Privacy Statement

SECTION 1 – INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you make a purchase from Ochre Threads, we collect personal information you provide, such as your name, email address, and shipping details. We may also automatically collect data like your IP address and browser type to help us understand how our website is used.

With your permission, we may send you emails about Ochre Threads’ products, promotions, and special offers.

SECTION 2 – CONSENT
By providing personal information to complete a purchase, verify payment, or arrange delivery, you consent to its collection and use for that purpose. For other uses, such as marketing, we will ask for your explicit consent.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at ochre.threads@outlook.com.

SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE
We may disclose your information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 – PLATFORM AND PAYMENT
Our store is hosted on Squarespace, which provides the e-commerce platform we use to sell our products. Your data is stored securely through Squarespace’s servers.

Payment information is encrypted and processed according to PCI-DSS standards. We retain purchase information only as long as necessary to complete transactions. For details, see Squarespace’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Third-party providers, such as payment gateways, only access your information as needed to provide their services. These providers may have their own privacy policies, which you should review. Some providers may operate in other countries, meaning your data could be subject to foreign laws.

Once redirected to a third-party site, our Privacy Statement no longer applies.

SECTION 6 – SECURITY
We follow industry best practices to protect your information from misuse, loss, or unauthorized access. Credit card data is encrypted using SSL and AES-256 encryption. While no method is 100% secure, we comply with PCI-DSS and other accepted standards.

SECTION 8 – AGE REQUIREMENT
By using this site, you confirm you are of legal age in your jurisdiction or have consent from a parent/guardian for minors.

SECTION 9 – CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
