🔒 Privacy Policy
Hey there, fellow treasure hunter!
Your privacy is important to us, and we’re committed to protecting your personal information like it’s a rare first edition. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it — no confusing legal waffle, just clear info you can trust.
Last updated: 23 May 2025
🧭 Who We Are
Lit Treasure Trove is a cosy online space run by two book-loving humans — Jasmine and Emma — where we share stories, sparkle, and the occasional sassy reading list. If you have questions, email us at littreasuretrove@gmail.com.
📚 What We Collect (and Why)
Here’s what we might collect when you hang out with us:
1. Info You Give Us
- Name & email address – if you sign up for our newsletter, leave a comment, or contact us.
- Shop-related details – when we launch the shop, we’ll collect the necessary info to process orders (billing/shipping address, payment details etc).
Why? So we can reply, say thanks, send you bookish goodies, and make the site run smoothly.
2. Info We Collect Automatically
Like many websites, we use cookies and analytics to gather:
- IP address
- Browser type/device info
- Which pages you visited and for how long
Why? It helps us see what you’re loving (or not), so we can improve the site and share more of the good stuff.
🍪 Cookies
Not the edible kind (unfortunately). These little files help our site remember who you are and what you like.
You can accept or decline cookies through your browser settings, but declining may make some features a bit grumpy.
📬 Email & Newsletter
If you sign up for our newsletter, we’ll send you the latest reviews, lists, and bookish gems — never spam, promise. You can unsubscribe any time by clicking the link in the email.
🛍️ Shopping Privacy (Coming Soon)
When the shop opens, we’ll collect just enough info to complete your purchase safely and efficiently. Your payment details will be handled securely via a trusted payment processor — we never store your card information ourselves.
💬 Comments & Interactions
If you leave comments, we may collect your name and email (if provided) to keep conversations friendly and spam-free. We use anti-spam tools, which may also check your IP address and browser info.
🕵️♀️ Who We Share Your Info With
Short answer: no one, unless we’re legally required to.
We may use trusted third-party services (like email platforms, payment processors, and analytics tools) — but they only get the info they absolutely need to do their job.
🌍 Your Data Rights (Especially if You’re in the UK/EU)
You have the right to:
- See what data we have about you
- Ask us to correct or delete it
- Withdraw consent at any time
Just email us at littreasuretrove@gmail.com and we’ll sort it.
🛡️ How We Keep Your Data Safe
We take reasonable steps to protect your data using secure systems and trusted providers. That said, no website is 100% foolproof — if we ever discover a data breach, we’ll let you know straight away.
🔄 Changes to This Policy
We may update this page as our site grows and evolves. We’ll post the new version here and update the date above so you always know what’s what.
