This Privacy Policy explains how Hanes ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information you provide when accessing or using our website at haunes.com (the "Website") or purchasing our products—including t-shirts, sweatpants, socks, bras, underwear, and other family-friendly comfortable clothing. By using the Website or engaging with our services, you agree to the collection and use of your information as described in this Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We only gather information necessary to fulfill legitimate business purposes and enhance your shopping experience for family clothing, divided into two key categories:
1.1 Personal Identifiable Information (PII)
This is information that can identify you individually, provided voluntarily when you interact with the Website or our services:
-
Order & Shipping Details: Full name, shipping address, billing address (if different from shipping address), phone number (optional, for delivery updates and issue resolution), and email address (used for order confirmations, shipping notifications, size recommendation follow-ups, and customer support).
-
Payment Information: Credit/debit card details, bank account information, or other payment method data—note: we do not store full payment details; this information is processed securely by third-party payment service providers in compliance with industry standards (e.g., PCI DSS).
-
Account Information: If you create an account on the Website, we collect your chosen username, encrypted password, and saved preferences (e.g., favorite product categories like kids’ t-shirts or women’s bras, default shipping address, size preferences for different family members, and order history of clothing purchases).
-
Voluntary Submissions: Information provided when contacting customer support (e.g., questions about bra sizing, sweatpants fit, or underwear fabric), participating in surveys (e.g., feedback on t-shirt softness), or signing up for promotional updates about new clothing collections or exclusive offers.
1.2 Non-Personal Identifiable Information
This is data that cannot identify you individually, collected automatically when you use the Website to understand user behavior and optimize our clothing-related services:
-
Browsing Data: Pages you visit (e.g., kids’ clothing, men’s socks, women’s bras), time spent on each page, links clicked, search queries (e.g., "tag-free t-shirts," "cozy sweatpants"), and product views or cart additions (e.g., multiple sizes of underwear for family members).
-
Device & Technical Data: Device type (e.g., smartphone, laptop), operating system, browser type, IP address (used to optimize regional service and detect suspicious activity), and internet service provider.
-
Usage Analytics: Interaction with product filters (e.g., size, color, age group for kids’ clothing), checkout behavior, and engagement with promotional content (e.g., family matching t-shirt bundles)—used to improve Website functionality, refine clothing offerings, and personalize your shopping experience.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information for specific, legitimate purposes aligned with our business and your needs as a family clothing shopper:
-
Process & Fulfill Orders: Verify order details, arrange free shipping (no minimum purchase required) using your address, process payments securely, and send order confirmations, shipping tracking updates (for 1–3 business days processing and 6–12 business days delivery), refund notifications, or exclusive clothing offer details via email.
-
Provide Customer Support: Respond to your inquiries (e.g., questions about sock sizes, bra fit guidance, or sweatpants fabric care), resolve issues (e.g., damaged t-shirts or incorrect underwear sizes), and communicate with you using the contact information you provide.
-
Improve Our Products & Services: Analyze browsing and usage data to enhance Website design (e.g., simplifying navigation for kids’ clothing categories), optimize clothing collections (e.g., expanding popular tag-free t-shirt lines), fix technical errors, and personalize product recommendations based on your family’s needs (e.g., suggesting matching sweatpants for parents and kids or supportive bras for daily wear).
-
Ensure Security & Prevent Fraud: Protect against unauthorized orders, fake accounts, or fraudulent payment attempts by verifying user identities, monitoring unusual activity (e.g., multiple high-volume orders of socks from a new IP), and securing user accounts.
-
Communicate Relevant Updates: Share necessary information about changes to our services (e.g., shipping processes, availability of popular underwear styles) or send promotional content (e.g., new bra collections or holiday t-shirt bundles) if you have consented to receive such communications. You can unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time.
3. Information Sharing & Disclosure
We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We only share your information in limited, controlled circumstances where it is necessary to fulfill our clothing-related services:
-
Trusted Third-Party Service Providers: We collaborate with reputable partners to perform specific business functions, and these partners are contractually required to protect your information and only use it to fulfill their assigned tasks. Examples include: Payment processors (to securely handle payment transactions for clothing purchases);
-
Shipping carriers (to deliver your orders with free shipping using your address and provide tracking updates);
-
IT service providers (to maintain Website functionality, secure data storage, and run analytics for service improvement);
-
Customer support tools (to manage inquiries about clothing sizing, returns, or refunds).
Legal & Compliance Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law (e.g., court order, subpoena, or regulatory request) or to protect our legal rights, safety, or the safety of our users, employees, or the public (e.g., investigating fraudulent activity related to clothing purchases).
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business assets, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity, but this transfer will be subject to a privacy policy consistent with this one.
4. Data Security Measures
We take reasonable, industry-standard precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure:
-
Encrypt sensitive data (e.g., payment information, account passwords) using secure technologies such as SSL/TLS for data transmission and AES for storage.
-
Restrict access to personal information to only authorized team members who need it to perform their job responsibilities (e.g., order fulfillment staff or customer support agents assisting with bra sizing questions).
-
Regularly update our security systems, conduct vulnerability assessments, and train employees on data protection practices and fraud prevention.
-
Require third-party service providers to maintain equivalent security standards and audit their practices periodically.
While we strive to maintain the highest level of security, no method of data transmission or storage is 100% foolproof. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we commit to notifying you promptly if a data breach occurs that may affect your personal information and taking corrective actions to mitigate risks.
5. Your Rights Regarding Your Information
You have the right to control your personal information, and we make it easy to exercise these rights at any time:
-
Access Your Information: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you (e.g., order history for family clothing, account details, or saved size preferences).
-
Correct Inaccuracies: Update or correct any incorrect or outdated information (e.g., changing your saved shipping address or updating your child’s t-shirt size preference).
-
Delete Your Information: Request the deletion of your personal information (except for data we are required to keep by law, such as order records for tax and accounting purposes or 60-day return policy compliance).
-
Opt-Out of Promotional Communications: If you have previously consented to marketing emails (e.g., new bra collection alerts), you can unsubscribe at any time via the "unsubscribe" link in the email or by contacting us directly.
-
Withdraw Consent: For other types of consent (e.g., using your browsing data for personalized clothing recommendations), you can withdraw consent by contacting our customer support team.
To exercise any of these rights, please use the contact details in Section 8. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe and provide a decision or update on progress.
