When you visit Petite Wardrobe, you trust us with a little information, even if it’s only the pages you read and the device you read them on. This policy explains what Petite Wardrobe collects, why we collect it, and what choices you have. By using petitewardrobe.com, you agree to the practices described here. If you don’t agree with them, please don’t use the site.
What We Collect and How It Reaches Us
Petite Wardrobe collects two kinds of information.
Information you give us directly (personally identifiable information):
- Your name and email address, when you fill in a contact form, leave a comment or join the newsletter
- Your phone number or mailing address, only if you choose to share them in a message
- Payment details, only if Petite Wardrobe ever offers a paid product. Payments would be handled by a third-party processor, and we would not store your card number
Information collected automatically:
- Your IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system and device type
- Internet service provider
- Date and time stamps of your visit
- Referring and exit pages, and the pages you viewed
This information reaches us through contact forms, comments, newsletter signups, any purchases, server log files, Google Analytics and cookies. Each of these is explained below.
Our Policy on Children Under 13
Petite Wardrobe is written for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you’re a parent or guardian and believe your child has given us personal information, email us at info@petitewardrobe.com and we will delete it promptly.
Comments and Social Media
When you leave a comment on Petite Wardrobe, we collect the name, email address and IP address you submit, along with the comment itself. Your name and comment are visible to other visitors. Your email address is not published.
If you follow, save or interact with Petite Wardrobe on Pinterest or another social platform, that platform collects its own data under its own policy. We may see public information such as your username and what you saved or commented on, but we don’t control how those platforms handle your data. Please read their policies before you share personal details there.
Cookies and Browser Settings
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. Petite Wardrobe uses them to remember your preferences, understand which posts are read most, keep the site working properly and support advertising.
You can refuse or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Each browser handles this slightly differently, so check its help section for instructions. Turning cookies off may affect how parts of the site work, such as comment forms.
Pixels, Tags and Web Beacons
Petite Wardrobe may use web beacons, pixels and tags. These are small pieces of code that tell us or our service providers whether a page or email was viewed. They help with analytics, measuring how content performs and, now or in the future, advertising. They typically work together with cookies, so blocking cookies can limit them.
Server Log Files
Like most websites, Petite Wardrobe uses log files. Our hosting provider records standard data each time a page is requested, including IP address, browser type, ISP, date and time stamps, and referring and exit pages. This data is not linked to information that identifies you personally. We use it to understand traffic, administer the site and detect problems or abuse.
Google Analytics
Petite Wardrobe uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as pages visited, time on site and the general region visitors come from. You can read how Google handles this data at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can also install Google’s browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Videos, Images and Other Embedded Content
Some posts on Petite Wardrobe may include embedded content from other websites, such as videos, pins, images or articles. Embedded content behaves the same way as if you had visited the original site. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed their own tracking and monitor how you interact with the content, including when you have an account and are logged in.
Advertising Partners
Petite Wardrobe may work with third-party advertising partners now or in the future. These partners may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to show ads based on your interests and your visits to this and other websites. Advertising partners have their own privacy policies, and Petite Wardrobe has no access to or control over the cookies they use.
You can opt out of many interest-based ads through the Network Advertising Initiative at https://optout.networkadvertising.org and the Digital Advertising Alliance at https://optout.aboutads.info. Opting out does not remove ads from the site. It means the ads you see are less likely to be based on your interests.
Affiliate Links and Amazon Associates
Some posts on Petite Wardrobe contain affiliate links to clothing, accessories and tailoring tools. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Petite Wardrobe participates in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate, Petite Wardrobe earns from qualifying purchases.
Affiliate links are always disclosed, and a commission never changes what we recommend. Affiliate partners may place cookies on your device to track the referral, and their policies govern how that data is used.
How Your Information Is Used
Petite Wardrobe uses the information it collects to:
- Operate, maintain and improve the site
- Understand which outfit guides and fit posts readers find helpful

Newsletter and Email Practices
If you join the Petite Wardrobe newsletter, we use your email address to send outfit ideas, new posts and occasional updates. We follow the CAN-SPAM Act: we identify our emails clearly, include a working physical or contact address where required, and honor unsubscribe requests promptly. Every email contains an unsubscribe link. You can also reply or write to info@petitewardrobe.com, and we’ll remove you.
Opting Out
You can opt out of Petite Wardrobe communications at any time. For emails, use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any message. For cookies, change your browser settings. For interest-based advertising, use the Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance links above. For anything else, email info@petitewardrobe.com and we’ll help.
Who We Share Information With
Petite Wardrobe does not sell your personal information for money. We may share information in these situations:
- With service providers that help us run the site, such as hosting, email delivery, analytics and security providers, who may use the information only to perform services for us
- With advertising and affiliate partners, as described above
- When the law requires it, or to respond to valid legal requests
- To protect the rights, safety or property of Petite Wardrobe, our visitors or others
- If Petite Wardrobe is sold, merged or transferred, in which case your information may transfer with it
Links to Other Websites
Petite Wardrobe links to retailers, brands and other websites. This policy applies only to petitewardrobe.com, not to those sites. Once you click through, the other site’s privacy practices apply, and we encourage you to read them.
How Long We Keep Your Data
Comments and their details are kept indefinitely so that follow-up comments can be recognized and moderated automatically. Contact form messages and emails are kept for as long as needed to respond to you and for our records. Newsletter data stays until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Analytics data is kept according to our settings with Google, and server logs are kept for a limited period by our host. You can request deletion at any time, subject to legal obligations.
Keeping Your Data Safe
Petite Wardrobe uses reasonable, industry-standard measures to protect your information, including secure hosting and access controls. No method of transmission or storage online is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe your interaction with the site is no longer secure, please contact us right away.
