- Prevent fraud
- Maintain website security
- Understand basic website usage

Payment providers may also set cookies necessary for secure payment processing. For example, Stripe-supported payment services may use payment and session cookies.
You may configure your browser to block or delete cookies. However, blocking necessary cookies may prevent the cart, account, or checkout from functioning correctly.
5. Customer Accounts
Customers may create an account to view orders, manage addresses, and access available account features.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login information. Contact us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.
Some order information may remain in our records even after an account is deleted when retention is necessary for accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, dispute, or legal purposes.
6. How Long We Keep Information
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
Retention periods may vary based on the type of information:
- Shopping-cart and session information may be retained temporarily.
- Failed, cancelled, or abandoned orders may be retained for fraud prevention, troubleshooting, and recordkeeping.
- Customer accounts may remain active until deleted or considered inactive.
- Completed order and transaction records may be retained for up to seven years, or longer when required for tax, accounting, dispute, or legal purposes.
- Customer-support communications may be retained while an issue remains relevant.
- Security logs may be retained for a reasonable period to detect and investigate abuse.
The IRS explains that retention periods vary according to the document and underlying transaction, so records may need to be kept beyond a single standard period.

To submit a privacy request, email:
Include the email address associated with your account or order. We may ask you to verify your identity before completing a request.
WooCommerce and WordPress provide administrative tools for exporting and erasing eligible personal data associated with an email address.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information.
However, no website, internet transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Customers should use unique passwords and protect access to their email and account credentials.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended for general audiences and purchasers capable of entering into transactions. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without legally required parental authorization.
If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
Federal children’s privacy requirements can apply to websites directed to children under 13 or operators with actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information from a child under 13.
10. Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, availability, or content of third-party sites.
Review the privacy policies of any third-party service before providing personal information.
Collection-sale submissions and photos
When you use our Sell Your Collection form, we collect the contact information, city or ZIP code, collection description, asking price, payout preference, seller notes, and photographs that you choose to submit. We use this information only to evaluate the collection, communicate an offer, arrange an approved purchase, issue store credit when selected, prevent fraud, and maintain related business records.
Collection photographs are stored in a restricted area of our website and are available only to authorized staff through the WordPress administration area. They are not intended to be public media-library content. Leads that do not result in a transaction may be deleted when they are no longer needed. Records supporting a completed purchase or store-credit transaction may be retained with our accounting and tax records for the periods described above.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our website, business, services, or legal obligations change.
The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
