Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Ashbury Threads ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our fashion website. As an affiliate site, we earn commissions when you click certain links and make purchases on third-party retailers. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and handling your data transparently. This policy was last updated in 2026.

Information We Collect

We collect information in a limited number of ways, described below. We only gather what is necessary to operate our site, understand our audience, and support our affiliate relationships.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function and remember your preferences. We use the following categories of cookies:

Essential cookies: Required for the website to work correctly, including page navigation, security, and remembering your cookie preferences. These cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.
Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our content — such as which style guides and product pages are most popular — so we can improve our site. These cookies collect aggregated, largely anonymized data.
Affiliate cookies: Set when you click an outbound link to one of our retail partners. They allow the retailer to attribute a resulting purchase to Ashbury Threads so we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. These cookies do not give us access to your payment details or purchase history.

You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings or our cookie preference controls. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Usage Data

We automatically collect information about how you use our site, such as the pages you view, the links you click, the time and date of your visit, referring website addresses, and the duration of your session. This usage data is used to analyze trends, measure the performance of our content, and enhance the browsing experience.

Device Information

When you visit Ashbury Threads, we may collect technical details about the device and connection you use, including your browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, general geographic location (derived from your IP address), and language settings. This helps us ensure our site displays correctly across devices and detect potential security issues.

Newsletter and Email Collection

You may choose to subscribe to our newsletter to receive fashion tips, curated collections, and promotional highlights. Providing your email address for this purpose is entirely optional and requires your explicit, opt-in consent.

We will only send newsletters to addresses that have actively subscribed.
Every email includes a clear "unsubscribe" link, allowing you to withdraw your consent and stop receiving messages at any time.
We use your email solely to deliver the newsletter you signed up for and never require it to browse the site.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above to:

Operate, maintain, and secure our website;
Analyze site traffic and improve our content and user experience;
Attribute qualifying affiliate purchases so we can earn commissions;
Send our newsletter to subscribers who have opted in;
Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

We Do Not Sell Your Data

Ashbury Threads does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share limited information with trusted service providers (such as analytics and email delivery platforms) strictly to operate our site, and with affiliate partners only in the form of anonymized referral identifiers needed to track commissions.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have specific rights over your personal data, and we honor these rights regardless of your location.

GDPR (European Economic Area, UK)

If you are located in the EEA or the UK, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data, as well as the right to data portability and the right to object to processing. Where we rely on consent — for example, for analytics cookies and our newsletter — you may withdraw that consent at any time. Our lawful bases for processing include your consent, our legitimate interest in operating and improving the site, and compliance with legal obligations.

CCPA (California)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used, the right to request deletion of your personal information, and the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. As noted above, we do not sell your personal information. You also have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any of these rights.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond to verified requests within the timeframes required by applicable law.

Data Retention and Security

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or to comply with legal requirements. We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

Third-Party Links

Our site contains affiliate and other links to third-party websites. Once you leave Ashbury Threads, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any retailer or website you visit, as we are not responsible for their practices.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any revisions will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
