Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Website and Technical Information

When you visit MobileShox, technical information may be collected automatically by our website, hosting environment, analytics services or security tools. This may include information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, referring pages, approximate location, timestamps and website interaction data.

Newsletter Information

If you subscribe to MobileShox updates, we collect the information you provide, including your first name, last name and email address. We also record information used to manage the subscription, such as your IP address, subscription status, subscription date and, where applicable, unsubscribe date.

You can unsubscribe using the unsubscribe option provided by MobileShox. We may retain an unsubscribed record where reasonably necessary to remember your preference, maintain subscription records, prevent accidental re-subscription or meet operational or legal requirements.

Newsletter Privacy

MobileShox respects the privacy of its subscribers. We do not sell, rent or share subscriber names or email addresses with third parties for their own marketing purposes. Subscriber information may only be processed by service providers that are necessary to operate the website, manage subscriptions or deliver MobileShox email communications.

Subscribers will receive occasional emails from MobileShox containing website updates, new articles, mobile technology guides, apps, games, tips and other relevant MobileShox content. We do not intend to send excessive or unrelated promotional email.

You can unsubscribe from future MobileShox newsletter emails at any time using the unsubscribe option provided in our emails or through the website. Once unsubscribed, we will stop sending newsletter communications to that email address, although we may retain a limited subscription-status record where reasonably necessary to remember your preference and prevent accidental re-subscription.

We use reasonable technical and administrative measures intended to protect subscriber information. However, no website, email system or Internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Contact Form Information

If you contact MobileShox through our Contact Page, we collect the information you submit, such as your name, email address, subject and message, together with your IP address for security and spam-prevention purposes.

8. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain operational records, protect the website, honor subscription preferences, resolve disputes, or satisfy applicable legal obligations.

Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information. For example, newsletter records may be retained after an unsubscribe request so that we can maintain the subscription status and avoid sending unwanted messages.
