Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information The Lingerie Shoppe collects when you use this website, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

• Usage and analytics data. We use analytics tools, including Google Analytics, to understand how the site is used. This typically includes pages viewed, approximate location (from your IP address), device and browser type, referring site, and general interaction data. Google Analytics sets cookies and similar identifiers to do this.
• Cookies and similar technologies. We and our providers use cookies for analytics and, where applicable, advertising. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings.
• Information you submit. If you use the submit-a-boutique form, we collect the details you enter about the boutique and, if you provide it, your email address so we can follow up.

Advertising

We may run advertising on this site, and we may advertise this site elsewhere. This can involve third-party ad networks, including Google, that use cookies and similar technologies to measure ad performance and to show relevant ads, which may include remarketing (showing you ads based on your past visits) across other websites. These networks may collect data about your visits here and on other sites.

Cookies and consent

When you first visit, non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising) are turned off by default. A banner lets you accept all, reject all, or choose which categories to allow, and your choice is remembered. We use Google Consent Mode, so our Google tags respect your selection and do not set analytics or advertising cookies unless you consent. Only cookies strictly necessary to run the site are used without consent.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer.

How we use information

We use the information to operate and improve the directory, to understand traffic and which content is useful, to respond to boutique submissions, and to measure and run advertising.

How information is shared

We do not sell your personal information. We share data with the service providers that help us run the site (for example analytics, advertising, and hosting providers), and we may disclose information if required by law.

Your choices

• Use the Cookie settings link in the footer to accept, reject, or change your analytics and advertising consent at any time.
• Manage or block cookies in your browser settings.
• Opt out of Google Analytics using Google's browser add-on, and manage ad personalization in your Google Ads settings.
• Under Canadian privacy law you may request access to, or correction of, personal information we hold about you. Email us to make a request.

Third-party links

We link to boutique websites, Google listings, and other resources. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we do not control.

Data retention and security

We keep submitted information only as long as needed to operate the directory, and we take reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Children

This site is intended for adults and is not directed at children.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The date above shows the latest version.
