Privacy Policy

What Information Free Assembly Collects

We collect three categories of information to provide you with accurate product recommendations and improve your experience exploring our women’s clothing collection.

Information You Provide Directly

When you sign up for our newsletter, contact us through our form, or interact with our site, you may share your email address, name, and any questions or preferences about Free Assembly styles. We use this to send updates about new arrivals, seasonal favorites, and wardrobe-building tips you’ve asked for.

Information We Collect Automatically

When you browse Free Assembly, our systems log technical details: your device type, browser, IP address, pages visited, time spent on each category, and which product links you click. This data helps us understand which collections resonate most—whether you’re drawn to our denim dresses or prefer barrel jeans—and refine our recommendations accordingly.

Information from Third Parties

As an Amazon Associates affiliate, we receive anonymous tracking data when you follow our product links to Amazon. This tells us which pieces from our collection generated clicks, but we never receive your Amazon purchase history or payment information. Analytics services like Google Analytics also provide aggregated insights about site traffic patterns, visitor geography, and popular content.

How We Use Your Information at Free Assembly

Every piece of data we collect serves a specific purpose in maintaining and improving our resource for everyday wardrobe essentials.

• To Provide Our Service: Displaying accurate product information, maintaining our category pages for women’s and men’s clothing, and ensuring links to Amazon work correctly.
• To Communicate With You: Responding to questions about sizing, fabric care, or style advice. Sending newsletters only to those who’ve opted in, featuring seasonal collections and outfit inspiration.
• To Improve Our Content: Analyzing which categories get the most attention—say, jackets versus sweaters—so we know where to expand our guidance. Understanding how visitors navigate from our homepage to specific products helps us refine our layout.
• To Maintain Affiliate Relationships: Tracking which Free Assembly products drive Amazon referrals so we can continue offering this curated selection without charging you directly.
• To Ensure Security: Monitoring for unusual activity, preventing spam submissions on our contact form, and protecting the site infrastructure.
• To Comply With Legal Requirements: Honoring your privacy rights under applicable laws, responding to valid legal requests, and maintaining records as required by consumer protection regulations.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies Free Assembly Uses

We rely on cookies and similar tools to remember your preferences and understand how people interact with our women’s clothing collection.

Essential Cookies

These keep the site functional—maintaining your session if you contact us, remembering basic settings, and ensuring pages load correctly. You cannot disable these without breaking core functionality.

Analytics Cookies

Google Analytics tracks anonymous usage patterns: which Free Assembly categories visitors explore most, average time spent reading our style guides, and how many people click through to Amazon product pages. This data is aggregated and never identifies you personally.

Advertising and Affiliate Cookies

When you click a Free Assembly product link, Amazon’s tracking cookie logs that referral so we can earn a commission if you purchase within their standard window. We also use cookies to track which content performs best, helping us decide whether to feature more denim skirts or expand our outerwear coverage.

How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Be aware that disabling analytics cookies won’t affect your experience, but blocking essential cookies may prevent the contact form or newsletter signup from working. Affiliate cookies are set by Amazon, not us—you can control those through Amazon’s own privacy settings or by opting out of interest-based ads via your browser or the Digital Advertising Alliance.

When Free Assembly Shares Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only in specific, limited circumstances necessary to operate our site and fulfill our legal obligations.

Service Providers

Third-party services help us deliver Free Assembly: our web hosting provider stores site files, our email service sends newsletters to subscribers, and Google Analytics processes usage data on our behalf. Each provider is contractually required to protect your information and use it only for the services they perform for us.

Affiliate Partners

When you click through to Amazon from a Free Assembly product page, Amazon receives your referral information (device type, time of click) so they can credit us for the referral. Amazon operates under its own privacy policy—we do not control or receive data about your Amazon browsing or purchases beyond the fact that a click occurred.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request; to enforce our Terms and Conditions; to protect our rights, property, or safety; or to prevent fraud or abuse.

Business Transfers

If Free Assembly is acquired, merged, or undergoes a similar transaction, your information may be transferred as part of that deal. We would notify you via email or a prominent site notice before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

How Free Assembly Protects Your Data

We implement industry-standard security measures to safeguard the information you share with us, though no online platform can guarantee absolute security.

Our site uses HTTPS encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers. Access to personal information—like newsletter subscriber lists or contact form submissions—is restricted to authorized personnel who need it to perform their roles. We regularly review and update our security practices to address emerging threats, and we work only with service providers who maintain comparable protections.

Despite these efforts, be aware that transmission over the internet carries inherent risks. If you believe your information has been compromised, contact us immediately at the address provided at the end of this policy.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you have specific rights regarding the personal information Free Assembly holds about you. Here’s what you can do and how the law applies.

Rights for All Visitors

Regardless of location, you can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in every email we send. You can also contact us to request deletion of your email address from our subscriber list or ask questions about how we handle your data.

GDPR Rights (European Economic Area, UK, Switzerland)

If you’re in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation gives you these rights:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Erasure (“Right to Be Forgotten”): Ask us to delete your data when it’s no longer needed for the purposes we collected it or when you withdraw consent.
• Restriction: Limit how we process your data in certain situations (e.g., while disputing its accuracy).
• Data Portability: Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
• Withdraw Consent: If we process data based on consent, you can revoke it anytime (though this won’t affect processing that already occurred).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe we’ve violated GDPR.

