PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: June 28, 2026

1. Information We Collect
   We collect personal information in two ways: information you provide directly to us, and data collected automatically
   through website infrastructure.
   Information You Provide Directly: Email address (if subscribing to a newsletter or user account), name,
   shipping/billing address, and payment details (when ordering merchandise), and messages submitted via
   contact forms.
   Information Collected Automatically: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, device info,
   and general browsing telemetry collected via log files or cookies.

   
   

2. How We Use Your Information
   We use collected data solely for operating the Website and delivering our services, including:

   • Providing access to web comics and website functionality.

   • Fulfilling merchandise orders, processing payments via Airwallex, and arranging delivery.

   • Sending newsletter updates or notification emails (if opted-in).

   • Analyzing aggregate site performance to prevent abuse and improve user experience.

   
   

3. Third-Party Service Providers
   Ocean Creative does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share necessary data only with trusted third-party service providers required for website operation and store management, including:

   • Payment processing — to securely process merchandise payments.

   • Analytics — to analyze anonymized site traffic and engagement.

   • Order management & fulfillment tools — to track, pack, and ship physical orders, including sharing your name, shipping address, and order contents with couriers and shipping-label providers as needed to deliver your order.

   • Email delivery services — for transactional order notifications and direct customer support correspondence.

   • Cloud hosting & data storage — to securely store order records.

   
   

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
   We use cookies and tracking technologies provided by Google Analytics to evaluate website performance and remember user preferences. Your shopping cart contents are saved using your browser's local storage rather than cookies, so items remain in your cart between visits until you complete checkout or clear your browser data.

   
   

5. Data Rights & Compliance
   We process personal data in accordance with the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO) and
   applicable international data protection standards (such as GDPR where applicable). You have the right to request
   access to or deletion of your personal data by contacting us.

   
   

6. Children's Privacy
   Our Website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children
   under 13 without parental consent.
