Last Updated: June 2, 2026

Galco’s Soda Pop Stop (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates sodapopstop.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, make a purchase, or interact with us.

We take your privacy seriously. In light of our ongoing commercial website modernization project, we maintain this policy to clearly disclose our data practices to our customers.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you interact with the Site, create an account, place an order, or subscribe to our communications.

  • Order & Account Information: When you make a purchase or set up a delivery profile, we collect your name, shipping address, billing address, phone number, and email address to fulfill your order and facilitate delivery.

  • Newsletter Sign-ups: If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your first name, last name, and email address so we can send you store updates and news.

  • Payment Data: All online payments are securely processed through our third-party payment gateway, Square. Galco’s does not store, view, or retain your credit card numbers or raw financial credentials on our WordPress servers. Square handles all transactional security data directly.

  • Automated Log Data & Cookies: When you browse the Site, our servers and analytics tools automatically collect standard device information, such as your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, and operating system.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies (small text files placed on your device) to maintain the functionality of our website.

  • Functional Cookies: These are necessary to keep track of items in your shopping cart while you browse and to keep you logged into your account during checkout.

  • Google Analytics: We use standard Google Analytics to collect anonymous traffic data (such as which soda categories are visited most often). This tool collects information anonymously and reports overall trends without identifying individual visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using browser add-ons or adjusting your browser’s cookie settings.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Process, fulfill, ship, and deliver your e-commerce orders.

  • Manage your customer account and delivery preferences.

  • Send you our email newsletter (only if you have explicitly opted in). You can opt out of these updates at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email.

  • Monitor website performance and troubleshoot technical bugs.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We only share information with trusted service providers essential to running our business, including:

  • Square (to securely process your payment).

  • Shipping & Delivery Carriers (to handle physical delivery to your address).

  • Email Marketing Services (to distribute our newsletter).

  • Core Hosting Infrastructure (to keep the website online).

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security practices to protect your personal information from unauthorized access. However, please note that no electronic transmission or storage method over the internet is 100% secure.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, request corrections to your delivery information, or request that your data be deleted. You can manage your cookie preferences directly through your web browser settings.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our operational or legal requirements. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will always indicate when the latest revisions were made.
