Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

At Pearl Street Finds, your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit pearlstreetfinds.com (the "Site"). By using our Site, you agree to the practices described below. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site.

Pearl Street Finds is an affiliate fashion content site. We curate style guides, trend roundups, and product recommendations, and we earn commissions when readers purchase through outbound links to third-party retailers. We do not sell products directly.

Information We Collect

We aim to collect only what is necessary to operate the Site, improve your experience, and comply with applicable laws including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We use the following categories:

Essential cookies: Required for the Site to function, including session management, security, and remembering your cookie preferences. These cannot be disabled.
Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our fashion guides and product pages (for example, which articles are most read, how long sessions last, and where readers click). We use these insights to improve our editorial content.
Affiliate cookies: When you click an outbound link to a retailer (such as a brand or marketplace), the retailer may set a cookie that attributes the referral to Pearl Street Finds. This allows us to receive a commission if you make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. We do not control these third-party cookies; please review the retailer's privacy policy for details.

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies at any time through our cookie banner or your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect Site functionality.

When you access the Site, our servers and analytics tools may log technical details such as your IP address (truncated where possible), browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, language preferences, and approximate geographic region. We use this information to ensure compatibility, detect fraud or abuse, and optimize page performance.

We Do Not Sell or Trade Your Personal Data

Pearl Street Finds does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration. We do not share your data with advertisers for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Web hosting and content delivery networks.
Privacy-respecting analytics platforms.
