Legal bases (for visitors in the EU/UK): we process personal data based on your consent (for example, newsletter sign-up and non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (running and improving the Site, preventing spam), and legal obligations where they apply. You can withdraw consent at any time.

Third-Party Services

We work with trusted third parties who may collect information through the Site under their own privacy policies.

Google Analytics helps us understand site traffic. Google may use cookies to collect usage data. You can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising partners such as Google AdSense may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Learn more in Google’s advertising policies or manage settings at Google Ad Settings.
Pinterest and other social platforms may set cookies when you use a “Pin It” or share button, or when you arrive from their sites. Their use of your data is covered by their own privacy policies.
Embedded content (videos, images or posts from other sites) behaves as if you visited that site directly, and it may track your interaction.

Affiliate disclosure: Some links on the Site are affiliate links, including links to retailers and programs such as the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. The retailer may use cookies to track the referral. We never receive your payment details.

Newsletter and Emails

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your email address to send you new outfit ideas, style guides and occasional recommendations. Our email service provider stores your address on our behalf and may track whether emails are opened or links clicked.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every email, or by contacting us. We will never sell your email address.

Sharing, Retention and Security

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in these cases:

With service providers who help us run the Site, such as hosting, analytics, email and advertising partners.
When required by law, court order or to protect our rights, users or the public.
If the Site is sold or merged, in which case your information may transfer to the new owner under this policy.

How long we keep it: we keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Comments and their details may be kept indefinitely so we can approve follow-up comments automatically. Analytics data is kept according to our analytics provider’s retention settings.

Security: we use reasonable measures, such as secure (HTTPS) connections, to protect your information. No website is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

Access the personal information we hold about you.
Correct information that is inaccurate.
Delete your personal information.
Object to or restrict how we use it.
Receive a copy of your data in a portable format.
Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing.

EU, EEA and UK visitors (GDPR): you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

California and other US state residents (CCPA/CPRA and similar laws): you have the right to know what we collect, request deletion, and opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information for money, but some advertising cookies may count as “sharing” under these laws. You can opt out through our cookie settings or your browser’s Global Privacy Control signal. We will not treat you differently for using your rights.

To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity first and will respond within the time required by law.
