Effective Date: August 12, 2025

At Collected and Polished, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

We will never sell, rent, or share your information with third parties except as necessary to complete your order (such as payment processors or shipping carriers) or if required by law.

Information We Collect

  • Order & Account Details: When you place an order, create an account, or contact us, we collect the information you provide (such as name, email, shipping address, and payment details).

  • Comments (if enabled): If you leave a comment, we collect the information you enter along with your IP address and browser details to help prevent spam.

  • Uploads: If you upload images, please avoid including location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors may be able to download and extract that information.

Cookies

We use cookies to make your browsing and shopping experience easier:

  • Login Cookies: To keep you signed in between visits.

  • Cart Cookies: To remember your shopping cart contents.

  • Preference Cookies: To save your display and site preferences.

These cookies do not store sensitive payment information and can be deleted in your browser at any time.

Embedded Content

Pages or products on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same as if you visited those sites directly and may collect data about you.

How Long We Keep Your Data

  • Orders: Retained for as long as required by tax and accounting laws.

  • Accounts: Retained until you delete your account or request removal.

  • Comments (if enabled): Retained indefinitely to help us recognize and approve follow-ups automatically.

You may request at any time:

  • A copy of the personal data we hold about you.

  • Corrections to your data.

  • Deletion of your data (except where we are legally required to keep it).

Where Your Data Is Sent

  • Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
