Privacy Policy
At DearHarlow, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our customers and their personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect the information that you provide to us through our website.
This Privacy Policy covers any Personal Information we obtain when you visit our website, use our services, or access the features on any websites that we own or control (today or in the future), including www.dearharlow.co (collectively, the “Site”). You can access the Site in many ways, including from a computer or mobile phone, and this Privacy Policy will apply regardless of the means of access. This Privacy Policy also governs the use of Personal Information we obtain from you from any third party site or application where we post content or invite your feedback or participation, including, but not limited to, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

The information we collect from you is used to process your orders, improve our customer service, and provide you with information about our products and services. We may also use your information to send you promotional emails and advertisements about our products and services.
Security and Retention of Your Information
Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security.” In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.
How long we retain your personal information depends on different factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce other applicable contracts and policies.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. We also regularly monitor our systems for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.
We use methods to protect your Personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. While we consider these policies and procedures to be adequate, there is still a risk that your Personal Information could be misappropriated. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your Personal Information. If you have any questions about security on the site, contact us at dearharlow.co@gmail.com
