Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. This page explains — in plain language — what information we collect, how we use it, and the control you have over it. We’ve kept it as simple as possible so you actually know what you’re agreeing to.
The Short Version
If you only read one section, read this one. It covers the essentials.

Who We Share Your Information With
We share your data only when necessary to provide our service. Here are the only parties who may receive your information:
- Payment processors (such as Stripe, PayPal): To process your payment securely. We don’t see or store your card details
- Shipping carriers (such as FedEx, DHL, USPS): To deliver your order. They receive your name and shipping address

Where Your Data Is Processed
LMCV serves American customers, but our manufacturing workshop is located in Pakistan. This means:
- Your order data and customization specs are shared with our manufacturing team in Pakistan to craft your vest
- Your payment information stays with US-based payment processors and is never sent to Pakistan
- Our manufacturing team only receives the information needed to produce your order — name, shipping address, sizing, and design details
- We protect your data with the same security standards regardless of location
Cookies & Tracking
Cookies are small files that websites place on your device to remember information about your visit. We use cookies for these specific purposes:
- Essential cookies: Required for the website to function (login, cart, checkout). These can’t be disabled
- Performance cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site (Google Analytics)
- Functionality cookies: Remember your preferences and settings
- Marketing cookies: Used only if you’ve opted in — for showing relevant ads
How to Control Cookies

Despite these measures, no online system is completely secure. If we ever discover a security breach affecting your data, we will notify you promptly.
