Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 14, 2026
This policy explains how Busy Thrifting handles information when you browse the clothing label archive or contact the site owner.
Information you provide
You can browse the archive without creating an account. If you use the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message. We use this information to respond to inquiries, address corrections, and handle requests to use website materials. Contact messages are stored in the website’s hosted storage and are accessible through a protected owner inbox; they are not published in the archive or automatically emailed.
Please do not include sensitive personal information in your message. Uploaded clothing label photos and archive notes are public content.
Hosting and owner sign-in
This website is hosted through ChatGPT Sites using Cloudflare infrastructure. Hosting and security providers may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser information, request details, and server logs to deliver and protect the website. Owner sign-in is handled by ChatGPT, and the site uses authenticated identity information to authorize access to uploads and the private inbox.
For information about these providers’ practices, see the OpenAI Privacy Policy and Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
Cookies and analytics
The site does not currently run Google AdSense or a separate analytics service. Hosting and authentication services may use cookies or similar technologies for security and sign-in. You can manage cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect sign-in or other functionality.
Advertising: future use
The Reselling Tools page contains Amazon affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, Busy Thrifting earns from qualifying purchases. Clicking a link takes you to Amazon, which may use cookies and the referral identifier under its own privacy policy. This site does not send contact-form information to Amazon. The site also includes a Shutterstock contributor referral link. If you follow it, Shutterstock may use the referral identifier to attribute your signup; its own privacy policy applies on its website. The homepage also displays a linked Torn game banner loaded from banners.torn.com. Loading this external image sends a request to that provider, which may receive technical information such as your IP address and browser information. Clicking the banner takes you to Torn, whose privacy practices apply on its website. Other advertising spaces remain placeholders. Google advertising code has not been enabled. If Google AdSense is activated, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s advertising cookies may enable Google and its partners to personalize ads based on visits across sites.
You can manage personalized Google advertising through My Ad Center and learn about participating advertising companies’ opt-out choices at AboutAds.info. See Google’s advertising information and how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Before advertising is enabled, this policy will be updated for the services actually used, and required consent choices will be provided. This policy itself does not enable advertising or collect consent.
Sharing and retention
Contact details are not published or used to create advertising audiences. Hosting providers process information needed to operate the site. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or necessary to protect the website and its users. Contact messages are kept for handling inquiries and maintaining correspondence; there is currently no automatic deletion schedule.
Your choices and requests
To ask about personal information you have submitted, request a correction or deletion, or raise a privacy concern, use the Contact Me page. Provide enough information to identify your earlier inquiry. Applicable privacy rights depend on your location and circumstances.
