This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, place an order, contact us, or interact with our services — and how we use, store, share, and protect that information. By using our website, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
If you do not agree with this policy, please refrain from using our website or submitting personal information.

We will never sell your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and analyze site usage.
Types of cookies we use:
- Essential cookies — required for the website to function (e.g., shopping cart, login sessions, security tokens). These cannot be disabled.
- Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with our site (e.g., Google Analytics). These collect aggregated, anonymized data about page views, traffic sources, and user behavior.
- Functional cookies — remember your preferences (e.g., recently viewed products, currency settings) to provide a personalized experience.
- Marketing cookies — used to deliver relevant advertisements and measure campaign effectiveness. These may be set by third-party advertising partners.
Managing cookies: You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, blocking essential cookies may prevent the website from functioning properly (e.g., you won’t be able to add items to your cart or check out).
Do Not Track: Our website does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals, as there is no industry-wide standard for this feature.
Data Sharing & Disclosure
We share your information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers — trusted third parties that help us operate our business, including payment processors (Stripe), shipping carriers (UPS, FedEx), email service providers, analytics platforms (Google Analytics), customer support tools, and hosting providers. These providers access your data only to perform services on our behalf and are contractually bound to protect it.
- Financing partners — if you apply for financing, your application data is shared directly with our lending partners (e.g., Affirm) under their own privacy policies.
- Manufacturers & warranty providers — when you submit a warranty claim, we may share order and product information with the relevant manufacturer to facilitate the claim.
- Legal requirements — we may disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or government regulation, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Solid Brands LLC, our customers, or the public.
- Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you of any such change.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

- Account information — retained for as long as your account remains active. You may request account deletion at any time (see Section 07).
- Contact form submissions — retained for up to 2 years unless an ongoing business relationship requires longer retention.
- Marketing data — retained until you unsubscribe. Upon unsubscribing, your email is moved to a suppression list to ensure we do not contact you again.
