Privacy policy
Effective date: [Insert date]
Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly — such as your name, email address, phone number, shipping and billing address, measurements and wedding date — as well as limited technical information collected automatically when you browse, such as device type, browser and pages viewed.
Account information
If you create an account, we store your contact details, saved addresses, saved measurements, wishlist and order history so you can access them on return visits. You can request that we update or delete this information at any time.
Order information
When you place an order we retain the items purchased, size or custom measurements, shipping details and order status so we can fulfil, ship, track and support the order, and so we can meet accounting and tax obligations.
Payment processing
Payments are handled by a third-party payment processor configured for this store. Card details are submitted directly to that processor and are not stored on our servers. We receive only confirmation of the transaction and limited identifying details such as the last four digits of the card.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep your bag and wishlist, remember preferences, secure the site and measure performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect site functionality.
Analytics
We may use analytics services to understand aggregate traffic and improve the store experience. These services process usage data on our behalf and may set their own cookies.
Marketing
If you subscribe to our newsletter or opt in during checkout, we may send you information about new collections, bridal inspiration and releases. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time.
Data security
We use industry-standard technical and organisational measures — including encrypted connections and restricted internal access — to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-party services
We share information only as needed with service providers who help us operate the store: payment processing, hosting, shipping and delivery, email delivery and analytics. These providers may only use the information to perform services for us.
Customer rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent for marketing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
International transfers
We operate from the United States and serve customers internationally. Where personal information is transferred outside your country, we take steps to ensure it remains protected in line with applicable law.
Children's privacy
Our store is not directed to children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date below will reflect the most recent version.
