Soaper Man ("Soaper Man," "we," "us," or "our") operates this website and store, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services (collectively, the "Services"), to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience. Our Services are built on Shopify, and payments are processed securely through Paymob and COD, our licensed payment service provider in Egypt.
This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit, use, or make a purchase or other transaction through the Services, or otherwise communicate with us. If there is a conflict between our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy controls with respect to the collection, processing, and disclosure of your personal information.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood how we collect, use, and disclose your information as described below.
1. Personal Information We Collect
"Personal information" refers to information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to you.

Depending on how you interact with the Services, we may collect or process the following categories of personal information:
- Contact details — name, billing and shipping address, phone number, and email address.
- Order and payment information — items purchased, order value, payment method (e.g., card, mobile wallet, or Cash on Delivery), and payment confirmation status. Full card numbers and sensitive payment credentials are collected and processed directly by Paymob, our PCI‑DSS compliant payment gateway — Soaper Man does not receive, store, or have access to your full card details at any time (see Section 6 below).
- Account information — username, password, preferences, and account settings, if you create an account.
- Transaction history — items viewed, added to cart or wishlist, purchased, returned, exchanged, or cancelled.
- Communications — information you share with us through customer support, WhatsApp, email, social media, or order-related inquiries.
- Device and usage information — IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and how you interact with our website (e.g., pages visited, time spent).
2. How We Collect Your Information
We collect personal information:
- Directly from you — when you place an order, create an account, contact customer support, or otherwise provide information to us.

- Paymob is PCI-DSS compliant and handles the storage and processing of sensitive payment data in accordance with applicable security standards.
- Soaper Man does not store your full card number, CVV, or other sensitive payment credentials on our servers.
- We receive only the transaction outcome (approved, declined, or pending) and a transaction reference number from Paymob, which we use to confirm and process your order.
- For orders placed via Cash on Delivery (COD), payment is collected upon delivery and no online payment data is transmitted.