CCPA and CPRA Rights (California)

California residents have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act):

• Know: Request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we’ve collected, the sources, purposes, and third parties we share it with.
• Delete: Request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
• Correct: Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: We do not sell personal information. If our practices change, we’ll provide a clear opt-out mechanism.
• Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: We don’t collect sensitive personal information as defined by CPRA (e.g., Social Security numbers, precise geolocation, health data).
• Non-Discrimination: We won’t discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

VCDPA Rights (Virginia)

Virginia’s Consumer Data Protection Act grants you the right to:

• Confirm whether we process your personal data and access that data.
• Correct inaccuracies in your personal data.
• Delete personal data you provided.
• Obtain a copy of your data in a portable format.
• Opt out of targeted advertising, sale of personal data (we do not sell data), or profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects (we do not engage in such profiling).

CPA Rights (Colorado)

Colorado’s Privacy Act provides similar rights to Virginia’s, including access, correction, deletion, portability, and opt-out rights for targeted advertising, sale (which we don’t do), and certain profiling activities (which we don’t do).

CTDPA Rights (Connecticut)

Connecticut’s data privacy law mirrors Virginia’s and Colorado’s frameworks, granting you rights to access, correct, delete, obtain portable copies, and opt out of sale or targeted advertising (neither of which we engage in).

UCPA Rights (Utah)

Utah’s Consumer Privacy Act provides rights to access, delete, and opt out of sale or targeted advertising. As with other states, we do not sell your personal data.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights described above, email us at privacy@freeassemblyshop.com with your request. Include enough detail for us to identify your information (your email address if you’re a newsletter subscriber, or the nature of your contact if you submitted a form). We’ll respond within 30 to 45 days depending on the complexity of your request and applicable law. We may ask for verification—such as confirming the email address you provided—to protect against fraudulent requests.

You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. The agent must provide proof of authorization, and we may require you to verify your identity directly with us as well.

Children’s Privacy at Free Assembly

Our site is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. Free Assembly’s women’s and men’s clothing collections target adult consumers; our style guidance, sizing charts, and product recommendations assume an adult audience.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately using the details at the end of this policy. We will delete that information from our systems promptly upon verification.

This policy complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States and similar laws elsewhere that protect minors’ online privacy.

Third-Party Links on Free Assembly

Our site contains links to external websites—primarily product pages on Amazon, but occasionally other resources related to fashion, wardrobe care, or style inspiration. Once you click a link and leave Free Assembly, you are subject to that site’s privacy policy, not ours.

We do not control Amazon’s data practices, cookie usage, or how they handle your purchases. Amazon operates as a separate entity with its own privacy commitments. Similarly, if we reference other fashion blogs, fabric care guides, or brand resources, those sites have their own privacy policies.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit through our links, especially before providing personal information. Free Assembly is not responsible for the content, practices, or policies of third-party websites.

International Data Transfers

Free Assembly operates in the United States, and our servers and service providers are primarily U.S.-based. If you access our site from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the U.S., where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

For visitors from the European Economic Area, UK, or Switzerland: we rely on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission when transferring data to service providers outside the EEA. These clauses provide legally binding protections for your personal data. By using our site, you consent to this transfer and understand that U.S. law may not offer the same level of protection as your local regulations, though we maintain robust safeguards regardless of where data is processed.

If you have concerns about international transfers, you can exercise your GDPR rights (including objection) as outlined in the Your Privacy Rights section above.

How Long Free Assembly Retains Your Data

We keep your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or to comply with legal obligations.

• Newsletter Subscribers: Your email address remains in our system until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Once you opt out, we remove you from active lists within 30 days but may retain a record that you unsubscribed to honor that preference.
• Contact Form Submissions: We retain inquiries for up to two years to reference past conversations and improve our customer service. After that, we delete or anonymize the data unless you’ve requested ongoing communication.
• Analytics Data: Google Analytics retains aggregated, anonymized data for 26 months by default. This data cannot identify you individually and helps us understand long-term trends in how visitors use our women’s clothing guides and product pages.
• Legal and Compliance Records: If we’re required to retain information to comply with tax law, respond to legal claims, or meet regulatory requirements, we’ll keep only what’s necessary for that purpose and delete it once the obligation expires.

You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us. We’ll honor that request unless we have a legitimate legal reason to retain it (e.g., an ongoing dispute or regulatory requirement).

Email Communications from Free Assembly

We send emails only to those who’ve explicitly opted in by subscribing to our newsletter or contacting us with a question that requires a response.

What We Send

Our newsletter features new arrivals in the Free Assembly collection, seasonal style tips, outfit inspiration using our versatile wardrobe pieces, and occasional updates about site improvements. We do not send promotional emails for third-party brands or unrelated products—everything we share connects directly to the clothing and accessories we feature.

How to Unsubscribe

Every email includes an unsubscribe link in the footer. Click it, and you’ll be removed from our list within a few business days. You can also email us at contact@freeassemblyshop.com with “Unsubscribe” in the subject line.

Transactional Emails

If you submit a question through our contact form, we’ll reply via email to answer your inquiry. These are one-time responses, not marketing emails, and you won’t be added to our newsletter list unless you separately opt in.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal that requests websites not track your activity. Currently, there is no universal standard for how sites should respond to DNT signals, and web browsers and industry groups have not reached a consensus.

At this time, Free Assembly does not alter its data collection or tracking practices in response to DNT signals. We honor opt-out requests made directly through cookie settings, privacy tools like the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page, or by contacting us to exercise your privacy rights under applicable law.

If a clear, enforceable DNT standard emerges, we will update our practices accordingly and revise this policy to reflect that change.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, new legal requirements, or improvements to how we protect your data. When we make material changes—such as introducing a new type of data collection or significantly altering how we share information—we’ll notify you by posting a prominent notice on our homepage or sending an email to newsletter subscribers.

The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially if you’re a regular visitor to our women’s clothing guides or if you’ve subscribed to updates. Continued use of Free Assembly after an update means you accept the revised terms.

If you disagree with a change, you can stop using the site and request deletion of your data by contacting us before the new policy takes effect.
