Privacy Policy

What Information Akedo Shop Collects About You

When you browse our collection of Akedo Ultimate Arcade Warriors products—from battle arenas to mini battling action figures—we gather information in three ways: what you directly share with us, what your device automatically transmits, and what we receive from third parties like Amazon Associates.

Information You Provide Directly

If you sign up for our newsletter or contact us about a specific warrior figure or arena, you provide your email address and any details you include in your message. We don’t operate a shopping cart on our site—all purchases happen directly through Amazon—so we never collect payment information, billing addresses, or order details ourselves.

Information Collected Automatically

Your browser and device share technical data with us every time you visit: your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, and which Akedo warriors or arenas you clicked to view on Amazon. We also track how long you spend on pages and which battle arena comparisons you reviewed before clicking through.

Information From Third Parties

As an Amazon Associate, we receive aggregate performance data—how many visitors clicked our links, which Akedo products were purchased after those clicks—but Amazon does not share your individual purchase history or personal details with us.

How Akedo Shop Uses Your Information

We use the data we collect to improve your experience shopping for Akedo collectibles, communicate about new warrior releases and arena restocks, analyze which product categories (Ninja Fury vs. Powerstorm, for instance) generate the most interest, and fulfill our legal obligations as an affiliate partner.

Specifically, your information helps us identify which battle arenas are most popular so we can feature them prominently, understand which device types our collectors use so we can optimize our mobile layout for browsing starter packs and collector sets, and send you targeted updates about ultra-rare warriors or limited-edition giants if you’ve opted into our newsletter.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies at Akedo Shop

Like most affiliate sites, we use cookies—small text files stored on your device—to recognize returning visitors, remember which Akedo characters you viewed, and measure how many people discover our site through search versus direct visits.

Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential Cookies: Required for basic site navigation and security. You cannot disable these without breaking core functionality.
  • Analytics Cookies: Track which Akedo product pages get the most traffic and how long visitors spend comparing different warrior series. We use these insights to prioritize content updates.
  • Advertising Cookies: Enable our Amazon affiliate tracking so we earn commissions when you purchase Akedo toys after clicking our links. These also allow Amazon to show you relevant ads for warriors or arenas you viewed on our site.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu. If you disable advertising cookies, we won’t earn commissions from your Amazon purchases (which is your right), but our product links will still work. Blocking analytics cookies prevents us from seeing aggregate traffic patterns, which makes it harder to know which Akedo content to expand. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without rendering the site unusable.

When Akedo Shop Shares Your Data

We share your information in three situations: with service providers who help us operate the site, with Amazon as our affiliate partner, and when legally required.

Our hosting provider and email marketing platform (if we use one) access your data to deliver basic functionality—storing your newsletter subscription, sending update emails about new Akedo releases. These vendors are contractually bound not to use your information for their own purposes. Amazon receives click data when you follow our affiliate links so they can track which sales originated from Akedo Shop and calculate our commissions; they do not receive your email address or other personal details from us. If law enforcement issues a valid subpoena related to fraudulent activity on our site, or if we’re required to comply with a government investigation, we will disclose the minimum necessary information to meet that legal obligation.

How We Protect Your Akedo Shop Data

We secure your information using HTTPS encryption for all page loads, regular software updates on our hosting environment, and restricted access controls so only authorized personnel can view subscriber lists or contact form submissions. No security system is completely invulnerable—if a data breach occurs, we will notify affected users within 72 hours via email and post a notice on our homepage detailing what information was compromised and what steps we’re taking to prevent recurrence.

Your Privacy Rights When Shopping Akedo Toys

Depending on where you live, you have specific legal rights regarding your personal data. We honor all the major frameworks: GDPR for EU visitors, CCPA/CPRA for California residents, and similar laws in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah.

Rights for All Akedo Shop Visitors

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you (your email if subscribed, your device data from analytics).
  • Correction: Ask us to update inaccurate information—if you signed up with a typo in your email address, we’ll fix it.
  • Deletion: Request that we erase your data. We’ll comply unless we have a legal reason to retain it (like a tax record related to affiliate commissions).
  • Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails by clicking the link at the bottom of any newsletter. This does not affect your ability to browse our Akedo product listings or click through to Amazon.

GDPR Rights (EU Visitors)

If you’re in the European Union, you also have the right to object to our processing of your data for marketing purposes, restrict how we use your information while we investigate a dispute, and receive your data in a portable format (a CSV file of your email and subscription date, for instance). You can lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority if you believe we’ve mishandled your information.

CCPA/CPRA Rights (California Residents)

California law gives you the right to know which categories of personal information we’ve collected (device data, email if subscribed), which categories we’ve shared with third parties (click data with Amazon), and to opt out of the “sale” of your personal information. Under CCPA/CPRA, sharing data with Amazon Associates for commission tracking technically counts as a sale—you can opt out by disabling advertising cookies in your browser, though this will prevent us from earning affiliate revenue on your purchases. You also have the right to limit how we use your sensitive personal information, but we don’t collect any data that qualifies as sensitive under California law (precise geolocation, financial account details, biometric identifiers, etc.).

VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA, UCPA Rights (Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah)

These four state laws grant similar rights to CCPA: access your data, correct inaccuracies, delete your information, obtain a portable copy, and opt out of targeted advertising or profiling. The opt-out mechanisms are the same—disable advertising cookies through your browser settings. We do not engage in profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects (like credit decisions), so that aspect of these laws doesn’t apply to our Akedo product affiliate site.

How to Exercise These Rights

Email your request to privacy@akedoshop.com with “Privacy Rights Request” in the subject line. Include your email address (if subscribed) and specify which right you’re invoking—access, deletion, correction, or opt-out. We’ll respond within 30 days for CCPA/CPRA requests and within 45 days for requests under other frameworks, unless we notify you that we need additional time due to request complexity. You will not face discrimination (higher prices, reduced service quality) for exercising your privacy rights.

Children’s Privacy on Akedo Shop

Akedo Ultimate Arcade Warriors toys are designed for kids, but Akedo Shop itself—this informational affiliate site—is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 without verifiable parental consent, as required by COPPA (the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act). If you’re a parent and discover that your child has submitted their email to our newsletter signup without your permission, contact us immediately at privacy@akedoshop.com and we will delete that information within 24 hours. Our Amazon affiliate links lead to product pages where age-appropriate disclosures and parental controls apply—once you click through to Amazon, their privacy policy governs any data collection during the purchase process.

Third-Party Links on Akedo Shop

Our site contains affiliate links to Amazon product pages for Akedo battle arenas, warrior figures, starter packs, and collector sets. The moment you click one of those links and land on Amazon.com, you’re subject to Amazon’s privacy policy, not ours. We cannot control how Amazon collects, uses, or shares your data once you’re on their platform—if you have questions about Amazon’s practices, review their policy directly or contact their support team. This applies to any other external links we may include (manufacturer sites, YouTube unboxing videos, fan wikis)—we’re not responsible for their privacy practices.

International Data Transfers From Akedo Shop

Akedo Shop operates from the United States. If you’re visiting from the EU, UK, or another jurisdiction with stricter data protection laws, your information will be transferred to and stored on U.S. servers. We rely on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission to ensure your data receives adequate protection during that transfer, even though the U.S. does not have an EU-equivalent federal privacy law. By using our site to research Akedo toys, you consent to this cross-border data transfer. If you’re uncomfortable with U.S. data storage, you can still access Akedo products directly through Amazon’s localized sites (Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, etc.), which may keep your data within your region.

How Long Akedo Shop Retains Your Information

We keep your data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we retain your email until you unsubscribe. Device and analytics data (IP addresses, page views) are aggregated and anonymized after 26 months—Google Analytics automatically deletes granular user-level data after that period under our configuration. Affiliate tracking data shared with Amazon (which clicks converted to sales) is retained by Amazon according to their own retention schedule, typically several years for tax and audit purposes; we only keep summary commission reports, not individual transaction details. If you submit a privacy rights request (access, deletion, etc.), we retain a record of that request and our response for six years to demonstrate compliance with legal obligations, even if we deleted your underlying personal data as you requested.

Email Communications From Akedo Shop

If you opt into our newsletter, you’ll receive updates about new Akedo warrior releases (like upcoming Ninja Fury or Powerstorm series), restock alerts for popular battle arenas, and occasional highlights of ultra-rare collectibles or limited-edition giants. We aim for no more than two emails per month—you’re not signing up for daily spam. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link at the bottom. If you unsubscribe, we’ll remove you from the mailing list within 48 hours, though you may receive one or two already-scheduled sends that were queued before your opt-out was processed. Unsubscribing does not delete your email from our records entirely (we keep a suppression list to ensure we don’t accidentally re-add you), but we will never send you marketing content again. Transactional emails—if you contact us with a question and we reply—are not affected by newsletter unsubscribe, since those are one-to-one correspondence you initiated.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers let you enable a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal that tells websites you prefer not to be tracked. There is no industry consensus on how to interpret DNT, and we do not currently respond to DNT signals in a special way—our default analytics and affiliate tracking operate the same whether DNT is enabled or disabled. If you want to prevent tracking, use the cookie management options described earlier in this policy (disable advertising and analytics cookies through your browser settings). That approach is more effective than relying on DNT, which many sites ignore.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect new privacy laws (like additional U.S. states adopting comprehensive data protection statutes), changes in our affiliate partnerships (if we join a program beyond Amazon Associates), or expansions in how we collect data (if we add a chatbot or customer review feature). When we make material changes—anything that significantly alters your rights or how your data is used—we’ll post a notice on our homepage for at least 30 days and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. If you’re subscribed to our newsletter, we’ll also send an email highlighting the key changes. Continued use of Akedo Shop after a policy update means you accept the revised terms. If you disagree with the changes, your remedy is to stop using the site and request deletion of your data under the “Your Privacy Rights” section above.
