At US Vintage Clothing Sales, we value your trust as much as we value authentic vintage craftsmanship. Just as we carefully curate our collection of 90s denim jackets, 80s graphic tees, and other rare finds, we apply the same meticulous care to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit usvintageclothing.com.
1. Information We Collect
To provide our global community of vintage enthusiasts with seamless service, we may collect:
- Personal Details: Name, email address, shipping/billing address, and phone number when you make a purchase
- Payment Information: Credit/debit card details (processed securely through PCI-compliant systems) or PayPal account information
- Transaction Data: Purchase history, items viewed, and other shopping behavior
- Technical Information: IP address, browser type, device information, and cookies (see Section 6)
- Communications: Emails or messages sent to our vintage-obsessed customer service team
2. How We Use Your Information
Like the perfect vintage Levi’s 501s, we believe in form meeting function. Your data helps us:
- Process transactions and ship your vintage treasures worldwide
- Provide customer support for authentication questions or payment issues
- Improve our website and curate better vintage collections
- Send order confirmations and shipping updates (no spam, just the essentials)
- Prevent fraud and maintain security (with the same vigilance we use to authenticate vintage pieces)
- Comply with legal requirements (like customs declarations for international shipments)
3. Data Sharing & Disclosure
We treat your data like rare vintage finds – with care and limited access:
- Service Providers: Trusted partners who help with payment processing (Visa/MasterCard/PayPal), shipping, and website operations
- Legal Compliance: When required by law or to protect our rights (like authenticating a disputed transaction)
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition (though our vintage values would remain)
We never sell your personal information to third-party marketers.
4. Data Storage & Security
We protect your data with the same dedication we apply to preserving vintage fabrics:
- 256-bit SSL encryption for all transactions (like the secure checkout you’ve experienced)
- PCI-DSS compliant infrastructure for payment processing
- No stored payment data – we only keep what’s necessary for orders
- Regular security audits and 24/7 fraud monitoring
- Data stored on secure servers with limited access
While we implement industry-standard protections, no online transmission is 100% secure. We recommend using strong passwords and monitoring your account activity.
5. Your Rights & Choices
You have control over your information, just like you have an eye for vintage style:
- Access/Update: Review or edit your account information anytime
- Deletion: Request removal of personal data (subject to legal requirements)
- Marketing Preferences: Opt-out of promotional emails (though our newsletters often feature rare finds)
- Data Portability: Request a copy of your data in machine-readable format
To exercise these rights, contact our team at [email protected].
6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Like the tags on our vintage pieces, cookies help us identify and remember preferences:
- Essential Cookies: Required for checkout and account functions
- Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how collectors browse our inventory
- Preference Cookies: Remember your currency/language settings
You can manage cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work properly without them.
7. International Data Transfers
As we ship vintage treasures worldwide (except parts of Asia and remote areas), your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States. We ensure all transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.
8. Children’s Privacy
Our vintage collections are meant for enthusiasts ages 13+. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
9. Policy Updates
Like vintage fashion trends, our policy may evolve. We’ll notify you of significant changes and always post the latest version here.
