Privacy Policy

Welcome to Gryffindor Bros Store (“we”, “us”, or “our”)! We’re committed to protecting your privacy with spells stronger than the Fidelius Charm. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our magical emporium at warnerbosstore.com.

1. Information We Collect

Like a Marauder’s Map tracking footsteps in Hogwarts, we collect certain information to make your shopping experience magical:

  • Personal Identification: Name, email address, shipping address (essential for owl delivery)
  • Payment Details: Encrypted payment information (though we don’t store full card details)
  • Order History: Your purchases of trunks, jerseys, and magical apparel
  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information
  • Usage Data: How you navigate our store (which house colors attract you most)
  • Communication Records: Any owls (emails) you send us

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data more responsibly than Fred and George used their Extendable Ears:

  • To process orders and deliver your magical merchandise worldwide
  • To respond to customer inquiries faster than a Golden Snitch
  • To improve our products and services (no cursed items, we promise)
  • To prevent fraud (we’re more vigilant than Mad-Eye Moody)
  • To send promotional offers (only if you’ve subscribed to our Owl Post)
  • To comply with magical and Muggle laws

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We keep your secrets better than the Hogwarts founders kept the Chamber of Secrets:

  • Service Providers: Trusted third parties who help with shipping, payments, and website operations (all sworn to secrecy)
  • Legal Requirements: Only when required by the Ministry (or Muggle authorities)
  • Business Transfers: If ownership changes (though we’d never sell to Slytherins)
  • With Your Consent: We’ll never share without your permission (no Imperius Curse here)

4. International Data Transfers

Our magical network spans beyond the UK (except Azkaban and certain remote areas). Your data may travel internationally, but we ensure it’s protected with stronger wards than Hogwarts.

5. Data Security

We protect your information with:

  • Advanced Encryption Spells (SSL technology)
  • Regular security audits by Ministry-certified wizards
  • Limited access to your data (only to authorized personnel)

While we’re more secure than Gringotts, no system is 100% foolproof (not even against Death Eaters).

6. Your Magical Rights

Under GDPR and other privacy laws, you can:

  • Access your personal data (like checking your Pensieve)
  • Correct inaccurate information (we won’t use Memory Charms)
  • Request deletion of your data (except where legally required)
  • Object to processing (say “Mischief Managed” to marketing)
  • Withdraw consent (no Unbreakable Vows here)
  • Lodge complaints with authorities

Contact us at [email protected] to exercise these rights.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use magical (but harmless) cookies to:

  • Remember your house preferences
  • Analyze website traffic (like the Trace Charm for visitors)
  • Improve your shopping experience
  • Show relevant ads (only for approved magical products)

You can manage cookies in your browser settings (though some features might not work without them).

8. Children’s Privacy

Our store is intended for witches and wizards aged 13+. We don’t knowingly collect data from younger magical beings without parental consent.

9. Policy Changes

We may update this policy as laws change (more frequently than the staircases at Hogwarts). Check back periodically for updates.
