Who We Are
AOK T-Shirts is an independent apparel brand operating at aoktshirts.com. We design and sell print-on-demand apparel through platforms including Etsy and other e-commerce providers.
Information We Collect
We collect only the information necessary to operate our business:
- Information You Provide: Name and email address (e.g., when contacting us), and order-related information when purchasing through third-party platforms.
- Automatically Collected Data: Basic web server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) for performance and security.
- Third-Party Platforms: When you interact with our products through third-party services (e.g., Etsy, Pinterest), those platforms may collect and process your data according to their own privacy policies. We do not control or store personal data collected directly by these platforms unless you contact us separately.
Pinterest API
AOK T-Shirts uses the Pinterest API to manage and schedule pins related to our product collections. This integration accesses only our own Pinterest business account, does not store or process Pinterest user data, and is used solely for content publication and analytics of our own account. Pinterest's own privacy policy governs your use of Pinterest.com.

- Respond to inquiries and provide customer support
- Monitor and improve website performance
- Fulfill orders through third-party fulfillment providers
