The RustiChic (the “Company”) is committed to protecting the privacy of its users. This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand what information is gathered, how it’s used, what is done to protect it. It can assist you in making informed decisions when using my website.

In addition, by using my Service, you are accepting the policies and practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Each time you visit my website, or use the Service, and any time you voluntarily provide me with information, you agree that you are consenting to my collection, use and disclosure of the information that you provide, and you are consenting to receive emails or otherwise be contacted, as described in this Privacy Policy.

Whether or not you register or create any kind of account with me, this Privacy Policy applies to all users of the website and the Service.

Affiliate Links

This website contains affiliate links, through which I may earn a small commission if you choose to purchase. This is done with no additional cost to you.

I do not store any information on this website regarding affiliate purchases.

Information Collected

Both “Non-Personal Information” and “Personal Information” may be collected about you.

“Non-Personal Information” includes information that cannot be used to personally identify you. This includes anonymous usage data, general demographic information, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, preferences you submit and preferences that are generated based on the data you submit and number of clicks.

“Personal Information” includes information that can be used to personally identify you, such as your name, address and email address.

Use of and Sharing Information

Personal Information:
Your Personal Information is never sold or traded with third parties.

Your Personal Information may be shared with vendors and other third-party providers who are performing services for the Company. In general, the vendors and third-party providers used by me will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide for the Company.

For example, if you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery, or return a purchase, you consent to our collecting and using such personal information for that specific purpose, including by transmitting such information to my vendors (and their service providers) performing these services for the Company.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment processors, have their own privacy policies in respect of the information that is required to provide to them in order to use their services.

For these third-party service providers, I recommend that you read their privacy policies so that you can understand the manner in which your Personal Information will be handled by such providers.

In addition, your Personal Information may be disclosed if required to do so by law or if you violate the Terms of Use.

Non-Personal Information:
In general, Non-Personal Information is used to help improve the Service and customize the user experience.

Non-Personal Information is aggregated in order to track trends and analyze use patterns of the Service.

This Privacy Policy does not limit in any way the use or disclosure of Non-Personal Information. I reserve the right to use and disclose such Non-Personal Information to partners, advertisers and other third parties at my sole discretion.

Comments and Social Media

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so I can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

When you leave a comment, your name, email address and website/organization name is not shared with a third party and may be used to communicate with you.

Social media accounts and sharing options are available on this site. Social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.) can track your personal information.

Should you choose to interact with me on social media, please note that you will be voluntarily disclosing that personal information. This information is no longer private. It becomes public information and can be collected and used by others.

I have no control over and take no responsibility for the use, storage or dissemination of such publicly disclosed personal information by you. Any interactions via comments and social media with me do not subject me to any kind of liability related to misuse of your information by others.
