This policy explains what information Matte & Mono ("we", "us") collects when you visit matteandmono.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. Matte & Mono is operated from Alberta, Canada. Contact: hello@matteandmono.com.
Information we collect
You give us
- Newsletter: your email address, sent to our email service provider so we can send The Edit.
- Contact form: your name, email and message.
- "Wore it" submissions: the photo, name or handle and any caption you choose to send. We only publish submissions we approve, with the credit you provide.
Collected automatically
- Analytics: we use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are read, roughly where visitors are, and what device and browser they use. Google uses cookies to do this.
- Advertising: we work with third-party advertising partners that may use cookies, pixels and similar technologies to show ads, measure them and, where you allow it, personalise them based on your visits to this and other sites. Our ad partner's privacy policy and cookie list are linked below once our ad partner is active.
- Polls and awards voting: we store anonymous vote counts. We don't connect a vote to you.
- Server logs: our host, Netlify, processes IP addresses and request data to deliver and secure the site.
Stays on your device (we never see it)
- Saved looks (mood boards) and your theme choice are stored in your browser's local storage.
- Try-on photos are processed entirely in your browser. They're never uploaded or stored by us.
Cookies and consent
Visitors in the EU, UK and similar regions are asked for consent before analytics and advertising cookies are used. You can change your choice at any time with the privacy settings link in our footer once our consent tool is active. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. See our Cookie Policy.
How we use information
To run and improve the site, send newsletters you've asked for, answer messages, show and measure ads, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations.
Sharing
We don't sell your personal information for money. We share data with service providers that help us run the site (hosting, analytics, email, advertising), and when required by law. Under some US state laws, using advertising cookies can count as "selling" or "sharing". You can opt out using the privacy settings link once our consent tool is active, or by enabling Global Privacy Control in your browser.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, including under Canada's PIPEDA and Alberta's PIPA, the EU/UK GDPR, and US state laws such as California's CCPA/CPRA, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or get a copy of your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain uses. Email hello@matteandmono.com and we'll respond within 30 days.
Opting out of personalised ads
Visit aboutads.info/choices, youronlinechoices.eu or networkadvertising.org/choices, or use your device's ad settings. To opt out of Google Analytics, use Google's opt-out browser add-on.
Children
Matte & Mono is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU/UK), and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we'll delete it.
Data retention and security
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, and we use reasonable safeguards to protect it. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
International transfers
Our service providers may process data outside Canada, including in the United States. Where required, transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards.
