How to use this. Paste the block below into your store's privacy policy (a “Third-party services” or “Fraud prevention” section is a natural home), or link to it from there. The block already uses this site's live URL (https://www.flokte.com). Keep the link to Flokte's Privacy Policy reachable from your policy. There are several versions below; the app's Settings page shows the one that matches your current settings.
If your store takes part in the Flokte network (the default)
Use this version. It tells your customers that their return history is combined across participating stores into one shared tier and score.
Return-behaviour analysis. We use Flokte, a third-party service, to help prevent return fraud and abuse. Flokte receives your order history and return history from our store — including your name, email, and address as you provided them; order dates and amounts; and return dates, reasons, and outcomes.
Shared score. Flokte also runs a shared return-behaviour score across the stores that use it. If you shop at more than one of those stores with the same email address, Flokte combines your order and return history from those stores into one tier and score, which each of those stores can see. Flokte is responsible for this shared score. You can ask Flokte to show you this data, correct it, or stop the cross-store scoring at https://www.flokte.com/privacy/requests.
Flokte uses this data only to assess return-behaviour patterns. It does not use it for advertising and does not sell it. Based on this assessment, we may offer rewards to customers with good-faith return histories, or place a restriction on accounts with patterns consistent with return abuse. A restriction can mean that new orders from the account are cancelled and refunded. This is not a credit check and does not affect your credit.
A member of our team reviews any restriction before it applies, and you can contest it. To ask why a restriction was applied or to dispute one, see Flokte's "Why was I flagged?" page at https://www.flokte.com/for-shoppers, or contact us.
If you have turned the Flokte network off
Use this version instead. Your store is scored on its own data only and your data is not used for any other store.

If you have turned on order messages
Use one of these instead. The first is for stores in the Flokte network, the second for stores that turned it off.

Flokte receives your order history and return history from our store — including your name, email, and address as you provided them; order dates and amounts; and return dates, reasons, and outcomes.
Order messages. We also use Flokte to send you messages about your orders on our behalf: an order confirmation, a check when an order looks like a duplicate, or a request to complete your shipping address. For this Flokte uses your phone number or email address and your order details, and records your reply, including the IP address and browser you used. If you dispute a payment, we may use this record as evidence.

What you still need to do
- Acknowledge the in-app data-use disclosure before ingestion begins.
- If you change the Flokte network or order message settings later, swap the text in your policy for the matching version.
- Sign the Data Processing Agreement.
- Make sure your policy's “your rights” section points customers to a way to reach you with requests — Flokte routes shopper requests about your store's data back to you, and answers requests about the shared score itself.
