Aubaine Archive is an independent site based in Connecticut, USA. Post: 206 Elm St #200277, New Haven, CT 06511. Questions or requests: inquiries@aubainearchive.com.
The short version
You don't need an account. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies, we don't sell or share your personal information, and we collect your email address only if you give it to us.
What stays on your device
Saved pieces, saved searches, boards and preferences are stored in your own browser. They're never sent to us, and clearing your browser data removes them.
What we collect
- Email signups. If you sign up for The Edit or a waitlist, we keep your email address and the date you signed up, to send you that email. You confirm by email first. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe, and we keep your address until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
- Messages and reports. If you email us or report a problem with a listing, we keep what you send so we can reply and fix things, for up to two years.
- Anonymous counts. When you open a listing, save a piece or click through to a seller, we log the action, the listing and your device type (phone or computer). We don't log your search words, IP address or anything that identifies you.
- Analytics. We use Vercel Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies and without identifying you or following you across sites.
- Server logs. Our host, Vercel, processes standard request information such as IP address, browser type and the page requested, in order to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. These logs are kept for a short time.
Who processes it for us
We use a small number of service providers only to run the site: Vercel (hosting and analytics), and our email provider (to store signups and send emails). They may process data in the United States. We don't sell personal information, share it for advertising, or use it to build profiles.
Links, photos and affiliate partners
Product photos load directly from the marketplace or shop that listed them, so that site may see a standard request from your browser. When you click through to a seller, including through an affiliate link, the seller's and the affiliate network's own privacy policies apply. Affiliate networks may set their own cookies on their sites to credit the sale.
Your choices and rights
You can unsubscribe at any time. Wherever you live, you can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or ask us to stop emailing you, and we'll answer within 30 days. Residents of places with privacy laws, such as California, Connecticut, other US states, the UK and the EU, have these rights by law, and you can also complain to your local data protection authority. We won't treat you differently for using your rights.
Children
The site isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has given us an email address, tell us and we'll delete it.
Security
The site is served only over HTTPS, and we keep as little data as we can. No system is perfectly secure, but if something goes wrong that affects your data, we'll tell you as the law requires.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If we start collecting something new about you, we'll say so here before we do.
