Privacy policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
TRC SHOP (operated by The Report Circuit) runs this store and website, including related information, content, features, tools, products and services, to provide you with a shopping experience (the "Services"). TRC SHOP is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit, use, or make a purchase using the Services or otherwise communicate with us.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using and accessing any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described here.
Personal Information We Collect or Process
When we use the term "personal information," we mean information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to you. Depending on how you interact with the Services, we may collect or process:
- Contact details including your name, billing address, shipping address, phone number, and email address.
- Financial information including payment method details and transaction confirmation (payment processing is handled by Shopify and its payment partners; we do not store full card numbers).
- Account information if you create an account, including preferences and settings.
- Transaction information including items you view, put in your cart, purchase, return, exchange or cancel, and past transactions.
- Communications with us including customer support emails and Shopify Inbox chat messages.
- Marketing signup information if you join our email list through Shopify Forms or similar signup tools, including your email and marketing consent status.
- Reviews if you leave a product review through Judge.me or a similar review app, including your name, email, rating, and review text.
- Device and usage information including IP address, browser or device details, cookies and similar technologies, and how you interact with the Services.
Personal Information Sources
- Directly from you (checkout, accounts, email signup, chat, support requests, reviews)
- Automatically through the Services (cookies, analytics, and similar technologies)
- From service providers who process information on our behalf
How We Use Your Personal Information
- Provide and improve the Services — process payments, fulfill orders, arrange shipping, handle returns and exchanges, remember preferences, and provide customer support.
- Marketing — send promotional emails if you have consented; you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in those emails. We may still send transactional emails about your orders or account.
- Security and fraud prevention — protect our store, customers, and partners.
- Legal reasons — comply with law, respond to valid legal process, and enforce our terms and policies.
How We Disclose Personal Information
We may disclose personal information to third parties for legitimate purposes, including:
- Shopify — our e-commerce platform, which hosts the store, checkout, payments infrastructure, Shopify Inbox chat, and related tools.
- Print-on-demand and fulfillment partners — including Printful, Yoycol, PrintKK, and Tapstitch (ODMPOD). These partners receive order and shipping details (such as your name, shipping address, email, and ordered items) solely to produce and ship your order.
- Review providers — such as Judge.me, to collect and display product reviews.
- Email and marketing tools — such as Shopify Forms / Shopify Email, to manage signup and promotional messages you opted into.
- Carriers and logistics providers used by us or our fulfillment partners to deliver packages.
- Business and marketing partners used for advertising and analytics, where permitted. Depending on where you live, you may have a right to opt out of targeted advertising uses; see our data sharing opt-out page when available, and Shopify's privacy tools.
- When required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a business transfer.
Relationship with Shopify
The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services. Information you submit may be transmitted to Shopify and other service providers that may be located in countries other than where you reside.

Cookies and Analytics
We and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies to operate the store, remember cart contents, measure traffic and performance, prevent fraud, and (where permitted) support advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings; some features may not work if cookies are disabled.
Children's Data
The Services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of majority in their jurisdiction. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us to request deletion.
Security and Retention
No security measure is perfect. We retain personal information as needed to provide the Services, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Your Rights and Choices (including GDPR and CCPA)
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information; to opt out of sale/sharing or targeted advertising; and to manage marketing preferences. To exercise these rights, email thereportcircuit@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. You will not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights. Marketing emails include an unsubscribe link you can use at any time.
International Transfers
We may transfer, store, and process personal information outside the country you live in, including through Shopify and our fulfillment partners.
