PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: October 15, 2026
Last Updated: October 15, 2026
 
  At MicroFalconry (accessible via https://microfalconry.com ), your privacy and data security are core tenets of our operational standards. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information we collect, how it is processed, and the strict security measures we employ to protect our global falconry and raptor-conditioning community.
 
 

 1. Data Controller Details

  For the purpose of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and regional European data protection frameworks, the data controller is:
  • Storefront: MicroFalconry
  • Operating Base: Lithuania (Baltic Sea Region), European Union
  • Primary Contact: info@microfalconry.com

 

2.Information We Collect

  To process your handcrafted orders and maintain site functionality, we collect data across three distinct categories:
  A. Information You Provide Voluntarily
  • Identity & Contact Data: Your first name, last name, email address, physical shipping address, and telephone number. This is collected explicitly when you fill out checkout fields, create an account, or send an inquiry to our support desk.
  • Equipment Customizations: Technical model choices (such as the CLASSIC, LIGHT, NANO, or VORTEX rigs), target bird species specifications, or drone payload compatibility notes submitted voluntarily to help configure your custom release systems.
B. Information Collected Automatically
  • Technical & Usage Data: Your IP address, internet service provider, browser type, operating system version, page traffic patterns, referral URLs, and session lengths captured automatically via system cookies and performance optimizations (such as LiteSpeed or Jetpack Boost caches).
C. Sensitive Financial Transaction Exclusions
  • Zero Local Storage Policy: MicroFalconry does not view, process, or store your credit card numbers, tokenized secrets, or banking credentials locally. All payments are offloaded securely to primary global payment processors, including Stripe and PayPal . Your transaction is protected under their tier-1 encrypted checkouts.

 

3. Legal Bases for Processing Data

Under GDPR, we process your personal data under the following legitimate frameworks:
  1. Contractual Performance: Collecting your shipping address, name, and contact details is legally mandatory to fulfill, manufacture, and dispatch your order.
  2. Consent: For general inquiries, newsletter updates, or tracking optimizations where you have provided explicit permission.
  3. Legitimate Interests: To protect our platform from bot injection attacks, prevent retail fraud, and analyze technical server diagnostics.

 

4. How Your Data Is Utilized

  We use your information strictly to maintain professional store operations:
  • To handcraft, inspect, calibrate, and pack your drone parachute release systems.
  • To generate automated shipment receipts and carrier tracking links.
  • To troubleshoot technical questions regarding parachute deployment or rigging configurations.
  • To optimize site performance and prevent cybersecurity breaches.

 

5. Third-Party Data Disclosures & Handovers

  We never trade, rent, or lease consumer information to advertisement pools. Your data is only shared with verified e-commerce partners under strict operations:
  • Logistics Providers: Your tracking information, address, and mobile number are shared with Lietuvos Paštas , LP Express , and connecting destination national carriers solely to complete localized route delivery.
  • Technical Infrastructure Providers: Tokenized backend parameters handled by secure WordPress modules (such as Jetpack , Elementor , and WooCommerce ) to stabilize site uptime.
  • Legal Authorities: If demanded explicitly to satisfy national border customs requirements, state auditing obligations, or European judicial mandates.

 

6. International Cross-Border Data Transits

  Because MicroFalconry ships specialized bird-training setups worldwide, your address data will traverse international borders outside the EEA when handled by global postal systems. By making a purchase, you acknowledge that international delivery networks operate under their respective regional data security mandates.
 

7. Data Retention Policy

 We keep your profile data only as long as necessary:
  • Fulfillment & Invoice Records: Retained for a standard window to comply with European tax reporting codes and accounting regulations.
  • Guest Sessions & Abandoned Checkouts: Automatically cleared within our WooCommerce database rules after a localized expiration window to keep database bloat low.

 

8. Your GDPR Legal Rights

  If you are a resident of the European Union, you enjoy absolute legal protections over your footprint on our storefront. You can execute these anytime by emailing info@microfalconry.com :
  • The Right to Access: Request a complete export of all personal profiles we currently hold on you.
  • The Right to Rectification: Request corrections to broken addresses or misspelled customer names.
  • The Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): Request total deletion of your local shopper profile, provided it does not conflict with active accounting audit requirements.
  • The Right to Data Portability: Request that we hand over tokenized layout details cleanly to another provider.

9. Cookie Policy Banner

  MicroFalconry deploys standard cookie logic to preserve your open cart items, log your account status, and count daily traffic spikes anonymously. You can adjust, toggle, or wipe your tracking preference limits instantly through your consumer browser settings at any point.
