Voluntary information: If you contact our customer service, we may collect your contact information (e.g., email, phone number) to respond to your inquiries and provide after-sales support.
Online shopping-related information: When you place an order on our online store, we will collect necessary order information, including your name, shipping address, contact phone number, and payment-related information (e.g., payment method, transaction serial number) to complete order processing, delivery, and after-sales services. We will not store your full payment card information or other sensitive payment details.

We will never collect sensitive personal information (such as health data, location, voice records, or full payment card information) without your explicit consent, and will not collect unnecessary information beyond the scope of product functionality and online shopping needs.

The collected information is only used for the following purposes:

To provide and maintain the core functions of Smtheadphones, such as Bluetooth pairing, sound playback, and function adjustment.
To optimize product performance and user experience, such as improving connection stability, adjusting sound quality, and developing new functions based on usage habits.
To provide online shopping services, including order processing, packaging, shipping, logistics tracking, and order status notification, ensuring you can receive your purchased products smoothly.
To provide after-sales service, such as handling product malfunctions, order inquiries, returns and exchanges, and resolving user complaints.

We will not use your information for advertising, user profiling, AI model training, or other unrelated purposes without your explicit permission. We will not share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes without your consent.

3. Information Storage and Protection

We take strict technical and management measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or damage, complying with global privacy laws such as GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and CDPA:

Your information is stored in encrypted form, and we adopt data encryption and desensitization technologies to ensure “usable but invisible” data security, especially for shopping and payment-related information.
We limit access to your information to authorized personnel only, and establish strict access control and accountability mechanisms, including staff training on data protection protocols.
We will retain your information only for the period necessary to achieve the purposes stated in this policy: order and logistics information will be retained until the order is completed and the after-sales period expires; device and usage data will be retained for product optimization purposes; after the retention period expires, we will delete or anonymize your information in a timely manner.
