Privacy Policy

Welcome to BudgetChicStyle.com! I’m thrilled you’re here to explore affordable fashion and accessories. As a mom running this site to share budget-friendly style tips (and support my son’s therapies), I value your trust. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our site. It’s written to be clear and straightforward, so let’s dive in!

Last Updated: April 23, 2025

1. What Information Do We Collect?

When you browse BudgetChicStyle.com, we collect some basic data to make your experience better and keep the site running smoothly. Here’s what we gather:

• Non-Personal Information: Things like your IP address, browser type (e.g., Chrome or Safari), device type, and pages you visit. We use tools like Google Analytics to track this anonymously—it helps us understand what content you love!
• Cookies and Tracking: Small files (cookies) are stored on your device to remember your preferences, show relevant ads, or track clicks on affiliate links (e.g., Amazon India or Flipkart). You can manage cookies in your browser settings.
• Voluntary Information: If you sign up for our newsletter or contact us via email (budgetchicstyle@gmail.com), we collect your name and email address. Don’t worry—we don’t spam!

2. How Do We Use Your Information?

We use your data to improve BudgetChicStyle.com and bring you the best budget fashion deals. Specifically, we:

• Analyze site traffic (via Google Analytics) to create better content, like “Top 10 Budget Kurtis for Diwali.”
• Personalize your experience with tailored deals or ads (e.g., showing you ₹500 dresses you might like).
• Process affiliate link clicks to earn commissions, which help fund the site and my son’s therapies.
• Send occasional newsletters (only if you opt in) with style tips and exclusive deals.

3. Do We Share Your Information?

Your privacy matters to us! We don’t sell or rent your personal data. However, we share limited info with trusted third parties to run the site:

• Affiliate Partners: When you click links to Amazon India, Flipkart, or other partners, they may use cookies to track purchases. This doesn’t share personal details like your name.
• Analytics Providers: Google Analytics collects anonymous data to help us understand site performance.
• Ad Networks: If we use Google AdSense (after hitting 500+ visitors), ads may use cookies to show relevant content.
• Legal Requirements: We may share data if required by law, like under India’s DPDP Act, 2023, but only when necessary.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies help BudgetChicStyle.com work better and show you deals you’ll love. Here’s what they do:

• Essential Cookies: Keep the site functioning (e.g., remembering your session).
• Analytics Cookies: Track which pages you visit (anonymously) to improve our content.
• Advertising Cookies: Help show ads or track affiliate clicks (e.g., for a ₹300 pair of earrings).

You can disable cookies in your browser, but some features (like personalized deals) might not work as well. Check our Cookie Policy for more details (coming soon).

5. Your Rights and Choices

You’re in control of your data! Under India’s DPDP Act, 2023, and GDPR (for EU visitors), you can:

• Request access to the data we have about you (e.g., your newsletter email).
• Ask us to correct or delete your data.
• Opt out of newsletters by clicking “unsubscribe” in any email.
• Disable cookies via your browser settings.

To exercise these rights, email us at budgetchicstyle@gmail.com. We’ll respond within 30 days.

6. Data Security

We take security seriously. Your data is protected with industry-standard measures (e.g., secure hosting via Hostinger). However, no website is 100% secure, so we recommend avoiding sharing sensitive info like passwords or credit card details.

7. Third-Party Links

BudgetChicStyle.com includes links to third-party sites like Amazon India and Flipkart. These sites have their own privacy policies, which we don’t control. Please review them before shopping!

8. Children’s Privacy

Our site isn’t designed for kids under 13. We don’t knowingly collect data from children. If you’re a parent and think we’ve collected your child’s info, contact us at budgetchicstyle@gmail.com, and we’ll remove it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as BudgetChicStyle.com grows (e.g., adding a newsletter form). Changes will be posted here with the “Last Updated” date. Check back occasionally to stay informed!
