Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

At Urban Canopy Shop ("we," "us," or "our"), your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit urbancanopyshop.com (the "Site"). By using our Site, you agree to the practices described below. Urban Canopy Shop is an affiliate website covering fashion content, recommendations, and curated style guides.

1. Information We Collect

We collect limited information to operate the Site, improve your browsing experience, and provide relevant fashion content. The categories of information we collect include:

1.1 Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to recognize your device and store certain information. Cookies fall into three main categories on our Site:

Essential cookies: Required for the Site to function correctly, such as remembering your cookie consent choices, maintaining session security, and enabling core navigation features. These cookies cannot be disabled.
Analytics cookies: Used to understand how visitors interact with our pages, including which articles and product recommendations are most popular, average time on page, and traffic sources. We use this data in aggregate to improve content quality.
Affiliate cookies: When you click an outbound link to a partner retailer, an affiliate cookie may be set by that retailer to attribute any resulting purchase to Urban Canopy Shop. These cookies allow us to earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. We do not control the content or behavior of cookies set by third-party retailers.

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies at any time through your browser settings or our cookie consent banner.

1.2 Usage Data

We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Site, such as pages viewed, links clicked, referring URLs, search queries entered on our Site, and timestamps of your visit. This information helps us understand user interests and refine our fashion editorial.

1.3 Device and Technical Information

We may collect technical data about the device you use to access the Site, including IP address (typically anonymized), browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, device type (desktop, mobile, tablet), and approximate geographic region. This information is used for security, troubleshooting, and to optimize the Site's display across devices.

1.4 Newsletter Email Collection

Subscribing to our newsletter is entirely optional. If you choose to join, we will ask for your email address and will only send you communications after you have provided explicit consent. Our newsletter includes fashion trend updates, seasonal style guides, and curated product picks. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of any email or contacting us directly. We do not require you to subscribe in order to access any content on the Site.

2. How We Use Information

The information we collect is used for the following purposes:

To operate, maintain, and secure the Site
To analyze visitor behavior and improve content, layout, and navigation
To track affiliate referrals and ensure accurate commission attribution
To send newsletter communications to subscribers who have opted in
To comply with legal obligations and prevent fraudulent activity

3. No Sale or Trade of Personal Data

Urban Canopy Shop does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration. We do not engage in cross-context behavioral advertising in exchange for compensation. Your data is used solely to support the operation and improvement of our Site and the services described in this policy.

4. Third-Party Services and Affiliate Partners

Our Site contains links to third-party retailers and may use third-party services for analytics and content delivery. When you click an affiliate link and visit an external retailer, that retailer's privacy policy will apply to any data they collect. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any third-party site you visit. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external websites.
