenons (operated by Cogent LLC). When we talk about “you”, we mean you—the visitor or customer using our website.

1. Information We Collect

When you browse our shelves or place an order, we collect two types of information:

Information You Provide to Us

When you buy a book, we ask for specific details to fulfill your order. This includes:

• Identity Data: Your name.
• Contact Data: Your email address and phone number (so we can send order updates).
• Delivery Data: Your shipping address (so FedEx can find your house).
• Billing Data: Your billing address (to verify your payment method).

Information We Collect Automatically

Like almost every website on the internet, when you visit parrocchiecordenons, our system automatically collects certain technical data about your device.

• Device Info: Your web browser type, time zone, and IP address.
• Usage Data: Which books you viewed and how you interact with our site. We use this to help our website load faster and to detect potential fraud.

2. How We Use Your Information

We don’t collect data just for fun. We use your personal information for three specific reasons:

• To Fulfil Your Order: We need your address to ship your books and your email to send the receipt and tracking number.
• To Prevent Fraud: We review orders for potential risk (like checking if the billing address matches the IP address) to protect both you and our business.
• To Communicate: We may email you to answer your questions or let you know if a shipment is delayed.

3. Payment Information

We take security seriously. We do not store your credit card numbers on our servers.

• All transactions are processed securely by our trusted payment partners: Stripe and PayPal.
• When you pay, your financial details are encrypted and sent directly to them. We only receive a confirmation that the payment was successful.

4. Sharing Your Information

We are a bookstore, not a data broker. We do not sell your personal information to third parties for money.

However, to run our business, we must share strictly necessary data with a few trusted service providers:

• WordPress & WooCommerce: The platform that powers our online store.
• FedEx: We must share your name and address with them to deliver your package.
• Google Analytics: We use this tool to understand general trends (like which book categories are most popular). You can opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

5. Cookies

Since we use WordPress, our website uses small data files called “cookies” to make your shopping experience work.

• Essential Cookies: These remember what items are in your shopping cart while you browse different pages. Without them, you wouldn’t be able to check out.
• Preference Cookies: These remember your choices to make your next visit smoother.

By using our website, you agree to the use of these essential cookies.

6. Your Rights (CCPA & California Residents)

Since we are based in San Francisco, CA, we fully comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

• Right to Access: You can ask us what personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Delete: You can ask us to delete your personal data from our records.
• Right to Opt-Out: You have the right to tell us not to share your data for advertising purposes.

To exercise any of these rights, simply email us at [email protected]. For more details on opting out, please visit our Do Not Sell My Personal Information page linked in the footer.

7. Data Retention

We keep your order information for our records (mainly for tax, accounting, and legal purposes) unless and until you ask us to delete this information.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The date at the top of this page will tell you when it was last updated.
