1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Kurios Medical Supplies LLC ("we," "us," "our"), the operator of thefootcarestore.com and "The Foot Care Store" (the "Site"), collects, uses, and protects information when you visit the Site. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information we collect
Automatically collected information. Like most websites, the Site may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and general usage data (such as pages viewed and time spent on the Site), typically through standard hosting logs and analytics tools.
Information you provide. The Site includes a "Suggest a Product" form where you may voluntarily submit a product suggestion along with your name and email address (both optional). We use this solely to review suggestions and, if you provide an email address, to follow up with you if needed.
We do not knowingly collect health information through this Site. This Site is separate from Dr. Thomas's medical practice and its electronic health record systems. Please do not submit personal health information (such as details about your specific diagnosis, symptoms, or treatment) through the product suggestion form or any other feature on this Site.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
The Site may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to support basic site functionality, analytics, and affiliate link tracking (for example, to accurately credit purchases made through our affiliate partners, including Amazon and other retail partners). You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the Site may not function properly without them.
4. How we use information
We use collected information to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
- Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve content and product recommendations
- Track and receive credit for purchases made through affiliate links
- Respond to inquiries submitted through any contact form
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
5. Affiliate links and third-party sites
The Site contains affiliate links to third-party retailers, including Amazon, HOKA, New Balance, Dansko, Aetrex, Vionic, Orthofeet, Birkenstock, and Bauerfeind. When you click these links and make a purchase, the retailer's own privacy policy and data practices apply to that transaction, not this one. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.
6. Data security
We take reasonable measures to protect information collected through the Site, but no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of any information you provide.
7. Children's privacy
The federal law COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) regulates the collection of personal information from children under 13. In keeping with COPPA, the Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
8. Your choices
You may adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being used. If the Site offers an email signup, you may opt out of future communications at any time using the unsubscribe link provided in those emails.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes are effective upon posting to the Site, with the "Last updated" date above revised accordingly.
