Privacy Policy

I take the protection of your data and security very seriously.

In order to operate in line with GDPR legislation, all subscribers and visitors to the site should be aware of how we collect and store data. GDPR stands for General Data Processing Regulation.

We will not pass on your details to any third parties.

We currently use any data you provide as subscribers to our list of Thrift Lovers, whereby an email is sent out no more than twice a month. More often this averages to around one per month and sometimes less.

This must be signed up for via the site or Mailchimp and subscribers are to be aware that this information is used to send out articles, newsletters and any special offers I think you might be interested in, which is specific to what I do at ThriftVIP®.

Please note: You must be 18 years of age or over to purchase via the site or to subscribe.

Information must be freely given by you (subscribers) and in doing so you understand clearly what it is you are signing up for (see above). This must be done by you in an informed and unambiguous manner, as laid out in this privacy policy. By subscribing, you give consent to use your email address for such purposes.

I use Mailchimp to send out to our subscribers. Please see the information below for further reading:

Understand Individual Rights

"All MailChimp users can access their MailChimp lists to correct or update information upon the request of their subscribers. Your contacts can continue to update their own data, too, by contacting us or updating their preferences in any email they receive from you."

If for some reason any susbcribers are unable to update their preferences via an email they receive from us, please contact us via our contact form on the site with the changes you'd like to make.

Comments on the site...

I have public articles on my website. Any information you include in a comment on our blog may be read, collected and used by anyone. If your personal information appears on articles and you want it removed, CONTACT me. If I am unable to remove your information, I will tell you why.

Certain features on the site may collect information about your IP address and which page you are visiting on the Website, and they may set a cookie to make sure the feature functions properly. For example, social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on the Website.

I also maintain presences on social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Any information, communications, or materials you submit via a social media platform is done at your own risk without any expectation of privacy. I cannot control the actions of other users of these platforms or the actions of the platforms themselves. Your interactions with those features and platforms are governed by the privacy policies of the companies that provide them.

If you have any concerns about privacy or security you should contact your service provider. Always look for the 'lock' symbol in the URL of any websites you visit. Stay safe.

Please note: I may update this privacy policy at any time so please check back for the latest policy overview.
