We operate from 2611 Pago Pago Ave, Anchorage, Alaska 99507 and can be reached at admin@dress-to-impresscodes.com or by phone at (907) 563‑3382.

1. Purpose and Scope
Why We Have a Privacy Policy
The United States does not yet have a comprehensive federal consumer privacy law. Several states, however, have enacted their own privacy statutes that grant residents specific rights over their personal data. New laws effective January 1 2026 in Indiana, Kentucky and Rhode Island give consumers rights to access, correct, delete, obtain a portable copy, and opt out of the sale of personal information, targeted advertising and certain profiling. California’s updated regulations expand the definition of sensitive personal information and require disclosures about automated decision‑making technology. Although Alaska has no comprehensive privacy law yet, we serve users nationwide and strive to respect consumer rights wherever they apply. This Policy outlines how we handle your data and explains your rights if you are a resident of a state with such laws.
Who This Policy Covers
This Policy applies to all visitors and users of our website, including residents of states with privacy laws (e.g., California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Indiana, Kentucky, Rhode Island) and those without such laws. It covers interactions through our website, email communications and any offline contact that references this Policy. Our services provide fashion advice, dress‑code guidelines and style inspiration; we do not sell products directly. We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (such as health or biometric data) and we do not knowingly market to children under 13.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
We collect personal information you choose to provide, such as:
Contact Information: When you email us, sign up for newsletters or fill out a contact form, you may provide your name, email address, phone number or other contact details. We use this information to respond to your inquiries or deliver requested communications.
User Feedback: If you share feedback, testimonials or fashion stories, we may collect your name and comments. We will seek permission before publishing any identifiable testimonial.
Business Inquiries: When businesses request collaborations (e.g., stylists, fashion brands, event planners), we may collect company name, contact person, role and business goals.
We do not ask for or store sensitive personal information like government IDs, health data or financial account numbers.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you browse our website, we automatically collect certain technical data:
Device & Usage Data: Your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages viewed, time spent, and links clicked. We use this data for analytics, security and site improvements.
Cookies: Small text files that remember your preferences (e.g., language settings) and help us analyze site usage. We use essential cookies for basic functionality and analytics cookies to understand user behavior. We do not use cookies for cross‑site tracking or targeted advertising.
Approximate Location: Derived from your IP address (e.g., city or state). We do not collect precise geolocation (e.g., GPS coordinates).
2.3 Information from Third Parties
If you follow us or interact with our content on social media platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook, Quora, Reddit or X), we may receive aggregated engagement metrics (e.g., likes, shares) but no personally identifying information unless you send a direct message or publicly comment. Any personal information shared via social media direct messages will be used only to respond to your inquiry.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use personal information for legitimate purposes:
Providing Services: Responding to inquiries, delivering newsletters or style guides, sending updates, and maintaining our website.
Improving User Experience: Analyzing website usage to improve content and navigation.
Business Operations: Managing collaborations, partnerships or affiliate relationships (if applicable) and internal record‑keeping.
Legal & Regulatory Compliance: Complying with applicable laws and responding to lawful requests from authorities.
Security: Detecting and preventing fraudulent or malicious activity.
We do not sell personal information or use it to profile individuals for automated decision‑making. We may share anonymized and aggregated statistics about our website usage but not data that identifies you.
4. How We Share Information
We may share personal information under limited circumstances:
Service Providers: We engage reputable companies to host our website, analyze traffic, send newsletters and provide customer support. These providers may access personal data only to perform tasks on our behalf and must protect it.
Legal & Compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, court order or government request, or to enforce our terms and protect our rights.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition or asset sale, personal data may be transferred subject to this Policy. We will notify you and require the new entity to honor this Policy or provide equivalent protection.
With Consent: We will obtain your permission before sharing personal data for any other purpose.
We do not sell personal information. However, some privacy laws interpret certain uses (e.g., sharing data for targeted ads) as “sales.” Because we do not engage in targeted advertising and we do not share personal data with third parties for marketing, we are exempt from those opt‑out obligations. If we change our practices, we will update this Policy and provide relevant opt‑out mechanisms.
5. Consumer Rights Under U.S. State Laws
Residents of states with privacy laws have specific rights regarding their personal data. We honor these rights for all users to the extent required by law.
5.1 Rights of Indiana Residents
Under the Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act (ICDPA), residents can:
Access and confirm if a business is processing their personal data.
Correct inaccuracies in their personal data.
Delete personal data (with certain exceptions).
Obtain a portable copy of their personal data.
Opt out of the sale of personal data, targeted advertising and certain profiling.
Appeal decisions regarding these requests.
5.2 Rights of Kentucky Residents
Under the Kentucky Consumer Data Protection Act (KCDPA), residents have the rights to know, access, correct, delete, and opt out of sale, targeted advertising and profiling. The law also requires opt‑in consent for sensitive and children’s data.
5.3 Rights of Rhode Island Residents
Under the Rhode Island Data Transparency and Privacy Protection Act (RIDTPPA), residents have the right to know what information has been collected, access their data, correct inaccuracies, delete data, and opt out of sale, targeted advertising and profiling. The law also requires disclosure of third parties to whom personal data is sold.
5.4 California and Other States
California’s updated regulations (CCPA and CPRA) expand the definition of sensitive personal information (e.g., neural data and data from minors) and require disclosures about automated decision‑making technology. Consumers may request corrections to inaccurate information. Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and other states provide similar rights to access, delete, correct and opt out. We will honor these rights as applicable.
5.5 Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of these rights, email us at admin@dress-to-impresscodes.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject line. Include your full name, state of residence and details of your request. We will verify your identity using reasonable methods (e.g., matching contact information) and respond within the timeframe required by the applicable law (typically 45 days). If we deny your request, we will provide reasons and information on how to appeal.
5.6 Non‑Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights. We will not deny services, charge different prices or offer different levels of quality based solely on your privacy preferences.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to provide a better user experience, analyze performance and measure audience engagement. You can control cookies via browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, but essential cookies are required for basic functions. We do not use cookies for cross‑site advertising.
6.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies enable core functionality, such as page navigation and access to secure areas. Without them, the website cannot function properly.
6.2 Analytics Cookies
We use third‑party analytics (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect anonymized data about website usage. These cookies help us understand which pages are popular, how users navigate the site, and where improvements are needed. We may obtain aggregated, anonymized reports but do not combine analytics data with personal information.
7. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical and physical measures to safeguard personal information:
Secure Transmission: Our website uses HTTPS to encrypt data during transit.

Regular Updates: We update software and systems to protect against vulnerabilities.
Incident Response: We have procedures to detect, respond to and mitigate data breaches. If a breach that may pose significant risk occurs, we will notify affected individuals and regulators as required.
However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. By using our site, you acknowledge that risks remain. We encourage you to use strong passwords and protect your own devices.
8. Data Retention and Disposal
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes stated above or as required by law. Generally, we retain:
Contact information and correspondence for up to one year after resolving your request.
Business records (e.g., agreements, transactions) for the period required by tax and regulatory laws.
Anonymous analytics data indefinitely, as it does not identify individuals.
When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

Our website is based in the United States. If you access the site from outside the U.S., your data may be transferred to and processed in the U.S., where privacy laws may differ.
