Effective date: August 15, 2025

Last updated: August 15, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Empyrean Athletics (“Empyrean,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit our websites, use our apps, shop in-store, interact with our social media, or otherwise engage with our products and services (collectively, the “Services”).

By using the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

1) Scope

This Policy applies to personal information we process about customers, website/app visitors, newsletter subscribers, business partners, and job applicants. This Policy does not apply to employees and contractors, who are covered by a separate notice.

2) Information We Collect

  • Identifiers & contact data (e.g., name, email, phone number, shipping/billing address, account credentials).

  • Commercial information (e.g., products viewed, cart activity, orders, returns, store interactions, customer support messages).

  • Payment information processed by our payment providers (e.g., card type, last 4 digits, transaction ID). We do not store full card numbers.

  • Device & usage data (e.g., IP address, cookie IDs, device identifiers, browser type, pages viewed, timestamps, referral/UTM data, approximate location).

  • Preferences (e.g., size, style, sport interests, marketing choices, language).

  • User content (e.g., reviews, photos you upload, survey responses, social media interactions).

  • Fitness & wellness inputs (optional) you choose to provide in our apps or events (e.g., training goals, activity logs). Do not submit sensitive medical data.

  • Job applicant data (e.g., CV, work history, qualifications) if you apply for a role.

Sources. We collect information directly from you, automatically via cookies and similar technologies, from our service providers (e.g., payment, analytics, shipping), from publicly available sources, and—where permitted—from partners such as advertising networks and social platforms.

3) How We Use Information

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Services and our products.

  • Process orders, payments, shipping, returns, and account administration.

  • Personalize your experience (e.g., product recommendations, saved sizes).

  • Communicate with you about purchases, support, and updates.

  • Send marketing and promotional messages (you can opt out anytime).

  • Measure performance, conduct analytics, and understand audience trends.

  • Prevent fraud, secure the Services, and comply with legal obligations.

  • Run events, contests, loyalty programs, and surveys.

  • Recruiting and hiring where you apply for a job.

5) When We Share Information

We may disclose personal information with:

  • Service providers (e.g., hosting, payment, analytics, shipping, customer support) under contracts that limit use to providing services to us.

  • Advertising & analytics partners that help deliver or measure ads and personalize experiences (see “Cookies & Tracking”).

  • Business transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.

  • Legal & safety when required by law, regulation, or to protect rights, safety, and security.

  • With your direction or consent, including when you link third-party apps or share content publicly.

We do not sell your personal information for money. In jurisdictions like California, some sharing for targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing.” See “Your Privacy Rights” to opt out.

6) International Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than where you reside. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) to protect cross-border transfers.

7) Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain business records. Retention periods vary depending on data type and context (e.g., tax and accounting records may be kept for legally mandated periods).

8) Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no security measure is perfect; transmission and storage carry risks.

9) Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights over your personal information, such as:

  • Access to the information we hold about you.

  • Correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.

  • Deletion (erasure), subject to legal exceptions.

  • Restriction or objection to certain processing.

  • Portability of your data (EEA/UK/other jurisdictions where applicable).

  • Opt-out of targeted advertising and certain profiling.

  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise rights, use the methods in Contact Us. We may verify your identity. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by law.

California residents (CPRA). You have rights to know, correct, delete, and opt-out of sale/sharing. We do not process “sensitive personal information” for the purpose of inferring characteristics. We honor global privacy control (GPC) signals where required. You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising rights.

EEA/UK. You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (e.g., ICO in the UK). Our lead supervisory authority (if applicable) will be disclosed upon request.

10) Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, SDKs, and similar technologies to operate the Services, remember preferences, personalize content, measure performance, and provide advertising. Where required, we will request your consent. You can manage cookies via our cookie banner, your browser settings, or device controls. Disabling certain cookies may affect functionality.

  • Strictly necessary — essential for core site functions (e.g., cart, checkout).

  • Performance/analytics — help us understand usage and improve the Services.

  • Functionality — remember preferences and enhance features.

  • Advertising/targeting — deliver and measure ads and limit repeats.

11) Marketing Communications

We may send emails, SMS, push notifications, or in-app messages. You can opt out by following unsubscribe links, updating account settings, replying “STOP” to SMS (where available), or disabling notifications in device settings. We may still send transactional or service messages (e.g., order confirmations).

12) Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under the age where parental consent is required by applicable law (e.g., 13 in the U.S., 16 in parts of the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from such children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

13) Third-Party Links & Tools

The Services may link to third-party websites, apps, or integrations (e.g., social sign-in, maps, payment processors). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We encourage you to review them.

14) Automated Decision-Making & Profiling

We may use limited profiling to personalize content and offers. We do not make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects solely by automated means without human review.

15) Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no industry consensus, we do not respond to DNT. We honor legally required browser-based opt-out signals (e.g., GPC) where applicable.

16) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version and revise the “Last updated” date. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice as required by law.
