Privacy Policy

The Tithing Thrifters respects the privacy of our customers and website visitors. This section explains the types of information we may collect, why we collect it, and how it may be used in connection with our website and business.

INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT

When you use our website, place an order, submit a Contact form, upload photographs, subscribe to communications, arrange a pickup, or otherwise interact with TTT, we may receive information you voluntarily provide, including your:

Name • Email Address • Phone Number • Billing Information • Order Information • Pickup Information • Messages and Inquiries • Photographs and Information Submitted About Potential Donations

Payment information may be processed through third-party payment processors or ecommerce providers. TTT does not necessarily receive or store your complete payment-card information.

Our website and the services used to operate it may also automatically collect certain technical information, such as device or browser information, IP address, website activity, cookies, or similar data used for security, functionality, analytics, or website performance.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

Information collected through our website may be used to:

Process and manage orders; communicate about purchases; coordinate local pickup or available delivery; respond to questions and customer-service requests; review potential donations and Good Bones submissions; review photographs submitted through our Contact form; maintain business and transaction records; prevent fraud or misuse; improve our website and services; send communications you have requested or agreed to receive; and comply with applicable legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory requirements.

PHOTOS & DONATION SUBMISSIONS

Photographs submitted through our Contact form may be reviewed by TTT for the purpose of evaluating furniture, large items, Good Bones pieces, or other potential donations.

Submitting photographs does not guarantee that an item will be accepted.

Please avoid including sensitive personal information, identification documents, financial information, or people in photographs unless reasonably necessary for your inquiry.

HOW INFORMATION MAY BE SHARED

TTT does not sell customer personal information as part of our ordinary business operations.

We may share information with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate our business—for example, website and ecommerce providers, payment processors, email or communication services, technology providers, delivery providers when applicable, professional advisers, or other vendors assisting with an order or requested service.

We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, government request, or when reasonably necessary to protect TTT, our customers, or others from fraud, misuse, or harm.

Third-party providers may process information according to their own terms and privacy practices.

COOKIES & WEBSITE TECHNOLOGY

Our website or third-party services used to operate it may use cookies and similar technologies to provide website functionality, remember preferences, understand website activity, maintain security, and improve performance.

Your browser may allow you to limit or block certain cookies. Disabling cookies may affect some website functions.

EMAIL & MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

If you choose to subscribe to promotional emails or other marketing communications from TTT, we may use the contact information you provide to send those communications.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe option included in applicable messages.

Transactional or service-related communications—such as order confirmations, pickup information, responses to inquiries, or other communications necessary to complete a transaction—may still be sent when appropriate.

INFORMATION SECURITY

TTT takes reasonable steps appropriate to our business to protect information in our possession. However, no website, electronic transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Customers should not send passwords, Social Security numbers, complete payment-card information, or other highly sensitive information through our general Contact form.

INFORMATION RETENTION

TTT may retain customer, order, inquiry, donation-submission, and related business records for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the information was collected, maintain appropriate business and tax records, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, or comply with applicable legal requirements.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Our website and online store are intended for a general audience and are not directed toward children under 13. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information online from children under 13.

If we become aware that information from a child under 13 was submitted without appropriate authorization, we may take reasonable steps to delete it as appropriate.

PRIVACY QUESTIONS

Questions or concerns regarding information you have submitted to TTT may be sent through our Contact page.
