Dearest Time-Traveling Shopper,

At Retro Pulse Shop (operating at decadebyclothing.com), we value your privacy as much as we cherish authentic 1920s beadwork and pristine 1950s silhouettes. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information with the same care we give to our vintage collections.

1. The Information We Collect

Like a meticulous vintage curator, we gather only what’s necessary to deliver your period-perfect purchases:

  • Personal Details: Your name, shipping address (temporal coordinates), email address, and phone number – just enough to ensure your vintage treasures find their way home.
  • Payment Information: Encrypted payment details when you purchase that perfect flapper dress or swing skirt (though we never store full card numbers, like proper 1920s bankers).
  • Style Preferences: Your browsing habits on our site help us recommend era-appropriate pieces you’ll adore.
  • Correspondence: Any messages sent through our speakeasy-style customer service channels.

2. How We Use Your Information

We handle your data with more care than a 1950s cashmere sweater:

  • To process your orders for vintage treasures across the decades
  • To provide customer service worthy of a bygone era’s personal touch
  • To improve our collection and website experience (like tailoring a perfect 1920s frock)
  • To send occasional updates about new arrivals – only if you’ve opted in to our newsletter
  • To prevent fraud with security measures even a Prohibition-era smuggler couldn’t bypass

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We’re more discreet than a 1920s speakeasy bouncer:

  • Shipping Partners: We share only necessary delivery information with our trusted couriers.
  • Payment Processors: Your payment details are handled by secure services (Visa, MasterCard, PayPal) with their own robust protections.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law – but only as a last resort, like revealing a secret jazz club location.
  • Never: We don’t sell your data to third parties. Your information isn’t for sale like a dime store novelty.

4. Data Storage & Security

We protect your information with security stronger than a 1950s girdle:

  • Industry-standard encryption for all sensitive data
  • Regular security audits of our systems
  • Limited employee access to personal information
  • Secure servers located in the United States

While we implement these robust measures, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure – just as no time-travel is completely without paradoxes.

5. Your Vintage Rights

You have rights over your personal data, as fundamental as the right to a perfect hemline:

  • Access: Request a copy of your personal data we hold
  • Correction: Update inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Deletion: Request removal of your personal data (with exceptions for legal requirements)
  • Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time
  • Complaints: Lodge concerns with relevant data protection authorities

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies – not the 1920s bakery kind, but digital ones that help:

  • Remember your preferences (like your favorite era)
  • Analyze site traffic to improve your shopping experience
  • Enable features like your shopping cart

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though some features may not work properly without them – like trying to Charleston without jazz music.

7. International Time-Travelers

While we serve customers globally (except certain Asian regions due to textile restrictions), your data is processed in the United States. By using our site, you consent to this transfer – like agreeing to proper care instructions for delicate vintage fabrics.

8. Policy Updates

We may update this policy occasionally – the date at the top will reflect changes. Continued use of our site means you accept updates, much like embracing new vintage finds while honoring classic styles.
